Waiting by Kipler (G)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Characters/Pairing: Mulder/Scully, Skinner
Length: 33K
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: is here.
Why this must be read: It's an actual casefile set during the summer after Gethsemane, and written during the summer between the airing of Gethsemane and Redux. That in itself is pretty freaking cool. But it's the writing, on every level, which makes this fic brilliant. Kipler writes a Scully who is very believably in the stages of disintegration - bodily, mentally. Meanwhile, she seamlessly brings together all the elements of the X-Files up to that point in the story in a way that is subtle, stunning, and incredibly eerie to behold. Kipler's writing is evocative. Her story feels like one muscle, under the surface of which innumerable tensions are at work. This is one of those wonderful fics where, IMO, Scully is just as precisely yet even more magnificently Scully than she is in canon.
Waiting (or on gossamer if you find this format distracting.)
