Oh, cofax, I'm so glad that a)you are the crack_van recc'er this month and that b)you recommended Penumbra. I just posted the other day at a board looking for a fic that turned out to be by Penumbra. I could only recall a little exchange that turned out to be from Parabiosis:
"The 'Scully mystique'?"
"The reality of you. All the little things - the way you slur your S's; the way you lie so badly; the way you don't always register on automatic doors."
Frequently Scully had to stop and wave her hand to trip the electronic eye. It was a refreshing change from setting off the metal detectors in airports with her B-movie subcutaneous dogtag.
"I bet automatic doors see Tea Leoni coming a mile away," he said, mock-derisively.
"Mulder, my friend, you live in a world of illusion," Scully said fondly.
Penumbra makes my stomach hurt sometimes, she can wield her words so beautifully. I'm rereading her stuff right now.
Thanks for this recc and your others-they've been fantastic.
