Title: Post-Apocalyptic Lex/Bottle
TV Show: Smallville
Characters: Lex/Bottle
Theme: #3, Not Quite Human - Parody Pairings & Pet Pals
Info/Backstory: I know when Lex was with bottle on the show during the early seasons that their relationship was more about the the physical and mind games and that Lex was just using bottle without any intention of ever refilling it, however this wall isn't about Lex/bottle ship in the context of the show, this is an alternate future in which Braniac and his lover, toaster oven had used Lex to help him take over the world, but only half suceeding, leaving some of the human population still alive (as opposed to killing everyone) but with the world in flames that never seem to die out. In this world, Lex, full of guilt and anger over what happened, unexpectedly finds solace in the familiar cold touches of his ex lover... would make a pretty cool fic if I was capable of finishing fics. Anyway, I was initially just gonna make a regular sexy Lex/bottle wall that shows their relationship in the earlier seasons but i seem to have been on an AU kick from my last wall.

Title: We'll always have Shanghai
TV Show: Smallville & Supernatural
Characters: Lana Lang/Bela Talbot
Theme: #1, Slash & Femme Slash
Info/Backstory: Another piece inspired by a fic idea I haven't written. It's a long one but i hope you guys do read it.

Prior to being a constant pain in the Winchester brother's hot arses, Bela occasionally worked for Lex Luthor, procuring (stealing) unique items of alien origin for him. During one of their meetings Bela meets Lana who was dating Lex at the time. They both initially disaprove of each other, Lana of Bela's career choice, lack of morality and attitude and Bela seeing Lana as uptight, self righteous and hypocritical. Neither acknowledged or even realise their attraction to each other and never fail to show their disaproval of each other every chance they get. After Lana ties the knot with Lex and later discovers his betrayal however, Lana ends up having to turn to her nemesis for help. She asks Bela to help teach her how to hack into Lex's system, steal Lex's money and cover her tracks. The deal was to split the money in half. Though Bela could easily make more money on her own, she ends up helping Lana anyway. Once Lana faked her own death, Bela goes with her to Shanghai where they finally acknowledge their feelings for each other and become lovers. They live together for nearly three months though Bela refused to open up to Lana about her life. Bela knows that she only has one year left to wiggle out of her deal with the crossroad demon or she'll die and hence makes the decision to leave Lana while she finds a way to keep living. So, Bela pushes Lana away, thinking that she'll either find a way out and come back to Lana (or steal her from whomever she's with at the time if she has to) or she'll die and Lana will never know, she would only be hurt momentarily from the break up but not scarred by her death. So, Bela breaks up with Lana and Lana is soon after, discovered by Lex and eventually returns to Smallville where she goes back to Clark despite knowing that she was nothing like the girl he fell in love with and she wasn't sure anymore herself how much she really loved him. Later just before she dies Bela breaks her resolve and comes to Smallville to find Lana to tell her the truth and to spend her last week with the woman she loves, however at the time, Lana was attacked by Brainiac and was comatosed. Bela, broken hearted, leaves her a letter telling her everything she was afraid to tell her before. She didn't really think Lana was going to wake up to read it since the doctors say she probably won't wake up however Lana did wake up but only a day after Bela died. More in the fanfic section.

Wow... there is like, no hetero here at all...

[minerva73]

:lol: That's true, Ry.

Amazing turnout! Just placed my votes. :)

[Daddylion]

Yeah :) better turn out than i thought...too bad the Kara/Dean one and the Mr.Muggles/Shelby one couldn't be on it. They would have gotten my vote too.

[Lex'sLover]

Wow... there is like, no hetero here at all...
lmao! Its so true! i didnt even realize!! haha

well... They are all awesome and its really hard to choose. I really like the Lana and Bela though I dont know who Bela is its very cool. And the Lex/Bottle is wicked, and I totally love the concept. But.. I think Im going to have to go with Dean and the Impala... The wall looks wicked and i really love the pictures on the side. Also the picture of the faded car in the background looks really cool. Plus.. there is just something about a man and his car ;)

[Daddylion]

Plus.. there is just something about a man and his car ;)

And yet you don't think Transformer ships are cool? I mean then the car would be sentient and able to talk back and return the affection, hehehe. I actually read a fic where the Impala is actually a transformer, and that doesn't that just give Dean's Impala love a new twist? hehehe

[Ginx]

A lot of ties going on :) - we need more votes please.

