Up the Ladder is an X-Files MSR story by Rivkat.

Summary

"Marita comes through for Mulder, giving him what he wants most. But twenty-five years haven’t brought as many changes as he might have thought, and her gift might be more dangerous than anything he’s faced to date. And what’s up with those bees? A potpourri of Conspiracy elements with many old favorites present. Note: Almost everything here about bees is actually true, except for the parts that are just paranoia."

Reactions and Reviews

This conspiracy/adventure story is a fun read. Just look at the character list: Bees. Mulder. Scully. Bees. Samantha. Bees. Marita. More Bees. It would be classified AU now, but not when it was written, back when almost everything was a possibility.
