Story 218: "An Influence of Stars" by JET

[wendelah1]

I didn't think it had been that long since I last posted here, but I see LiveJournal has changed the posting format. Again. Well, I guess we'll see how it goes. It looks like I have to insert my own paragraph breaks now. Lovely. Or maybe I can't make them at all?

This story was suggested by estella_c. It has a holiday component; however, merry it's not. But it's jetfic so it's well-written, original, poignant, etc.

Summary: "When stars are in the quiet sky, the most I pine for thee," —Edward Buward Lytton. Or Mulder and Scully at bedtime. Overall, it's less smutty than it sounds. (Sorry)  

Category: Oddness, M/S. Post-ep For a Good Portion of Season Seven in Fewer Than 13 Pages With Less Than a Point Than Usual.

Spoilers: Yes, through "All Things."

The author is still on LiveJournal so you can pm her feedback. I believe her email is current. The link is to her old site, waybacked, but this story is also available at Gossamer under Jesemie's Evil Twin.

Let us know what you think and please keep the suggestions coming.

Argh! Totally meant to come back to this but, yes, RL really did run away with my free time. This is a great story and I'm surprised it received such a small response as well. December is a crazy month for many (myself included), which may be a reason for the lack of participation.

but sometimes I feel lost in the words

I can see this, yes. There are a few fic authors that I love but will run into this issue with their stories every once in a while, which can be distracting, especially when a particular story starts off that way. I may need to reread the beginning several times before it sinks in, as if I entered a conversation that was already in progress and I'm trying catch up.

You have a lot on your plate. December was insane for me, too.

I hope we get people back this month.
