Author Website: N/A (this is the author's first fic)
Why this must be read:
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am SO thrilled that the movie and the resurgence of this fandom have brought some exciting new writers to the forefront. This isamalnahurriyeh's first fic, but you'd never know it. It's written with a dry wit and features terrific characterization.
Like the story I previously recced, White Board deals with Mulder and Scully adjusting to their new domesticity in the Unremarkable House, but this story stands on its own. Anyone who has ever lived with another person, whether partner or roommate, will be able to appreciate the struggles our former FBI agents, both fiercely solitary people, go through.
They bought the house cash, no mortgage, with the last of the first of their secret emergency accounts, two years on. It was small enough that they didn't rattle and no one suggested it was perfect for a family, twisted that knife yet again. Far enough out that he could never leave and no one would notice, but commuting distance to three different hospitals, each with openings. (None in pathology. No more corpses, she had ruled, and he had acquiesced with terrified calm.) A big plot of land; he began spinning absurd, sweet stories of putting in an orchard and keeping chickens and maybe even a few goats. "Cheese. We'll be urban refugee cheese farmers. That's our cover."
"Mulder, I'm not certain I trust you to ferment milk properly. Nor do I think any self-respecting goat will let you milk it."
