Story 236: "A World to Save" by Geb
To those who celebrated, I hope you had a happy Christmas.
If you were hoping for Christmas recs, sorry, I'm fresh out. Try our holiday tag. You can check out this Tumblr rec post, too. For the "access denied" Gossamer links, just highlight and hit enter.
Since the beginning of the month, I've been driving the crack_van, doing one last set of recs for The X-Files before the community closes for good the middle of January.
"A World to Save" is one of the stories I posted to crack_van. Since I reformatted this and put it up at Fugues, I thought it might be a good choice for discussion. It's Scully-centric, dark but not unrelievedly so, in the way so many post-colonization stories are. I think it's one of the best colonization stories out there, right up there in quality with "Life During Wartime," although vastly different in scope and content.
