Bonemeal by Magdeleine (R, for disturbing subject matter)
Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: gen
Length: 1500
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Magdeline at the 'Den of Iniquity'
Why this must be read:
This is a short fic, written for a 'two-hour' challenge where the author was given two hours to write three elements to incorporate in the story. What she came up with is simply fantastic and quite powerful as well. It's amazing how many truly gifted authors there are in this fandom and how wonderful it is that authors who have probably long since retired continue to share their stories (this story was written in 2000).
First of all, this story is beautifully written with such detail without being bogged down by too much description. Dialogue is sparse, and most of this story is driven by description and short phrases, handled with amazing grace by Magdeleine. The story is simple, a hint of an x-file, well within cannon, showing the deep partnership between Mulder and Scully without straying into relationship territory, and the last line still gives me shivers. Every time.
