Why this must be read:
Many of us fans of the X-Files think that the ninth season of the show was a travesty, for many reasons. Which, of course, makes that season ripe for fanfic to explore the gaping holes the storylines left. This new story does just that and adds a human, three-dimensional element to a number of events that seemed poorly done and often inexplicable on the actual show. It's an epistolary story, replete with little twists and turns, coded messages, and rich characterization. And by the end, if you're not sniffling a bit, I'll be very surprised.
My mother and I took William to the beach for a couple of days. I dipped his feet in the surf and I was reminded that seawater has a similar chemical makeup to both blood and amniotic fluid. We crawled from those primordial seas so many millions of years ago and carry some of it inside of us to this day. I know you get seasick, but I think we are hardwired to crave the ocean and I want to take William sailing when he's older. I think he has the genes for it. You may not be a sailor, Mulder, but you know the unquenchable lure of the unknown and thrill of riding out a storm.
