Why this must be read: Chances are, if you're an X-Files fan who has done time in the fandom, you had some kind of reaction to the "Mulder/Diana" note above. And with that being said, no matter what reaction you just had, this is a story you really need to read.
Talk about taking a minor female character and turning her into someone deep and interesting! "Samson" does exactly what Diana Fowley fic needs to do, dealing with her mysterious relationship with Mulder and her season 6 status as MSR foil, and remembering that she has her own backstory that must be dealt with. I love what Aloysia did here, with biting dialogue and bittersweet description. No fairy tale here - you get the sense throughout that if this were a filmed vignette, it would be done with one camera, filtered in grays, with sharp contrasts and harsh lighting.
