    Summary

    “Hey, you’ve reached Clark Kent. Leave me a message and I’ll talk to you soon.”

    A thick lump threatened to swell in Lex’s throat and he swallowed it down.

    “You wouldn’t believe this, Clark,” he said, beginning a circuit around the terrace garden, “Even if you were here to see it. For as long as my father has been dead, it's never stopped him from meddling in my life.”

    The next words were hard to say out loud, even to someone who wasn’t listening.

    “We have a child. A son, to be exact. Your DNA combined with mine.”

    -

    Blessing and tragedy have always walked hand in hand for Lex Luthor.

    Or, they’re supposed to be, anyway. 

    In which Jaskier is a witcher and a bard. And Geralt is confused.
