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.

What a cool story. I love it when authors manage to portray Mulder and Scully as the brilliant and intellectually active people that they obviously are. It isn't easy to do because you have to be nearly as bright as the characters to pull it off successfully...
