Summary
“That’s mine,” Stratt says immediately when he finally catches up to her and offers up his cardigan. “Why do you have it,” she asks, kind of.
“Uh, no. This one’s mine, you klepto.” He takes her coffees from her with one hand but doesn’t let go of the cardigan just yet. Something about how tightly she’s grasping it makes his eye twitch. He really likes this one.
“First of all, this is a woman’s cardigan. I’ve owned it for ten years.” She yanks hard on the fabric and Grace’s elbow is forcibly extended when he doesn’t let go. “This is not yours.”
“Nuh-uh.” He yanks back. “I got this cardigan when we flew to London last April, remember? I lost your credit card? It has these elbow patches that make me look all academic and stuff.” He twists his elbows around to try and show her.
in other news:
Stratt and Grace fall into the habit of sharing clothes but they justify it in a really complicated way.

Summary
Grace doesn’t realize the first time it happens, nor any subsequent ones, that his memories are scrambled beyond the past and the present.
It’s years later, while he’s walking on Erid’s beach, that he knows he has overlooked something monumental.
Little by little, hundreds of fragmented pieces solve a puzzle he didn’t know he had, where vivid dreams and half-formed visions are more than daydreams and wistful thinking.
As he said before, “Up is down, left is right, xenon is a solid, aliens are real.”
Time is changeable, and the only way to move forward is to go back.

Summary
The guards look at each other, and then at Janet, who shrugs. They loosen their grip on their weapons and ease their stance. Sam takes them in. It wasn’t hard to push past these guards, and it probably wouldn’t be hard to push past a few more.

Summary
Will ends up killing the rest of his shift and half the next talking to her, discussing his favorite theories and shooting down some that he finds utterly ridiculous. They both have a nice long laugh over Freud before he gets bold and asks for her number. Helen shakes her head and presses her lips against his cheek, then his ear, and when she whispers her voice is low and husky and sends a chill down his spine.
“There’s no need to ring me, Will. I’ll always come back.”

Summary
Her heart was pounding in her chest. All she needed to do was say the words. It was just a possible solution to a crisis; it wasn’t as if she’d knocked him out and dragged him all the way to the altar. How hard could it be?
“They would leave you alone if we got married.”
Lane stared at her in complete shock, one hand now braced against the low back of her blue chair, his mouth open, eyes wide, and a blotchy flush creeping up from under his collar. “What?”
Joan felt heat rise in her face, but sat straighter in her chair. She cleared her throat, and kept her voice level. “We could get married. So you could stay.”

Summary
This is a series of meta (also posted on Tumblr— account name is fmluder24) that analyzes the ways Jews and Jewishness operate in The X Files, and how antisemitic tropes are woven into the show. The name is a reference to the book People Love Dead Jews by Dara Horn. Major TW for discussion of antisemitism and Jewish history. I also mention treatment of Native Americans and genocide in Chapter 1. Discussion of sexual violence and medical rape throughout.
The first chapter talks about the fetishization of the Holocaust in the early myth arc, and themes develop from there.

Summary
It should be the happiest time of Lt Col Samantha Carter’s life. She routinely explores alien worlds and is engaged to Detective Pete Shanahan the man who promised her what she craves — a normal life. But it causes friction between her and the other people in her life — especially between her and a certain general.
The friction increases when the shadowed past of Brig Gen Jack O’Neill intrudes in their lives. Ilse Lindeman might be from his past but she is all too present in the present. In the covert world they inhabit Ilse’s knowledge of the SGC and the base commander is all too unsettling for Sam.
As the tension brings change to Jack and Sam’s relationship, Sam must decide how badly she wants a normal life. When does making compromises turn into compromising who you are? Will their actions bring them closer together or drive them further apart? Their choices do not only affect their lives but also that of those closest to them.
