Story 189 & 190: "Epiphany" by MaybeAmanda, and "How to Fly" by Oracle

It's a good thing we just got finished with an apocafic, because this year we're going to have two fics for Christmas and they're both sweet and generally happy little stories. Everyone is welcome to comment on both, or only one, in either order, at any time.

The first one is an AU season 9-ish fic in which Mulder and Scully spend Christmas together with their infant son. It's also probably the most homey, domestic fic I'm ever going to rec. *g* But don't let my Scrooge impression scare you off. It's nice, and there's an interesting little twist to Mulder and Scully's world, amidst all the domestic bliss.

Epiphany by Maybe Amanda

In the second fic, Mulder and Scully spend Christmas Eve stranded while on the road. It's set in any one of the early/mid seasons, and it's nothing complicated, just a sweetly romantic little vignette.

How to Fly by Oracle

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, and seasonal well wishes to all who don't.

See, I still have comment lines in my style

But can anyone read the comment lines I write?

This comment mess is most irritating.

Oh yeah, we're discussing a story.

It's been so long that barely remember reading the Brontés--any of them--but maybe the youthful enthusiams of our writer accounts for the references? It's hard for me to see any of those novels as holding any interest for Scully.

I'll have to go back and reread this story. I'm still in writing mode.

Yeah, and the Comment lines don't carry over like they used to do.

This beyond annoying, really. It's broken the comment pages for this entire community then. I'm beside myself.

In my head I was setting HTF in a later season (1)(I didn't read the author's note until after I finished the story). I thought the amount of emotion in Mulder and Scully's dialogue in the fic was too high for early seasons, when they were still relatively reserved around one another.

(1) After season 7, at least.
