Recs and Reviews

"It is always the case that the one who is not your friend will request your neutrality, and that the one who is your friend will request your armed support," Machiavelli.

That quote is where this story gets it title and what it is about. Many of you have heard the saying, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Well, the quote above is where it is derived from. How you can tell which one is your enemy and which is your friend. This is sortof an M/K story, not quite in some ways. It takes places during Triangle. Like a missing scene type of thing, where we see that maybe there was a version of Krycek on that ship along with all of those other faces so familiar to Mulder. It's quite a hot story, a nice hot sex scene. Mulder also gets some advice about looking a little closer at why Krycek does things. Advice to ask Krycek himself why, something Mulder has never done. I just love that quote above. It's from Machivelli's The Prince, a little advice on war and choosing sides. I always remember this story due to that quote. Just made me love it.
