I'm a little hesitant about approaching Fathoms Five because I think it's a fic masterpiece. Another one. We're going to run out at this rate. Well, there's still Sokol.
I guess we'd better save "Sokol," then. *g* What is remarkable to me is that we still have writers of this caliber producing work this damn good. The show ended (and so badly) back in 2002, and the we get nothing until 2008 when we were presented with that travesty of a film. And despite that, we are gifted with this. It deserves a much wider audience than the couple hundred people who follow this com.
Well, as you know, I had a hard time with this story the first time through. It threatened to upset me this time around, too, but I managed to get past that point and read the story. I'm still working on the unified theory part.
This is an excellent, succinct review, focusing on the unique, science fiction tragedy that Scully finds herself living. I'm going to try then to focus on the parts of the story that make it so universal.
Oh, about praying. Did we notice that Scully is still wearing her cross, and that the Mulder-Scully's give thanks before eating lasagna? Possibly being the recipient of an unwanted miracle opens one's eyes to the possibility of an ancient one.
She put the gun into her left hand, so that she could cross herself before she put the gun in her mouth and pulled the trigger.
She got a wanted miracle, too, in the birth of her son.
