All in the Waiting (The Silent Funeral Overture) by Rynne (PG)

Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Length: 3,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rynne
Author Website: The Background Hum
Why this must be read: Rynne writes about Mulder during his alien abduction in S8. Not only does Mulder hear the screams and pain of those around him, but he can hear Scully as well. Touching and poignant, especially the scenes in the cemetary, by Samantha's empty grave.

It's strange, but he's never felt out-of-place in cemeteries. It's not that he feels dead, but so much of his life since he'd joined the Bureau has been bound up in death that he just grew accustomed. He's not Scully, can't imagine being a pathologist and intimately getting to know the empty shell of what had once been a person, but death has never made him squeamish. It's just a natural part of life, and though he may not like it, he's never been afraid of it.

People call him spooky for that, too.
