Why this must be read:
Three way collision! Of course Immortals are right up the X-Files alley - they're like a built in wet dream for both Mulder and Scully. I've seen a few crossovers between XF and HL, and have loved them. But when I first started reading HL, I remember thinking that there must be some crossovers with the Trek universe. I mean, they're Immortal, and eventually some of them are going to live long enough to venture out into space.
A bit of background for non-TNG fen: Time's Arrow (I & II), one of my favorite TNG episodes, takes the crew of the Enterprise back to late 19th century San Francisco. Where they discover Guinan, an El-Aurian who is studying Earth culture, who's also the hostess of Ten Forward back in the 24th century.
In this story, set during the late 1990s, Guinan is still on earth studying humans and their culture, and she's in Seacouver. Of course, the *only* spot to visit in Seacouver is Joe's bar, and she befriends both Duncan and Joe. Meanwhile, Scully brings Mulder a curious case involving a serial murderer who decapitates all his victims. The victims are found in pairs, and one of each pair has a distinctive and identical tattoo on their wrist. Our intrepid duo track the killer to the Pacific Northwest, and then the fun really starts.
The second half of the story brings Duncan and Guinan together again, nearly four centuries later, after Mac's transport crashes on an uninhabited planet, and the Enterprise responds to the distress beacon.
This story brings all three of these fandoms together in unique, unexpected, and touching ways while being true to each character's nature. Guinan is one of my favorite secondary characters in TNG, and I enjoyed the author's interpretation and elaboration of the woman we see onscreen. I also enjoyed seeing Mac in the 24th century, as seen through the filter of the Trek universe.
There are two versions of the story, if you're not interested in explicit hetsex:
In the Dark (NC-17)
In the Dark (PG)
I will post links to the sequel in a separate post.
