Oooooh YOU SWITCHED THE ENDING, and I love it. Lovely, lovely piece. Slightly haunting, as the subject matter calls for, but I knew if you stayed with it, you'd find what you were looking for, and I think you did.

This is fantastic. Poor Scully. Why do I always, always want to hug her?

Thank you! It was hard, but I think I'm mostly satisfied with it.

Because her life SUCKS and it's only going to get worse from here! (Well, briefly better. But then MUCH, MUCH WORSE.)

Really, really love this (along with all the other stories here!) Great concept, great execution, and a really neat bunch of work!

Oooo! Of course Padgett took pictures! It never occurred to me!

Hooray for Mulder burning the pictures! Well done!

oh wow. Milagro is my absolute favourite episode. It's the one that I can watch over and over and over and still be completely stunned by everything about it. This is just so perfect. It had never occured to me that Padgett would be as stalkery as to take pictures, but now that it's there, I can see it.

It’s such an invasion of her privacy that Mulder hesitates. He doesn’t want to see her like this. He wants to go back down to the basement to shoot Padgett in the head, in the face, in his fucking face that drew Scully in with its intense gaze as its lips spilled pretty words and flattering ideas.

Oh Mulder.

Aw, thanks! I'm glad it worked for you, since you like the episode so much.

I wasn't sure at first whether he would take photos or not--since he's into words, not pictures, from what we saw of him--but I thought, with the amount of following her he apparently did, he probably did take photographs as well, because they could inspire his writing. So I'm glad you can see it too!

Oh Milagro - how you do things to me, and how beautifully you filled in the blanks for an ending that was begging for a little more MSR. le sigh....
