Ok, Hi everyone =D
I fell prey to temptation. Yep, so here's my very own rec page, just like hundreds out there =)
I'd like to rec some Mulder/Krycek fics, because it scares me how the x-files fandom, this pairing particularly, is dying. Many authors have moved on, their fics have disappeared from the net, which is such a crying shame, I have no words. Particularly when an extremely talented author takes away his/her work down- it's such a loss. Our loss. (for example you can't find Logan's Second Grace on the net anymore, can you believe that?!)
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Alex Krycek, go here:
http://www.nicklea.com/krycek/home.htmHe's a fascinating character to write and play around with, because we know very little about his past or his motivations. A dangerous traitor, but a beautifully sexy and vulnerable one...
As for Fox Mulder. Well, if you don't know him or the X-files, you must have been living in Antarctica or something. No need to introduce him, right? Well here he is anyway, a short description of a complicated man:
http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~fox_chic/Fox.htmlThis fandom has so many gorgeous epics and some of them go way back to the 90's! 97, 98, 99... oldies, you could say, but they have a knack for eating your brain and just stealing your heart away...
OK, why don't we start with classics. Let's see...
The GHOSTS and LOVERS Series by Torch
http://www.strangeplaces.net/torch/xfstories.htmlShe's aboslutely amazing. Plot, characters, angsty romance and sex, what more could one want? Oh yes - *length*. And you definitely have it.
The HOW TO THROW A CURVE BALL Series by Courtney Grey
http://www.mindspring.com/~seagray/fanfic.htmAwesome, elegantly beautifully achingly awesome. It's hard to describe this any other way, but all I can say is that's it's beautiful and absolutely captivating.
The DEPARTURE series by Imajiru
http://imajiru.7dragons.net/fiction/xf/index.htmlI almost had a cardiac arrest when her stories went back on line! I was all mourning her and all and she came back! So here's to stunning narration and lovely evolution of the M/K dynamic, and to the hottest story ever! This series really touched me, marked me, it's honestly the hottest thing I've ever read in my life, which is saying something [laughs] To tell the truth, when I first read this, I was well and truly shocked, almost disturbed, but it rapidly sucked me in. It has a way of possessing you =P See for yourself, Imajiru's just brilliant.
Read her RESISTANCE, too. It's a shamelessly mind-blowing story, too. A post-apocalyptic AU...
http://imajiru.7dragons.net/fiction/xf/resistance.htmland QUICKSAND, hurt/comfort fics are so rare with this pairing (it's that hard), esp ones so well done...
http://imajiru.7dragons.net/fiction/xf/quicksand.html(did I mention that she's one of my most favourite authors in *all* fandoms ever, definitely the one who's influenced me the most? =P)
ECHO LANE by (the fantastic and absolutely brilliant) Louise Wu
http://lzl.dreamhost.com/Stories/EL/EchoLane.htmlIt's long and poignant and beautiful. It's about what ifs and why nots. *Gorgeous*
CHEMISTRY, same author. Long, *hot* and engrossing! A treasure.
http://lzl.dreamhost.com/Stories/Chem/Chemistry.htmlTHE GIFT OF AN ENEMY BY Sylvia
http://strangeplaces.net/sylvia/Giftmain.htmAgain, one of the creme of the creme out there. Mulder recieves a gift, obviously, and it's also obvious that this story is *amazing*.
THE HARDENED CRIMINAL by By Orithain and Nicole S.
http://denofsin.slashcity.net/hccover.htmlIt's a long AU in a prison, a delicious read, even though I'm not convinced about how it all works out. Non-con warning. But it's truly one of the classics of the fandom and I've read it 3 times, so that must tell you something.
CAUTERIZED by Orangy & Satina
http://www.skeeter63.org/~allaire/Cauterized.htmA painful beauty. A classic. Cauterized is exactly the right title for this story.
PERFECT PARTNERS by Megaera
http://www.squidge.org/terma/megaera/perfect.htmTotally squee-worthy almost-AU. Made me smile like mad, reading this, and like most M/K, actually *all* M/K stories, it's phew, *hot*!
DANCING IN THE SHADOWS by Mort
http://morts-lair.com/XFfanfiction/Dancing/ShadowsIndex.htmA recent addition, to my delight. It took me a while to get into this story, but once you do, you won't be able to let go. It's a beautiful and long, a story that comes up with an explanation for the whole x-files plot, which is just amazing, if you ask me.
Ok, I'll leave it at that for now, there will be more recs to follow. Enjoy!
