xf_book_clubYes. I know, I am bypassing the queue again. I need humor, friends, and there is no humor to be found in the queue, just depressing and even more depressing story recs. It has been a long time since I've read this, but I remember it as being a very clever x-file, written by two premier writers from our fandom. And, if memory serves, it is quite funny, too.
Title: "Malus Genius, vel Hoc Lemma Nequiquam Latine Scribitur" (The Evil Spirit, or This Title Is Written In Latin for No Reason)
Category: X, R, A, H
Rating: mostly R (sexual situations, mature language, and implied violence), but there are a couple of NC-17 sections.
Spoilers: Brief episode references late in the story; no major spoilers. This is a stand-alone, with the typical stand-alone disregard for the mytharc.
Keywords: Mulder/Scully romance
Summary: What's *your* evil spirit?
Malus Genius
As usual, give love to the writers, let us know what you think and leave suggestions for next time. I swear, I will get back to them, eventually.

Not much not to like in this little story... the demon, Kandee, poor Mr. Kopeck... Mulder's angst over getting old.. under it all a bit of sweet, decidedly oddball humor. I laughed out loud at the "reveal your pink tits!" line, and at a few other choice moments.
Nice, not entirely mindless, feel good pick.. I enjoyed the reread!

Date: 2009-12-13 07:34 pm (UTC)*sheepish grin* I did my BA in Theology, specialising in Biblical studies and the Ancient Near East, so gods, demons, sacrifices and horrible apocalyptic happenings, all in strange scribbly languages, are one of my areas of geekery. I am thus thoroughly disappointed when demons and the like in fiction are little more than Screwtape's more pathetic cousins.
