Special thanks to Carol for quick and speedy beta.
Sallie, I hope you feel better soon!
This is my first attempt since 2004, and it's a short
one. I'm easing back into things. I hope you enjoy it.
It is a mystery to me why I find it impossible to
write WinterFic at any time other than summer.

"It was evening all afternoon. It was snowing and it
was going to snow. The blackbird sat in the cedar
limbs." Wallace Stevens, Thirteen Ways of Looking
at a Blackbird

- - -

Ribbons of smoke curl through peppermint air. Mulder
shivers, the creak of winter seeping into his bones
at dusk in December, with Scully five steps ahead in
the flurrying snow.

The trees stand in perfect rows, branches bowed with
the afternoon's snow. This is new, this glimpse of
spontaneity in the midst of what he considers to
be Scully's very structured life. He cannot remember
her ever shopping for a Christmas tree before.

"Which one, Scully?"

She pauses, looking back at him as if he's crazy.
"I'm not taking one with me. I just wanted to look."

At the entrance to the farm, fires blaze in several large
barrels, keeping the workers warm. Scully approaches,
stretching her fingers out before the flames. She
has a flush about her that he can't resist, and he
takes her by the hand, tugging her away from the fire.
This thing between them is still new and wild, and he
can't control it. He's not sure he wants to.

Earlier, she looked him in the eye and used the word
"farinaceous" in a sentence, curling her perfect lips around
the last syllable. He was struck anew by the iridescence of
her spirit, the parts of her that bind him unawares,
and the parts of him he recognizes in her. Scully
in an elemental sense, beyond her creamy skin and ocean eyes,
down to the spark of her being, the subtle press of her
psyche against his, truly is the most beautiful thing.

There are candy canes for the ride home. He drives with
one hand, maneuvering easily through the moonless night
as Scully licks her lips in his peripheral vision.

Her apartment is dark and warm, and there is no question
that he'll stay. It's an endless evening, and he's
melting with his hands on her body and her thoughts
tangling in his mind. Euphoric, this rise and fall.
He doesn't want it to end, an addict already.

He's fingerprinting her spine, licking his thumb and
pressing it to the base of her neck. In the turmoil
of grief, a hazy darkness, his ramshackle life, she
is there. Equinoctial, she separates the dark from
the light.

She brings him to his knees in the best possible way.
This way, with his stubbled jaw scraping her temple,
hands steadying her hips, cock deep inside her. This
way. The best way.

They are rough with each other, frenzied, biting, her
nails digging into his thighs as Mulder growls into
her ear, marking her neck.

Three months and he still can't believe it. He dreams
of these moments when he's alone and restless against
scratchy motel sheets, when he's squinting behind dark
sunglasses, and in a hundred little moments every day.
In the light, there's a logical, responsible reason
to pretend they've never given in. He knows, but none
of it matters when she's moving this way, arching
against him, sweat carving the small of her back, and
all he can think is 'mine.'

All too soon the alarm sounds and they're running late
again. Mulder is taking his time, shaving carefully,
swishing his razor under the running tap. Scully regards
him closely, pausing in the bathroom doorway. She is
already buttoned into her suit jacket, completely put
together. Mulder is shirtless.

She spent years waking alone, flushed from dreams of him.
Now here's the real thing, and she is utterly satisfied
with herself. Sleeping with Mulder has proven to be every
bit as fulfilling as she imagined. He does have a nice ass.

He smiles at her reflection in the mirror above the sink.
"Coffee on the way?"

She looks at her watch briefly and fidgets, adjusting a
button on her jacket sleeve. "If we leave in five minutes."

"Five minutes." He dries his face and reaches for his
shirt and tie, watching her as he buttons and straightens,
flips his collar. He's looping his tie when she takes the ends
away from him, easing the silk into a knot.

