Summary
Rewrite/Fix-It/AU of the Smallville season two episode "Ryan." How would the story differ in a world a bit more like the comics, where Clark was in high school in the 1990s and was already Superboy? Would being Superboy, rather than just Clark, give him a better chance at saving Ryan?
While it is a Smallville-centric story, it's also an AU/Crossover and a fusion of sorts (expect some winking references to non-DC things), told in flashback by a "Superman & Lois" and "Super-Sons"-era Clark, looking back on his time in high school. Inspired by Smallville and classic Superboy comics alongside Post-Crisis and Post-Rebirth continuities, this story not only follows Clark's relationship with Ryan, but how Ryan's presence in their lives changes things for both Clark and Lex.
There's a few genderflipped characters for reasons, and well, most everyone is gay. Chloe is Colin, Lana is Landon, and Clark has two dads. Not an Omegaverse world. Just the way I roll.
It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but I will say I am not a fan of angst, and I *am* a fan of happy endings, though some things may have a trace of the bittersweet. Hope you enjoy!
