Stories 177-178: "Amnesia" and "Vapor Trail" by Khyber

[wendelah1]

Though summer is now over, we are continuing our leisurely reading through the series, "Khyber versus Season Seven." Discussion is winding down finally on the last post, but there are some new comments up, including an informative summary of the two longer stories by amyhit (thank you!).

Next up for consideration are two post-eps: "Amnesia," written for Brand X and "Vapor Trail," for Je Souhaite. These are both short, so I think we'll get through them a lot quicker. Both are rated Teen and above, I'd say, though check his intros to be sure. Spoilers for those episodes and for "All Things."

"Amnesia"

"Vapor Trail"

If the Internet Archive is having a bad day, the entire series can be found at Gossamer.

Okay. I've been a bad girl and read ahead, so I'll have to reread these and come back with some better comments. I'm so enjoying the Mulder and Scully in this universe, but the more I read, the more I'm saddened by knowing that it isn't finished. Do we know, is there a chance that Khyber will come back and finish this series? I know his fandom emails are dead, but...I don't know. I just really need to know how it will end!

Since I don't have any specific comments yet, I will say that I love Khyber's style. Reading his stories makes me want to get out my keyboard and write X-Files again, and I haven't felt that pull since last year.

Well. It isn't a good sign that his fandom emails are all dead and that he let his website go down. He did take a long hiatus from fandom once before and then came back and finished Sokol, started KvS7, then had another hiatus. I did post that if anyone had a "real life" email for him, to let him know we're reading KvS7. I don't know what else to do. If he has a Google alert set on his fandom name (many people do) then he'll know we haven't forgotten about him. I'd say there is a chance, albeit a small one, that this will be finished. If XF3 gets made? He was a fan of IWTB.

I have my own theory about what was supposed to happen at the end of this based on what has happened so far, how Sokol ended, and how much he liked the ending of IWTB; I'll post it at the end, I guess. In the meantime, give us your thoughts on this fic.
