Amish Country by Lolabeegood

80,000 Words

Amish Country cover

A serial rapist on the loose in Amish Country causes Mulder and Scully to go undercover and test the limits of their relationship.

Lola rates it an 'R'; it felt more explicit to me, so I've marked it as both.

As I move away from the brief UK theme, of course the fic I'm posting happened to have come about from conversations had during a trip to Scotland. I don't actually know where Lola's from, apart from her English spelling.

I've gone off on a tangent there; this story obviously has nothing to do with England or Scotland. Our intrepid agents are sent undercover, as a married couple, into an Amish community in Ohio. As usual, intense things happen, they respond, and they even solve the case. 🙂  Another fabulous story from Lolabeegood.

Hard Day’s Night (A) and MPV by frogdoggie

A Hard Day's Night / MVP cover

A Hard Day's Night: ‘A boy’s night’ out forces Fox Mulder to deal with his real feelings regarding Dana Scully.

MPV: Scully and Mulder have yet another fascinating adventure in Wisconsin involving a flat tire, a motel and the Green Bay Packers.

It's been a doggie themed week, finishing today  with more frogdoggie. It's  celebration of Pants-Free Day today, and Mulder forgets an important part of his wardrobe. Sadly he doesn't leave his apartment though, that would have been something to see... *goes off to search her fic library for stories of Mulder forgetting to wear any pants to the office*

I've uploaded the underlying image from this cover (and a few others) to the top-secret "Under the Covers" gallery. The password to view the adults-only smut gallery is "smut".   Well, I had to make it something I'd remember...

Werewolf Chronicles + Standin’ at the Crossroads by Frogdoggie

108,000 Words

Werewolf Chronicles cover

WCI: Wisconsin Death Trip: Mulder and Scully travel to Wisconsin to investigate some cattle mutilations. Their discovery of the cause behind the mutilations soon proves to be something very terrifying. This is a horror story.   !CW: rape (Mulder)

Standin' at the Crossroads: Mulder, Scully and Skinner travel to Maine on a case that proves to be a very dangerous and then deadly, X-File.

WCII: Not With a Whisper: Mulder and Scully revisit some familiar Wisconsin friends and then confront some familiar foes as well in this wide ranging X-File adventure. The story takes the Mulder-Scully relationship to one possible conclusion too.

Sometimes authors cause me to make decisions. I'm crap at making decisions, but after much thought, I bring you a frankenfic of The Werewolf Chronicles with "Standin' at the Crossroads" in the middle. It's not that they don't go in series, it's that there's a thematic difference. They're all horror stories with dark forces though.  If your head has been taken to a different place during the second story, you're welcome to go back and read just the two Werewolf Chronicles stories.

"Wisconsin Death Trip" has some disturbing scenes, so be prepared. "Standin' at the Crossroads" sees Skinner getting a workout  with a former flame, not entirely within his control, leaving Mulder and Scully to save them all, as only they can. Frogdoggie often has a soft spot for Frohike in his stories, and "Not With a Whisper" sees Frohike getting some action as the Werewolf Chronicles are brought to an end. All three stories contain dubcon elements, so proceed with caution.

This was the cover I originally made for Standin' at the Crossroads before I combined the stories. Some artistic license has been used, mainly because it was originally the cover I'd made for "El Quinto Sol" before I dug up the original dustjacket for that story. I've run out of fics to use it for right now. 🙂

Twisted by mimic117

Twisted (mimic) cover

During tornado season, an unusual number of people  are being killed in spite of the warning system. But before  they can find out who is causing the deaths, Mulder and  Scully need to discover how these people are dying.

Mimic117 is another writer I adore, both for her writing and her advice to me with regards to rescuing old archives and websites. I particularly love her Scully in this fic.

While Mimic wanted to write a straight case-file here, I'm glad she added some smut-lite - I can't imagine that the story would be so perfect without that and the smattering of humour that kept me wanting more. Which reminds me, I've had a particular series of Mimic117's that I've wanted to upload forever but haven't had a chance to re-read yet; I must get onto that.

