Rating: Explicit

Dr. Dana Scully is a last minute replacement amongst the crew of the first human colony on Mars. Dr. Fox Mulder, fellow scientist and crew psychologist, is immediately intrigued.

My notes:

Amazingly well researched AU about Mulder and Scully being among the first pioneers to colonize Mars. Mix in some suspense and some will they won’t they space sex and you’ve got the perfect AU.

And when you’ve stopped running we’ll rest

Daniel and Vala’s grown child carries the crystal back in time, and then has to figure out how to belong in our world. Unending AU. D/V. OC. All the team is there.

He also interested to see how things play out between her and a certain archeologist.

Smidge of J/S.

My notes:

Really well-paced and has excellent mission storylines. I love the premise of Vala being drawn into the fold right after Prometheus Unbound by Hammond. I always thought we never got to see enough of Vala and the way she so seamlessly integrated into SG-1. I love how this slight venture into AU territory makes the beginning... Read more
