Arizona Highways by Fialka
ETA: forgot a pairing.
Fandom: THE X FILES
Pairing: Mulder/other, Scully/other, Mulder/Scully
Length: 740k
Author on LJ: Rhapsody in Purple (lj)
Author Website: The Candybox
Why this must be read: So. Arizona Highways. One of the best casefiles ever written and quite frankly, filled with heartbreak for both of our Heroes, for what happens to one also happens to the other (there is angst, but it relates mostly to the case). Grab a hot drink and put some good music on, get comfy on your couch - this is one heck of a ride.
Bad sign, when Mulder just sat there letting Scully give evasive
answers. Normally, it meant they had something up their sleeves,
something she didn't want to lie to her boss about, but also didn't
want tell him. This time it seemed Mulder hadn't bothered to explain
his intentions to Scully either. It would hardly be the first time
he'd left her dangling over a procedural abyss.
Skinner watched as Scully gave her partner another cutting look,
clearly waiting for him to elaborate.
"I have a case for you," he interrupted, before Mulder started
bleeding all over the carpet. Skinner had received that look of
pointed betrayal from Scully once or twice himself, and he knew how
deep it went. Let them argue it out downstairs, out of his sight, as
he presumed they usually did. It unnerved him to see these two visibly
at odds with each other. Even when they privately disgreed, they
usually managed to present an indivisible front to everybody else.
