Reactions and Reviews
“This House is Burning” is flat-out the best Profiler!Mulder series I’ve ever read. Tesla’s writing style flows effortlessly, and is, by turns, unobtrusive and lyrical. Her Mulder is both much more competent at his job and much less crazy than he’s often written, which is a welcome relief. But THIB is more than a series of meticulously constructed casefics, it’s also a believable, emotionally involving Mulder/Scully romance. So let’s see: great writing? Check. Exciting plot? Check. Scorching hot sex scenes? Check, check, check.[1]
What Scully really needs is a vacation, but an all-expenses-paid stay in the mountains for a non-paranormal case will have to do. If only Mulder would get on board, because she’s coming to the alarming realization that she could use a break with him rather than from him. So that’s awkward…until it isn’t. This compulsively readable casefile fic features gratuitous bed sharing, chivalrous ski-slope rescues, thirsty Scully, profiler!Mulder, and beautifully resolved sexual tension.
Am I a tad fixated on the idea of a monster-of-the-week episode that just happens to include some tasteful soft-core porn? Well, yeah, and I make no apologies. After a disappointing revival run and with no new episodes on the horizon, these fics are the closest I can get to the thrill of experiencing a never-before-seen Mulder and Scully adventure–but with sex, like we deserved, okay! Speaking of which, make sure to chase this fic with everything else Tesla wrote as well as Rachel Howard’s “Above Rubies,” another excellent novel-length casefile in which the agents take an “easy” assignment that turns out to be anything but. It’s got Mulder gazing at Scully, her gazing right back, and adjoining hotel rooms, just to name a few of its endearing qualities! [2]
