X-Files Archives

  • Slashing Mulder, what it says!
  • Down in the Basement, a slash archive for every pairing and threesome you might want. Beautifully organised and easy to use.
  • Red Light District NC-17 and R rated fiction
  • RatB Mulder-Krycek as it says, all about Rat boy with my favourite G man. Also TER/MA (truly erotic Ratboy slash Mulder Association) an archive for author pages.
  • Lisa E Krysa's award site for the best in M/K fiction. Links to all award winning stories.
  • The Acacia Archive - case files, x-files, humour, conspiracy, pre-xf, MulderTorture, Profiling, crossovers, etc. Muldercentric, and no romance (slash or het) unless only a small part of the story, and with an original character.
  • The Red Light District - NC-17 and R rated X-Files Slash what it says!
  • Things are looking up  an archive for the what the archivists, Kashmir and Marcia Elena,  consider the classics of the M/K fandom.
  • The X-files Lyric Wheel  The wheel is a writing challenge based on song lyrics producing short stories of approximately 10K, 2000 words or four pages length. Slash, gen and het.
  • Mulder/Krycek Lyric Wheel The first M/K Wheel is planned for February/March, and since it'll be near Valentine's, it'll be 'The Wheel of Love'. and go to the Mulder Krycek Art Wheel for those companion manips.
  • RATales Archive a Krycek focused archive. If you go by the titles they give you the pairings so you can avoid all the ones you don't want and concentrate on the enjoyable Mulder/Krycek stories. :-) I do have to say though, that far too many are of the worshipful, wronged Krycek type that I hate so much. Krycek was a baddie, with a mission maybe, but a baddie all the same. Why do some people want to whitewash him and have Mulder in the evil role <shakes head in bewilderment>, surely Krycek's 'badness' is part of his appeal?
  • I ought to add The Gossamer project archive. It's for all X-files, but is mostly MSR or gen with some slash..
  • The Mulder and Krycek Christmas Zine what is says, stories and pictures.
  • Hegal Place a collection of M/K sites

X-files Fan fiction  

"Call me kinky, but I wanted to see it happen. I was on the edge of my seat going 'Do it, Do it!'" Tea Leoni on the kiss between her husband David Duchovny and his X-Files costar, Nick Lea

Mainly slash, nearly all M/K as this is what I see on screen, with a nod to some M/Sc UST and strong affection. What you won't be finding is the 'wronged and misunderstood' Krycek paired with a Mulder who is 'hardly fit to lick his boots' type stories as I find them an anathema.

Latest recs updated 17/06/08

  • Viridian stories go from the sublime to the ridiculous. Slumber Party (with Te) is unbelievable, but oh so fun. I am particularly fond of the Addictions and Turnabout series and enjoyed The Truth series which is AU where everyone Mulder trusts is actually working against him and lying to him, except of course the man he least trusts!
  • Torch's Ghosts renamed The North West Passage, and then everything on the page. Her M/K are to die for. Despite not knowing Highlander I very much enjoyed China a Mulder/Methos story
  • Courtney Grey writes wonderful M/K. I love her How to Throw a Curve Ball series.
  • Aries has written one of my guilty pleasures, Private Dancer and its sequel One night Only. Her M/K is romantic, and I'm not always certain that I buy it, but it's well written, and enjoyable so I read anyway!
  • Second Grace by Logan has been taken off line unfortunately, but Agent with style has Second Grace for sale as a zine. Shelba, a friend of Logan's and normally a MSR writer! wrote a birthday story for him in the Second Grace Universe called Moonlight. and Memory. It is as lovely and as painfully beautiful as Second Grace.
  • Next a mention for what one might call engaging bad!fic. For example Jo B has written a very long AU called Life from the Ashes. It contains a number of things I normally avoid like the plague such as male pregnancy and M/K/Sk, and really should have been finished some time back, but despite its many flaws and OTT purple prose I'm fascinated by it! Shakes head in despair at herself! Then there's The Changing Series by Nicole, another florid AU that absorbed me almost against my will. I love fantasy, and this has every element possible in it. Her primary pairing is M/K but Skinner is involved. It is long, three books, unfinished, vivid, over the top, brutal, violent, perverse etc. but the love between Mulder and Krycek is wonderful to read. Like the above story, not for everyone and again containing far too much purple prose!
