Why this must be read: A single line from Haphazard Method's "Synesthesia" inspired me to start writing fanfiction, but it's well known and been recced everywhere, including here, if memory serves. But this story might be even better.

SUMMARY: Mulder was so angry in En Ami. What happened to reconcile
him to Scully's actions? Barbara tells me most people said "sex."
This is not that story.

"The fact that forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us isn't honored more--I blame that on writers.
Because the easy story to tell is the vengeance story, and it's
known to satisfy. This guy shot my brother. How's the story gonna
wind up? And what does a reader think? OK, that's settled. So it's
just the easiest of all stories to tell. So it in fact encourages,
makes reputable vengeance." -- Kurt Vonnegut

This is not that story, either.