Her fingers glide across his lips, and he remembers his
hand moving between her legs the night before, her neck warm
beneath his mouth, and the realization that being able to
make love with the person who understands you better than anyone
else in the world is a rare thing, the best thing, and something
to celebrate.

Why I love Penumbra: Reason #957

2005-07-07T21:36:25Z

from Parabiosis by Penumbra

SPOILERS here, if that bothers you.

He must know for her sake. She is rare earth, rara avis, the quietest
place inside him.

He sees that the planet is battered and beautiful, an orb scorched and
flooded, lit by watch fires, a place where he has been stung by sea
monsters and healed by holy men. The place where Scully threw in her
lot with his, because she saw where others did not.

I don't think two people could have been happier than we were -

The ship lifts, spins. It will rise through the stratosphere, past the
dying sun and the reaches beyond, and he will believe.

I voted.

I've been seriously neglecting LJ for the past few weeks, and for that I apologize. I've had a ton of exams and I'm still learning how to manage my time now that I've got a shiny new distraction. ;)

Anyhow...
I checked the Spookys site, and everything still looks the same. FMFEO is supposed to be sponsoring the Companion Champion again, and I've emailed three times, but not heard anything at all. Anyone know what's going on with the voting this year?

I am way, way, way behind on fic reading. Way behind. Seriously. So, I don't have any new recs to give.
But, I'll say again (I obviously never grow tired of saying it)...
read Penumbra.

yet another fic snip

2005-01-21T15:40:32Z

This is how I spent my Christmas vacation. ;)
It was my goal to actually write and post Christmas fic this year, but I just couldn't swing it. Anyhow, now that school is in full swing once again, I'll have basically no time to write... plus I'm still trying to get over writer's block. So, here's the xmas fic snip (at least one part has been posted as a snip here before, but everything else is new).
And it contains a few naughty words.

- - -

"It was evening all afternoon. It was snowing and it
was going to snow. The blackbird sat in the cedar
limbs." Wallace Stevens, Thirteen Ways of Looking
at a Blackbird

- - -

Endless evening, and he's melting with his hands on
her body and her thoughts tangling in his mind.
Euphoric, this rise and fall. He doesn't want it to
end, an addict already.

He's fingerprinting her spine, licking his thumb and
pressing it to the base of her neck. In the turmoil
of grief, a hazy darkness, his ramshackle life, she

Ribbons of smoke curl through peppermint air, the creak
of winter seeping into his bones at dusk on Christmas
Eve, Scully five steps ahead in the flurrying snow.

Earlier, she looked him in the eye and used the word
"farinaceous" in a sentence, curling her mouth around
the last syllable. He was struck anew by the iridescence of
her spirit, the parts of her that bind him unawares,
and the parts of him he recognizes in her. Scully

else in the world is a rare thing, the best thing, and something
to celebrate.

- - -

In spite of her propensity for sleeping through anything, she suffers
from season-related insomnia. She can't rest in the midst of her
family and the smothering rush of Christmas cheer. Rather, she
walks her mother's house deep in the night, pausing to warm her
toes at the fire.

Mulder is near but off-limits, and this makes her long to feel
him again, to run her fingers under his lapels
and slip him out of his best charcoal Armani. Though she has
gone a significant number of years without it, sex now
seems absurdly necessary. She was hooked after just one try.

As if he can still feel her thoughts (and who's to say he can't?),
he appears in the doorway, sleep-tousled hair spiking in every
direction, his elegant toes scrunching into the carpet as he
reties the drawstring on his polar bear pajama pants.

"Scully," he says, sandpaper voice in the lamplight, "come to
bed."

He doesn't mean it the way that it sounds, but she can't help
her flush of desire to be touched. He doesn't say a word as she
comes to him, taking his hand and leading him to her room. God,
it's risky, but she just can't help it. She has loved Mulder for
years, probably longer than even she realizes, but the discovery
of this new side of him, of what his long fingers and thick cock
can do, makes her want him with a ferocity she has never known.
