The fandom that was.
I'm still let down they didn't bring Alex back for the revival.




That kiss! I'd forgotten about The Kiss That Broke Fandom :DDD
Oh man. My first "wait is this canon?!"
It seems like there's a lot of tension there that could be resolved by one good, long tongue kiss and maybe a weekend in a mountain cabin with a hot tub and no internet.
Even as a teenager I noticed there was something just a bit off about Mulder always greeting Alex with a punch to the face. Like it was always zero to 60, and he always took such perverse pleasure in it, even though at the beginning Alex really hadn't done that much to earn it.
I may have totally written Alex as having maintained a mountain cabin as a safe house...
I love this vid, thanks so much for posting it. And yes you're so right, they should have found a way to have him show up in the revival.
Watching this is making me want to hit up the basement, or all_things_rat and reread some old favourites
My source was RatB, I think? The one that stuck with me the longest was BY FAR Wild Justice. That fic rewrote my headcanons for Alex and that's just who he is for me now. The fics I wrote last year assume it as his history.
I had to look through SO MANY fics on that site in order to find out which one I was remembering.
You know I've never looked on WWOMB for X-files fic, it's kind of weird, as I go there for other fandoms. Now I'm going to go searching there to see if there's any I haven't read, so ta for that link.
I do remember Wild Justice because of the way it turned a lot of the more popular tropes used in M/K fic on their heads, and gave a Krycek you don't see too often.
I really liked how it took all of Mulder's normally heroic traits and made them bad, and all of Alex's normally evil actions and gave them sympathetic context. Probably my first real dark!fic.
Me too. That would have weighted up some of what else was in the revival ... Thanks for the link!
If the Cigarette Smoking Man can come back from being hit by a missile, surely Alex can survive a shot to the head. 😝
