Why this must be read:
I'll admit it. I love angst when it's well done. This post-series finale story drips with wonderfully-handled angst from the first lines to the last. It is an honest and unflinching look at what giving her son up for adoption has done to Scully, and Mulder, too. It made me sniffle, but it also made me think.
It was insane, but she imagined herself packing lunch into a brown paper bag (40% recycled at least; she would have been environmentally conscious.) Never, never the sandwich; she could never see what sort of sandwich it was. Not bologna, not ham. Perhaps peanut butter and jelly, that was traditional.
To date, if all had gone picture-perfect for her (for them really, for them; she felt so selfish), she estimated she would have made and sent off one-hundred and ninety three perfectly-constructed nutritional lunches, give or take.

On a personal note, I've been in this fandom for more than ten years, and I love seeing so many talented newer authors writing X-Files fic!

Me too. I've been in fandom since I was 14 and could barely type a word of English and new fic still makes me weak in the knees.
