Rerun Request: "To Carthage Then I Came" by Annakovsky

[wendelah1]

Thanks to all who voted in my poll re: story reruns. Although the turn-out was low, the trend seemed clear enough: the vast majority of voting members were fine with reruns. If you feel differently, now is your time to let us know. I'll leave the poll open until I figure out how to close it. Ahem.

Originally suggested by emily_shore, we first discussed "To Carthage Then I Came" April 19, 2008. Most recently, maybe_amanda nominated it. In her words: "It's short. It's haunting. It raises a lot of questions. It gives us very few answers."

I recently discovered this community while searching for xf fanfic...I just wanted to say thank you for a rec like this one. The story was haunting, unsettling, and right on the edge of plausibility. It wasn't much of a stretch for me to imagine this happening (not that it would have ever happened on the show ;-)). This is what I love about The X-Files: the fact that the characters have so many layers and so much depth that it's possible for writers to create these alternate realities for them and leave it up to the audience to connect the dots. To say "yes, I can see the potential for this" or "no way" and then move on.

I haven't read fanfic since...ooo, I'd say 2004, or so....but this story reminded me of how great it can be (even though I am a die-hard shipper, hahaha). I can't wait to go back through the recs in this com....I'm sure I've missed some wonderful stories over the years! :-)
