four years late, but this story is just amazing.

if you are not a writer by now...ill be surprised ;)

I read that a while ago and i was thinking to myself, when will this be updated. You know the plot line is totally believable...I say keep going?

I could explain a lot of Scully reservations...and Mrs. Scully for that matter.

My review is belated, and I apologize. This story never got the recognition it deserved. I printed this out some time ago and I've read it and re-read it and read it to friends. It's beautiful and insightful with the chord of melancholy that seems to echo throughout Dana's memories. Your talent is outstanding and this story left me speechless.

This is lovely and sad and creates strange painful echoes in canon. I like the take on young Dana, which is unusual but rings true, and the delicate sketch of the relationship between Dana and Melissa, envy and jealousy and love on both sides.

I LOVE IT. It completely ties in with the series. Your reasoning's perfect. This idea was great! I can't believe I didn't read it sooner. . Raven

This is genius! I swear this is INCREDIBLE! You are so awesome! I LOVE the image of Dana trying to be Melissa... so wonderfully genius, and I love how Missy stepped in to cover for Dana... you captured the whole sister vibe really really well. Thank you for a wonderfully deep, well-constructed story!

Oooh . . . Dark and angsty. I don't really agree with the premise, but I think you handled it very well.
