Anjoufic

Hello Everyone!

Edits have been made throughout the text of A Winter's Tale. Nothing structural has occurred, just tweaking here and there.

The entire text should be going up in the next couple of days at my website No Other .... I've sent my patient and generous webmistress dtg an html file as well as a text file, which means that the whole shebang can be printed off more easily, should you so desire.

Thanks for all of the support and enthusiasm for A Winter's Tale. I really do appreciate it.

Now, I'm off to focus on The Ghosts in the Field.

Thanks again,

Anjou

Author's Note: Tomorrow's final posting may be delayed to either late in the evening EST, or until Monday the 14th. It can't be helped – I'm afraid this weekend has turned out to be far more hectic than I had planned. Sorry!

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.

Author's Note: Here we are at Part 20! I guess I'll really have to finalize Parts 22 and 23 now. And when I finish writing, I'll start answering feedback.

After I take a long nap.

Author's Note: I've been really swamped by real life this week, so my apologies if I haven't thanked you for your feedback. I will get to it, and soon!

This is a short entry, but I promise you that this is the last short one. The next few sections are all long, but this was the logical breaking point.

Thanks so much for going on this ride with me. I'm holding firm to finishing posting by Sunday, January 13th.

Author's Note: It's pretty definite that this story will be 23 or 24 parts. I'm hoping to get it off to final beta in the next couple of days, and will have a better idea by then.

Author's Note: From some of the e-mails I've been getting, I guess that I should have put an angst warning on this story. This is a winter's tale, meant to be told when the nights are dark and long. It is my imagining of part of the heroes journey for Mulder and Scully, and the heroes journey is always fraught with peril. But in my world, a hero is defined by how they transcend what has been done to them. And I believe in triumph.
