What a gorgeous gem of a fic. You have a real gift for bringing scenes to life in all their vivid detail- I can just about hear the waves, and I'm sitting in the mid-midwest right now- and the characters are just as clear. I'm not sure how to describe just what it is... on the show, the actors bring such amazing chemistry to their roles, the way they look at each other, the way small movements and subtle gestures can convey so much- that's what I see in this story, too, in things like the intimate gesture of Mulder tucking Scully's hair behind her ear, and the way they're able to communicate without words. And with words too- the whole conversation on the dock is marvelous, wonderful dialogue, and their voices are so distinct and so familiar. Thank you for sharing this- it's beautiful. :)