This is another story featuring Special Agent Mike Thomas introduced in  “Flights” and “Faith” by Suzanne Bickerstaffe, posted last week.

Blackwood I & II by Susan Garrity

15,000 Words

Blackwood cover

An important section of the  (then) upcoming movie, (FTF) from the author’s point of view.

This fic, bestowed with Fight the Future's working title, was written before FTF screened, with a few late additions once "The End" and the movie preview aired. Alas, Mr Carter decided to take them on a slightly different course.

Anther one that didn't fit with the tags. I decided near enough was good enough.

Scully’s Dilemma Series by Romp

43,000 Words

Scully's Dilemma cover

SCULLY'S DILEMMA: An interagency office briefing on a series of cases involving anal probing stirs strange fantasies in Scully. In order to get to the “bottom” of Scully’s suspicions about having been anal probed, she and Mulder must get very up close and personal.

MULDER'S TAIL: A case involving a unique sexual practice causes Mulder to reflect on his first encounter with bondage and domination. Meanhwile, a mysterious older woman offers to be Scully’s sexual mentor.

KRYCEK'S GAME: Krycek has information Dana Scully desperately needs. What is she willing to wager to get it?

SCULLY'S INSTRUCTION: Scully gives in to her submissive side.

SCULLY'S RELEASE: Scully finally gives in to her fantasy of performing at the strange club known as “The Menagerie.” Unexpected consequences ensue, forcing her to consider confronting Mulder about the true nature of her feelings.

This series is very different to the usual stuff I post here. Yes it is MSR, but it takes a few detours and includes a few other characters. It does end up in the right place though.

Romp should possibly have considered the name Rump due to their obvious fetish here, but I'm not going to kink-shame, just give you a bit of a heads up as to what you're getting into. There is a lot of humour in it.

In "Krycek's Game": "Scully felt something sickening in the pit of her stomach. Dear God, were there really men out there who had nothing better to do with their time than manufacture fake nude photos of her?"

OK, I'm not a man so Scully can't be talking about me, but it's true. ? Tragically I have nothing better to do with my time, so there are also a few extra images included in the PDF & ePub versions that I've put over on the hidden "Under the covers" page at x-trash. (The password is "smut").  You can use them to make your own calendar if you're so inclined. 😀

I've also had difficulty tagging this. I apologise if I've missed anything important. There is some past Mulder/Phoebe, and some slashesque Scully/Other.

Trilogy Series by Alanna

27,000 Words

Trilogy Series cover
  • LAUGHING: A celebration of life.
  • ALEGRIA: A celebration of happiness.
  • INSIDE:A chaise-longue and a dream.
  • BURN: Inflaming of hearts and minds.
  • MILLION: The many sides of a person.
  • SEMANTICS: Memory is subjective and fallible.
  • PHOTOS:  Ringfic.  I admit it.  But with a slightly different twist.
  • SCARS: Fires cannot destroy the scars of experience.
  • OUTSIDE: A sequel to Inside
  • POSITIVE: The creation of life.

Some of the vignettes are post-eps for various Season 5 episodes.

I've always been a fan of Alanna's writing. It took me a few attempts to put all these stories into the right order, so hopefully I have it now. The stories were referred to along the way as part of a universe but were then gathered together on Alanna's website as the "Trilogy" series. Alanna using different names along the way didn't help matters. The series runs though a range of emotions as their relationship progresses.

Unfortunately the original image for this series didn't get saved to the wayback machine.

 

Now You See Him by Mimic117

Now You See Him cover

Be careful what you wish for—you might get it.

Some light-hearted angst as Scully has to cover for another of Mulder's predicaments and help him solve it...

Fair is Fair by Jamie T

Fair is Fair cover

Can men and women live by the same social rules?

