finisterre is the fic journal of the artist formerly known as Marasmus.
Why this must be read: This is the fic that made me a fan of The X-Files. Who were these people? Mulder? Scully? The Lone Gunmen? This story was so compelling that I had to start watching the show just to see more of these characters and to better understand the context of the stories. The next thing I knew, I owned seasons one through nine on DVD.

This is a brilliantly written, starkly realistic series about life after the alien invasion and the ensuing global apocalypse. It is the standard by which I will measure all apocafic: past, present and future, in this fandom or any fandom. It is just that good.

Life During Wartime

There ends my turn driving the van. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have.
