I like the casefile and I'm a fan of Mulder in profiler mode, but Dawson Rambo's ELS is the epitome for me. After reading Miracle and Mystery (which I enjoyed more), I realized what bothered me the most about Tesla's fic. She makes Scully weak and needy in a way that doesn't jive with me. Her contributions to the case's resolution are minimal and if these were episodes I'd have skipped them in a season rewatch. When Scully stands with the other two agents on the ski slope, listening to the wonders of Mulder's profiling skills, I nearly stopped reading. From the Pilot forward, even though Scully's marveled at his ability for mental leaps, she always manages to puncture his ballooning ego. Scully as a whimpering fangirl detracts from the story. After everything that's happened to her (even at this early canon stage), not being able to sleep with Mulder or the lights on is a bit much. I admire Scully as a strong woman and I think Mulder does too. Having her as his 'little woman' doesn't seem right.
