Awww, thank you! I never actually watched XF, but I did love every moment of Fringe, which I'm always told is XF-ish. And there were so many grand stories in this exchange that I'd wish I'd written, including yours, so trust me, I totally understand where you're coming from! :)

You can tell Natasha always gets compared to Scully. One day, she's going to meet Gillian Anderson in person and just glare at the woman and it will be terrifying for GA. ;) Thank you for such lovely, lovely compliments! I had a great time mixing the mythology and the canon, so I'm happy people loved it! I'll be putting it on AO3 and creating an ebook for e-reading, too, so you'll be able to find it in one spot for rereads and whatnots.
