Story 94: "The 13th Sign" by prufrock's love
I meant to post this next story a week ago. Where has the time gone?
I debated whether or not to even post this here as it's long and kind of angsty. Okay, it's very angsty. On the Prufrock Reader Torture Scale, with zero being angst-free (there is no angst-free prufrock story as far as I know, at least none that I would recommend) and ten being "Negative Utopia" or maybe "The Wasteland," this rates at least a seven. It is neither season eight fic nor is it season nine, but William is there and so is Mulder so I am classifying it as season nine, AU, PG-13.
I have no idea why I like this story as much as I do, given that I hate babyfic and season nine, but prufrock's love writes a lovely, believable Mulder, negotiating his way through fatherhood under the worst possible circumstances, plus there's some mytharc thrown in for good measure.
You can't send the author feedback because she disabled her email address even before she quit writing fic. Her email address is posted at Gossamer, and you can leave her a comment at AO3. Love it? Hate it? Even a one line review would gladden my heart. Leave suggestions for next time here as always. I promise we will get to them eventually.
On the eve of the demise of geocities, something amazing happened. Someone decided to try to save it all and move it to their own servers. Seriously. They are calling it "reocities." To see if a geocities site has been put back up by this wonderful, wacky person, just type in the old url, substituting an "r" for the "g" and voila, there it will be, maybe.
Or not. Sadly, reocities has gone away, with no warning whatsoever, leaving dozens of broken links for me to fix. Prufrock's love has returned to the fandom and has written more fic. Her fic can be found at AO3, Gossamer and a lovely website at geocities.ws. There is now a sequel, "7 Days in May."
Link is to the series at AO3: The 13th Sign.
