Why this must be read: There is an episode arc in the third season of The X-Files known as "the rift" or "the tiff," if you are British, where Mulder and Scully appear not to be getting along all that well. Kel has set this story in third season, so I think you could make an argument that it's unofficially rift fic. Despite that ominous description, it is that rarest of prizes: a genfic casefile that fits into canon, which still has the Mulder/Scully partnership at its center, and is written by an author who likes both of the characters! It's mostly vintage Kel: snappy dialogue, intricate plotting, with a side order of political/social satire. The Lone Gunmen all play pivotal roles in this story, too. Oh! I nearly left out the best part: in a truly memorable and luminous sequence, Mulder and Scully journey to the "lower world," and get to meet their spirit guides. This would have made a great episode, with its perfect mixture of humor, murder, and mysticism.