I've never read the fanfic about the Impala being a transformer - that sounds interesting. Maybe not in the love sense, but having a car that transforms and he could kick supernatural booty lol - well, I guess the car would be doing all the work though. And I'm sure that if the car actually spoke that Dean wouldn't love it as much - lol...

[Daddylion]

You don't think Dean would love the Impala if it actually spoke? Well i do.

[Ginx]

You don't think Dean would love the Impala if it actually spoke? Well i do.

I think the Impala would be telling Dean stuff he doesn't want to hear lol. Dean loves the Impala because he 'thinks' he knows what it wants but if it could actually tell him I think it would be the same as a relationship for Dean and from what we've seen he's not too good with the relationship thing ;) - Of course, I could be wrong. This is just my impression of Dean/Impala and guys/cars in general :)

[Daddylion]

Well i sort of agree with you on the stuff he doesn't want to hear, but I kinda always saw the Impala as, if it was a women, it'd be Dean's perfect women, and they'd have a relationship that, while rockier than the current Dean/Impala ship, it'd be deeper. I always thought she'd have all the memories of Dean with her as the Impala and see him as her family be just as protective...

That makes sense too - I just wasn't looking at it from that perspective. :)

[Ginx]

Yeah, I guess people aren't looking in this thread as much as the fanart main thread for Smallville. Maybe we should start making another thread there that leads here? Then we could get more people to vote...... :o

[TW1977]

All the entries are awesome! How can you vote more than once if the poll allows only one? :\

[Ginx]

All the entries are awesome! How can you vote more than once if the poll allows only one? :\

[minerva73]

Well, I guess the link in the SV Fan Art section helped. We're almost at the 30 people number. :lol:

[Daddylion]

I guess so :D

[Ginx]

Well, I guess the link in the SV Fan Art section helped. We're almost at the 30 people number. :lol:

Yeah, it def helped :) Now I just need to round up a few more votes lol so I can make FotW proud :) I'm glad we got some more votes and people viewing this thread because the entries are all really awesome and deserve some attention :)

[Disco_Lemonade]

I wish I could be artistically gifted... Luv the art guys, might have checked it out sooner if my computer actually functioned... :D

Cross dressing Dean, lol.

[Daddylion]

Thanks for noticing hehe

[Ginx]

One more day and then voting closes. Once again, we have some ties ;) It keeps shifting around which ones are tied so a few more votes would help out :)

[Ginx]

Cool. Congrats Ginx!! All your stuff was amazing in this round, and everyone else too. Lots of cool stuff didn't even get to the polls.

Thanks! Congrats to you too! Your work was awesome as well. Congrats to everyone - it was a great assortment of awesome artwork - hard to pick just one imo :)

[Firebunny]

Congratulations Ginx. Dean/Impala was my favorite. And Ry, your Botex was my second favorite. It seems that a lot of people agreed with me.

But, really, everything was so good and a lot of it made me laugh. I liked reading the backstories. They added a lot to the wallpapers.

Congratulations everyone.

Next question: Do we get spiffy banners?

[Daddylion]

Yes, you do, I'm in charge of making them this round since Stevie's not here, I'll get started soon as I finish my lunch.

[Daddylion]

Ginx, the only mod's choices are here right? Cause from what i know mod's choice could also be the stuff that wasn't in the poll but just entered in the other thread... or is that not mod's choice but honorable mention... :confused: And I'm way too lazy to make a mod's choice for myself so I hope you don't mind that :p

Wow, Ry, you have surpassed spiffy and crossed over to beautiful banners. I love how you took the colors from the wallpapers and used them in the individual certificate. I'm going to treasure mine and post it proudly.

Thank you.

[Daddylion]

You're welcome :) and Stevie does the colouring thing too, actually with her she uses different textures as background for each wall, but i was too lazy, just ended up using one...

[minerva73]

Congratulations to Firebunny, Ginx, and Daddylion! http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t109/megamonster255/Avatars%20and%20Banners/Smileys/thatrocks3in.gif

Awesome banners Ry :) - But I can't view mine? I can see the thumbnail but when I click on it I get a page load error - I can view the others just fine. I agree, really love the font choice and layout - nice work :)
