We discussed "Up the Ladder" here, and you're welcome to chime in any time. They're both excellent, it's just that the Syntax6 one was left unfinished, a first for her, so I can't recommend it. "Original Sin" is the reason I don't read WIP any longer. I wait for them to get posted and then check them out.
They all work for me as metafic, as commentary on the series itself, but they don't work as AUs, except maybe the Samantha/Scully one if she'd taken more time to develop her as a character. We've seen nine seasons of Mulder, we know Mulder, and this Samantha pales in comparison; she can't compete against that many years of canon.
