This was difficult to read. Thanks for capturing so well the relentless pain of death and loss.

I'm glad it worked; I'm not sure where my mind went while I was writing, but apparently there are stories to tell there. Thanks for reading and commenting, Mo, I really appreciate it.

Um, wow. This was incredible, Michele, and... I don't know what else to say. I wish I were better at giving brilliant feedback when I read an awesome fic, but I'm always just kind of dumbfounded by the time I get to the end. This was amazing.

One little tiny niggling thing -- there's something weird going on with your tenses in the scene where she has the dream about William and Marita. The dream is in present tense and the story's in past tense, I get that, but there are a couple sentences where you kind of mix them up. Unless I just misunderstood it. :)

Great story, thanks for sharing!

Thanks - this was written in one of those fits that come late at night. I'm really glad you liked it!

Also, I think I fixed the tense issue in the dream sequence. Thank you so much for pointing it out!!

This is wonderful. It is also much more likely than the story that the series gave us. I always thought it odd that Mulder wasn't autopsied.

My favorite section is the one about her brother. I always feel people give Bill a hard time, especially for giving Mulder a hard time. His anger and hostility always seemed understandable to me.
