Why this must be read:
DSR (Doggett/Scully romance) existed before Anne Hedonia, but it wouldn't be too far off the mark to say that she was the author who made it respectable. And while all of her stories are fantastic, this is the one that really set the stage for what came after. Written towards the beginning of S8, but set late in a S9 that could have been, but wasn't, it explores how Doggett and Scully's relationship might have developed had Mulder been missing for more than six months.
Her Doggett is noble and aware (even of his own weakness), her Scully is wounded but still standing--not ready to give up on finding Mulder, but beginning to face and accept the possibility of a life without him--and the pivotal moment in the story where the relationship becomes something more than just substitutionary is believable and heartbreakingly honest. There are no promises here, except the promise of hope.
And if that doesn't convince you to read it...how about the fact that there are die-hard Mulder/Scully 'Shippers who have read, loved and even recommended it in the past? *grin*
