A Thin Veneer by Analise
Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Author on LJ: N/A
Author's Website: The X-Fiction of Analise
Why this must be read:
Colonization has come and gone, taking civilization with it. But not necessarily civilzation's monsters. That's the summary Analise provides for this post-col mystery, and it's an accurate one. One of the hallmarks of Analise's stories is an attention to the romance of the lead characters and a compelling external plot carrying the narrative along. She also excells at original characters, who are always important, vital, and distinctive without in any way being Mary Sues. Analise is one of the fanfiction writers I fully expect to be publishing original fiction under her own name at some point.
A Thin Veneer tells the story of a Mulder and Scully who have survived the first stage of colonization and found refuge in the northern Rockies, where they are helping build a small community with a group of other survivors. But amidst the day-to-day struggles about food, clothing, warmth, and hiding from the alien invaders is the slowly growing realization that the tiny community also harbors a murderer...
He tugged his woolen cap down tighter over dark hair starting to fleck with gray and pushed himself away from the tree, continuing up the mountain. Over and done with. If only it could be. If only this could all be a nightmare they could simply wake from. He would get up out of bed, head for the FBI and chastise himself for eating spicy Thai food at 3:00am ...and he would laugh off the whole thing.
No.
You can't really laugh off the end of the world. Can you?
