Story 134: "Universal Invariants" by Syntax6

[wendelah1]

First, thank you to amyhit for posting a story and moderating discussion in my absence. She noticed that nothing had been posted for...quite some time, pm'd me and came to my rescue. If there is anyone else out there who wishes to post their own recs, rather than have me do it, please let me know. I am the moderator, but this is our community. As always, the nomination post is awaiting your suggestions.

No discussion of fanfiction set during the early seasons is complete without "Universal Invariants." Yes, you've all heard of the story and most of you have probably read it, too. If you are like me, you've read it more than once, especially Chapter 12. *cough*. In "Universal Invariants," syntax6 takes the canon from season one and early season two, adds an au twist, throws in a tasty casefile, mixes in plenty of UST, Mulder/Scully banter and some angsty relationship stuff, and presents us with a fanfiction classic.

In this story, the twist is this: what if Ethan's scene hadn't been cut out of the pilot and Scully had been allowed to have a life of her own, apart from Mulder and the X-files? How would the storyline have been changed? How would it have stayed the same? This story is long and engrossing, so give yourself plenty of time. If you haven't already done so, don't forget to send the writer feedback!


Read "Universal Invariants".

Oh Ceci, this story is a must read :D It's amazing, one of my favorites (from this author, and from the XF fandom in general). It is a bit long, but you really don't mind once you get into it, because it's so good, the characterizations are spot on, and the story and how it fits in canon *fangirls it like whoa*

The sequel is awesome too :)

Thanks Yennie. I'm on part 9 now.
But all this recent squeeing about XF prevented me from reading it. I have to remedy that, I'm really liking it so far :)
