Why this must be read:

I always have unreasonable love for stories that depict Samantha Mulder as a person in her own right, and yet this story inspires unreasonable love in so many other ways as well. It offers achingly beautiful prose and a subtle, tender look at the Mulder/Scully relationship, using alternate universes as a way to explore questions of loss and memory. Whether or not you care about Samantha, give this one a chance.

“It’s like I have a speciality,” he’s saying, and there’s a cracking fretfulness in his voice, a note of something faintly unreal, “it’s like everyone knows about it, whenever you get some perp raping and eviscerating twelve-year-old girls, they all think of me, time to bring in Spooky and his spooked-out brain, why do I always, I mean, why is it always me?”

“Spooked-out is right,” Scully tells him crisply. “I can hear your neurons misfiring.”
