Oh! It turned out great! It felt so genuine and plausible. And I loved this:
had what seemed a practically anthropologic fascination with cricket

because, yes.

Terrific stuff!

Mulder's cricket obsession would be *epic.* :) Thanks!

And for a guy raised on Baseball and Basketball, he could only approach it as a strange, arcane bonding rite practiced by over-dressed natives.

LOL ME TOO ALMOST. After being shelved for a long time, I'm glad to have gotten it out there.

Really lovely- I especially enjoyed the final scene, and would love to see more stories in this universe. A couple of very nitpicky things- it's Brasenose (with an 's' not a 'z'), and the Proms would be over before Michaelmas begins, as they're a summer thing. Personally I think people say 'reading for the DPhil' or 'doing/on the DPhil, rather than 'in", but that may vary. Anyway, in general really enjoyed the Oxford scenes too- felt real, and some lovely little bits like the 'staircase' reference. Loved the Scully/Deacon bit, and this line "I don't think I'm allowed to date Polish." Lovely! - Lib

I'm glad you enjoyed it, despite the little off bits. Thanks!
