I know I'm normally lazy and do not comment or even do not find time to read the stories, but since I nominated this one, I felt obliged to express my opinion and why I found it worth discussing.

First of all - I Am a Slasher.
I read everywhere (in every fandom) and have really little boundries that I do not cross. When I joined this community and I noticed that there's possibility to discuss slash I made it my mission to find a slash short enough to not bore the not-slashers, innocent enough to not disgust them and good enough to worth discussing.

And I remembered about this fic I read some time ago and found one of the most interesting I've ever did. (Not my favorite tough, my favs are far too long ^^).

Anyway. Back to the story and my opinion.

I think this fic is worth reading, because of different way of showing Alex. Even if the pairing is Mulder/Krycek and Alex is more submissive in the relationship, he rarely is shown as someone unsure of situation. And - forgetiing for a moment about the slash - he rarely shows it, even, when he is unsure and lost in the situation. That's why this fic is something different.

I personally can't buy Alex being this innocent and unsure and I'm not sure if it's because of the fanfiction I read or maybe that I always liked in him that attitude he's oviously lacking in here.

Still I enjoy different creation, and I very much enjoy Mulder's character. Even if slash suggested in the series* was always with Krycek being too much interested and Mulder not being interested at all. But, that's what we have fanfiction for, right? :)

* Oh, come on! Even Nick Lea said that Krycek is gay.

PS. There's a kind of story I would like to find for this community and it's again a slash. The problem is I can't found any good and short one. But I will keep looking and let you know.
If you want to know I'm looking for some fic with very well pictured Scully's reaction on Mulder/Krycek slash. (Well, not neceserilly M/K, but that's my favorite ^^). I hope I'll find something worth discussing.

PPS. It's awfully quiet in this community. I hope you won't mind if I'll advertise it on couple of communities or pages... I just hope we won't have tha sudden wave of slasher later ^^
