Intellectual Pursuit by KatyBlue (R)

Fandom: THE X FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: Shades of Blue
Why this must be read:

Ah, Mulder and Scully at rest. No tempests, no flesh eating plagues, no shadowy conspiracies. A lot of work went into this piece, but it doesn't read that way. It's so light it's almost fluffy and then you realise that it isn't. It's actually an in-depth look at this complicated relationship and how it works when they're not working. There's love and sex, but the solid foundation is a partnership based on respect and trust. There are also some fantastic lines, such as:

He hands her a plate with a mile-high turkey sandwich on it and she peers at it dubiously. "What the hell did you put in here, Mulder?"

"A little bit of everything, Scully. I love your refrigerator. It needs to mate with mine and bestow nuptial gifts of food like those damselflies do."


Read Intellectual Pursuit.
