Why this must be read: First off, there were and are very few writers in this fandom willing to tackle this pairing. Diana Fowley was never well-liked by fandom, and that was mostly the show's writers' fault. But a small segment of us always wondered, why did she leave Mulder in the first place, and what was that like? Winter Baby doesn't answer why, but she does humanize Diana in a wonderful, brutal way.



There's a hairline crack in her coffee mug. A thing as
inconsequential as that shouldn't make her cry but sometimes she
can't help it. Fox isn't with her anymore and she feels as if
she's suffocating. She hates that he'll move on and that she
won't because she can't forget him. After all this time, his
smell is still in her hair no matter how much she washes it.