  • Jeylan is new to M/K and slashing Mulder. Her first slash was a brief M/K conversation The Real Truth and then Deep Play a M/OMC, and it was brilliant. I am waiting impatiently for the next M/K, as promised within Deep Play, but don't think it is likely to happen except perhaps as a zine.
  • Cody Nelson everything M/K is worth a read.
  • Mik's M/K stories are worth reading. I will note that Bentropy really frustrated me. It was a follow up to the angst filled STR8 and termed M/K, but Krycek's appearance was noteworthy by its brevity while the M/Sk was overt and ever present <sigh>. If that doesn't bother you, then it is a good read.
  • Louise Wu, Chemistry and Echo Lane. Wonderful.
  • Satina writes very hot M/K stories. I particularly like A Rose by any other name. While you're there, check out the rest of her stories and enjoy.
  • The Same Everywhere  by Jane Mortimer gets my vote for most enjoyable use of an alien in an M/K story! The sequel The Hand We Were Dealt is bittersweet.
  • Sleeps with Coyotes writes sublime M/K, try Breathless and its sequel Solidarity and believe that these two men could love each other despite the mistrust. Then go to the Mad Dogs Trilogy and see mad, bad, dangerous and tortured Krycek redeemed by Mulder's love for him. Also try Responsibility with a great use of Samantha Mulder.
  • The Mummy by Czara and Megaera taps into my love of Egyptology, and Daniel Jackson from Stargate. Here though, Mulder is the archaeologist and Krycek his 'ancient' lover. It is full of purple prose and far too many 'beautiful man, pretty man etc., so I suppose it's yet another guilty pleasure. :-)
  • Wedding of the Year by Ruthless and Relentless is howlingly funny.
  • Tiramisu & Kamio's X-Files story Seconds gives an alternative view of X-files eight season. Fascinating, and lovely M/K interaction.
  • The Rape by moco is a very clever, dark, bleak and brutal with no happy ending, but it succeeds in somehow connecting Mulder and Krycek, and in making them understand a little more about themselves and each other.
  • Aporia  by Kest is different. She describes it as a Millennium story with UST but no RST! 
  • Driving Alex Crazy by Sebastian and Dr Ruthless with assistance from Niffusa and Shadowfox. I love this, a lesson in not teasing a 'psychopathically jealous' lover beyond a certain point. Dr Ruthless' other stories are well worth a look through
  • The Long and Winding Road  by Kassandra is one of those rare things, a male pregnancy/baby fic that is good, and believable within the context of the X-Files universe. Part 2 and Missing scene. Her web site has vanished, I can't find this on any archive, so the link is via the Way Back Archive.
  • Jake and Fox join the club by Windsinger. This is a mix of MSR, slash and het. I think its appeal to me is the Mulder Windsinger depicts. Deeply traumatised by what he is going through, but oh so Mulder like in many ways. Fascinating, and I have always been partially to Mulder being the object of a number of people's fantasies. This has has some very dark moments briefly described and seldom depicted other than in Mulder's deep pain and revulsion to them. It is a very cleverly written and compelling story. And because, too my frustration, it is not linked here are the links to each part! Part 2, Part 3 Part 4
  • Touch My Mind by Jami Wilsen is beautiful. I've just rediscovered it and wallowed in the sheer pleasure of glorious M/K. Mulder has left Scully, the baby and the FBI and hidden himself away in Nova Scotia. Krycek, determined to make his peace with Mulder, finds him. After a great deal of pain, bitterness and angst they begin to understand and forgive each other. The characterisation is wonderful for both men, and I can't recommend this story enough. Read it, and forget the miseries of Season 8 and 9. In fact read all of her M/K stories, particularly Hope. Something totally different from her normal style is Too late for sorry  and its sequel Two Princes one crown a fun - and highly unlikely :-) - fantasy AU set in the middle ages. Sadly Jami has retired from the fandom and has taken down her website. Fortunately she has a page on TERMA, so run and read the rest of Jami's stories or check out the Basement under authorsJ.
