It's hard to say anything about Syntax6's work, because it's so superior.
Yes, I’ve been struggling with this for the last week and a half. Her writing is just so good across the board that I have no idea what to say about it, other than “Wow, this.” Laws of Motion deserves a very long, very in depth examination (and lots n' lots of praise) but I'm afraid I'm not quite up to the task at the moment.
For the most part you could c/p me raving about one of Syn’s fics and apply it to any one of her fics, though I do have favorites of course. The way the plot comes together in LOM is brilliant. The way it pulls together the weak threads of the Emily storyline and makes them far more cohesive and powerful is fantastic. And even though the events of LOM are extremely hard on Scully, I feel the fic does her justice by acknowledging her strength and her violation, rather than only paying attention to the facts that are convenient to move the plot wherever the writers have decided to take it. And hell, in the end Mulder comes out better as well. By actually acknowledging how wrong he was to conceal the things he did from Scully, it gives the character a chance to mature, make better choices in the future and whatnot.
