| (M/S UST ** PG ** 11K) | |
| Queequeg's Rec: Gina's touching take on Mulder's feelings after Scully's return in "One Breath" might just make your throat tighten, too. Lovely and sweet. |
| Contrast |
| By Oracle (apollostemple@yahoo.com) | |
| In the space of only seven years... | |
| (V, A, ScullyAngst, UST, implied MSR ** PG ** 9K) | |
| Queequeg's Rec: The contrast between Scully's lonely past and contented future is poignantly depicted in this angsty yet hopeful vignette. |

| (SRA ** R ** 10K) | |

| Kroner |
| By DM (unruhe1121@hotmail.com) | |
| "He moves closer and whispers, "do I do it for you, Scully?" He glances down to my lips and a breath hitches in my throat. He licks his lips and continues, "do I flip your switch?" | |
| (V, R ** G ** 15K) | |
| Queequeg's Rec: Rain King is one of those episodes that shouts for post-eps, and DM delivers a nice look at Mulder and Scully's flight home. Their conversation and resolution takes a road somewhat less taken, which makes this story stand out. |
| Oil |
| By Eodrakken Quicksilver (eo@morosophy.com) | |
| A possession. A nightmare. A love story. A different point of view. Post-"Apocrypha". | |

| (MSR, X ** PG-13 ** 94K) | |
| Queequeg's Rec: Mulder tells Scully a twisted tale while on a stakeout in what itself is a twisted tale in the best sense of the word. |
| Deliver Me |

| Mulder finds a tiny little light in the dark, dark place between 'Elegy' and 'Demons.' | |
| (SA, M/S UST; Mulder Angst ** R ** 42K) | |
| Queequeg's Rec: This story provides layered insights into Mulder at the end of season four's high angst period when he finds comfort in an unlikely source. This scenario could easily have been unbelievable, but it's so realistic you almost think it happened, and you may wish that it had. |
| Deus Ex Machina |
| By Kelly Keil (klkeil@ameritech.net) | |
| Scully is adopted by a cat with an ulterior motive. | |
| (S, H, A, MSR ** R ** 36K) | |
| Queequeg's Rec: This is one of the most unique season seven stories out there. In it you'll find a cat with great characterization (and I normally don't like cats), a frustrated Scully, and a surprising end. |

| Scully is ready for a romantic holiday weekend and finds herself part of a strange threesome. | |
| (S, MSR ** R ** 20K) | |
| Queequeg's Rec: I'm still the most special dog to grace either of their lives, but Harold the dog does them good too in this sweet, funny story about pets and coming together. |
| The Mind of a Wolf |
| By Narida Law (narida_law@hotmail.com) | |
| Mulder and Scully from an observer whose ability to see extends beyond the limitations of the human eye. | |
| (VA, Mulder/Scully UST ** PG-13 ** 31K) | |

| One Fish Two Fish |
| By Rah (rahrahli@hotmail.com) | |
| Scully on maternity leave. | |
| (Angst, pregnancy, holidays, dead fish ** PG ** 33K) | |
| Queequeg's Rec: Rah writes a wonderful story capturing Scully's grief and clutches at independence and strength after Mulder's abduction using his fish as her anchor. Terrific. |
| Parabiosis |
| By Penumbra (penumbra23@hotmail.com) | |
| Science and Mysticism conjoin | |
| (S, MSR ** R ** 315K) | |

| Queequeg's Rec: I can only wish that I was as smart, cool, and kick ass as Laura's portrayal of me in this incredibly funny and unique story. |
| Queequeg Gets His |
| By Claire Kerr | |
| After Queequeg's death, Mulder and Scully experience some odd things. | |
| (SH ** PG ** 7K) | |
| Queequeg's Rec: Although definitely not what happened to me because I'm always a good dog, this story is a hilarious take on the Afterlife. |
| Spiders |
| By Beatriz Owl (bea_owl@runbox.com) | |
| "Look into the darkness, and tell me what you see." | |
| (Vignette, MSR, A smidgen of angst ** PG-13 ** 4K) | |

| Cartography, he had said of her once. | |
| (UST, A ** PG ** 35K) | |
| Queequeg's Rec: A couple of animals play at least a small role in this lush, beautiful story by amerella. The language, images, and themes in this story will probably take your breath away and make you wish for more. |
