Intoxicated by Diandra Hollman (Strong R)
Fandom: ALIAS/X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Vaughn
Author on LJ: Nope, I don't think so
Author Website: Yes, but it's a dead link. Agent Diandra
Why this must be read:
There is a real lack of Alias cross-over fic out there. (Trust me I Googled for it) Which surprises me because Alias seems like a show that would lend itself to cross-overs, especially with shows like the X-Files that have lots of little plot holes and open ended mytharc questions for fanfic writers to play around with.
What I like about this fic is that Diandra draws on the commonalities between Vaughn and Mulder, how their complex secret lives make relationships difficult. And throw in that they are both in love with their partners, a little too much alcohol and we have a recipe for drunken sex and morning after regrets. But it's all handled with a light touch and dead-on Mulder voice. (I actually got all nostalgic for my X-files fandom love) There are a few lines that made me giggle like:
"He was a pretty good-looking guy. From certain angles, his nose looked slightly too big for his face, but I'm probably one of the last people who should pass judgment on that issue. Of course, I really don't know much about what is and isn't attractive in a man. I *am* straight, despite the evidence to the contrary that was literally laying in front of me that morning.
At least I'm reasonably certain that I am."
Sexy, breezy and true to both fandoms, Intoxicated is a great example of how much fun a crossover can be.
