Story 200: "a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" by zauberer_sirin

Gosh, look at that startlingly large number in the heading! It appears that our little (but oh-so-tenacious) community has reached its two-hundredth fic.



Cheers everyone!

I must say, I’ve been adoring you guys’ recommendations even more than usual lately. There have been a few fics I am particularly fond of come up, including a very recent rec by littlegreen42, which I am going to pounce on immediately like a cat on a jubilant grasshopper. It was written in the pre/post IWTB era, making it relatively new by this fandom’s standards. It’s short – but with an endearingly long title – and the prose has an idiosyncratic sort of poetry about it. Ultimately, I think the author herself sums it up best when she says, These are not all the ways and whys and hows Mulder loves Scully, just some. In reverse.

I would say he handles himself well despite all that. He is energetic, determined, focused, and pretty funny at times.

He does handle himself well, but that doesn't mean he's completely emotionally healthy on the inside. A lot of people can seem outwardly fine, but not be so in their own minds. I think it's a misconception that, because someone seems confident, or because they joke around, then they couldn't possibly be depressed or insecure, or whatever.

Well sure. I imagine one of the great draws of writing fanfic is inventing inner lives for the characters, since in real life we have to guess. Frankly, I'm still guessing (occasionally) about David Duchovny's inner life.
