Shock the Monkey is a Mulder/Krycek story by Kassandra.
Recs and Reviews
The best "redeeming Krycek" story I've read so far.[1]
Kassandra really gets Krycek, and writes him from a perspective that is wholly human without conveniently forgetting the history of the character. It's an enthralling story without being flashy, and draws you in through the sheer nature of the characters. Mulder is wonderfully written here, and all the other characters aren't forgotten (which happens with a lot of Mulder/Krycek fics) or written OOC. Just a long, subtle, at times angsty but ultimately enjoyable read.[2]
Kassandra is one of my favourite authors and I love this story because the voice of Krycek is one I can believe in implicitly. He's snarky and sarcastic and totally obsessed with Mulder. Even when he moves in to look after Mulder and the two gradually begin a relationship, there is no lovey-dovey stuff here. There's a lot of humour, though, and I come back to this story again and again.[3]
