Sirens by Bexbel

20,000 Words

Sirens cover

Greek mythology X-file, sex and blood. A messy combination.

It's not the most detailed case story ever written, but it does get our heroes together on a beach in Greece... There's also a bit of friction between them, with Mulder leaving out vital information, and they almost come to fisticuffs. I quite enjoy a fight, providing they make up. And they do. 🙂

This is another unreleased upload that I had a change of mind about at the time. I'd decided that it would be easier to prepare the uploads as I was listening to the fic and I'd be able to tag as I listened. Unfortunately the story didn't turn out to be as good as I remembered it being, but I'd already done the hard work, so I kept it here for an emergency release.  It does have its highlights...

Minnesota by WickdZoot

80,000 Words

Minnesota cover

WickdZoot doesn't do summaries, but doesn't care if archivists choose to. With my memory I need them to have some idea as to whether I've read a story before -although this story is plenty memorable without one. 🙂  Mind you, I've borrowed huge chunks of it from Amp & Goo's 'Oklahoma' summary...

It's 1997 and the Minnesota cops have an unsolvable case. Fox Mulder, once golden boy of the VCU, is called in to stop a serial murderer across the state. What he finds drives him to the most frightening of places within his own mind. Despite Scully being there to doctor him, he's eventually forced to make a pivotal choice in his life.

A delightful (& smutty) parody of Amp & Goo's 'Oklahoma', set around Season 4-5ish.

Minnesota, where the snow chills fibbies to the bone
And the killer's clues may sound confused
If you're not familiar with Nash poems.

I love a parody, and WickdZoot gives us a wonderful Profiler!Mulder, teetering on the cusp of madness and not wanting to fall asleep because of the dreams. Admittedly, the dreams really are quite disturbing.

I created a new cover for both 'Oklahoma' and 'Minnesota' when I couldn't make my original 'Minnesota' concept work. However, a week after reuploading the new version of 'Oklahoma' I had another stab at it, and it turned out a lot better. I'm not redoing both, but I'll put it below should you prefer that one, despite (or because of) it not having naked Scully in partial Nun-garb on it. I really hope my ISP doesn't track what images I search for...

Louisiana by Terma99

Louisiana cover

Moisture in the air and bath can lead to steam.

Another quick fic because yesterday's was so short. Upl0ading PWPs is a lot easier  because there aren't a lot of tags to remember to add. 🙂

Are you sensing a theme yet?

Nebraska by Nicole Mason

Nebraska cover

They were in the sheriff’s office, arguing over something, when he finally did it...

Some early MSR. This might be the shortest fic I've posted here so just go read it.

Behind the White Curtain by Ficlady

3,800 Words

Behind the White Curtain cover

A stakeout turns voyeuristic!

You can count on Mulder to lead them straight into temptation trouble. I do love seeing them try to cope in the most awkward of situations, and Ficlady has definitely done that with this little story.

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.

Faeries by The Pen & The Brain

40,000 Words

Faeries cover

Mulder and Scully pursue a peculiar case in Cornwall and discover things within each other at the same time.

I used to associate Cornwall with wild coastlines, scones with clotted cream, and scrumpy. Penzance always made me think of pirates. Now I can save room in my brain by reassociating those places with MSR. LOL

This is the last in a week of Brit-Fics. I hope you all enjoyed the change of location. I should do theme weeks more often, although reading 20 fics to decide which ones I'll post rather than posting whatever I have ready isn't the most constructive use of my time...

So Shall You Reap by Stef Davies

62,000 Words

So Shall You Reap cover

Mulder and Scully travel to the UK to help in the search for Senator Matheson's wife. Guess who's there to 'help'?

