I'm linking to the post at Archive of Our Own, but the story is at Gossamer under Salmone, V. if you prefer text files. It's easy to hit that kudos button, but you can leave a comment, too.

This is kind of a crazy week for me, but I'll get back to the nomination queue for next time, I promise.

Read How to Fake an Orgasm.

I have nothing well-thought out to say. I enjoyed reading the story again, and liked all the details (mostly mentioned already) - Scully's phone calling Mulder's, the banter, Mulder's pisces discussions with both women, the jersey devil girl. For my third time reading it, I think I was able to 1) let go of my trouble believing in the 'Mulder dating frenzy' (not that I believe in it more, but I just didn't let it get in my way as much) and 2) believe a little more in the transition Mulder makes from Sue to Scully. I think previously I had trouble with him going from 'lighting up like a Christmas tree' (paraphrasing) around Sue to being kind of annoyed with her. Mulder lighting up like a Christmas tree because of Sue was a stretch (for me) in the first place, and then how the magic faded is not entirely clear to me. I get that it's to do with Scully and her jealous-flirting but I still feel like I'm missing something there. Regardless of that, it was fun to read and probably one of the few mulder/other stories I can really say I enjoy.