  • The Traveller by Raietta. This makes me cry it is so beautiful and sad.
  • The Tapestry Series  by Amirin is a the story of a long, slow and wonderful seduction of Mulder by Krycek. Scully's dead, and Mulder is suicidal. Krycek makes it his mission to save him.
  • In a Dark Time by A. Leigh-Anne Childe is a superb piece of writing. Based in Season two when Alex Krycek appears on the scene. Blistering M/K interaction, a truly wonderful Mulder, and an Alex Krycek who struggles not to fall for his mark.
  • Sleep and Tackle  by Zoe Takashi and Loren Q is a road trip fic. Loren normally writes evil Krycek, not that I mind, but she tends to have him debase Mulder in some way, which I DO mind. This doesn't happen in this fic, and I enjoy the way they develop the relationship between the two of them.
  • Departure1  Departure2  Departure2.5 Homecoming  by Imajiru is almost a four part PWP, but really it is much more than that. Or it was, her web site has vanished and I can only find three parts! Yipppe, I've found Departure3 at the Lisa E Krysa award site!  It starts off as a very heavy confrontation between Mulder and Krycek, with Krycek having the upper hand. The slow cessation of hostilities between them makes for an intriguing read, and the eventual discovery of the relationship by Scully renders it gripping. I really enjoyed all four parts, but Departure3 is absolutely fantastic. It's as romantic as hell, sexy as hell, angsty as hell, shows Scully in a wonderful light yet manages to remain just short of being too sugary for consumption. A wonderful series. Go and read Quicksand  as well.
  • The Poetic Series by Scribe. Each story  is based around a poem and follows the developing relationship of Fox Mulder and Alex Krycek, and is a pleasure to read. Mission: Jaws of the Jaguar is a X-Files/Mission Impossible xover linking Ethan Hunt with Mulder. Somehow it works, and works quite well.
  • C. M. Decarnin  has written a M/K ghost story that has a real high feel good factor. It is in four parts, Hallow, Seconds, Glow and Wanted. She's also written A Boy and his Rat, which is in 16 unlinked parts! Go to her page to get all the links. It's a fascinating story, but terribly angsty and violent in parts. In many ways I like the Krycek she draws, although it is her Mulder that I am drawn to the most.
  • Extreme Measures  by Sagittarius325 is interesting. The Consortium decide to destroy Mulder by removing his memories. They then give him into the keeping of someone who has obsessed over him for years. How 'Fox', as opposed to Mulder, copes with his lack of memory and apparent status as a very much desired and wanted 'possession' makes for fascinating reading. Krycek appears midway, and I very much enjoyed his reaction to 'Fox' and his thoughts on what it is about the complete Fox Mulder that makes him so desirable. This is in ten, unlinked, parts. To make it easier to read, here are the rest. Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten
  • The Quality of Mercy  by Mairead Triste is, in the author's own words, 'An exceedingly warped love story, in a sorta-kinda way'. Warped it is, ratboy is evil and obsessed with Mulder, yet, despite the sheer 'brutality' of the piece, listening in on Krycek's thought processes is a bizarre and often humorous experience. 
  • The End of the Cold War by Kadru. A long, slow  and finally romantic piece. Krycek comes in from the cold.
  • Forgetful  by KMS. Mulder is mind wiped. Krycek is of course involved, CSM is to blame, and Scully is searching desperately for him. A fascinating story that ends how it had to end, but nevertheless makes me want to weep (not in anyone's death I hasten to add).
  • Anonymity  by Lush Virtues has Krycek trying a very different way of getting Mulder to want him. I don't quite know why I like this piece, but I just do.
  • Tight Squeeze by Flutesong is a look at Mulder and Krycek from another agent's perspective and is very different. I like her writing, she uses a variety of styles, some more successfully than others, and her writing is intense and deep. 
