I'd like to rec How to Fake an Orgasm (http://home.early.com/~salmone/howtofake.txt) by V. Salmone (Punk and Sab).
It's a lovely, happy fic set in some alternate season six where Mulder goes on a string of serial dates, only to unexpectedly settle down with one of them. It eventually does end up as Mulder/Scully, but when I first read it I genuinely thought it wasn’t going to. Partly because neither Mulder nor Scully’s feelings are overt, partly because Sue (Mulder’s girlfriend) isn’t treated like a stand-in for Scully.
M & S seem happier? more well-adjusted? than they do in most fics, which I enjoy, because I don’t want to believe that they were “all angst, all the time.” I’m curious about others' opinions on this subject though - is the fic too happy?
