Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

“How about love and commitment?” Clark responded, causing Lana to look at him speculatively, as if she was measuring him for some formal wear.
Cloe sighed mournfully, seeing the writing on the wall and Xander reflexively hugged her at the sound.
D’Hoffryn stroked his chin as he watched Cloe and Xander, nodding in silent confirmation of something he’d been unsure of.
“Are things the rich can’t afford, ironically enough. If I’m lucky I’ll fall in love with the woman I marry, but I’ll probably have to settle for being compatible and sharing the same or similar goals.”
Clark looked like a kid someone had just told there was no such thing as Santa Clause.
Lex tried to explain, touched that Clark cared that much about his happiness. “Love requires a certain amount of trust and openness that, unfortunately, is pretty much trained out of us. A satisfying sex life is poor compensation for its loss, I’ve been told, but it is something. Besides, you can’t miss what you’ve never had.”
Clark looked like he was about to cry and the girls sniffed back their own tears.
“Oh, for Chaos’ sake! Here, take it. “ D’Hoffryn held out a black opal pendant to Lex.
“What is it?” The bald businessman asked, as he accepted the gift.
“It’s a heart seeker. It’ll lead anyone to their potential true loves and will turn white in their presence.”
“Why would you have a heart seeker on you?” Cloe asked.
“So I could avoid finding true love of course.”
“You want to avoid finding your true love?” Lana asked, the romantic in her crying foul.
“Yes, I do. I’m a demon of vengeance. Can you imagine what my true love would be like? I assure you, it’s a situation I really should avoid. Not to mention a prophecy that I fully intend to render void, but that’s rather personal and I don’t plan on discussing it.”
