Two Such Men by Horatio (PG)
Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully, Mulder/Scully/Doggett Friendship
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: Horatio's Fic
Why this must be read:
Season nine seemed to be an awful lot about Scully, about how the other agents dealt with her and how she handled William and Mulder's absence. That theme is explored so very well in this post-finale story.
More generally, this story deals with complicated interpersonal relationships that can probably be appreciated by anybody who enjoys character-driven stories. Mulder, Scully, and Doggett don't form a love triangle, but theirs is an odd sort of relationship with both Mulder and Doggett so fiercely, devotedly protective of Scully, someone who doesn't particularly need protecting but who accepts their care. It's a strange, delicate balance, these three people's lives, and Horatio writes about it with realistic, heartbreaking ease.
