This was the oldest outstanding story on by "to read" list as I was a little worried about the Mulder/other factor, but I finally read it and it's definitely MSR. Mulder's ex-girlfriend is in the story, and there's some sexual tension between them, but they're both with other people now. 🙂 I have a feeling that I'd read the interlude, which is Mulder/other, and that gave me the wrong idea. Although the interlude isn't part of the original story, it was written before Part 21 but I've placed it at the end as an optional extra.
The woman at the centre of this story is a likable, interesting character, who works with Mulder and Scully on a case, before working on their personal relationship.
I haven't managed to get my hands on the original book cover created by Nessa, so if you have a copy I'd love to include it here.
There is a sequel to this one, available under 'series' below the downloads.
