The Quality of Mercy by Mairead Triste (NC-17)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Krycek
Author on LJ: Not to my knowledge.
Author Webpage: Mairead Triste's stories at The House of Slack
Why this must be read:
For me, the hallmarks of M/K slash will always be twisted passion and a not-very-healthy blurring of the line between sex and violence, and the story I've chosen for my last rec this month is an excellent example of why these qualities make Mulder/Krycek such an unforgettable pairing.
Mairead Triste is, in all her fandoms and incarnations, a brilliant writer, and The Quality of Mercy makes one wish she had written more XF. A non-con PWP, where Alex forces himself on a perhaps not entirely unwilling Mulder, this story takes us inside Krycek's head and shows us what a dark, desperate place it is, while at the same time revealing the current of madness that runs in the blood of the man he is obsessed with. This is chilling, raw and unforgiving, and completely, devastatingly hot - in other words, everything that makes M/K what it is.
