Dark cynical Scully? Have you read Iolokus or anything by Rivkat? Rivkat gives us the darkest Scully I can imagine and she's a terrific writer. You would probably love Life During Wartime, too. It's long, multi-chaptered and multi-authored, but so worth it. That fic is the reason I started watching the show in the first place.
There were a lot of questions raised, but not many answers provided. I think your description of the fic is very fitting:: it has "a sad, resigned beauty." There is certainly an audience for that sort of story in this fandom but I'm not among them in this case.
I have a hard time imagining Agent Doggett behaving in this manner. Without more information it just feels like his name was slapped onto a character. On the show, he seems like one of the good guys, not the kind of man who'd kill kids either, especially since his own son was murdered.
