Why this must be read:

Syntax is a still-active writer who has been sadly under-recced here at [livejournal.com profile] crack_van - I'll do my best to fix that!

The relationship between Mulder and Maggie Scully was ambiguous on the show, and it's portrayed in many different ways in fic. This vignette, which takes up Mrs Scully's POV, doesn't go to either extreme - she doesn't hate Mulder, but he's not her long-lost son, either - and I think it is a measured and insightful look at the ambivalent feelings Maggie Scully probably has about Mulder. It's definitely worth your time.
