this is so, so lovely. in the middle i was worried, like mulder, but how silly of both of us. i am grinning like a fool, absurdly happy.

So happy you liked it! I shared Mulder's worry all through season 7 and wanted to paint a picture of it here :)

Monkey Ghosts! How else would Mulder talk about relationship stuff? Lovely evocative writing and beautiful imagery. (And it's so nice (and clever!) to have them back at the Lincoln memorial, the scene of so much early XF angst.)

[elis_xf]

Thanks so much for the feedback! I visited the memorial myself a few months ago, and couldn't stop picturing them! I must say, part of this fic is inspired by the experience. It was during the government shutdown so nobody was around and it was glorious to let my imagination loose :)

So many visual references to DC were lost later in the series, I thought it would be nice to remind them of a special place for both :)

Ah, I love that, thank you! I hear them talking in my brain spot all the time! (slightly creepy, I know.) :)

I love this! It's fun and funny and achey and just lovely. And so very much both of them. Wonderful work.

thank you so much for the feedback, i'm really glad you enjoyed it! :)

I've always wondered what happened after all things, and I really like how your Mulder can't get his head around what's been there forever until after they've (allegedly) consummated the relationship. Lovely :)

I have mixed feelings about All Things, and I never really thought I'd write a post-ep vignette for it but, who knew! It was quite a lot of fun to write! Thanks for the feedback!
