America's Games by Sarah Segretti (PG)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully UST
Author on LJ: ...yes, but I don't think she wants it associated with her fic
Author Website: The Lonely Fanfic Page
Why this must be read: This is one of those non x-file case files that's so real it feels like Mulder and Scully are actual FBI agents instead of imaginary ones that chase after aliens. There aren't many aliens in this fic, instead it's about crowd control, bioterrorism, and the 1996 Summer Olympics. It's about our world. It's precise and detailed and full of science and Scully. Mulder's there too, but there are times Scully wishes he weren't.
Even as she said it, it felt wrong. She was standing just a few miles from one of the only surviving stocks of smallpox virus, surrounded by epidemiologists and infectious disease experts. The CDC was the best place in the world to find people who could help her understand her data, especially if Mulder was beginning to hide information from her again. But she didn't know this man, knew none of them, had no idea who she could trust. She barely knew Costello, except that she'd heard he'd survived five years in bank fraud before being promoted to a position where he could actually use that Ph.D. in microbiology.
In a place where there should be allies, she felt she had none.