The office air conditioning is broken. The predictable* happens. 😉 Really just an excuse for smut. I'd love to see more stories about the things that smoke detector captured...

Most of Jamie's collages and artwork survive to this day at whispersofx.net. We owe her a huge debt of gratitude not just for her own stories, but for the treasure trove of smut she has served to us for over two decades. 🙂  Just remember that when you gloss over the "Take me, Fox..." part.

*What's predictable for normal platonic co-workers doesn't apply with M&S.

Time for some culture... these stories are an absolute pleasure to read. They are canon compliant so I thought it made sense to assemble them in episode order. They're listed alphabetically on Anne's website. The order in which they were written skips back and forth a bit.

There will be other stories related to this series released later this week. 🙂

Birthday Blues by Donnilee

10,000 Words

Birthday Blues cover

Mulder takes advantage of his birthday to manipulate Scully into a little hanky panky.

Donnilee delivers once again with this incredible gift to the fandom for Mulder's birthday.  Poor Mulder's had a bad day... there's only one room at the motel, it's raining, he gets all Scully's clothes saturated... Eventually something has to go right 😉

Additional artwork by Sara Marsten

Unexpected Bedfellows by Invisigoth421

7,400 Words

Unexpected Bedfellows cover

Mulder and Scully wake up in bed together… and have no idea how they got there.

A special bonus fic for Mulder's birthday. This is just a silly, fun one, with Moose & Squirrel bickering over the state they found themselves in. I also like an excuse to get Mulder (and Scully) naked... even if it's only in photoshop...

There'll be a smuttier birthday fic for tomorrow's release. If you're one of those people who like to open presents early you can click on the "Mulder's Birthday" tag in the box above and it will display all the birthday stories, including tomorrow's. 🙂

Sin Eater (The) by Jane Mortimer

8,500 Words

Sin Eater cover

Scully disappears into a mysterious vortex and Mulder makes an unbelievable sacrifice.

There is a touch of Dreamland foreshadowing with this evocative, classic MSR fic, written in 1996.  It's only rated PG-13 but still gives quite the mental stimulation. 🙂

X-Files Christmas (An) by Fatcat

14,500 Words

An X-Files Christmas cover

Scully and Mulder are trying to make it back to DC for Christmas, but the most unexpected thing happens.

When Mulder and Scully were unable to get a flight back to DC, they set off by car. Who could possibly have imagined that they'd be sidelined by the weather, and forced to stay in the only room available?

Some slightly fluffy, slightly mushy, and more than slightly tropey Christmas fic from Fatcat.

Scene of the Crime by Donnilee

6,500 Words

Scene of the Crime cover

Mulder reacts to a Scully outfit and starts an emotional avalanche.

 

I'm a sucker for the decoy!Scully trope, and this fic is an all-time favourite. Mulder's tongue can't help itself when faced with Scully's under-dressed cleavage, and to be totally honest, even as a straight woman  I can appreciate the temptation that naked Scullyboobs would present.  Slight dubcon (but not unwanted) Mulder!tongue action.

Light from Shadows by Writergal2000

79,000 Words

Light From Shadows cover

Waking up in a deserted park in the middle of the night, Mulder's mind is a blank. As he and Scully struggle to put the pieces of his memory together, evidence builds into a criminal case against Agent Mulder. While the partners search for the truth, Mulder begins to doubt his own innocence.

(I know, reminiscent of Demons, but too great an episode not to parallel.  This is different in its own right -- trust me.)

!Content Warning: There are quite detailed descriptions of sexual assault by or of Mulder, (depending on the POV).

It's not hard to think of Demons when the story begins, but it soon takes you to a whole 'nother place.  Mulder has a hard time fighting accusations against him, not knowing how much of it's true. But, honestly, either Mulder needed a better lawyer or I watch too many true crime shows. 😉

Like a Turtle on its Back by Jo-Ann L

25,000 Words

Like a Turtle cover

After several blows to his male ego, Mulder begins to question the equilibrium of his relationship—both professional and personal—with Scully.

