**NOTE** This is the original story, before a complete rewrite. I would not recommend reading this unless you've already read Truly Madly Deeply I-V.

Happy Mother's Day again. This is the bonus fic for the bonus fic posted last night. This is the original draft of Truly Madly Deeply, which Jenna left on her website as "Truly Madly Deeply - Classic Version" after completing her full revision.

Normally I wouldn't post the original version of a rewritten story but this is an exception for a number of reasons: Jenna retained both versions on her site, they're vastly different stories apart from the underlying premise, and this one is a good story in its own right.

You can safely read both versions without knowing what will happen, however as "TMD Redux" is far richer in detail, action and plot I'd strongly recommend reading the revised version before this one to keep up the level of suspense. This one is a little sappier and possibly smuttier but doesn't have the same level of action and suspense.

Mulder and Scully face the biggest adventure of all: Parenthood.

Where has Scully been, and why did she go there?

This story comprises four parts:
I: Runaway
II: Lights in the Sky
III: If Fates Allow
IV: Heaven and Earth

The links above will take you to the individual stories on AO3, or your can take the AO3 link to the left to the series page on AO3 where they're all linked. Remember to give Jenna some love when you're done. 🙂

Additional content warning in part IV for childbirth issues.

A special Mother's Day release that fits the UK theme. This is quite the adventure, with our agents trying to stay ahead of the bad guys.

Happy Mother's Day. I decided to throw in another bonus fic for the occasion. I'm actually releasing this story on Saturday night in my part of the world because this fic has its own bonus fic that I'll release tomorrow some time. Sometimes I get exhausted trying to keep track of everything...

Because this one's on AO3 I'm just doing the one-volume PDF & ePub as I find it far more convenient to read them together in one hit.

In my effort to find extra bits and pieces, I tracked Jenna down to her current website MissLucyJane.com. Jenna has posted some fanfic here, as well as links to her published work & a countdown to a new site launch on 31 May, 2023. It appears that she now exclusively focuses on gay romance fiction, so if that's your thing head on over.

Unfortunately the second bonus I was considering didn't work out as I'd hoped. 🙁
I have the prologue and first five chapters of Part I of the barely-begun sequel, TMD: Carterhaugh. It did have me sucked in and I wanted to find out more about that door, but alas, the story hadn't progressed far enough to feel like it could even be used as an epilogue. It matters not, as TMD I-V provide adequate satisfaction, and were already an immense accomplishment for the author.

I'm not 100% certain on the main cover artist. It's not credited like the one by Sammy, so although the colour scheme is similar, I think it's Jenna's. (I did add Jenna's name to the bottom on the 'official' cover because it wasn't there and gave me a good excuse to make the aspect ratio 3:4, as is my compulsion).

The Field Where She Lied: Mulder takes a good, hard look at his life and what the events of the episode TFWID have done to it. (!CW - suicidal ideation)

The Field Where Max Fenig Arrived: Mulder and Scully are asked to assist Scotland Yard on a case involving a series of murders and possible alien abductions in Southern England while struggling to cope with their changing relationship.

Post-eps for "The Field Where I Died".

Ginef claims to have considered TFWID one of the best episodes in a long time, but then was compelled to 'fix' it with fanfic. 😛 Sorry, Ginef, that's my own attitude towards the episode coming through. Not that it was that bad, it just wasn't that good either IMHO.

Anyway, as with many, many, many X-Files episodes, it had plenty of plot holes and glitches to inspire fanfic, and Ginef originally took this on the angst route, before shoving them together on a case to sort things out.

They're in the UK again as they attempt to track down mysterious abductors and killers. In fact, after reading around 20 UK fics to decide which ones I'd post, the UK theme is going to carry over to next week so I hope you're enjoying the change in location. 😀

A very elaborate look at a younger Fox Mulder: profiling hotshot and total nutcase. So much is explained in this story about how Mulder came to be the brilliant but distrusting and somewhat paranoid person we see in the show.

It also answers a few questions you never thought to ask. Or is that what a dream is supposed to do? 🙂

The original online version of the story also had images in each chapter. Most images weren't saved, so I've had to guess from their file names & surrounding text etc what they were.

This fic was so beloved that it even had its own shrine on ArcticFox42's site. I've added a couple of the images below.

Another fabulous story from Syn. She's tossed a whole bunch of quality ingredients int0 this one. Although it starts on Scully's birthday, there's no time for cake - they're-ahem- thrust right into the action from the first scene. I also live for a little role reversal from time to time. 🙂

This one was a challenging one for Syn to write. I've linked her website for you to go and give her some love, and while you're there you can follow the link on her home page to get to her original novels if you haven't investigated them already. I don't have a lot of time to read anything other than X-Files fanfic, but when I'm looking for something totally different to read, I turn to novels by former fanfic authors... I'm so tragic. LOL.

This is one of those short fics that feels like a longer story.

It's that excruciatingly long time in Season 6 when M & S are off the x-files. Mulder is envious of Scully getting to do exciting stuff like autopsies while he's making almost-useful objects from stationery items. When she goes to a conference he finds something else to do.

This fic is a reminder that Mulder is my ADHD spirit animal.

All personal accounts contained, herein, are the property of Dana Katherine Scully and Fox William Mulder. The names will be changed, of course, but the accounts will most likely remain intact. This story includes the previously authored "How to Blend in With Normal People".

I quite enjoy a deliberate Mary-Sue. This is a long fic, with a complicated Mulder and Scully and all their baggage interwoven with humour. It does get quite angsty in places.

