Are you people trying to kill me?mosinging1986April 17 2008, 01:50:26 UTC
::squeak::
I am sitting here watching some old press kit video that I bought from someone on the internets (ssshh!), looking at various XF LJ posts and just about drowning in nostalgia. And now new fic?!
I love this! It's kind of heartbreaking, but since *you're* the author, I went into it knowing that it might not be all rainbows and puppies, lol. Here are some feedbacky thoughts:
Nitpicky grammatical stuff first. I noticed two spelling errors:
"Mulder, the glint in your eyes is unmistakably. It runs in your family."
unmistakably = unmistakable
Mulder got out of the bed altogether and made a bee line for his bag, because his immediate instinct was to call Scully and tell her everything, get her to analize all of it with himanalize = analyze
( ... )
THANK YOU for catching the spelling errors. I would usually send something this long to beta, but I was impatient. Fixed and edited!
And, I'm so glad this worked for you. It's a bit nerve-wracking to tackle this portion of the unknown. With the movie coming out, we all risk being completely jossed (having our fanon upset by upcoming canon). But I'm swimming with ideas right now and some of them must come out, come hell or high water!
We'll see if there's more that will make it's way to my WordPad editor!
This is so good, in such a really painful way. It's so believable, in that worst-case-scenario way that happens when Mulder and Scully fall off the tightrope. I really hope they manage to hang on to the tightrope, even by one hand, in the movie, but in the meantime this is FANTASTIC and GUTTING to read. Thanks so much for sharing it!
Also, I love your explanation for how and why they returned, and what they are doing and why they are doing it now. They haven't abandoned their quest; it abandoned them, and so they're spinning out... ahh, Chris Carter and fic, making me think again.

He didn't hire anyone for almost two years, and only then because he'd broken a leg in an incident with a rabid dog and a faith healer.
I'd pay to see this on film.
"Advancing age?" Mulder was incredulous.
Hahahaha! Mulder and I said the same thing at the exact same moment. And you know he's just got THAT LOOK on his face and that tone. LOL!!

Thanks for bringing (almost) everyone back.
Those two are stubborn, ain't it? I think in real life, that's how things would've ended up.
I was fighting the urge to spend the rest of the night watching DVDs, but after this, how can I not?
