I found the M/S relationship toward the end of the fic to be...maybe too sweet isn't quite what I'm reaching for. There's plot-necessitated full body contact. There's giggling. I found the relationship earlier in the fic much easier to digest--I thought Mulder's withdrawing from Scully and Samantha very believable.
I'd be interested to hear what you think.
None of the characters look so nice under the light this fic shines on them, but for the most part I think they are still in character, which is what I find so interesting.
RivkaT doesn't show her characters a lot of sympathy, either in story angst or in exploring their characterization. It's interesting to me because a lot of fic writers seem to try to see/explore the best in the characters.
I like that creepy shippiness excerpt, as you say it's creepy but kind of accurate. I'm not sure how well it works coming from Samantha.
