Recs and Reviews
I read this story at the height of the events at the The Cube/Fight Club archive and had to stop every few paragraphs to scream. Yes, this story is a bit sick - or rather, its Krycek is. But it's also beautiful in its consistent exploration of the psyche and subsequent actions of an Alex Krycek wounded and mad beyond reason. Similarly outstanding is Satina and Orangy's portrayal of Mulder who is a skilled psychologist, although both Chris Carter and the show's fans seem to forget that more often than not. Krycek and Mulder spark against each other, but it is exactly this spark that helps them build a tenuous connection that lets Krycek step back from the precipice before it is too late. I'll always be grateful to Satina and Orange for a truly outstanding story and only regret that they've written no new collaborations since.[1]
A painful beauty. A classic. Cauterized is exactly the right title for this story.[2]
