Sorry I'm late. I've had a few server troubleshooting disasters between real life drudgery, but it's still Wednesday, so technically I'm not overdue for the humpday short fic.

This is a Bridesmaid!Scully story from Shelby. She hasn't credited anyone else for the cover so I'm assuming that's her work too. She's rated it R, but I'd probably put it more at a PG-13 level, so it's got both ratings here. I'm too exhausted to write more, so just go read it.
