The X-Files in which Mulder and Scully end up trapped with a sea monster during a hurricane. As Marguerite points out in this story's disclaimer, there were some gaping holes in the story, and Marguerite set out to fill them.
It's an angsty one-shot that requires a working knowledge of Mulder and Scully's severely screwed-up relationship up through season six. From Mulder's POV, we get some frightening imagery and an echoing of angst-ridden season one 'ship - this is vintage Mulder and Scully, always misunderstanding and misinterpreting, and rarely ever talking it out. Marguerite is a classic XF writer, digging into Mulder's psyche and letting it all play out with just enough exposition and scene-setting.
Plus, post-hurricane, if you're like me and current events have an effect on your reading habits.
