Call of the Void

Mrs. Paddock in Buffy terms probably counts as a type of vengeance demon that answers to other demons and not humans making wishes.
This one might definitely become a series, but that’ll be later down the line.

Fun thing I had to double-check for Giles: he’s also Oxford-educated, so there’s a little easter egg for you.
finished writing this at 11:57 so that's. a thing.
i think the 'paperwork's a bitch' line is a play on 'payback's a bitch' but who knows mulder's mind.

Amor fati

someone lazy actually dressed up as the football mascot, but added claws because they thought it’d be funny. ‘razorbacks’ doesn’t get to be funny in sunnydale.
Surprise Amy was a surprise for everyone, including me.
Relevant quote from when I was looking for a title for this chapter from Dr. Iskra Fileva in “Psychology Today”: “For in sharing darkness, however terrible, we are not alone.” (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-philosophers-diaries/202006/despair)
title from Nietzsche referencing “great pain making us more profound”, but it’s also a loving and embracing fate thing and is therefore kinda ironic with Mulder (or, honestly, Scully here)

Warning: canon-typical violence/death.

( because that's what humans do, bring light to the darkness, ever since we learned how to start fires )
