Hi, my name is Amanda. Fran asked if I'd rec some stories. I said
I'd be honoured. I'm honoured. ;-)

I am a X-Phile/Mulderist/shipper/fic-addict. So, no hidden agendas
here, no vendettas, no smoke or mirrors - what I am is pretty much
what you get. <g>

Many of my favourites have already been covered elsewhere on this
site, and there's no way I could possibly include everything I have
read and loved. Here are a few stories you might not have run into
before, or which you might *really* need to read again:

+++++++++

Gold: (http://www.throwpots.com/gold.htm) by Dawn Pares
PG, MSR, V

Cancer-arc. Angst for all. Spare, beautiful writing. I get sniffly
every single time...

+++++++++

The Sin-Eater (http://www.throwpots.com/sineater.htm) by Jane
Mortimer
S, MSR, PG,

A classic tale of partnership, paradoxes, and the paranormal. One of
the first fics I ever read, and one I never hesitate to recommend.

Beyond Conception (http://www.throwpots.com/beyondconception.htm)
and
Desire (http://www.throwpots.com/desire.htm) by Alelou
Angst, MSR, PG13 and NC 17

Aside from a well-written, well-told story, you never quite know what
you are going to get with Alelou. These are two of my favorites.

Dinner at Eight
(http://www.geocities.com/pacquin2002/dinner_at_eight.html) by
Pacquin
Mutants are easy; comedy is hard. Pacquin takes all those tried and
true romantic screwball comedy cliches, applies them to Mulder and
Scully, and the results are delightful.

+++++++++

Two Such Men (http://www.geocities.com/horatio_fic/two_such_men.html)
by Horatio. V, A, post-ep, MSR, M/S/D friendship

The morning after The Truth, Doggett and Mulder discuss what's really
important. An adult look at a difficult situation. I love Horatio's
M&S, her Doggett, and her way with words.

+++++++++

Every Sparrow Falling
(http://www.acadiacom.net/steiner/text/sparrow.txt) by Alloway
Alloway takes the casefile, turns it upside down, shakes it a couple
of times, and then smacks it up-side the head for good measure. A
great, creepy read. And just try to get that song out of your head
after you've read it...

+++++++++

Vehicle and Tenor (http://www.throwpots.com/vehicle.txt) by Suture
PG13, V, Angst
Mulder stays with Gibson in the desert. Beautifully crafted,
lyrical, heart-breaking.
