Krycek is the little black dress of fanfic -- he'll
take you anywhere in
style. -- Halrloprillar
And really, that's what it boils down to. All sorts of
characters can
be crossed over into other fandoms -- that whole recurring
vs. regular
thing can be a Godsend to those of us who like fucking
with canon even
more than usual -- but, well, Alex Krycek is more than
that.
The X-Files itself is a show *made* for crossovers. Got
an
sf/fantasy/horror thing going on in your small, creepy
town? Send
Mulder and Scully. Maybe Skinner. And, hey, Krycek's
probably already
there, screwing with things. Because it's his *job*.
He travels around
making with the naughty for reasons either incoherent
or
unfathomable.
But I think we can agree that, for the most part, it's
not the
character's fault.
*koff* Chris Carter's on crack *koff*
Oh, and while we're at it, what's with the new Krycek
every time we
see him? From Skippy to half-starved Rentboy to brutal
Russian
General to cold Operative to however else he's shown
up, there are
about a million ways to present him that can *all* be
made to fit into
canon. Some canon. Whichever canon it is this week.
And he's also really fucking hot.
So we cross him, and we get him laid maybe, and we put
it all down on
the page for you, dear surfer, to read.
So go do it! And tell us what you think.
Or I'll have to kill you. Slowly.
