There is still plenty of time
to go read and comment on MaybeAmanda's "Blue Patches," since it is both short and awesome.
I've been hoping for a couple of years now that the members would rec some great slash stories to discuss here, so when

But having just read the third part over, I wonder if maybe my issue is not in the ending but in Doggett's. . .ugh, I hate to use this term but "manning up" so to speak? Something was missing there for me.

I definitely see hints of a Mulder/Skinner history in here. That's a pairing I've never been able to buy, but in this universe, I can juuuust persuade myself that they may have had some involvement while Scully was sick or missing. Hurt, but no comfort.
Funnily enough, I can't really see Doggett as ever having been willowy, but I can very much imagine him as having seen himself as willowy, in a way he didn't like, in his teens.

This is xf_book_club, where we are allowed, even encouraged, to say what we think as long as we don't make it personal. Hurt/comfort is my least favorite genre, in case you hadn't picked that up already. Heh. Truth be told I resent it when characters are tortured for what seems to me to be the sole purpose of getting them in bed together. That, plus the utter predictability of the plots, make it unappealing to me, although for the readers who love h/c, I'm sure just the opposite is the case. But there are always exceptions. This story was a pleasant surprise.

I'm a gen person so no need to dissuade me. But yes, for the purposes of this story, no problem.

Also I followed the link to Amalnahurriyeh's story Wendelah1 recc'ed and then the links to the sequels. Is her fic cached anywhere or do I just need to be patient and wander through her journal to find the fic?

We have discussed a number of her stories here, but she wrote a fair amount of fic for us before she jumped the coop. (I wish I liked Sherlock BBC but I quit watching after season two.)
