Nexus

Summary: Skinner’s past as a victim of experimentation in Vietnam comes back to haunt him, entangling Mulder and Scully in a complex web that binds the three of them inextricably together.

Excerpt: “Mulder held out his hand, and Scully looked at it for a moment, then took it. They both closed their eyes. Almost immediately, Scully felt the warmth of the nexus flood in, bringing with it Skinner’s pain, which was effectively dominating the link, making her flinch. Mulder’s mind was like a cluster of bright, swirling silver clouds enveloping her own pulsing orange hues, and merging with them, creating something beautiful, like a Christmas star, shot through with light. They surged together down the nexus, and found Skinner’s mind – a blend of pale blues and grays, tinged with the black of pain.”