Poor Mulder feels emasculated and tries to be one of the boys. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Truth (The) by Eponine119 & Jessica Taylor

114,000 Words

Truth cover

Mulder & Scully, undercover as a couple on a honeymoon cruise. This story riffs off just about every fanfic cliche we could think of.  We did this on purpose, and hopefully it will be obvious we wouldn't have been able to write this if we didn't love fanfic enough to have read lots and lots of stories over the past few years.  It's also very long. We hope it's amusing enough to justify both of these things - it sure cracked us up!

This is the cruise fic to end all cruise fics. Actually, this could be the tropey fanfic to end all tropey fanfics.

The first time I read this story I think I was a little impatient to get to the RST, and completely missed so much of the journey. The UST goes well past any healthy person's frustration levels, but bear with it and just try to enjoy the wild ride.

While Mulder and Scully are undercover on a honeymoon cruise for couples who postponed their wedding 3 or more times, they're subjected to Julie from the Love Boat and the indignity of many couples seminars before accidentally getting married  and becoming living legends. I don't have enough tags to do this story justice, (although admittedly I left a couple off and I have to force myself to stop typing now so I don't spoil everything in it. ) It's also funny how prescient some of their humorous suggestions are. For those of us who love a good fanfic trope, this is the holy grail.

There is a second image for this one, which I believe was made by eponine119.

Bates Witch (The) by Xenith

16,000 Words

Bates Witch cover

Mulder falls afoul of a witch's curse while investigating the mysterious death of a scuba diver in swim fins and tank, found unscorched in the middle of a burned out meadow, miles from water.

Another PG fic to help balance things out a little 😉  This one's still full of MSR/UST when Mulder isn't being an ass. And it's always fun to torture Mulder in every way possible.

Damn Desk by SamIAm

4,300 Words

Damn Desk cover

I: Maggie needs some help moving a few things. Discoveries ensue.

II: Mulder annoys scully and she gets revenge

III: Scully raises the revenge stakes. Some naked antics ensue.

Whilst this may not be a literary classic, I remember having to chase down parts of this fic so I'm posting it here in its entirety for the hump day PWP. Unfortunately it seems that Sam's muse was feeling rather contrary when she wrote this, and it turned out to be PWPWP.

Anyway, if you're after some OOC mindlessness involving some friendly competition between our agents, this should be about 15 minutes worth.

Barnyard Series by Dark Nascent

49,000 Words

Barnyard Cover

The complete Barnyard Series

  • Lambs to the Slaughter: Your strongest enemy is one who has nothing left to lose. You know how important Agent Mulder is to the equation. You don't want to turn one man's fight into a crusade. Excuses, excuses.
  • Said the Spider to the Fly: The truth about Samantha Mulder. Or: Nascent develops her split personality.
  • From Ass to Zebra: Okay. So what if, like, Vince Gilligan was me, and I was Vince? I am he, and he is me, and we are all together! Step aside, Vinzeno. Let D.N. show you how it's DONE.
  • Cockfighting: Guess
  • Swine of the Prodigal Son: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday's gonna be all right.
  • Cattle Chutes:  You remember that game "Chutes and Ladders?" If not, you're old. I bet Mulder and Scully play really well.
  • EIEIO: The truth is out there.

!Content Warning: Character deaths - everyone dies, often more than once, in multiple ways, but it is humour.  There's also slash in "Cockfighting", but nothing graphic.

Have you ever wanted to be immunised against the anguish of character death? Well this is the series for you.

Nascent's evil side takes over and she goes on a rampage of character death, in a multitude of imaginative ways.  Both beloved and detested characters suffer at the hands of Dark Nascent, and I found myself laughing out loud quite a few times.

Nascent breaks all the fanfic rules with this series, but she pulls it off magnificently.

