Oyster by Jordan (NC-17)

Greetings, everyone! I'm [livejournal.com profile] emily_shore, also known as Naraht, and I'll be driving the van for The X-Files this month. What I read is mostly het and gen, so that's what I'll be offering you, but within those bounds you can expect a wide range of characters and pairings. I look for poetic prose, subtle characterization, and most of all stories that are just a little out of the ordinary. Without further ado...

Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully, Skinner/Scully
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: Jordan's Homepage
Why this must be read:

When this story was recced recently by [livejournal.com profile] rivkat on [livejournal.com profile] halfamoon, I couldn't believe that I had missed it for so long. In my opinion it is one of the classics of the fandom. It offers a mysterious casefile which Mulder, Scully and Skinner must all work together to solve. But it is so much more than just a casefile. There is sensitive characterization and lovely writing with vivid, quasi-hallucinatory detail. There is symbolism aplenty, and there is a mystical element that transcends the usual sceptic/believer dichotomy of the show. To say more would be saying too much. Read it.
