The interstitial fic is Recovery by Ten. The show leaps right from Mulder's medical crucifiction in Amor Fati to his return to field agent status in Hungry with only his weed wacked hair cut the only clue to his brain surgery. Recovery shows the steps along the way. Just how did Scully get Mulder out of the ersatz DoD 'hospital?' What did his recovery entail? How did they cope? Recovery fills in this time period with a well written consistent explanation.

Craving more of Scully's pregnancy, the why's and wherefores? These well written stories get a standing OVAtion from me:

 

After Mulder's assertion in the Season 4 episode Home, that the Mulder's pass genetic muster, Mulder and Scully discuss genes, genetics and.... This is more discussion then we see in Per Manum. Certainly such a serious topic deserves serious consideration. This story does it.

What did Mulder think when Scully asked him to be the father of her child? Surely he gave it some serious thought. All but one of these vignettes listed below cover this territory. They are all at Gossamer.

An amazing sweet, light treatment of Mulder's attempt at sperm donation. Scully rises to the occasion and so eventually does Mulder. Bet the Bureau never envisioned their cell phones being used like this!

Great Mulder!Think. At least the Mulder I would like to think exists- you know, the one who cares deeply about Scully. The intelligent, ironic word play we've come to expect from Mulder. The thoughtful consideration we didn't see in Per Manum. A serious Mulder and a careful Scully do a tentative tip toe around the topic.

An emergency cell phone intervention to facilitate procreation. Whew! Bet Scully could say that in one breath! Uses takeoffs on dialog we have heard these characters say but in a different context.

Mulder profiles his partner. How did she decide to ask Mulder? Strong believable dialog. What we haven't seen on the show is this sort of frank exchange. It could happen-but it's been left to fanfic authors like Ms. Ocks who do it so much better than CC ever has. The ova are offstage for this scene, but central to this discussion. The dialog is bang on. I can just hear Mulder saying these phrases, working to convince Scully that she will find a way.

Scully's turn. What was Scully thinking? Despite her faith, it 's Mulder who believes in miracles. This story expands on Mulder's line 'never give up on a miracle' in Per Manum.