Dares Series by Eponine119

21,000 Words

Dares series cover

Eponine119's Dares series has our agents messing around and exacting revenge on one another, with some fun and games sprinkled into a very drawn out game of Truth or Dare.  A bit of a flippant, humourous tale, that finishes as they realise that they don't need the games after all.

Since I already had this one combined and ready to go, I figured an extra day of PWP for world peace won't go astray.  This is one of those fics that I remembered being better than I found it on my recent re-read. Eponine119 has a lot of magnificent stories, but I'm not sure this early fic, written in 1995, quite reaches that standard.  It could just be that my expectations were higher, so if I lower yours you might enjoy it more. 😉  It's a little on the juvenile side, but if you're after total escapism it might be just the thing...

 

Hydrotherapy, Water Torture & A Healing Touch by Krikkit

3,000 Words

Hydrotherapy Series cover

Hydrotherapy: What better way to unwind after a long, hard day?

Water Torture: Eavesdropping isn’t always such a good idea.

A Healing Touch: Mulder and Scully finally give in.

Some bonus PWP as a distraction from world events.  Hang on in there.

I've used a cover made by Jamie over at thejfiles.com. I can't say that it belongs to this fic, but I can't say it belongs to any other fic, so it's here. 🙂

Twelfth Night by Marigold

Book Cover: Twelfth Night by Marigold

It was only a kiss.

This fic follows the ups and downs during the 12 days from the post-Zombie kiss in Millennium. Poor Mulder suffers a few indignities, but he's nothing if not resilient.

This story finishes off my 14 festive days of fics I challenged myself to post to get myself in the swing of things again. I'm aiming to get back to posting 3 times a week, but I still haven't managed to get back to reading emails again. Fingers crossed that I get there soon. I have important emails to send too. 🙂

 

Trigger Stories by PhileyX

40,000 Words

Trigger stories cover

Fox: Ever wonder why Mulder finally kissed Scully on New Year’s Eve? Here’s my theory…….

Mulder: So Mulder managed to resist Scully. Will she be able to resist him?

Toady: Agent Archie Travis goes on the mission to find out what Agent Scully left behind in Agent Mulder’s apartment. This story was initially set after "Fox" but written after "Mulder" so it includes details revealed in "Mulder". It's been shifted accordingly.

Even: Whoops, just a slip of the tongue...

Kiss: How far would Mulder go to know what happened? Mulder is desperate to know about what happened when he was in the mercy of his partner. How far would he go to find out? Meanwhile, Scully plays a mean joke on him and Archie finds the woman of his dreams

 

Mulder and Scully are faced with the extremely tough challenge of resisting each other's advances.  It's another one that's only PG (I don't know what's wrong with me), but there's plenty of fighting of urges.  It gets a little silly at times, but it's all in fun.

Kilt Series by Banlu

4,600 Words

Kilt series cover

Mulder and Scully have to catch a bad guy at the Highland Games. Scully convinces him that he has to wear a kilt to blend in. Discomfort and comfort ensue.

 

Sometimes I can't help myself and include some naughtiness on my covers, with an attempt to make it tasteful.  Apologies to PDF readers, I can't make the cover not stretch over the whole page and therefore there may be a lot of butt in your face when you open the file.

Let me just add that there aren't enough fics with Mulder wearing a kilt. I expect you all to write me some more, OK?   If enough people write some kilt smut stories I may need to do a Shipper's digest for them...  😀

Third Wish, The by Tim Scott

20,000 Words

Third Wish by Tim Scot

Just a smut biscuit -- no more, no less.  I hope. Scully has a vivid recurring dream in which a genie grants her 3 wishes...

I've just returned from a road trip to the outback. There's nothing quite like playing smut read via Text-t0-Speech over your car stereo to keep you alert and make sure you don't do anything stupid  that will require you to submit dashcam footage. 😉

Au Naturel & Aux Etoiles by abracadabra

20,000 Words

Au Naturel cover

Au Naturel: Mulder and Scully spend the day together. In a state forest.

