Recs and Reviews
This story falls under the category of humor. The kind that isn't forced, has you just following along in it's wake, cracking up. [...] In this one Alex is feeling pretty restless so he decides to cause some trouble to liven up his mood. Mulder just happens to be the unwitting focus of this as he pulls him along into it to help him. Mulder comes pretty willingly, that hot sex is the big motivational point has nothing to do with it I'm sure. [...] I love Alex's internal dialogue in this one it is so funny, in that snarky kind of way. [...] This one always cracks me up, I just love it. It's a little escape from the mundanities of their real lives, to just live it up for a little while. To hell with the establishment and the status quo. Hell, that's my motto in life. A good all purpose 'fuck you' to TPTB. Come to think of it that is what this rec'ing fest is about. Flipping the bird to CC and company for the bad things that just did not happen to Mulder and Alex for the past couple of seasons. Deny Everything I say. Fuck it all. Make up your own reality it is so much more fun. Trust me. Since the X-files doesn't fall anywhere near within the realms of reality, I say all the more fun to make what of it that you will. <wicked chuckle> This story just so captures my attitude during this rec fest. Right to a T. So go on and read it.[1]
Most people try to convey Alex as some sort of misunderstood assassin who has a beanie baby for a heart, and that just doesn't make sense. This story does, and in so many ways. I enjoyed the list, too. Is it bad that most of those things apply to me on a not-so-good day? Krycek/Mulder ****½ [2]
A tale built around affirmations like "as I let go of my feelings of guilt, I am in touch with my inner sociopath" and "as I learn the innermost secrets of people around me, they reward me in many ways to keep me quiet" – not to mention the immortal "in some cultures what I do would be considered normal". Krycek is bored and annoyed with his job and decides to amuse himself by paying Mulder a visit.[3]