We're still in the UK, this time late in Season 3. Our agents had vacation plans - together - that were shelved when first Mulder, then both of them were sent to Britain.  Phoebe is being Phoebe, showing strong narcissistic traits and toying with Mulder (and Scully). He finally manages to resist, not before really pissing Scully off. Fortunately for him, Scully is forgiving, and there's also some added bonus Kickass!Scully near the end. 🙂

Truly Madly Deeply (Classic Edition) by Jenna Tooms

60,000 Words

TMD (classic version) cover.

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

**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.

Truly Madly Deeply by Jenna Tooms (MissLucyJane)

105,000 Words

Truly Madly Deeply (Redux) cover

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.

TMD Carterhaugh - only click on this image if you have a burning curiosity.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).

In Amor Vis Vires by Andrea

30,000 Words

In Amore Vis Vires cover

While investigating a case Mulder is injured. Scully takes drastic measures to protect him from further harm.

Since I moved today's fic to Saturday, I've thrown in a late contender for today. I probably owe you an extra fic after the down time last week. Sorry. 🙁 This fic, set in the UK, starts out angsty‚ but soon turns to other things...

While part of me wanted to reject the idea of long-distance travel in this circumstance as too unbelievable, I reminded myself that in the X-Files implausible travel situations are canon.  You'll soon forget that anyway as you appreciate Scully's dedication to Mulder's cleanliness.

Queen of Mist and Memory, The by Avalon

97,000 Words

Queen of Mist and Memory cover

During a trip to England, Mulder and Scully find themselves trapped in the legendary court of Camelot. As they search for a way to return to their lives, Scully finds herself forgetting who she truly is.

You know how I am when it comes to posting fics that fit with special days.... With the coronation happening in the Great Britain on the weekend, I thought it only fitting to have Mulder and Scully head to the UK to do courtly things.  I've decided to release this one early & I'll post another one on Monday.

Avalon manages to weave Mulder and Scully into Arthurian romance while they're holidaying in Wales. It takes imagination and talent to find a way to place our heroes in these completely different worlds without losing the characters we love.

I am happy to report that Avalon did achieve her dream of becoming an author whilst continuing to follow her spiritual path.  She's published a few non-fiction books, as well as a novel. I like to promote works by fanfic authors without any traces from one to the other, so if you'd like to discover for yourself, if 'You Move' over to Avalon's Gossamer stories you should be able to find the information you need. I admit that I'm intrigued.

This story took me right back to my younger days of binge-reading MZB & visiting those legendary places; experiencing the ancient energy of Glastonbury and sunrise from the Tor... I'd love to get back there some day. If it wasn't for the 24-30 hours on a plane then equivalent time getting through immigration/customs at Heathrow I'd be a lot more enthusiastic. I need to find me a wormhole to zip through. Until then, I'm going to revel in my nostalgia by posting some more UK fics this week.

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

24,000 Words

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...

Mulder makes a new friend online.

After posting Werewolf fics by frogdoggie, word association brought my mind straight to this fic, despite it being almost the opposite to the Werewolf Chronicles in a way.

This is a killer piece of comedy fic. I'm laughing right now just thinking about it . Even the title sets me off again. I hope you enjoy it just as much.  I can further assure you that dog woman is not the source of Mulder's inspiration. 😉

I was disappointed that you can't read Mulder's computer screen in the cover image after I had way too much fun combining a screenshot of my newsreader's ATXC search, some made up doggie titles & a heap of real spam (from alt.tv.x-files.creative.mature) in an attempt to make a realistic version of alt.sex.doggiestyle.fuck.fuck.fuck. Accordingly I've included the doctored screenshot here. Sadly I did not make that horse one up. LOL

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. 🙂

Teetering by MD1016

Teetering cover

Mulder invites Scully to meet him at a bar, and she accepts.

MD1016. One of my very favourite authors. She's brought her wonderful angst and the smut together again in this short fic.

Pigs on the Wing by Trelawney

27,000 Words

Pigs on the Wing cover

Mulder and Scully are required to go undercover as a couple, risking their lives to catch a fugitive in a small town in Texas.

!CW:  offensive verbiage.

