Story 97: "Malus Genius" by Maybe Amanda and Plausible Deniability

[wendelah1]

Yes. I know, I am bypassing the queue again. I need humor, friends, and there is no humor to be found in the queue, just depressing and even more depressing story recs. It has been a long time since I've read this, but I remember it as being a very clever x-file, written by two premier writers from our fandom. And, if memory serves, it is quite funny, too.

Title: "Malus Genius, vel Hoc Lemma Nequiquam Latine Scribitur" (The Evil Spirit, or This Title Is Written In Latin for No Reason)
Category: X, R, A, H
Rating: mostly R (sexual situations, mature language, and implied violence), but there are a couple of NC-17 sections.
Spoilers: Brief episode references late in the story; no major spoilers. This is a stand-alone, with the typical stand-alone disregard for the mytharc.
Keywords: Mulder/Scully romance
Summary: What's *your* evil spirit?

Malus Genius

As usual, give love to the writers, let us know what you think and leave suggestions for next time. I swear, I will get back to them, eventually.

This did fall into the specialist knowledge pothole for me in that a) Classical Latin and Ecclesiastical Latin are not the same and b) I have a really hard time imagining that a vaguely-Abrahamic-religions demon would speak Latin at all.

When I read this, I laughed so hard it made me snort tea through my nose. I love you so much!

or indeed manifest as some sort of small vicious critter (SPOILER) capable of being crushed by a car.

Maybe the vehicle in question was a holy roller?

The power of plot? Yes, the series writers used that to great effect, on a near-weekly basis, as I recall. (;

*g* Well, I think my specialist knowledge pothole is a lot weirder than yours. And I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything myself when I read that comment about the car being a holy roller!
