Okay, I've finished part 1, officially, and kinda skimmed it a long time ago and I know it's fabulous writing and W says it's the best and I assume she's telling the truth. The problem is that I don't enjoy slash, normally. It's not my kink--I'm old school, you shouldn't know how old--and I feel that I can't possibly make a judicious judgment.
Well, fuck that. THIS IS GREAT. I was seduced. By the prose. Just as Krycek was seduced by Mulder, although he thought HE was in the driver's seat.
As things stand now, I think that Mulder--older, wiser, but so much more frustrated--has impressed our callow villain-in-training by simply admitting to a needy humanity. They're both hot and all, but sex doesn't have to go deep; it's an effective manipulating machine, as K knows well. Yet he is confronted by a complex, suffering, SMART man who eludes not manipulation, but his own desire to manipulate. Krycek is at present undone.
This writer, whatever she calls herself, does lust description better than anyone except two or three shippers. Khyber springs to mind.
Part 1. I'm not asking you to wait for me to finish part 4. Maybe I'll change my mind. Maybe it isn't the masterwork W claims. But remember that I don't do slash and, well, I think it probably is too.
