Randi,
There were a lot of elements of Smallville which duplicated L&C. That being the case I don't think it is a justification to post in this forum.
The fundamental premise as you have stated it is that Lex and Clark grew up as close friends, almost like brothers. That happened in the comic canon and in Smallville canon but definitely not in L&C canon.
Based on that foundation this story should be moved to the Superman in other Canon fanfic forum.
