Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n This story was born sometime around Christmas 1995 as the result of a chance remark on a GEnie discussion group. Several of us were writers and fans of Mulder\/Krycek; I believe it was Jane Mortimer who commented that she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to see what would happen if my Krycek, who tends to be of the Well-meaning Innocent Who Got in Over His Head variety, met up with another writer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Dark and Dangerous Krycek. The other writer replied that her Krycek would most likely look mine over and say something like, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re an X-File. You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want me, you want Mulder.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d But she had no idea how mine would respond to this, so she could go no further.<\/p>\n So I wrote this:<\/p>\n He favored his rough silk and soft leather other self with his best cocky grin. The one he tormented Mulder with, knowing it would get him into trouble. Hoping it would get him into trouble. Knowing that this man would know exactly what he meant by it\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand that his<\/em> kind of trouble would put Mulder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s to shame.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Of course I do. So do you. What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the difference? It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just masturbation, anyway.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n and emailed it to her, saying \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Now over to you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And she emailed me back with a few more paragraphs, and the rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n The novel (and it was months and many thousands of words later before we came to realize that we were actually writing a novel, with a plot and everything) continued to grow over the following months and years. We emailed each other new scenes and had extensive discussions about our respective Kryceks. There were several cross-country visits in which we sat together with our laptops and handed scenes back and forth on floppy disks, and my co-writer took me on walks through her Krycek\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s neighborhood.<\/p>\n Created as it was through a kind of spontaneous combustion, with no real planning, and sprawling out over several years with occasional lulls of weeks or months as other matters took over our lives, the story was naturally subject to the occasional diversion and plot tangent. We have attempted in this final version to smooth over the rough spots, fill in the blanks, and correct the continuity variations as much as possible, but have left the overall structure pretty much as it happened.<\/p>\n The Alex of this story is a slight variation on the Krycek of my earlier Mulder\/Krycek novel, Il Traviato<\/em>. In fact, this story may be considered an AU or alternate ending of that novel, beginning where Il Traviato<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Act Two ends, and diverging from there.<\/p>\n We would like to offer many thanks to Jane Mortimer, not only for the initial spark that ignited this novel\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s beginning, but also for providing early comment and much encouragement, and one deliciously hot scene to grace the pages of our novel. We are very grateful for her generosity and enthusiasm for our story.<\/p>\n Cody * * *<\/p>\n Alex Through the Looking Glass: Day One<\/a><\/p>\n Alex Through the Looking Glass: Day Two<\/a><\/p>\n Alex Through the Looking Glass: Day Three<\/a><\/p>\n Alex Through the Looking Glass: Day Four<\/a><\/p>\n Alex Through the Looking Glass: Day Five<\/a><\/p>\n Alex Through the Looking Glass: Day Six<\/a><\/p>\n Alex Through the Looking Glass: Day Seven<\/a><\/p>\n Alex Through the Looking Glass: Day Eight<\/a><\/p>\n
