HEADER, NOTES, AND DISCLAIMER TITLE: Seeds Of Synchronicity AUTHOR: mountainphile RATING: NC-17 in some chapters CATEGORY: MSR, X-File FEEDBACK: mountainphile@yahoo.com URL: http://www.geocities.com/mountainphile DISTRIBUTION: I'm honored to be archived; ask and you shall receive, because I like to visit. Please link to the story as it's presented on my website. UNIVERSE: Turning back the clock, imagine Season 7 ending at "Je Souhaite" and continuing on without the events of "Requiem" into a less-concocted Season 8. No abduction, no pregnancy, no contradictory time lines or events. Just Scully and Mulder, definitely *more* than friends, in their pursuit of the truth on the X-Files. DESCRIPTION: Six years after the events of "Aubrey," Scully and Mulder revisit the Missouri town to confront old demons and lay new ones to rest. SPOILERS: Anything goes from seasons 1 through 7, with a special focus on "Aubrey." Continuity errors and conflicting dates abound in the latter part of Season 2, the worst of which I urge the reader to ignore along with me as I spin my tale. :) DISCLAIMER: As frustrating as it is, all things XF *still* belong to Chris Carter, FOX, and 1013 Productions. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: To the gracious ladies of Musea for their enthusiasm. To Mish for her pointy WIP/beta-stick and for giving me the final push; to Audrey Roget for kick-ass beta and unflagging encouragement; to Forte for the occasional eagle-eye. And thanks to all the faithful stalkers who wanted a piece of the action over those long months of WIPing with me.
