Last Train to Clarksville by JiM, NC-17
Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: Skinner/Mulder
Author on LJ: N/A
Author's Website: JiM's Fiction Page
Why this must be read: I'm sure many a fandom and pairing has had this cliche of a scenario written. Two people with a combative relationship. Locked/trapped in a room/location. One gets weak/cold, so the other has to take care of him. Sex ensues. The End.
I've seen this done so many times but not as expertly as JiM does. And true, it's a PWP, and in fact, the writer more than adequately offers us a sizzling serving of Skinner/Mulder slash. But in my opinion, what makes this transcend your usual cliche fic is that it is infused with a soft, gentle undercurrent of sweetness and romance. It is also charmingly funny as Mulder's quirky humor can sometimes be.
Mulder’s head was somehow now held firmly beneath Skinner’s chin. When Skinner flexed his neck, trying to work the kinks out of it, his cheek came back automatically to rest against Mulder’s hair. A very slight motion and Skinner’s lips brushed across Mulder’s forehead.
He was bemused. How good it felt to touch someone gently, no pressure, no expectations. Just to sit here in the dark, and give some friendly kisses to someone who seemed as lost and lonely as he was, comforted a small, frozen part of himself. So long since he had been able to be kind to someone like this. He pressed his lips against Mulder’s cool forehead again, this time leaving his mouth there, nuzzling lightly.
