Why this must be read: I joined the X-Files fandom in the spring of 2000, when season seven was well underway and the fandom itself was beginning to unravel. You wouldn't have been able to tell, though, after "all things" aired. An incredible number of post-episode stories hit the web, and post-"all things" stories nearly became their own genre.
With that said, if post-episode stories make up a genre, Melymbrosia's quiet "Subaqueous" would be one of the defining pieces. It's not very long, but it captures the mood at the end of the episode very well. "all things," if you're new to XF, was the "did they or didn't they" episode of the series, and most post-eps took it as a matter of course that they did. Few kept the atmosphere evoked by the parting shot of Buddha with Moby's "The Sky is Broken" fading away. This one achieved that and does wonders with Mulder and Scully.
