Why this must be read:

This was one of her first stories and while it never got the attention of her shippier fic, I think it's one of her best and most original. Set during season six before they got the X-files back, the characters sound just like the Mulder and Scully from the show I adored, bought on DVD, and have watched obsessively ever since, but with a fresh interpretation. Yes, Mulder wants to go off and investigate X-Files off the books, but through negotiation, Scully is a full participant, not merely his reluctant side-kick. I like that. Best of all, it does not read like a mediocre romance novel waiting to have the serial numbers filed off for publication. This writer is great at the little details that make a story come alive.