Why is it that artists often make covers for other people's fics but not their own?  I only have one Tre on Tre cover, nothing for this story, which I find most inconvenient. 😉  Thankfully Woody & Juliette were available as body doubles.

Tre was inspired by Caught In The Act III by Parrotfish and places this case after that story (only you need to pretend the 'deed' wasn't done in CITA). As such she recommends that you read Caught In The Act first, as do I if you haven't read it, simply because it's such a fabulous fic. It's not a prerequisite however.

10 Reasons & Starry Night by Blackwood

22,500 Words

10 reasons & Starry Night cover

Ten Reasons: On a late night flight home, Scully tries to convince herself that a platonic relationship is just fine. Mulder has other ideas.

Starry Night: Mulder makes good on a promise. Follow up to Ten Reasons, although it stands alone quite nicely.

Blackwood only put her non-smut stories on ff-net under the name Lorelai is Sleeping", consequently only "10 Reasons" is there so I haven't added it as a main link.

Season 6, the flight home from Arcadia. Mulder's been getting on her nerves playing at being her husband while Scully's still trying to recover from the whole Diana being a traitor and his not believing her thing.

Blackwood is more reasonable than I am about the One Son events. She uses logic to put things in perspective and her approach still gets our partners to where they should be, allowing them to pay more attention to what they're doing. 🙂

Between Then And Now & One More Step by Anne Haynes

5,400 Words

Between Then And Now + One More Step cover

Between Then & Now: Mulder makes a late night visit before they start back at work.

One More Step: A continuation of “Between Then and Now” .

This was written after the movie but before Season 6, so it's still assumed that our agents are starting back in their basement office.  Scully's sitting at home in her satin PJs thinking about that hallway kiss when Mulder makes a non-intoxicated (but intoxicating) 2am appearance...

Resurgam by Ophelia

80,000 Words

Resurgam (Ophelia) cover

Something very angry is haunting a tiny graveyard on the
Vineyard.

This story is on ff-net (2002) and Ao3 (2015), but only the "Teen & up) version.  This is the NC-17 version (of course).

I've added links to the other archives. I think the ff-net version is OK, but the AO3 version has a huge chunk of Chapter 3 repeated. I've made the x-libris web version NC-17, with an option to skip the smut and read the PG-13 version. Hopefully that's not too confusing.

This is quite a dark and haunting story, with Mulder returning to the Vineyard a few months after the death of his mother. Aside from the case they're investigating, there are a lot of old ghosts of Mulder's in the Vineyard.

Lurid Details by TBishop

3,000 Words

Lurid Details cover

Yes! Yes! Yessss… I think that about covers it.

To liven up an otherwise smut-free week, I thought I'd upload another plane-related fic. TBishop steams up the windows as Mulder and Scully show each other some mutual appreciation during a flight home. What it lacks in plot, it makes up for in moistness.

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.

Artificial Starlight by Annie Sewell-Jennings

7,800 Words

Artificial Starlight cover

Mulder and Scully share thoughts on loneliness, light, and good Italian food.

Another passion-filled story that leaves us pondering the possibilities. This one comes very high on the list of hottest M&S lip-locks in fanfic. This 'annual chat about things other than work' was held in early season 6 so there's a little uncertainty about where they stand with each other. They appear to clear that up though. 🙂

And yes, sorry, it's another shorter fic on a Monday. I just looked at the clock and remembered what day it was and realised that I wasn't going to finish the cover for the fic I'd planned so you got Wednesday's instead... [After another reshuffle today's fic has moved to Friday and there's a new Wednesday fic. Decisions are difficult.]

Forbidden Fruit by Fiona

2,300 Words

Forbidden Fruit cover

Mulder pushes the boundary lines.

I don't have any tags for hot non-smut and teasing in the office. In fact this one doesn't seem to want to fit the usual categories. It's MSR. It's sticky, It's delicious.

