Fic Rec: 1X03 Conduit

[wendelah1]

In "Conduit," Mulder and Scully investigate their case, argue about their theories, investigate and argue some more, setting a pattern of interaction which will continue all during their partnership. She spends the entire episode trying to figure out a way to get through to him. She never does.


ML wrote eight nine fics in her XF: Friday Nights series. They are all episode tags, they are all centered around a secondary character (or characters) on the series. They are well-crafted fics that fit perfectly into the interstices of The X-Files universe. I wish she'd written one for every episode. zinnia03, are you listening?

EDIT: I guess she is, because she just posted another one: Two-Faced, an episode-tag for "Space." I should run over and add it to the "Space" entry, too.
