To get things rolling, I'll start by picking a story myself. Hopefully it will prompt some interesting discussion.

Closed Colony, Special Stock by Branwell

Rating: PG-13 for mild language, innuendo, disturbing
images and ideas.
Category: X, A, M/S Friendship
Casefile with Mytharc connection

Summary: A body is found in a top secret area on an Air
Force Base. No one knows the cause of death, or why the
dead woman was in a secured area. The Air Force officer in
charge makes a last ditch effort to prevent the project
from being closed down. He uses his clout to get the FBI to
send Mulder and Scully to investigate. Scully finds she
knows the right questions to ask--but how?

Personally I'm also a big fan of the M&S dynamic, whether romantic or otherwise, but I wanted to choose a first story that everyone could identify with so I intentionally steered clear of anything that could be interpreted as "shippy." Having said that I do think there are some nice little details in this story, just that there are very subtle.

If you can think of a good character development story that you'd like to discuss next time, then recommend away! I wouldn't want to impose my preferences on everyone else.
