Departure Novel by Imajiru (NC-17)

Pairing : Mulder/Krycek

Why this must be read:

This is another of those stories that I was truly amazed no one had rec'd before. It had been taken offline for a some time though, so it was somewhat understandable. This story is so damn good it hurts. It has been one of my favorite M/K stories since the first time I read it and remains so to this day. This story has it's romantic moments, but they are all tinged with a razor sharp edge.

In the first story the lines between Stockholm Syndrome, rape, consent, and passion are blurred so badly you can't even see them.

Krycek breaks and heals Mulder in turns during the course of these stories. Though he never really intends to hurt him it's almost unavoidable. It's not with pain or torture that he destroys him, but with love, desire, and passion. A love so strong it damn near kills them. A passion that remakes, rebuilds, and heals them both. Not to mention they get to save the world.

It's an amazing story that takes you on one hell of a wild ride through the darker sides of love and passion. I don't mean to scare anyone off though. I'll admit to being a wuss when it comes to physical torture, you won't find that here. All the pain stems from a love and desire you shouldn't want, but can't even begin to resist. This is a story no M/K fan should miss.

Gawd I love this story, it was something that grabbed me when I wasn't even that big a fan of the show, just the intensity and the immense emotional tide of it. Good rec!
