Story 34: "The Unfinished Universe" by Revely

[wendelah1]

This week's selection is The Unfinished Universe by Revely.

Classification: S/MSR/ This story wasn't AU when I started it,but now it is.
Spoilers: Through Badlaa
Feedback: revely_c@yahoo.com, or Revely@my-deja.com
A Note about the Timeline: This story contains spoilers for the first ten episodes of Season 8, but assumes that those episodes took place over the course of Scully's pregnancy (instead of just two or three months.) It also assumes that 'Requiem' took place in September, not May. Since this does not include spoilers for "Per Manum," it *really* doesn't include spoilers. Meaning, in this universe, the flashbacks from PM never happened.

Thanks to lightlack for the nomination.

As always, let the author know what you think; let us know what you think; and please, give us your suggestions for next time.

This road trip feels like a rift in space and time. It is a deliberate attempt on Scully's part to ease Mulder back into life, to give him time to read through the year's cases, and to read her of course, like the good profiler that he is.

In a sense I think it also reconciles us as viewers with the trauma of season eight. It places it all in the appropriate context--namely, firmly in a flashback--and begins with the work of reconciling both us and the characters to what happened. If you see what I mean.

Sex seems even more unlikely than sharing a bed which is funny, considering the evidence of their sexual history is sitting in the carseat or sleeping in the portacrib, right in front of them.

Good point. Very amusing.

If you see what I mean. I do, I do. Now, do you think we could kidnap revely and get her to write something that can reconcile us, or at least me, to season nine, if possible between now and July 25th? Just the thought of that is giving me a headache the size of Montana.

I have to admit, the closer this movie gets, the less enthusiastic I get about it. But that's probably a topic for another time...

I don't think I have a novel that long in me. ;)

What sweet comments on my little story you guys! It really did my heart good to hear that people remember it and have read it again--you have no idea.