  • Wind River by  Cathleen Faye. A serial killer, a small town with secrets, and sexual cravings. This is a Mulder/other, and is the author's only slash fic, she normally writes MSR. It's good, but the size of the type at her web site is minute so go for the text version.
  • Hijack by Draig. Mulder's life is threatened, and his lover reacts very badly, and very effectively, to counteract the threat.
  • Sure, Fine, Whatever by Frankie, Niffusa and Dr Ruthless. Fox and Alex go for couples counselling! Very funny a great deal of the time.
  • Out of the Darkness - Love and Hate by Lexi Krycek.A very different M/K with a very good Scully involvement. I've never been too fond of stories that imply that Krycek was abused and used from childhood by the consortium, but this one is different. The wonderful love between Fox and Alex is beautiful to read, especially since we see it through Scully's disbelieving eyes. The only irritation, the main story is split into three sections and each one abruptly ends with no link so you have to go back to the index and click on the next part!
  • A dark and stormy night by Imp and it's follow ups A grey and misty morning, A shadow in the sunshine and A calm before the storm cover every emotion possible. A bitter sweet quartet, but good.
  • The Closure Mantra by Shannon Kizzia is a Mulder and Scully friendship piece and of course M/K as well, but just read how it happens! Shannon writes MSR, M/Sc/K and M/K ( her favourite I think). The M/K is hot, and while I'm not a real fan of threesomes, so are they. All stories are here
  • All Right by Flutesong is more than All Right, it is magic. A story all seen from Krycek's POV as he goes to Mulder to give him information and the gift of his death. Not a death fic, and well worth a read.
  • Falling into His Eyes: The Rescue by Kinkygrrl has Krycek rescuing Mulder from torture to find out exactly what he knows, but finds himself acting against his own interests.
  • World's Child by Xanthe is a post colonisation story that has won numerous awards. It is subtle M/Sk, but don't let that put you off. The story is written from William, Mulder and Scully's son, POV and is, quite honestly, superb story telling.
  • Signing Bonus by Sub Rosa is cruel, but compelling. It won the Silver Sutures 2003 best M/K slash award, and remember the Silver Sutures are issued by Mulder in Jeopardy, a hurt/comfort archive.
  • Zaghruda by CazQ. Wow, angsty, post colonisation M/K with Scully very much in both men's minds. Hard hitting, painful and well written. 
  • Shock the Monkey  by Kassandra has Krycek coming back home to die and to give Mulder sufficient information to bring down the consortium. Suffice it to say he doesn't die. This is written as a diary, and is surprisingly funny at times. I love this sentence. 'Get him to trust you, they told me, and even now I have to wonder what the fuck they were smoking besides Morleys.' It sums up the feel of the whole piece. NB: If you have trouble with the Wayback archive, Goassamer have all her stories here
  • Haunted by Marcia Elena is a very different type of ghost story, and damn clever. I love the covers to her stories as well. She writes all M/K, and although most tends to be angsty, there is also humorous - Grouchings of a Grognard G-man  plus the sharp and painful including immensely sad ones like Amaranthine a post colonisation story.
  • Photographic memory by Morgan Peterson is a M/K with a difference. Part flashback, part present, it's an intriguing story with a nice little twist.
  • The Animal I Wanted by ladyluck is a long, angsty, but wonderful read. It twists and turns along the way in numerous directions, and occasionally had me tearing up, then next laughing or wincing. Ultimately satisfying and tender, this is well worth the investment of time required to read it. 
  • Future winnings by Ecolea gen. There are five stories in this XF/ST Voyager crossover where Mulder is found by the crew in cryogenic sleep (hence the ability to deal with the huge time difference between these two shows). Now I'm not a Voyager fan, but this series is wonderfully Muldercentric , uses Mulder's profiling skills and is just fascinating. Read it. Linked to author's page, as Gossamer seems to change their links frequently.
  • Keiko Kirin has written three M/K stories, Road Trip, Strange Bliss and Waking up in Pittsburgh, sort of, but not quite linked. The link takes you to her main page as she requests. Roll past all the wonderful Stargate J/D stories and click on other fandoms.
