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.
Excerpt:
"Caitlin, this is Fox, our newest guest." Hoffman smiled at him.
"I'll leave you two to get acquainted, shall I?" He went to the door,
paused as if to say something, then went out, pulling the door closed.
Caitlin was tall, nearly as tall as he was. Long limbed, slender, but
well muscled. Long blonde hair bound up in a chignon, his mother
used to call it. Red lips, eyes the same color as the sea outside,
angular face. Not pretty, but striking. She smiled at him coolly.
"While you are our guest, you will address me as Mistress. And I will
call you Fox. Sit down, Fox, and we'll go over the rules first, then
we'll begin."
He was almost painfully erect at once. Heart hammering, hands sweating,
and aroused beyond belief. His knees felt wobbly, sinking into the
armchair was a relief.
"The first rule, you will not speak to me unless I've addressed you.
Otherwise, I expect complete obedience in silence." The warmth of her
smile made it seem ridiculous. But he nodded anyway.
"The second rule breaks the first." That smile warmed further. "If
you need to use the safe word, use it at any time. This is about
pleasure for you, not causing harm. Your safe word is mercy, Fox.
If something hurts too badly, or goes too far, pushes you too hard,
use the safe word. Even if I haven't spoken to you first." Another
smile. "The only other thing you need to remember, is that I am your
Mistress, and you are my slave. Now take off your clothes."
I rate this fic: Pretty Damn Good
