I pretty much agree with everything you've said, counterphobe. yes, yes, yes about scully sleeping in mulder's bed. once is a managable slip. twice is a problem that demands immediate attention. three times is-- just not scully.
even with the sex, i never could completely connect it with mulder and scully - my mulder and scully. i thought it was extremely hot and well written - in fact this entire fic had a slightly sexier, sharper than usual edge to it - and i really enjoyed that edge. but for me the fic stays very compartmentalised in my mind. tesla's mulder and scully are tesla's mulder and scully. at the end of the fic, i'm going to thank her profusely and emphatically for letting me play with her wonderful toys, but i'm not going to ask to trade.
except for There Is Only Me In My Bedroom, which i love intensely, and which has really stuck with me and become absorbed into my own reading of the story/characters.
all my "ifs" and "buts" aside, i still thought this was a really good fic. probably one of the best casefile fics i've read. i also loved the untraditional structure of the story/stories beyond measure. i love that they're a triptych of fics, not really complete without each other, but not glaringly incomplete either. each third has a distinctive balance to it, as a whole, and yet all three parts fit so clearly into one big story that feels almost epic. this is yet another fic i would love to see as a movie.