  • Kill or Cure  1.Stroke of Luck, 2.Dogs of War and 3.Games of Kings by Hth. An interesting and fascinating tale of the elusive Krycek and his uncertain allegiances. What is for sure is that Krycek lusts after Mulder, even loves him, and Mulder reciprocates, but Krycek can't let Mulder trust him or get involved with him. This twists and turns all over the place.
  • Fantasy Man by Sugar Rush. Krycek takes a break on Fantasy Island and imagines what would have happened had he not betrayed Mulder. This is almost a 'be careful what you wish' for type of story, but Krycek gets a second chance.
  • One Night by Anne Zo is a Krycek surprises Mulder in a dark alley type story. Actually, Mulder surprises Krycek, but the tables are turned. There are certainly issues of consent. Krycek sets out to seduce and does so, in his own inimitable manner.  I also enjoyed her Blue Series starting with A Blue Sea, Once in Blue Waters,  Under a Blue Light, A Long Blue Night and Blue Sky.
  • Loyalties by Brenda Antrim writing as Glacis is an oldie but goodie. It's a Stargate/X-Files crossover that manages to merge the two, very different, mythologies reasonably well and provide a good story in doing so. I read it initially for it's Stargate content, but was fascinated by the Mulder and Krycek Brenda presented. I'd always loved Mulder, but it was this story that made me see the Mulder/Krycek dynamic. Stealing a moment is a X-Files/Once a Thief crossover. I know nothing about OaT, but I loved what this says about Mulder's fascination with Krycek and vice a versa. I first read Spalniy vagon (Sleeper) in the zine Double Exposure. It's clever, fascinating and well written with Brenda's typical pared to the bone description that some how provides everything you need to know. Homecoming I read in the zine eXposure and enjoyed.
  • Almost the real thing by Ruthless is a bittersweet first time in the early more 'innocent' days of the Mulder/Krycek partnership.
  • In New Years Eve,1990 by Yanthee, Mulder and Krycek meet for the first time, an interesting and alternative view of these two men.
  • The Tale of One Bad Rat by Mort. A witty and interesting post colonisation tale from Krycek's pov.
  • Approaching Concinnity by Verily is a pre colonization story that splits from canon right after Mulder gets exhumed. Mulder and Krycek begin to fight the future, with a little help from a few friends. This is a long, six part fairly angsty story and is an excellent read. Irritatingly there is no link to each part so just add a 2 in the web addy to get part two etc. Twelve months in Arizona is the follow up.
  • Mort's been writing prolifically, and after recently recommending The Tale of One Bad Rat I'm now recommending Erase and Rewind, a back to the future type story that replays the episode Sleepless, and Dragon Dreams (via the Wayback archive) or here an AU fantasy and so unlike Mort's normal style, which is often very dark and bleak, that I had to double check the author! This is written in a world that readers of certain Dragon orientated universe will recognise immediately. 
  • Secret by Kitty Fisher. This appears to be the only X-File story Kitty's written. It's dark and bleak, like many of her The Professionals stories, violent and non consensual at first, but she takes Mulder and Krycek beyond that to a kind of strange understanding. Different, and worth a read if you can cope with the above.
  • Game set and match by Teand has Mulder and Krycek starting again, possibly. Nicely done 'relationship' story.
  • Almost the real thing by Rushlight is a second season Mulder and Krycek making love, with Krycek trying, but failing, not to get too involved or care for Mulder and knowing that both are going to pay for this moment. Descent is a brief encounter between the pair of them that leaves Krycek thinking over better times and wondering if Mulder will ever forgive him his betrayal of trust.
  • The_Unrecognised_X-file by Sebastain is, of all things, a Mary Poppins/X-Files crossover, and it works! We also have the pleasure of Mulder and Krycek, although I admit to find the sex scenes the least convincing aspect of this story, or perhaps it's the language and sentiment expressed in the scenes that I don't quite buy. Nevertheless I found it a very delightful and often funny read, mainly I think because the whole thing is written in a 'serious' and highly clever manner.
