|    Scully POV post-partum depression surpri    |
|    08 Jul 05 03:46:50    |
      From: fakeaddress@mindspring.com              Need help finding a story that was posted here, probably a       short one (and possibly dialogue-free), in which Scully has       post-partum depression but doesn't realize it. It would have       been posted in the last few years, anytime after "Requiem"       (I think the baby was William, but he may not actually be       referred to by name in the story.) The fic is told from       Scully's POV, in which a hungry monster has taken over her       home, one that always wants to eat and is always demanding       her time and always screaming and won't leave her alone.       The reader eventually figures out that this "monster" is       actually her own baby, but it isn't until the end of the fic       that Scully realizes she has a medical problem and needs help.       The revelation that the monster is her baby and that the fic       is about PPD is a *surprise*, which makes it hard to search       for the story, since these facts obviously couldn't be       revealed in the summary or keywords. ;-) (In fact, the word       "baby" may not have appeared anywhere in the fic.) Help?              For some reason, searching Google's newsgroup archive for       various combinations of "Scully", "home", "apartment",       "monster", "hungry", "hunger", etc. is not helping to       narrow things down. I can't imagine why ... ;-J              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
