Author's Description
Description from the author's site:
This story is my favorite from what's on this page, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. But it's a SEQUEL to the story above ("The Same Everywhere"), and if you know what's good for you, you'll read that one first. [2]
Recs and Reviews
Since [L] is heavily into Mulder/Krycek these days, maybe this is the place to mention that one of the best I've seen recently has been published on the net, Jane Mortimer's "The Same Everywhere." I love this writer's style, the quirky power balance between the two, and her incredibly unique way of combining angst, sex, and a truly unique brand of humor. She's in the progress of writing a sequel, "The Hand We Were Dealt," which is being posted in segments on [L's] M/K. list, and it's just as good. [3]
