I turn to put into words what you mean to the fandom. All I can say is thank you for making the revival mean so much more.

You're welcome and THANK YOU for reading. This fandom has meant a lot to me for a very long time, so I hope that I've done my part to give a little back.

Wow!!! This is so wonderful and excellent and beautifully written. And so Mulder and Scully.

I loved every word. These were some of my favorite quotes (when I wasn't too immersed in reading and forgot to copy) :

Wasn’t trying not to think about him the same, really, as thinking about him? A Zen koan. Mulder is and Mulder isn’t.
...
The days got longer and warmer. It rained. She couldn’t sleep.
...
It bloomed white hot in her head. Right where the cancer had been, she thought. She felt blinded by her anger. Sick.
...
You let me be taken. I had a baby. She died. They killed her. They killed me but I didn’t die. Chemotherapy works by injecting poison into your veins. My sister’s blood on my hardwood floor. I covered the spot with a rug. Ruskin Dam. Pennsylvania. The motel room. The way you say my name. What we might’ve been. How things could’ve been. All gone gone gone gone-

Ahhh just amazing. I'm so glad you were inspired to complete it. :) Thank you so much for posting today. ♥

Thank you so much for reading!

You're back! anonymous March 26 2018, 19:11:03 UTC

I came to your site to cheer myself up as you are probably my favorite fanfic writer. I've read and reread your stories multiple times. I love your Mulder and Scully. I often hoped that you'd publish more but since it had been 10 yrs since, I didn't have much hope. What a wonderful surprise to see new work!! Thank you for this. I hope the season finale of 11 hasn't scared you away and you continue to post new stories.

Hearing that you came here to cheer yourself up is basically the best feedback on my fic I could get. I'm glad I was able to offer something new! (Though it's not very cheerful, I guess.)

Whether I'll write more is yet to be seen, but I'll never be scared away from this stupid, wonderful show.

Thank you thetvmouse March 27 2018, 04:25:14 UTC

Wow. You're one of my favorite fic writers, and to see a new piece from you now is such a treat. Reading this was like coming home to the feeling of watching The X-Files for the first time. You've captured all of the monochrome sadness and hope of season 5 and distilled it into something lovely. I'm just so glad you finished this and shared it with all of us. Thank you so much!

Oh, thank you! To quote Leslie Knope, there's just something about old times.

I have a special fondness for S5, as it was the season I became a fan - really becoming obsessed sometime between Red and the Black and Pine Bluff Variant. This is one of the most beautiful S5 fics I've read in a long time. Love how you interweave the back story of Mulder's involvement in the New Spartans case with the evolution of his and Scully's relationship. So glad to see you're writing again!

Thank you so much! I feel the same about s5 because it's when I got in really deep. (It was the year we got the internet, so I think of covertly reading fic at the family computer in the dining room when I think of s5.)
