Bait and Switch by Syntax6 (R)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Fox Mulder/Dana Scully, Fox Mulder/Diana Fowley
Length: Novel
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: Home of the Slug Slayer
Why this must be read: Like most of Syntax6's longer works, "Bait and Switch" is about murder, but in this case Mulder isn't just an investigator, he is also a suspect. If I had to classify it, I suppose I would call it a noir mystery. The time line is early season six. Mulder and Scully are under Kersh's thumb, doing background checks. Diana Fowley is in charge of the X-Files. The plot is intricate, with the mystery directly connected to Mulder's past with Diana, and his relationships with both Diana and Scully in the present. Her portrait of Diana Fowley is complex and original; her Mulder and her Scully voices are uncannily close to the series. Even the second time through, "Bait and Switch" was a fast and insanely compelling read for me.
