Hello. I just found this community and think it's marvellous. I wondered whether you'd considered reading "Five Years And One Night" by Shalimar, which hits many of my favourite story buttons and also has one of the most carefully controlled, skilful narrative POVs I've ever read. If you just look at the contrast between what Scully is actually thinking and how much she *says*, it squares the character in canon with the character in the story.

You might also consider "Reach" by Khyber, which had lots of tremendous character insights. It also shifts POV in a way which reminds me of the later Black Hole Season.
