Recs and Reviews

M/K This is wrong on so many wonderful twisted levels. If you think that evil in a relationship makes for good fic, read now. I know it`s a wip, but it`s so worth it. Krycek is screwed up and luckily for him Mulder is just as screwed up. Together they fit together perfectly in a relationship so wrong you have to read it to believe it.
