Fics where Clark's and Lex's roles / gender / bodies / ages are reversed. (Episodes: Transference, Leech, Spirit)

If you don't see a particular role switch, check Men at Work or At the Movies. There are no 'always a girl' Clark or Lex stories.

In alphabetical order by title. No WIPs or locked journal entries (I may miss a few because I'm friended).
