Story 204: "El Quinto Sol" by Onemillionandnine

[wendelah1]

I'm feeling a wee bit obsessed with season seven at the moment. I already know what most people's favorite season seven story is (and don't get me wrong, I like "Parabiosis," too), but this one is mine.

Summary: An explanation of Mulder's sudden belief in "miracles." Arthur C. Clarke's second law in action. A bit of Mytharc in the guise of a case file. But in the end it's all about sex. Then again, what isn't?

I can't think of anything to add at the moment. The link is to her old site, now at reocities, but if you want to read an old-skool text file, the entire fic can be read or downloaded at onemillionnine's Author Page at Gossamer.

If anyone has suggestions, especially for season seven stories, feel free to leave them in the comments or the suggestion post. And good, bad, or indifferent, please let us know what you think.

Read "El Quinto Sol".

BTW, does anyone remember that Kel and a co-writer did something involving Norse myth personae years ago? Backtracking was the title.

Is that Bone of Contention, written with Michelle Kiefer?

there was a problem *caring* about it.

Oo, nail on the head.

It's horror novel stuff reduced to graphic novel images.

This is a great way of putting it. And I like graphic novels, and yet I still wanted more connect-y bits.

I do like the raw quality and the some of the antagonism between our Heroes. For me it becomes too much antagonism at times, to the point where I was grimacing as much as I was smiling (getting off on Scully's leg? Mm, no.),

No, as I said (without ital) the title was Backtracking and I think she wrote it with Scetti, who subsequently disappeared. (Kel, what did you do with the body? Ha, ha. Autopsy humor.) It was long, a bit of a beginner's piece (as I recall), with a whole lot of charm. It's at Gossamer.

OMAN also seems to have a thing about Mulder's penis (not in itself unusual, I guess). She thinks it is so huge as to make sex almost impossible and it induces premature childbirth in one story. Only our Mulder could have a big one that functions as a curse.

Since I brought up another OMAN title a few minutes ago, the name is Prestidigatation. I confused it with Persephone. Well, who wouldn't?
