FIC: wage your war

Despite all the fantastic support from Dasha and Sarah?  I still ran into a bout of last-minute horror about the concept of posting this, and nearly didn't.  So... be gentle, I guess?  (Also, it's pretty damn short, so don't say I didn't warn you.)

Lovely!!

Wow--I think this is incredibly well-done! Why haven't I read anything of yours before?! Dasha posted a link at Haven, so I had to come trundling on over.
It really is lovely, deep and thoughtful, romantic in its angsty way. I love nervous has-to-sit-down Mulder and Scully being so quietly brave.

Keep at it, girl!

Thanks so much, phanta! I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it!

As to XF writing, I haven't really posted anything else yet. I did share a few other snippets (more unfinished than this one, though) many months ago from this same gigantic thing, but it'll be quite awhile before the whole thing is finished, I imagine. Though encouragement from all these lovely people, especially Dasha, is a big help! :)

This is incredibly lovely. At first I was also worried as to how Mulder could be even slightly okay with taking out her chip, but your explanation works - very well. As does Mulder's continued worry, even though he knows he has to trust Scully.

Beautiful!

There isn't enough good fic that explores the continued fallout of her chip. Thanks for writing this!

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! I'm thinking that distinct lacking of fic out there that really addresses the chip might have been why this idea took such a hold of my brain. I'm really glad that it worked for you! :)
