I would really like to see a scene like this on the show. Hear that, 1013? (PG)
Samantha's diary makes a reappearance in this lovely story about true faith. (PG-13)
Lydia wrote this based on spoilers for Three Words, and while this isn't the reunion we got on the air,
I could picture it on the screen in my mind all the same. (NC-17)
Ooh, the angst! Ooh, the season three angst! It's enough to make me break out into smut! Er ... song. (NC-17)
First of all, this is my new favorite fic title. Second of all, what it is about Orison that gives us
so many great post-eps? This one is no exception. (PG-13)
Scully wants Mulder to stay. Mulder wants to stay. Will our favorite duo overcome their emotional retardation
to tell each other what they want? How they feel? Thankfully, authors like Vixen let these two actually talk to each other,
something we so rarely get on the tube. (R)
Age Cannot Wither by ML (Post-Requiem, MSR)
A fairy-tale of a story that sounds impossible, and yet ML makes it work. A lovely thing. (PG-13)
I'm usually not a fan of stories told by any of the Gunmen, but this fic has made me seen the light.
The author captures Frohike's voice perfectly and gives us angst from every side. (R)
Do you think if we all sent copies of this to 1013, they'd film this and make it the end all, be all
of the XF universe? No? Damn, it was worth a shot. I'd certainly love to see it. A Return of Mulder story, but very much
different than the ones you've already read. (PG-13)
Beautifully written, this story made me both smile and sniffle. You've just got to have stories like that
in your life. The co-authors tied together events from seasons 7 and 8 in such a way that I started wanting to take
this story as gospel. Every hotel room should have a copy in the desk drawer. (NC-17)
Pteropod has this way of taking a certain string of events and just ... oh, I'd say
summarizing, but that sounds so clinical. In any case, this story made me look at season 8 and think, "It makes so much
more sense this way." (PG-13)
In this poignant and touching story, Mulder gives Scully bits of his family history in an
unusual way. If they would let Mulder do something like this on the show, all would be forgiven. Well, okay, most.
(R)
More and more as the show keeps going and going, I like to go back and revisit the old days,
where things weren't as complicated, and yet weren't easy. bugs has done just that, giving us a dark
snapshot of what might have been after Scully was returned. (NC-17)
Any Other Name by Louise Marin
(M/S UST, Quasi-MSR, Scully/Other?, Character death)
I can't tell you how excited I was to see Louise finish this story. It's heart breaking,
it's fun, it's smart ... heck, it's an all-around entertaining read. (NC-17)
Doggett started out so promising on the show, but then the writers seemed not to
care enough to tell us more. Thank goodness for fics like this that help us fill in the blanks. (G)
I'm not exactly sure what it is about this fic, but it made me feel very ... nice.
A little tenderness in this day and age of tension-inducing episodes is a good thing. (R)
I'm missing Krycek in a big way. Sometimes you just *need* that Mulder/Krycek interaction.
JC Sun never fails to fill that order. (PG-13) http://www.oocities.org/anasile/"
The use of narrative voice in this vignette made me squeal with joy. Sometimes being
inside Mulder's head is a very good place to be. ("S for Squeaky")
I haven't wanted to read post-TINH stories because the emotion of the episode hit me
hard. The ever-reliable Meredith, however, got it just right. Heartbreaking.**
Don't cringe away from the Scully/Doggett aspect, or else you'll miss a story filled with sorrow
and angst. (NC-17)
