Review:
For super! epics week I picked one of my favourite stories by Xanthe and the first "real" bdsm relationship fanfiction I read. Often people use the trope of slavery to have one character force the other to submit and feature them in various situations where the submissive person is whipped, caned, flogged, tied up etc. At least that was the experience I had had before I came across Xanthe's super! epic X-Files fanfiction.

First off, I am not a fan of the X-Files. All in all I've seen so far about 3-5 episodes and I'm not impressed with the show all that much. But, for some reason, the premiss of the story captivated me and I read the story without actually knowing most of the characters. For me it was almost like reading incredibly well-written original slash.

My lack of knowledge of the characters and plots of the TV show were no problem at all while reading the fanfiction and the captivating portrayal of the relationship and the shift in the relationship between Mulder and Skinner had me reading the whole novel without a pause.

It is by far one of my favourite bdsm feauturing stories and even though I have recced this genre a couple of times (and a lot of great stories), I have reserved a special place in my heart for this piece of fanfiction that got me started on that road. ;)
