Why this must be read:
Welcome to the jungle!
Zen&nancy know better than most how to deliver the twisted and the kinky, the dirty and the simply fucked up, and I couldn't resist bending the crack_van rules just a little in order to rec their most striking work. Technically, The Heroin Series is a work in progress, since more parts were planned and there is a vague plotline that has not been resolved. But it is also clear that since it has been years since this story was updated, it will probably never be completely finished. It will have to be considered as it stands, or not at all. In my opinion, the first parts are just as moving and terrifying and perversely hot whether you ever find out what will become of Alex in the end or not. But if you really don't like loose ends in a fic, don't say I didn't warn you. ;)
Actually, The Heroin Series is a story that comes with a lot of warnings, and rightly so. From drug use to rape, the dark underbelly of existence is depicted in graphic detail, and nothing is shied away from. The unflinching grittiness of this fic is what makes it so remarkable. When a heroin addicted Krycek finds his world invaded by a Mulder high on rage and lust for his sworn enemy, the results are not pretty, though, in spite of everything, they turn out to be unexpectedly romantic. Love and hate, lust and violence, fear and comfort - they rarely come together as explosively as they do here. Pop Guns n' Roses' Appetite for Destruction in the cd player, and enjoy.