  • Alley Trap by AnneZo  finds our 'heroes' trapped in an alley and predictably fighting. Read it to see how Krycek manages to link sex, Mulder and a bowl of crushed blueberries. :-) The sequel is Blueberry Season
  • Barefoot by Meri Lomelindi finds Mulder and Krycek stuck and sniping at each other as some acidic ooze threatens to dissolve them. Romance, of course, ensues!
  • Indignant Desert Birds by Wirrrn. Hiding from everyone, Scully included, Mulder's taken refuge in the Antarctica working on a base checking out the scientists. He may have eluded Scully et al, but he seems not to have eluded someone he thought dead. A fascinating M/K tale that is strange, witty, different and very sexy. I loved all the seal factoids.
  • The Spy who came down with a cold  (wayback archive) by Jane Symons is funny, clever and, following in the steps of the series, bizarre and puzzling.
  • Scars by Griva consists of three parts Scars, Dependency, Healing and a prequel Ab Initio. It's a fascinating and very well written exploration of Mulder and Krycek's relationship post Requiem from Krycek's POV
  • Perfect partners by Megaera, a terrorist released a virus that changes human DNA and binds Mulder and Krycek closer than handcuffs is a story that could have done with a sequel, but isn't going to get one!
  • Rooms by Siberian Skys is a very enjoyable 'what if?'.
  • The Adversary by Xanthe. This is one of those stories that you don't so much enjoy as survive! Much of it is gut wrenching and bleak as hell, it is also M/Sk which, as a M/K aficionado, I am not in anyway fond of. It does have a smidgeon of M/K, and it is true to say that the story works best as it is, but you don't read it for the M/Sk, what you read it for is the superb description and characterisation of Mulder as he faces one of the nastiest, most manipulative and twisted opponents he has ever encountered. How Mulder copes and survives with his mind intact - with a little help from our favourite Rat Bastard - is an emotional and extreme story. Read the warnings. It certainly won't be to everyone's tastes, but the story telling here is second to none. I really wish Xanthe wrote M/K.
  • In the dead of winter by Jane Lumley is a Mulder at Oxford story. It's Mulder/ofc and it also has Inspector Morse in it, so you could say it is a crossover. What is fascinating is not so much Mulder's relationship with this beautiful older woman, who also happens to be his tutor, but the suggestions that Jane Lumley makes for why Mulder is how he is.
  • Dear Mr Mulder by Wombat is just plain funny. An amusing look at Mulder's life from the perspective of one of the tenants in his apartment block.
  • Soul kiss by Griva is a lovely little drabble. and here is her site with the the gorgeous 'front cover'.
  • Folie by Ursula is a story written from a challenge. It's clever, different and works very well.
  • Surprise Surprise by Flutesong. Mulder and Krycek have more in common than they know. Another of Flutesong's beautifully written pieces.
  • Enemy Friend by Ladonna King is an AU of Season 6, Krycek free, episode Triangle. I mentioned on the mulder_krycek_velocity list that I'd like to see "Krycek in Nazi uniform 'interrogating' Mulder... " and Griva directed me to this story!
  • Cupidity by Ratadder is a bit of fluff, and fun with it.
  • A Helping Hand by Sagittarius is a clever little WIP that avoids being clichéd and obvious.
  • Inca Gold by Spike. Kinky and funny!
  • Guardian by Sugar Rush. A fascinating start that settles down into a tale of betrayal and deception, but manages a slightly 'shaky' romance as well.
  • The Gift of an Enemy  by Sylvia I have as a zine, but it's also on her web site with the front cover. Well worth a read, and great development of the Mulder/Krycek relationship.
  • It's probably me by David S. "You're not going to...kiss me again, are you?" I finally say, breaking the silence. "You've got a one track mind, Mulder," he says, getting off me. And the dialogue gets more delicious and the action interesting as this delightful story goes along.
  • Affirmations by Viridian is just delicious, violence, passion and sex in one explosive story. Do read the full list of The Affirmations for Personal Growth. Hysterical.
