Why this must be read: This is without a doubt both the most ambitious and the most successful epic length, myth-arc story that anyone has attempted in, well, in quite some time. Amal takes on the messy, incoherent series canon, which was only made worse by the dismal 2008 movie, and actually makes it better. But despite its carefully crafted, hard scifi realism, at its heart, it's a story about the relationship between Mulder and Scully. All of the regulars at least make an appearance in this story, and she also has created an original character who is making a serious play for the place in my heart currently reserved for Kel's Jerry Luskin. What is more, she has continued to write in this universe, stories that make me cry, stories that make me laugh. I can't believe this hasn't been recced yet. Oh, and it's got some great illustrations byscooly42.
