Notes: Mulder is going over the deep end. Trouble at work,
trouble with his partner who seems to be slipping away from him more
every day. He needs a break - a way to escape the inside of his
own head for a while. When Frohike sets him up for the vacation
of his life at a sexual Fantasy Island, he thinks he may have just
found the way to make it work. But instead he finds himself
getting sucked further and further into a lifestyle he can't keep up
with and still maintain his sanity. When things take a turn
into danger, he ends up relying on Skinner, of all people, to help him
sort out the mess his life has become, and find a way to separate
himself from the obsessions that attract him, and could lead to his
death.
This is a novel length fic, and I got so absorbed into it, that I
finished it, and immediately turned around and read it again. The
characters were believeable, and well written - especially the original
characters, even the villians, and I'll be damned if there isn't one
hell of a lot of very erotic sex in this fic, too. But be aware,
most of the sex has some elements of D/s, bondage or other BDSM
practices, although most of it goes no further than tethers and
blindfolds. However there is enough that goes past that to warn
you about it. And there's a fair amount of questional consent
issues, as well.
So you know...this is the fic that got me going in the X-Files
Fandom. I'd watched the show off and on, nothing much, but the
fic I'd read all featured Krycek, and although I liked him, I didn't
really get the Mulder/Krycek vibe. Well, I found the vibe that
does work...Skinner/Mulder and throwing in some Dom/sub issues will
cinch the deal for me pretty much every time. And it's all
Kassandra's fault.
