Half a Moon: 14 Days of Celebrating Women

These stories don't fit into any particular theme. Originally, I intended to post them for halfamoon so I am happy to get a second chance with the mini-moon. I also intended to write incisive "why you must read this" blurbs for each fic, but today was long, the week is short, and my brain is fried. So, a generic but heartfelt "Go forth and read, you will like these fics" will have to do.

Here are five recs from my AO3 bookmarks: Interstellar, Rizzoli & Isles, The X-Files (x2) and Deviations: The X-Files (comic)
