Why this must be read:

I'm happy to get to rec one of my top favorite stories. The in-vitro storyline was never properly developed or addressed in season eight of TXF, leaving fic writers to pick up the pieces. This fic does that, and does it well, following the emotional ramifications of Scully's attempt to have a child and Mulder's attempt to help her. It's beautifully written and beautifully in character, and it will make you ache. I probably reread it four or five times a year.
