Recs and Reviews

I like Louise's stories, I really do, although her experimental style throws me a bit. She likes to use 1st person POV and sometimes the emotions it's intended to convey don't feel very deep or real to me. Still, I have to admit that I was utterly captivated by both "Chemistry Book" and "Echo Lane" and came to visit her website daily in the hopes of a new update when the stories were posted. She portrays very well the various levels of attraction and hostility between Mulder and Krycek and their inability for a long time to let go of past hurts and achieve some sort of middle ground where they are no longer ruled by the Consortium's influences on their lives. Addictive.[1]

A great series. Mulder gets a look at what life could have been in a cute A/U romp. It`s a very cute (I just realised I used cute twice, but it really is and in a good way) premise that is well executed and I love it everytime I read it.[2]

It's long and poignant and beautiful. It's about what ifs and why nots. *Gorgeous*[3]
