    Summary

    A year (more or less) in the life of Mulder and Scully as they cope with her cancer, the forces who gave it to her, and their growing feelings for one another.

    The title is taken from the sublime Florence and the Machine song “Too Much is Never Enough;” specifically, from the lines, “A year like this passes so strangely, somewhere between sorrow and bliss,” which summarizes this story better than I ever could.

    Summary

    She doesn’t remember coming to consciousness. She doesn’t remember opening her eyes. The first thing she remembers is sitting in the driver’s seat of a car, her hands resting on her lap.

    Summary

    That night beneath the city when Raoul’s hands clutched the noose at his throat in a desperate bid to breathe, while she pleaded with Erik through tears to spare his life-- it remained far too near for Christine’s comfort. And yet, Raoul had seemed to recover handsomely, both in body and in spirit. Her own convalescence had not unfolded in so tidy a fashion. It had been two months, and she had managed, with some success, to conceal the night terrors that still visited her with cruel regularity. Visions that returned again and again, unbidden, ever since she had watched the man she loved come so near to death.

    She was haunted still, unceasingly, by that masked face, those gloved, inhuman hands, that voice, that voice...

    No. Not today.

    Today, she must behave as though none of it had ever occurred. For Raoul’s sake, yes, but also for her own.

     

    Essentially a fluffy, angsty, mildly smutty fic about Christine and Raoul because I never see enough of them

    Summary

    At nine years old, Leia Organa is taken by the Empire. She expects to be a hostage, a bargaining chip to keep Alderaan in line. Instead, Darth Vader claims her—not for ransom, but for something else.

    A blood test reveals the truth: she is the daughter of Anakin Skywalker. And Vader is nothing if not possessive.

    He does not return her. He does not tell her everything. Instead, he makes his intentions clear—she will be trained. She will learn to survive, to fight, to wield power. And she will never escape him.

    By the time the Rebellion learns of her again, she is no longer the Princess of Alderaan. She is Vader’s Shadow, a force even he cannot control.
