Why this must be read:

A very special thanks to maidenjedi for help with this recommendation. I don’t usually read stories that don’t heavily feature Mulder and Scully, so I had to ask for help in tracking this one down.

Ask anyone about the X-Files most people can identify Mulder and Scully. Like all tv shows though, the X-Files offers an incredible list of “also starring” characters that received quite a bit of development. But, thanks to fanfiction we get to see more!

This is a back story written about Alex Krycek (“ratboy” to fans) and Marita Covarrubias, who worked for the UN and served as an informant to Mulder during the early seasons of the show.

I truly enjoyed the back story it offered, the history between these two characters, and then their individual histories even back to Russia for Krycek. I will admit that this story did not follow a character development I would’ve chosen for these two (I enjoy Krycek’s evil ambiguity and Marita’s cold self-interest too much to ever ruin it with warm fuzzy feelings) but I loved this little peek into some lives that weren’t explored on the show (oh, and let’s throw Spender a little love here!).

To those of you who are like me, give this story a shot, it’s well written and a offers a good story up for you addicts. For those of you who don’t read primarily Mulder and Scully X-Files fic, here’s a little love and many thanks to you and Desla for ensuring our fandom is not one-dimensional.
