I'm glad you posted this. Lovely and sad, but a bittersweet sort of sad because ultimately Scully is ok, Mulder is ok, and William is (presumably) ok.
The daydreams were lovely little slices of family life that were sweet without being saccharine (which is the primary reason I usually avoid kidfic.) I found myself nodding along as I read, thinking yeah, it could have been like this. Why wasn't it like this? Out of all the things that made little sense in seasons 8-9, Mulder abruptly leaving to go on the run is at the top of my list. Followed very closely by Scully choosing to give William up for adoption. Yes, certainly the best way to keep your targeted-by-cultists, possibly alien-powered child safe is to foist him off onto two people who have absolutely no idea what they are getting themselves into. I wish they'd handled Duchovny's absence better, I wish they'd exited Mulder and Scully together at the end of season 8, hell, I wish they'd ended the show with Requiem.