  • Lazarus and the Bogeyman by Kelly Keil. Being with him was like trying to date a shark. Bloody and painful and exhilarating  Twisted, furious, violent, sexy. M/K through the series.
  • To Us by Candace. This is a fascinating and original look at Mulder and Krycek becoming true working partners and overcoming immense difficulties to combat CSM's devious plans. It is pre slash and the true affection and then love that develops between Mulder and, a very different, Krycek is a real pleasure to read..
  • Seconds by Tiramisu. What really happened during the eighth season! An intriguing read.
  • Shades of Grey by Ladyluck. The exchange of information becomes more regular and the meals longer as Mulder and Krycek finally work out what they want from each other.
  • Watched by L C Sulla. I recently reread this and remembered thinking the first time that this was rather clever.
  • Fragments in Red and Black. by crimsonsenya. Six vignettes inspired by a M/K blend called Hold On by Griva. Hard hitting, angsty and painful, but very well written.
  • The Alex Krycek Affair by Rose Campion is an AU inspired by the film the The Thomas Crown Affair with. Alex Krycek as the venture capitalist and gentleman art thief, Fox Mulder as the hotshot insurance investigator and John Doggett as the tough talking NYPD detective.  I've not seen the film, but this is a highly enjoyable AU M/K story.
  • Elliptical Orbits by Flutesong is fascinating first time for Mulder and Krycek. It is a first menacing ,then develops into something almost romantic.
  • Undone by Mik is a brief look inside the M/K relationship.
  • In Deep by Sagittarius. An possible meet up during the episode Deep Throat, and my favourite kind of Rat, the manipulative one who gets his Mulder, in one way or another. *g
  • Christmas 2005 Zine has a number of enjoyable M/K stories in it. It is Krycekcentric, so  it also has S/K, but as I don't read the pairing I can't say what they are like. Even as a Muldercentric reader, I didn't find the focus too heavily Krycek orientated and enjoyed all the M/K stories to varying degrees. My favourite was Missing Pieces by Courtney Grey.
  • If It Ain't Brokeback, Don't Fix It by Goddess Michele is a kind of spoiler, but not, of the film. It's angsty and sad, but it seems so very in character for Mulder to be like this.
  • Things to do in Denver and its sequel Tasting Colorado by moco are good 'clean' M/K fun. type of stories *g*
  • Universe Number Five by Dephile is long, angsty,  intriguing, rewarding and well worth a read. A scientist approaches Mulder with the potential to go into alternate universes and Mulder can't resist, but he hadn't really thought through the consequences. Krycek, meanwhile, wants to save Mulder from himself, never mind anything else!
  • Missing Pieces by Courtney Gray. An alternate life after the Secret War. A thoroughly enjoyable, romantic, feel good story.
  • Bittersweet by gonattsaga. Alex tries to cope with a new situation. A season 2 M/K as seen through Krycek's eyes. Nicely done and intriguing with the knowledge of Krycek's ultimate betrayal of Mulder making this contemplation, as the title says, bittersweet.
  • Star Gazing by Flutesong Adventures and a hard won relationship An enjoyable coming together of Mulder and Krycek while fighting the the end of the Consortium and the end of the threat to humanity. This is very much told to us with an almost omnipresence pov, yet works well.
  • Nowhere Man by Flutesong Inspired by JIM's Houseboat Variations  If I remember correctly, the rules were that it had to at least 5 years after it all ended and take place on a houseboat. Lovely lyrical piece.
  • Egg and its sequel The Goddess of Small Things by Deborah are both fantasy AUs, bizarre, funny, occasionally angsty and almost possible to believe happening in the strange universe called the X-Files
  • Pawns and Players by L C Fenster A very good post ep story that reads well and feels right. Krycek feels spot on, manipulative and ruthless, but ultimately on the right side and Mulder is his usual intelligent, but angry self when Krycek comes on the scene. The edge to their relationship is delightful to watch and the author leaves enough open to allow us to believe that despite all that has gone before, one day these two men might find common enough ground to stop the fighting and learn to trust and ultimately even love each other.
