MISTIERS: Kris Newton TITLE: Facets of Want by Leigh Alexander CHARACTERS: Mike and the bots SUMMARY: Mulder gives Scully a backrub for an hour and then has sex in between paragraphs. CATAGORIES: X-Files HOST SEGMENTS: Pre-Story: Crow navigates and Tom engineers. Hilarity ensues (yeah, right.) Invention by Dr. F.: the nefarious Sing Alone. Post-Story: Engineering problems fixed, Dr. F. threatens a Ratliffe, and Frank has a prophetic dream. REFLECTIONS: I finished this story before Cyberpages and the Prayer List (which were posted earlier), but it took me a while to think of host segments. The ones I've got aren't the best, but they don't have to be: the MSTing itself is good. The story was the first and last Mulder/Scully romance I read. It was so out of character and meaningless that I couldn't imagine a good MSR existing anywhere. Such are the scars of a MSTer. CHRONOLOGICAL NOTES: Mike and Frank era. Post-Enterprized. RECOMMENDED READING: [none, though it seems like Enterprized might be one]
