Relativistic Gravitation and Celestial Mechanics by LM (PG-13)

Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Fox Mulder/Dana Scully
Length: short story
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read:

Because it's a beautifully written, romantic (but not sappy) story about two very different people, who work long hours together in a demanding profession, start a sexual relationship in response to one of them developing a terminal illness, and fall in love. Sound predictable? Well, Love Story Redux, it's not. It's also not melodramatic, or ridiculously long, or overly explicit. Everyone stays in character, and no one has to see a therapist. The dialogue is wonderful, and Scully is just as intelligent as she is on the show. Smarter, even. This story was recced on Bright Shiny Objects back in the day, but the link was broken. Though I certainly tried, I never did track it down; a friend had it saved to her hard drive. It was worth the wait.

Read Relativistic Gravitation and Celestial Mechanics.
