If you're looking for a darker fic that explores what might’ve happened if Mulder and Scully had been abducted together, then you'll like this fic. Mulder and Scully’s bond and support throughout is gut wrenching and beautiful ate the same time.

This story takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster. It explores how Mulder and Scully’s connection would hold up in a situation that was absolutely extreme: Mulder and Scully are abducted and imprisoned in adjacent, soundproof cells. They can only see each other through a glass wall that decides their cells, hence the title.

We don't know much about who abducted them but the true focus of this fic is Mulder and Scully’s bond and how it helps them to survive. The way they communicate, not with words, but with their expressions and gestures, is heartbreaking and beautifully written.

Skuls captures their connection wonderfully.

But it's not just witnessing Mulder and Scully dealing with their situation that makes me like this fic so much. It's also the suspense and mystery that kept me wondering throughout the story how this could end.

If you crave a darker, more intense plot with a strong bond between Mulder and Scully that can overcome nearly everything, this is the story for it. It's haunting and emotional and stayed with me long after I finished reading.
