Story 62: "October Skies" by Oracle

[wendelah1]

I was going to post a long, long casefile this week, because it's next in line. Then I changed my mind. It's nearly Halloween, as estella_c reminded me, so here instead is her rec for this charming tale by Oracle.

Classification: SRA
Rated: PG-13
Key Words: Mulder/Scully romance, sallie safe. Spoilers: Duane Barry, Ascension, One Breath Disclaimer: So sue me.
Archive: Gossamer, please. Email me before archiving elsewhere. I don't see why I'd refuse.

Aww, this is definitely a guilty pleasure holiday fic of mine -- I just recommended it to a friend (along with a couple other Halloween-type stories) the other day! Good stuff.

Well, hi! I suppose one just jumps in, no?


Heh, I just read this on my own recently.


It's... mostly just very very cute, I guess. Like this part:

"Look at us," says Mulder, at one point, nuzzling her ear. "Agents Mulder and Scully, two of the FBI's finest. A pair of crusaders fighting for justice. We're like Watson and Holmes... Batman and Robin...Rocky and Bullwinkle -"


"Sonny and Cher?" she whispers. He isn't making sense but she doesn't care.


"I get to be Cher," he responds, laughing.


"Then I get to be Batman."


"Deal."

It's nice to be able to read fanfic clichés without being forced to ignore bad spelling and atrocious grammar, anyway. There's a reason they are clichés. *g*

Cute, but I think the others' comment about it being a "guilty pleasure" 'fic stands true. It's a cute story, quite a bit of fun, and there were some really sweet bits that made me smile, but I honestly couldn't picture it happening. Maybe if it was a low-key party with a few of Melissa's better friends, Scully might decide to go and end up enjoying herself, but a huge rave like that? I can't see her even going into the building without being persuaded, and then I think the crowd would put her off.

But that's just me. Still a fun read.
