Reading the headers had me smiling - Jeylan appears to share my opinions about a certain creator, but at least she turned this into a positive by writing this awesome story in response to her gripes. Just watch out for that crack in the fourth wall that Jeylan throws in.

Mulder and Scully need all the vacations they can get, even if they have to gatecrash the other's...

2024 edit: I never was 100% happy with the cover for this one, and when I was housekeeping with old photoshop files I decided to have another crack at it. I'll leave the old one here. It's not bad, it just wasn't what I was after. I've also added a web version of the story.
