I don't think there's anything in particular I don't like. This isn't one of my top ten favorite fics or anything, but I can't really think of anything I'd want to change. Hmm.

At times Mulder's characterization throws me a little. The way he relates to Scully somehow makes her seem more separate from him than I'm used to. I don’t know how else to describe it. He can be thinking admiring or desirous thoughts about her and still seem quite aloof. I think Khyber’s really great with POV, in terms of making individual POV’s distinct and realistic and interesting, and this Mulder is all those things, which I like. But there’s something about him that keeps me a little on edge. Though I could say the same about canon Mulder.