I know it's hard to believe, but this is actually a season 8/9 fic (sans Doggett & Reyes) in which William exists. It must be a Christmas miracle.

This is another example of a well-written case file that could easily have been an episode. Minus the MSR/smut of course. 😉 They have to evade an intrusive news reporter while trying to preserve the secrecy of their new relationship, causing a little strain between them.

Ally uses the Emily arc very effectively, by having the case file of another 'Emily' land on Mulder's desk. Although it's not an X-File, it's a chance for he and Scully to head back to San Diego, and discover more about these children who weren't meant to be.

It's a layered story that keeps up the pace throughout as all kinds of drama ensues. I know Ally did some fan art but I don't remember seeing any specifically for her novels. I'm not prepared to trawl through years of tumblr posts to find out for sure either...

Purgatorio: Three months on, and Mulder shows no signs of even attempting to come to terms with what happened to him in "Inferno," and Scully begins to feel the strain of having to constantly sacrifice her own needs to the needs of her desperately unhappy partner. Things come to a head on a murder case when Scully simply can not accept Mulder's theory. Will their partnership survive?

Paradiso: While Scully attempts to undo the damage wrought by recent events, Mulder gets drawn into a web of intrigue that could lead him to the truth, but could just as easily destroy him.

Journey back to a difficult time in Season 3, after Paper Clip, where our agents seemed to have trouble finding a middle ground. They're miles apart when they're sent away for a case, and things don't improve in a hurry.

No MSR, but lots of angst and MulderTorture. Strap yourself in, because it's a bit of a rough ride for Mulder and Scully in this one. One for the angst addicts.

Cheryl was a very early MSR fanfic author, with these stories written in 1994. All of her stories take place in the same universe, which begins after Mulder and Scully were split up at the end of Season One. Consequently there are some characters that developed a little differently in this universe, so you occasionally have to forget all you've learned of them since 1994. She's also quite determined to injure Mulder in multiple ways, which can be a lot of fun.

Annie shows up as co-author for the first time in "Oh, What A Night", and they team up to write more stories in Volume 2 and 3 together.

I did release "Devils Advocate" earlier this year, not realising that the other stories were related, so I'm re-releasing that one this week with an extra story added, along with "Neon" (Volume 3).

The image featured on the cover is a sketch by ImAStinker. I tried colourising it for the cover and it turned out a bit of a mess. The original is below. This is one of the sketches that I'll include with Neon in Volume 3.

Scully, reassigned to a teaching position at Quantico, must balance her new responsibilities with her concern about her former partner's well-being. And Alex Krycek insinuates himself into Mulder's life for reasons that are not immediately apparent.

Walking Through Fire: Determined to gain reinstatement at the Bureau, Mulder searches for a way to bring Cancer Man down while also confronting the grim reality of unemployment, and Scully's responsibilities increase as she juggles her new assignment with her continued support of her ex-partner's quest. But Skinner requests her forensic expertise in an ongoing investigation, saddling her with an additional burden that may prove more than she can bear. A ghost from Teena Mulder's past prompts her to finally open up to her son, though the information she offers has the potential to crush him. And Alex Krycek inadvertently provides the evidence Mulder needs to foil the Smoking Man.

The Sanctuary Trilogy+ is a masterpiece of fanfic by Bardsmaid. She appeared to have a real sense of comfort with the characters and not only did she make existing characters her own, she created rich, real characters that could have changed the trajectory of the show post Season 7 if only CC & co had thought of them. I can't help but wonder what S8 would have been like had they introduced a character like Agent Wilkins who was eager to help rather than antagonise.

This series diverges from canon at the beginning of Season 6, so all the usual favourites are involved in a complex mytharc plot. Take some time off and really immerse yourself in this one.

There are 4 parts to this series, which I've spit into three volumes. Whilst the Sanctuary Trilogy itself was completed, Topaz, the sequel Bardsmaid was writing at the time of her passing was not, but is included here as an optional extra.

Bardsmaid's website is still available at bardsmaid.org, and her original images can be found there and in the attached epub/pdf versions. New covers are included here due to the tiny size of the original pics.

PS Leland is a much better name for CSM. He's so not a 'Carl'.

I know some of you like Scully!Torture, alongside Mulder!Caring of course, and Eponine119 certainly delivers in this one. She throws everything imaginable and worse at Scully in this story. Eponine does take some liberties with the Scully family, but they're entirely believable and usually make more sense than canon. If you like some pain with your MSR, this story will give you plenty of that.

Last Dance: Mulder's messing with something he shouldn't be.

This is an epic early story, beginning in Season 2, so it involves some characters who never made it far into Season 3. It's quite a complicated story, to match its name, as it involves time travel and parallel universes, which always make my head spin. It can get quite concerning MSR-wise at points, but you have to trust that they'll find a way. But I admit to being very glad that an epilogue was added...

We know from the episode that the events in the episode also made Scully sick, emotionally if nothing else. I would guess that Scully was haunted by the events of the episode, and will continue to be haunted by them, for quite some time afterward. Well, I think it’s about time Mulder sees what losing Emily has done to Scully, and what he’s doing to aggravate the hurt.

Wait: Nobody ever forgets where a hatchet is buried. Sequel to ‘Vox’.

Ice: Basically Mulder and Scully are just going to spend this entire story just bitching and moaning at each other angrily. If you’re not into that sort of thing, back out now. I’m warning you–MAJOR ANGST!!!

Red: Final story in the Vox Series. Mulder and Scully get a clue.

Although not a direct post-ep for 'All-Souls', this fic details how the chronic ScullyTorture in Season 5 may have affected Scully and impacted the relationship between Mulder and Scully.
