Every Sparrow Falling by Alloway (PG)
Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: Again, sadly, I haven't been able to find anything.
Author Website: Alloway's Gossamer Page
Why this must be read: Alloway is best known for "All the Mulders," a fic that is almost requisite reading upon entering the XF fandom (and which has already been recced here), but "Every Sparrow Falling" is equally as brilliant and worthy of recognition.
This is a story about evil and madness, about a siren's call that only Mulder can hear; it is about carnivals, mechanical birds, and insanity that transforms into something both beautiful and horrible. The prose is remarkable; the transitions between passages are perfect, lending what could have been a disjointed tale a sense of unity and poetic resonance. Mulder and Scully remain wonderfully true to character throughout, and the ending will leave you utterly haunted (multiple re-reads are almost a necessity). An amazing piece of fiction.
This link will take you to Alloway's page at Gossamer. "Every Sparrow Falling" is the second story listed.
