Hooray! You figured it out! I thought there was something like this going on, but I thought I'd have to reread and didn't have the heart. It's really a clever, clever mode of storytelling.
Yes, it is truly stellar story-telling. Characterization woven tightly into the plot. Plot being revealed by characterization. Damn, she's good.
For personal preference reasons I haven't read everything she's written--there's a Scully-hate factor that screwed things up for me at one point...
That story was the first of hers I'd read. I didn't read anything else by her until Fic Talk. Someone there recced the story she co-wrote with Maybe Amanda. I read that, fell in love and promptly revised my assessment.
