I thoroughly agree with this post (which I suppose is taking the easy way out). "Lucky" is a tragic story with a happy core, which is what touches the heart. The fantasies of what might have been are both a gift and, perhaps, a curse. It reminds me of the Khyber duo in which the captured and drugged agents somehow dually create a magical, romantic existence. (Names? Forget it. I think one was called "Where I End and You Begin." The story was made of dreams.)

Scully will never give up William. She considers that a blessing. I love how she keeps her wedding ring on the same chain as her cross.

I approve of changing canon when a writer so wishes. So I love stories about William. Penumbra's "Fathoms Five" is an excellent example, though William is almost used as a compensation to Scully for a dreadful personal fate. It is a monumental achievement in our fandom world.

I am not fond of the cancer arc, but I'm reject no good fiction just for of its subject.
