Chez Gwyn: La Maison Fanfic

Chez Gwyn: La Maison Fanfic was the fanfic and essays site of Gwyneth Rhys. It included rants and background information for her fanfic as well as links to other sites and fanfic recommendations.
==The Magnificent Seven==
Pilgrim Heart. During a range war, Vin and Chris discover what it means to belong—both to a place, and to one another. Novella-length and in one part.
==The X-Files==
The Book of the Dead. I really don't know how to classify this other than to say it's experimental. The five major characters, not really doing anything. All I can say is, read the warning at the top of it and see if you want to proceed.
x = y. A gen Mulder/Scully story, about the equations and geometry of the heart.
Twilight. Skinner's past and future collide, bringing him face to face not just with guilt and grief, but with a world where second chances are possible.
Let Go, I'll Catch You. Another one of those spare vignettes I seem to keep coming up with lately, without having any idea what they're about or how to describe them.
Not My Cross to Bear. Gen, Skinner/Scully. Not really a story so much as a vignette. Just doodling, I guess.
That's What Stars Are For. Skinner's vacation takes an X-Filian turn when he must call Mulder in to assist on an oddball case, but the situation does bring with it some perks. Sappily romantic; may cause tooth decay.
Wish You Were Here. When plans for a weekend go awry, Mulder and Skinner find themselves stuck with each other. Very short and very silly.
Broken-Hearted Savior. Gen, Skinner/Scully. Closing a case brings Skinner and Scully together, forcing them to face their true feelings and confront the obstacles, both personal and professional, they've created for themselves. Another novella, in two parts:
Part 1: Crossroads | Part 2: The Damage Done
Something Like Grace. Same universe as Strange Weather, very different world. Mulder tries to put all the recent traumatic events of his life into perspective, and to find his place in Skinner's life—while Skinner has no idea how to fit Mulder into his own, or whether he should. More repressive guyhood and inarticulate longing; novella-length and in one part.
Surrender Dorothy. An electronic epistolary story. Utter fluff and nonsense.
Strange Weather. Investigating a series of events in Baltimore, Mulder is driven closer to Skinner, who rebuffs him at every advance. Repressive guyhood, misery, inarticulate longing, and the confines of their jobs keep them going back and forth. This story is novella-length and in one part.
Immergence. A visit to confer with Mulder before a hearing on the death of John Lee Roche leads to more than Skinner planned. Originally published in the zine Homosapien 5, 1997, still available (contact through e-mail) from the editor, Julie "Julien" Bozza
==The Professionals==
Careful What You Wish For. A novella in two parts. Doyle wants Bodie and he gets him... but that's where the trouble begins. Now he stands to lose everything he cares about, including Bodie and CI5. (First published by Deathless Pros Press, 1995.) Includes both: Part I: Like a Thief to Silver & Part II: Worthless Currency
Be My Valentine. Bodie hates holidays, and everyone knows it. So who's sending him gifts of love? A comic confection, sweeter than my usual. First published in the zine Nudge Nudge, Wink Wink 4; Manacles Press.
Fit To Be Tied. Can the lads survive hours of togetherness—too much togetherness? A comic look at what happens when Bodie and Doyle get too close. (First published by Deathless Pros Press, Close Quarters, 1996.)
These Things Do Not Remember You. Doyle is barely hanging on after Bodie's death, and putting himself in danger in the line of duty. Is he suicidal, as his colleagues think, or simply unable to function without Bodie, his other half? This is a death story. (First published 1997, Guilty Pleasures by the Media Cannibals.)
Aftermath is a novel set against the backdrop of a bombing case, where Bodie and Doyle learn about chance, choices and life-changing revelations. I'd still like to wish it into the cornfield, but the masses have spoken, so here it is! (First published: Deathless Pros Press, 1995.)
I wrote this long before I had access to Brit-checkers; I apologize in advance for flagrant Americanisms.

==Rants and Essays==
Gwyneth Rhys's rants and essays page also contains a little about her history in the fandom, and can be accessed here at drizzle.com/.
* a really big-ass rant against archive mania In which I hold forth on people who think it's okay to take your stuff off your site and put it on theirs without asking, and the utterly bizarre notion some fans have that a link or a rec *takes up bandwidth*, and they haven't got a clue what that even means.
* Slash without the slash a ramble on how I finally came to understand het slash. What the hell is that? you may ask. Well, I did too for a long time. Straight, or het, slash is a term I've heard people use for a while, but I never understood it. This is as good a theory as I can muster.
* Macho man a rant about how fanfic wussifies Skinner. Is Skinner the most manly man on television? A lot of people think so. Then why do fanfic writers keep turning him into a closet snugglebunny?
