Ugh, livejournal. If anyone here's considering backing up their journal or moving, FYI you can get a dreamwidth account without an invite code between now and the New Year.
I liked Epiphany, a lot. There's nothing especially new about it, but it's sweetly written and manages not to be too sappy despite being holiday fic, baby fic, and schmoopy 'ship fic. I like the background detail of Mulder's missing memories and the references to Doggett and Scully's new job.
I like the beginning of How To Fly, the setting of the scene. Like amyhit mentioned above, I thought this was a good scene:
"So then why did you want to join me?" she asks, raising her eyebrows.
There's a pause. He brushes some snow from her hair.
"Because I wanted to," he replies. He avoids her gaze. "Why do I need a reason?"
The ending is way too sugary for my taste, though. I really don't like the reindeer conversation or the underlying metaphor. Bah humbug.
