Story 144: "Heaven" by bugs

[wendelah1]

"Heaven" by bugsfic packs a lot of story into a very small space.

CATEGORY: V, A
SPOILERS: Through the end of season 7.
RATING: PG-13 for slightly disturbing imagery
SUMMARY: Scully begins a search.

"Heaven" through the wonder of the Wayback Machine but also available at Gossamer. And maybe here at her journal?

I often don't really "get it" with bugs's fic, I admit. I can see that techinically this is written well, that the imagery is very effective--and it definitely evokes feeling in me. But I don't really have any clue as to the purpose of the entirety of the story--I thought (as amyhit mentioned above) that the "found him" was supposed to refer to Mulder--but because this part of the writing is confusing for me, it doesn't really have much emotional impact on me.

It's not a particularly enjoyable read, but then again I don't think that was ever intended. It's supposed to make us uncomfortable, I think--even disoriented, like Scully herself.

That said, I like stories that make me think and puzzle it out a little, and I enjoyed that about "Heaven".

I agree. It's not a fun read but it did stay with me.
