Rating: R for language and sexuality; M for Mature readers
Classification: Mulder/Scully, UST/MSR, AU
Archive: No archival until the story is completed, please. I'll be submitting to Ephemeral and Gossamer myself.
Spoilers: Through Two Fathers/One Son (S6), then AU. In other words, no Arcadia and beyond. Mytharc-y.
Disclaimer: All X-Files personnel belong to 1013 and Fox. All other elements are mine.
Author's Note: This was the first idea for an X-Files story that I ever had, and one that I believed had been lost forever, since the laptop the outline was on had been destroyed. However, early last summer I found a printed copy of what I'd written, misfiled with another story. The idea of the story began to work on my imagination, until I finally committed the time to writing it out. And so, here we are.
This is not a WIP. The last three sections are still being finalized, but it is complete. I'll be posting one part a day until it's completed. As I'm still figuring out where to put the section breaks, the 21 parts is an estimate. It may be more, but is not likely to be less.
Daily posts can be read on my fic journal
anjoufic as well as Ephemeral and other XF fic sites. The whole tale will be archived at my website, No Other … (maintained by the generous dtg), when it is completed.
As always, thanks to my sister and editrix, Suzanne, for her support.
Summary: Cast your memory back to the dark days of Season 6, to the period immediately following the confrontation between Mulder and Scully in the Gunmen's Office. It is late winter, dark and cold, the landscape obscured and transformed by snow and ice. One must step carefully, for the very ground can be treacherous. This is a lesson Mulder and Scully have already learned when the pristine snow in Antartica yielded a long-buried secret. But the winter can hold many secrets, and could tell many tales, if it so chose. This is but one.
