24/7 by Xanthe (NC-17)
Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder / Skinner
Author on LJ: Xanthefic
Author Website: Xanthe.org
Why this must be read:
This story will be my last X-Files rec, and of course I wanted to save the best for last! 24/7 is a serious BDSM story, using the exchange of power and control in the best possible way for fiction – for a deep psychological exploration of the two characters. Mulder is lost, spinning out of control, and as a final attempt to ground himself, he gives complete control of himself to an unknown master. Little does he dream how this masterful top will change his life!
The story, in 26 parts and several interludes, is deliciously long and involved. All of Xanthe’s writing is well worth reading, but this series is one of my favorites (and obviously one of hers, as well!). Mulder’s struggles, attempts to comply, and unavoidable failures are delicately drawn, as is the deepening understanding of what both Mulder, and Skinner, need out of their relationship. The cast of original secondary characters is interesting and fills out the story, especially Wanda the cat.
This may not be the story for those easily squicked by explicit scenes of bondage, but everything is safe and consensual, and individual parts have warnings where necessary. For those curious about a full-time BDSM lifestyle (the 24/7 of the title refers to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week), or even just the details of a safe, loving master-slave relationship, this is a great story to read. And the scorching hot sex doesn’t detract one bit from the learning experience!
