Fic Recs: 3x07 "The Walk"
"The Walk" marks the beginning of the third season plot/relationship arc long referred to as "The Rift," or if you're British, "The Tiff." Opinions vary about where (or why?) the rift begins but everyone agrees it ends with "Pusher." After re-watching "The Walk," I can't say I noticed any signs of a rift between Mulder and Scully. What I saw was a well-done classic horror episode, directed by Rob Bowman from John Shiban's first script for the series.

Summary:
"No Greater Love" is a third season fic that takes place during the infamous Rift, but that’s not really what’s it’s about. The title is from John 15:13. “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” This story is about sacrifice and the redemptive power of love. And, since this is casefic, along the way, we get lots of dead bodies.
