Recs and Reviews

It's another M/K classic. Te is extremely good with portraying the inner voices of our mad characters and turn them into lyrics. ....And he hoped the night would never end, because sometimes the taste of death is a lot like love[1]

Aaah, vampire fic... What fandom would be complete without a fic, or ten, where the characters for no logical reason turn into bloodsucking creatures of the night?

In the Mulder/Krycek pairing, A Love of Dead Things is the prime example of this absurd genre. I admit, I enjoy this type of fic because I have a weakness for blood play, but the reasons I'm reccing this series of snapshots from Mulder's unlife with Alex here is the beauty of Te's language and her stunning command of narrative technique. The stream of consciousness narration is original and powerful, and, though this doesn't reach the level of perfection Te has achieved in some of her later works in other fandoms, it is still a remarkable piece of writing. And the biting really is hot.[2]
