Why this must be read: It's so nice to see that even though X-Files has been over for years, people are still writing amazing X-Files fic. This is one of my favorite crossovers, because the shows have a similar style and similar relationships between the main characters. This is a post-apocalyptic AU (so...not exactly a post-ep, but oh well) with character death. It's bleak but fascinating and gorgeously written. The premise is awesome and even if you've never seen Bones, you should check it out!


She'd taken to wearing a cloak over her clothes, despite the threat of the coming summer heat. Two nights ago, picking her way through the abandoned ruins of an old costume and decorations store, she had found it lying on the floor and figured it would serve her purpose. It had a hood, which was the most important part. She couldn't afford the luxury of walking around with her hair showing anymore. Things had grown out of her control over the past few months, until she found herself the story of legends and whispered stories. A healer, a saviour, someone who would bring them all a better life... somehow, she now represented all of these things to a group of survivors who starved for hope in a terrifying new world.

If Mulder were alive, Dana Scully reflected, the entire situation would have amused him thoroughly.
