Il Traviato is a slash 74-page Mulder/Krycek novel by Cody Nelson. The cover art and interior illustrations are by the author.
Summary from Rat and Fox: "NC17, Mulder/Krycek. A novel in three acts: Mulder and Krycek as a loose interpretation of the opera La Traviata, following the series from "Sleepless" through "Apocrypha." Second through third season."[1][2]
Summary from the flyer: "The X-Files have been shut down, and Mulder has been assigned a new partner - an eager, fresh-faced young agent named Alex Krycek. Reluctant at first, Mulder soon finds this new partner becoming another of his obsessions - even as he suspects that Krycek is not all he seems. . . .
Published in May, 1997, the events of this novel take place during the second and third seasons of the X-Files, from the episodes "Sleepless" through "Apocrypha." 76 pages."
Author's Comments: My second-longest X-Files story, I got to include some conspiracy, some case work, Mulder-Scully interaction, lots of angst, lots of sex... a little bit of everything. And a happy ending[3]

If you like your Mulder dweebish, you might like "Lo Traviato," the M/K Cody is currently working on. Even though Mulder is the one who makes the first move, he's still amazingly dweebish. He thinks he's seducing a virginal Krycek, because that's what he wants to think...[4]

Good news: Cody Nelson has finished her new Mulder/Krycek opus, Lo Traviato. It's over 50,000 words, and will be published by Kathy Agel. I suppose it's an alternate universe now, since it doesn't take into account the events of "Terma." But then, most fanfic doesn't. (Deny everything. Especially "Terma." That's our motto!)[5]
Cody has finished Lo Traviato, only it's called 77 Traviato now. (Someone gave her an Italian lesson, I guess! ☺) She's done some lovely illos for it, and Agel will be debuting it at MediaWest this year.[6]
