This author's name stands out to me. I can't recall her other work offhand, but I remember she was really good.
He sat at his desk with his fingers laced together, peering over the rims of his glasses at Scully. In that pose, he looked rather like a disapproving high school teacher, she thought.
Purrrr...
Ahem. Onward.
"I am such a bleeding-heart loser," he said, and bowed his head as if in defeat.
Aw, Mulder, that's why we love you!
After gazing at it a moment, he dug out the case containing his reading glasses from his jacket pocket.
Adorable!

I overdosed on fic back in the day and I find it hard to read longer fics these days. It says a lot that this kept me reading all the way through! Random thoughts:
- I loved how it got inside the mind of a disturbed killer, the way the show did in early years. - I loved Mulder explaining/acting out his theory of what happened to the girl. I'd forgotten how scarily brilliant Mulder could be with things like that. - At first I wasn't sure I was buying the whole 'Mulder-might-have-violent-tendencies' thing. But as I continued to think about it, I guess if it was during the earlier seasons, we didn't know Mulder that well. And he was in the Violent Crimes Unit and did do the profiling thing, so I guess it's not as big a stretch as I first thought.
Scully had no doubt that he was sincere--he really felt for these people. He was going to bust them, no question, but he felt for them.
I love that about Mulder.
Without all that paraphernalia, and without the customary 2 1/2 inch heels, Scully was a little freckle-faced redhead with round cheeks and big blue eyes.
D'aaaww! That's our girl!

I wasn't much buying the 'I'm a loser' / weepy Fox thing, but the story as a whole was a good one. Creepy, funny at times, and full of the early season charm of these two people. I think it would've made a good episode.
Aw, the Scully Report at the end! Such memories. This made me miss our show all over again. And that's always a good thing.
