Basketball Therapy by Kel (PG-13)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: none
Why this must be read: Kel's fics are as tightly written as an episode of Seinfeld and as smart as a Connie Willis novel. Every detail matters, and even the most trivial of jokes end up being relevant to the story. Her infodumps are a thing of beauty, so organic that you don't realize you're reading an infodump until you know more about arteriovenous grafts than you ever thought possible. Her sense of humor will make you laugh out loud, and then the unexpected sweetness between Mulder and Scully will knock you out of your chair. Yes, she's just that good.
This fic is a masterpiece of plot. Full of bizarre, yet real, characters, and a Mulder and Scully that actually laugh once and a while in between all the angst and drama.
The other players frowned and looked at each other. They'd probably been playing together for years, Mulder thought. They acted as if they owned this court. Their shirts and shorts sported various logos: Polo, Lacoste, Adidas. Mulder came around the fence.
"Georgetown, huh?" one of the players asked Mulder, reading his shirt. "Play ball there?"
"No," said Mulder. "Kentucky." Kentucky was one of many places where Mulder had played basketball. He'd also played in North Carolina and Syracuse, and, for that matter, Georgetown too.
