Aw, Maggie Scully! I love her so.

***

You captured perfectly the feeling you get when you go back to your parents' house - like you're still 10 years old.

***

His life was going somewhere, even if it was backwards. Her life? Was stuck in neutral.

I relate to this all too well these days.

***

Life went on and the world didn't end.

It's so weird, I just finished watching Millenium last night. But I think I'm going to start with S1 again. The end of S6 forward is when things kind of started to change and I don't know that I'm ready to revisit those eps just yet.

***

As always, thanks. I love these people. I know you do too.

He called! Phew.

This is excellent, again. In this scenario, for me at least, Scully is much more difficult to write than Mulder - why would she push him away after all this time? What does she feel about it? You write her at odds with herself and in denial about it, which is frustrating, but so Scully. She should have called, but I'm not surprised that it was Mulder. Heh.

I love having a Scully-POV companion, but I would REALLY love a sequel. ;)

And hee, it's never a break-up song without Kresge. *g*

Scully is more or less the hardest character I recall tackling in fanfiction - in the episodes I like her the most, she's radically different (some say out-of-character), and that makes her a real pickle!

I'm very glad you liked this!!

I don't know if a sequel is in the cards, but I'll keep you posted!

(and woohoo, Kresge!)

Excellent excellent excellent! I loved all the little details about Scully staying with her mother, and the paragraph about all the things Maggie's been remembering about her husband.

Want sequel now! ::pounds fists on table::

Thank you! I'm thinking vaguely of turning that Maggie paragraph into a bigger thing. Who knows. :-)

Ok, I just read both Eschatology and this. I liked them both. :)

You made me tear up when Maggie died. And yes, what Erries said about that paragraph where Maggie thinks about Bill Sr. Very touching. I'm still teary. Damn.

Oh, you know how I LOVES the angst! Love this as a companion piece, it fits wonderfully with the first one. Do you think there will be any more in this series?