Aux Etoiles: Just what is it that makes a moment magic?  This story takes place in the Au Naturel Universe, but they work as stand-alones.

This is the nice trip to the forest we've all been waiting for.

I'm currently ploughing through some depression/anxiety issues. I'm trying to keep the posts up but also attempting to take some pressure off by not feeling as though I have to post, if that makes sense. I'm hoping it will be business as usual but please bear with me if I don't get 3 weekly releases for the next couple of weeks.  It's nothing i haven't dealt with before, it's just a matter of harnessing limited energy and brainpower to use where it's needed. 🙂

No More Demons by Penny D

Mulder and Scully find a way to keep the nightmares away.

Mind Games by Spider

122,000 Words

Mind Games cover

A horrific series of child molestations and murders has escalated. The director himself, under political pressure from the Justice Department has no choice but to assign the FBI's best profiler to the case, despite a promise he made ten years previously. But this series of killings has no resemblance to anything anyone in the FBI, including the X-files' Fox Mulder, has ever encountered before.

! Content warning for disturbing subject matter - graphic description of violence towards children. Please read the introduction before reading.

Parts of this are really tough to read, but it's an important contributor to the acute Profiler!Mulder-torture,  and to a lesser degree, the Scully-torture.

This is an MSR, but Skinner also gets lucky. (Skinner feels like my dad, so I'd rather not know about what he does in his spare time, but  this wasn't gagworthy at all 😀  Maybe the other horrors made it all pale in comparison.)

I spent 6 days camping in a spectacular World Heritage area, and this is what I read. Go figure. Needless to say I took a couple of breaks, and I had to read a lot of PWP afterwards to recover.  Enjoy  😉

I'm very happy to report that I've just turned up Spider's original artwork for this fic, which I've now added below. I was also surprised to discover that she lived in the neighbouring town to me back in the day. I feel like I came within reach of basking in some of Sonny's limelight. 😀

Parabiosis by Penumbra

59,000 Words

Book Cover: Parabiosis by Penumbra

Science and Mysticism conjoin. A detailed look at season 7. (Rated R)

This story is supplemented by an NC-17 'addendum to casefile' 'Upsidaisium', which is included.  Upsidaisium is set around Gethsemane which is a bit confusing but smut is smut. 

Scully dared herself to give in to this life, to call this enough - dire middle-of-the-nights with this unbelievable parabiosis arcing between them, and the daytime eternities of pretending there was nothing new.

And now when he wanted to lie with her, kissing and talking, she thought of how they would act tomorrow, of the subsequent days until they could be like this again, and she felt a certain level of bitterness at the sham of her life, bitterness he dispelled with his hands and mouth, and with his unspoken assurance that the only certain thing we have is now.

Penumbra really has a way with words. I was really surprised that I had to create a dustjacket for this one because it's such a legendary fic.  There must be one somewhere that I don't know about. I did, however, find this fanart for it by skuuri at deviantart/ankathehuman at tumblr:

Book Cover: Remember Me? by Caroline O

Mulder and Scully have been forcibly separated from each other for fifteen months. Scully has a new life, but no knowledge of her previous one.

Happy Mother's Day to mothers of all descriptions. A bonus fic for the occasion: this fic is one that's even enjoyable for those of us who don't do kidfic.  Scully has a baby, and a partner, but it's not all as it seems. There are many twists and turns to keep you reading.

Book Cover: Day I Tried to Live, The by XPhylia

After the fire destroyed the basement office, Mulder and Scully were split up and go separate ways. A year and a half later they meet again and Scully discovers a terrible secret about Mulder. Determined to rebuild their relationship, she must first face her main adversary: her ex-partner himself.

 

Angst-o-rama after the two agents are separated.  Dr Scully has to rescue Mulder from himself. Sadly there's no smut in this one, just intense angst and DAL. I didn't realise this was on ff.net until I went to publish it, so you get a bonus source. 🙂

Book Cover: Miles to Go Series by MD1016

Mulder and Scully in the desert, talking to each other through tin can phones.

