Recs and Reviews
This story picks up after RatB (The Red and the Black). I was pretty sure the boy Dimitri dies in the attack at Skyland Mountain. Either I was wrong or Cody just decided to go a little AU and say that he hadn't. In this we see Krycek keeping his promise to Dimitri that he will take care of him. Returning to where he is hospitalized to help get him back to Russia and find him a place to live. Cody's Krycek's tend to be on the innocent who got sucked into the game kind and so hers are a little fluffy. Mulder catches Krycek with him, but having no real evidence to bring Krycek in on is helpless to do anything against the man. Watching Krycek with the boy he sees a different side to him, that can care. They come to a wary truce long enough for them both to get the boy back home. They also end up finally breaking through some of that UST. The second story picks up where the first left off after Alex has kept his promise and returned to Mulder. From there we see how the boys relationship works from that point on. The guys are awkward in their relationship skills. Trying to figure out how this works. What they want to be to one another and what the other wants from them. It's really very cute in that guy kind of way. Sad as it is. You know from the name and how well Cody writes men I thought she might be a guy. Turns out Cody is a she. Every writer I thought was a really good writer and a guy, it turns out they are women. Hmmm...I don't know if I have liked any male slash writers work. Names being ambiguous, you can never know. So I might have, to my knowledge I haven't though. Oh, well. Nothing against them, like I said I mistakenly thought several were guys and just weren't. Whatever.[1]
I really like this story. There were just so many emotions boiling beneath the surface. I think Scully must have noticed something. And Dmitri...ah, he was just toooooo adorable. I would have taken him home with ME. I was hoping to see Mulder...ahem...receive some of Alex's lovin'. Mulder+Krycek ***½[2]
