Gazzaniga by nevdull (R)
Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: None (Mulder/Scully UST)
Author on LJ: Not that I know of
Author Website: nevdull's stories
Why this must be read: What do surrealist painting, cognitive neuroscience, and stereograms (you know, those blurry 3D pictures that are supposed to look like dinosaurs if you stare at them long enough) have in common? The answer is that they're all woven together to form this intricate and absolutely unique case-file based story. At just over 18,000 words, this story is not exceptionally long, but the sheer inventiveness of the concept, coupled with nevdull’s gift for spare yet striking prose, allows it to transcend the trappings of your average case-file fic.
It’s not a romance, but the interaction between the partners reads like one of the better episodes from the series—you can actually imagine them participating in the exchanges that nevdull sprinkles throughout the fabric of this tale. The ending is both brilliant and haunting, moving the story from the realm of cleverly constructed case-file to subtly powerful character study.
