I was seduced too. You know how I feel about Krycek. eliade is just such a great writer. She gives the reader such a nice slow build toward the sex. That's the best part and without it, there's just no point, you know?

I like how smart both characters are here, and how well-matched they are as investigators, too. I love how they are both drawn into this thing they have, despite Mulder's inability to trust him and Alex's better judgment. It pushed all of my doomed ship buttons perfectly.

I wonder if anyone wrote an AU where Krycek's role in Scully's abduction doesn't come to light almost immediately so that when she's returned, Krycek is still Mulder's partner...