This is a nice 'n' angsty jealousy/betrayal story involving the incredibly dislikable Diana Fowley.  Scully issues an ultimatum and a proposition.  Mulder considers the options.   

Poconos by Jess M

Book Cover: Poconos by Jess M

Mulder and Scully looking into a series of mysterious deaths (do they ever do anything ELSE?) in that honeymoon capital of the world, the Poconos.

Another very sexy case file from Jess M. She stirs a large dollop of humour into this one and garnishes it with a smut-cherry on top. 

I'm into abandoned stuff, so I found this HuffPost Article quite interesting: The Honeymoon Capital of the World is now Beautifully Abandoned.

Some fires destroy. Others cleanse. Mulder and Scully experience both.

Book Cover: Erlona's Heart by MD1016

Mulder takes Scully on her dream vacation but things don't quite go to plan.

 

If you haven't figured it out yet, MD1016 is one of my favourite authors, and possibly even the one who got me sucked in to the world of XF fanfic to begin with .  She combines the angst and UST and unleashes the smut in a way that I find most appealing.  This is a vacation fic set during the cancer arc, with all its tenderness, angst, love, and seasickness.

Assumption of Guilt, An by Gerry Hill

24,000 words

Book Cover: Assumption of Guilt, An by Gerry Hill

Scully makes an assumption about Mulder and it nearly derails their partnership.

The stress of back to back profiling cases results in some friction between our agents.  A series of misunderstandings doesn't help things until they finally work out where they're supposed to be. 😉

I was looking for a solstice fic, but because I'm on the wrong side of the world it's Yule here, and in the X-Files world Yule is at Christmastime, so nothing quite fit.  I gave up and got one set around the northern Summer solstice in season 7.

Eden Series by Jacquie LaVa

Book Cover: Eden Series by Jacquie LaVa

Part One: The Other Side of Eden - If you had your memories torn away from you... the very essence of what made you human... what would you become? Mulder and Scully are about to find out...

Part Two: Eden in the City - As Mulder and Scully attempt to make a life for themselves and their new child, the creator of the deadly serum just won't let them be...

Part Three: Re-Inventing Eden - Mulder and Scully are forced to send their child into hiding to save him from the threat of a monstrous threat...

Part Four: To Keep Eden Safe - Upon the receipt of yet more threatening notes, and the enforced protection of our Agents' only child... Mulder and Scully must face the evidence at hand, and find a way to trap a monster...

Part Five: Regaining Eden - It's time to get it back, all of it... and Mulder and Scully are ready to kick ass...

(16 June, 2019) I wanted to find a daddy!Mulder fic to post for US Fathers' Day, but I'm allergic to kidfic.  I've made it through the first book in this series before my kidficphobia set in and I couldn't go on. It's nothing to do with the actual fic, which is by an author I adore and comes recommended by others, it's my own issue which I wish I could overcome...

In 'The Other Side of Eden' Mulder and Scully are dumped on a deserted island, having been given a serum to erase all their memory.  Angst & smut ensues...

2023 Re-release: I'm so proud of myself. I challenged myself to read the entire fic and I did it! I'm pleased to announce that this series only icked me a couple of times, and it ended up being an enjoyable case file. LOL

This is another re-edited & re-released fic intended to ease the pressure on my brain.  I had a report of an issue with this one so hopefully it's fixed now, and there's now an added web version.

In my excitement I've also added a new M&S on an island illustration to the end of the ePub, PDF & web versions.

Wine Series by Dianora

28,000 words

Book Cover: Wine Series by Dianora

Alcohol consumption and sex.  Pure mind candy with little redeeming social value.