  • Conventional Thinking by Flutesong A half a loaf is better than none An intriguing glimpse of periods in Mulder and Krycek's lives when they meet up to exchange information and to have sex. The slow change in their relationship from sexual desire to something approaching love and respect is beautiful to read.
  • Changes by Courtney Grey The only constant is change. An AU Holiday story with UST and the promise of RST. Beautifully written view of the M/K relationship from Krycek's pov.
  • Impossible by Courtney Grey or here What if you slept? And what if, In your sleep You dreamed? A beautiful what if story.
    Stay by RhymePhile Set right after the movie, Fight the Future. Mulder and Krycek work it out, in their own inimitable style
  • Old Habits Die Hard by Flutesong A Partnership is born A very enjoyable view of Mulder invading Krycek's life when Krycek had all but given up and resigned himself to a half life.
  • Demon Poetry by Sugar Rush Basically, what if Mulder and Krycek had met when Mulder was still at Oxford?? So they're still our favorite gorgeous guys, only...younger, juicier, and in Mulder's case, a lot more innocent... Highly enjoyable.
  • Sufficiency by Flutesong Adventures and a hard won relationship A highly enjoyable M/K post colonisation fic with a twist.
  • History by Sage Fyre I wanted to write a story where Agent Mulder and Agent Krycek were lovers, but every episode/interaction between them thereafter stays true to canon (up until a certain point when it will have to take its own course.) An interesting depiction of Mulder and Krycek's relationship through the series. WIP
  • The Rapture by Wombat A very long and very intriguing X-files/Highlander crossover with Mulder/Methos as the main pairing, but a lot else going on as well, plus Ratboy makes a very enjoyable appearance.
  • Split Second Decision by Flutesong Adventures and a hard won relationships I think I've recc'd almost everyone of Flutesong's beautifully written stories and this one is yet another pleasure to read, plus it's really hot! *g*
  • Unrequited by Alea Rose Mulder feels broken and useless after his resurrection. Can Krycek revive his quest a second time? Angsty story that develops very enjoyably.
  • Russian Roulette by extraonions Post colonisation fic. Sparse tense prose with a clever ending, and hope.
  • Facts Not In Evidence by Flutesong Adventures and a hard won relationship - plot, plot and more plot, then sex Another beautifully written and enjoyable story by Flutesong. What would we M/K lovers do without her?
  • And A Child Shall Lead by Courtney Grey First posted to the "Alex Krycek's 12 Days of Xmas" online zine. Poignant and slightly melancholic story, but with a side of hope for the future in the wings
  • Paranoid by Alea Rose Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't really out to get you. Long involved and intriguing story. I found the constant misunderstanding and angst a little heavy and Krycek seemed just too wonderful to be true at times, but the ending was worth the heavy Krycek worship (I maybe a Mulder fangurrl, but heavy Mulder worship makes me squirm as well). :-).
  • The Waking by Sleeps With Coyotes Alex learns a few things while Mulder's away Interesting and enjoyable with nice use of the Lone Gunmen.
  • Good People  by Cherusha an X-Files/Torchwood crossover. Mulder meets the the 'Little Black Dress' of Torchwood fame. Fun and silly.
  • By my side by Shannon Kizzia It's the end. Mulder and Krycek partner up once again to fight it together. Pre/Post colonisation story that develops slowly and then runs with an exciting plot and a lot of tension plus some wonderful M/K interaction.
  • Vermin by Isagel Heroes/X-Files If you climb down into the sewers, be prepared to meet the rats. This WIP is fascinating with wonderful characterisation. The pairings are M/K, of course, and Sylar/Mohinder
  • Kiss Your Past Goodnight by andrea deer Fluff. Some swearing. Fluff. Regression hypnosis. Past lives, karma and other things like that. A very original and intriguing take on the M/K relationship (through time!)
  • Let Them Have It How They Will by Flutesong The usual good writing and long, involved and fascinating story with a wonderfully described developing relationship between Mulder and Krycek.