Smut. Drunken, wild, crazy smut. Dianora lets them loose in the office,  at a renaissance fair, and on a pier by the lake, among other places.  Not only that, but there's more fun to do with board games and the mile high club.  What the story may lack in social value, it delivers in hot sexy times for this extremely dynamic and enthusiastic duo. The smut tags on this one rival those on One-Upmanship,  You're welcome. 😀 

Butterflies All Tied Up Universe by bugs

Book Cover: Butterflies All Tied Up Universe by bugs

Butterflies All Tied Up: Mulder and Scully are back to work at the X-files, but a madman in their midst finally sends their relationship in a new direction, and someone is watching.

Orchids in Bloom: A fluffy bit of smut, so those persons who are on a higher plane should fly away. Mulder comes home drunk from a bachelor's party and gets the third degree.

Even Doves Have Pride: In the three whirlwind months since M/S have become involved, you'd think they would be entwined in a congenial
union. Perhaps, but suddenly things are moving too quickly for Scully.

Even Doves Have Pride II: The moment of truth has arrived for Mulder and he's suffering from some anxiety.

This is bugs' first foray into fan fiction, which she acknowledges may be a tad unrealistic.  That thought did cross my mind on occasion, but it's not too difficult to go with it.  The entire story is told through the eyes of a third person, giving it a voyeuristic feel.  But I do love a third party perspective on the complicated Mulder-Scully relationship.

I'm now re-releasing this one as I've added the remaining stories in this universe to the file.  Bugs kindly created artwork for each of the stories, which you can find in the ePub & PDF versions.

Book Cover: Speedo Optional by Thalia D'Muse

A string of bizarre murders send Mulder and Scully to a secluded
resort in Florida.

This is a casefile with the added complication of a rather uncomfortable setting for our agents.  Of course Mulder is a lot more amenable to going with the flow than Scully.

Calendar Girl II - NOTE: THIS SERIES REMAINS INCOMPLETE. 
I wish it had been finished, but I still enjoyed it knowing that I'd be left hanging. The plot is way better than CC's, and there are flashbacks to Season 7 episodes to keep the smut quota up.  You can choose whether or not to continue with CGII after CGI.

Their relationship survived the first year, but then everything changed. With one of the partners missing, the other goes on a quest of her own. Scully's new partner, Agent Nicole Larson, appeared in only one tiny segment of a story in Calendar Girl I.

Book Cover: Rarity of the Human Connection by MD1016

Scully in jeopardy, Mulder in mourning, and their connection.

This is a fic that stuck with me for a long time.  It's angsty; full of Scully torture - and Mulder torture by proxy, and it has a devious little twist at the end...

Update: I just found some cover art made by X-Rae from X-Plicit Disclosures, including one for this story.

Drugged by Peacenik0

Book Cover: Drugged by Peacenik0

Prompt: Mulder and Scully are accidentally drugged and can't help themselves. Exhibitionism, marathon sex, multiple orgasms for both of them.

!DubCon elements

I was a little hesitant to read this one initially due to the dubcon nature of it, but it's clear that these guys want each other, they just usually have better self-control. To give you an indication of what's involved, the tags given by peacenik0 include: Car Sex, Exhibitionism, Light Dom/sub, Marathon Sex, Oral Sex, Outdoor Sex, Pool Sex, Rough Sex, Sex on a Car, Shower Sex.

This fic not only has marathon sex, it has a bit of marathon cover art. I ended up doing a cover illustration for Peacenik0 for each chapter as well as the main cover:

I have a feeling I may need to reuse parts of these images in other cover art, as the pool one in particular turned out too well to be hidden away. 🙂

Part of the Human Affairs series:

Mulder’s Oxford flat mate arrives unexpectedly with a compound mystery; modern dinosaur and human remains are found near a Loch in northern England.

This story precedes Lost Time but it's not essential to read them in order.

18+ months later - I just found some original artwork for Spider's stories. I assume that this was created by Spider (Sonny) as it didn't state otherwise.

I'm getting closer to fixing everything, but there may still be temporary breakages as I'm still doing long-overduebackground stuff. Thanks for being patient.