You may remember Fiona for her art and manipulations. Sadly her website finally bit the dust in 2021 but you can find the remnants at the wayback machine.

This is only a short one.  It's almost midnight and I'm all tuckered out. I finally got the stuff done today to speed the site up so fingers crossed it will function a lot better now.

Repressed by Jori

20,000 Words

repressed cover

Includes parts I - IV.

Scully suddenly remembers some long repressed memories and confronts Mulder.

I promised you smut, and Jori has brought it once again.

I loved how she brings forth circumstantial evidence to back up this  story, weaving seemingly insignificant scatterings of canon to bring an extra level of plausibility. She also demonstrates how much they've been affected by what they've experienced in their years together and how it resulted in their attempts to repress their feelings, which just makes the end sweeter.   I'm entirely sold that this happened exactly as Jori describes.

Accepted as canon stamp

Dejeuner Sur La Deja Vu by Ariadne

4,000 Words

Dejeuner Sur cover

While on assignment Scully's subconscious brings forth memories of a very different ending to "Monday" but what will her emotions push her to do with this newfound remembrance?

The cover might contain a spoiler for this one... Ariadne somehow manages to take our agents on a smooth trip from the summary to the dustjacket  and beyond.

This is one glorious post-ep for Monday.

Gazebo by Mish

5,000 Words

Gazebo cover

Grabbing her hand, he guides her from under the canopy of cobwebbed limbs into the back yard...

This out-take from No Quarter Given was supposed to be released last week in acknowledgement of the New Orleans Mardi Gras, but I got hyper-focussed on Scully's Birthday instead. I'm releasing it as a special weekend bonus since I had a couple of double-up days that I'm trying to shuffle. With Mish taking you to southern Louisiana, with its hauntingly twisted oaks draped with Spanish moss, then add two attractive FBI agents fucking like the alium invasion is nigh, you'll forget what day it is.

Let me just add how awesome Sybil's contributions to the fanfic community were that she inspired so much birthday fic dedicated to her. Maybe for her birthday next year I could do an anthology of her birthday or challenge fics...

Want and Need by Tess

10,000 Words

Want and Need cover

Want and Need I & II: Love isn’t always hearts and flowers. Sometimes it’s all about wants and needs.

Remember the first night Scully stayed at Mulder's apartment in Season 7? Something happened that night, and Scully's not entirely thrilled about how things are progressing. This story follows our agents from Sein & Zeit through some important events in Season Seven as they navigate the changes in their relationship.

Aphrodisia by Kristel St Johns

150,000 Words

Aphrodisia cover

It's the side of sexuality very few people understand. Some even call it the dark side. But when life holds you captive, where do you go to escape? Mulder and Scully explore control and trust issues as they delve into a fantasy in which they will discover their darkest passions and deepest fears.

  • Aphrodisia I - Scaling the Last Wall
  • Aphrodisia II - Fear, Trust and Desire
  • Aphrodisia III - The Joy of Surrender
  •  Aphrodisia IV - Exploring the Boundaries
  • Aphrodisia V - Head Games
  • Aphrodisia VI - In the Wake of the Devil's Instant
  • Aphrodisia VII - New Territory

 

Kristel decided to take up the challenge of portraying Mulder and Scully in a long-term D/s relationship rather than just a simple one-shot. She didn't finish her ultimate goal, but she gave us 7 incredible installments with no massive cliffhanger at the end so I'm grateful for what we have.

I normally have issues with Mulder!Dom in that Scully has been in situations that may trigger her with regards to being restrained, but Kristel has accounted for this and treated the characters and subject matter respectfully.

Nine Days In February by Rah

14,000 Words

Nine Days in February cover

Ten stories of  nine days over nine years.

Valentines Day from 1994 to 2002. 2002 actually features two stories: "Joy & Happiness" by Rah and "Greener" by Sagan.

These stories came as part of a Valentine's Day special at the long-defunct justduckies.org  in 2002. Rah takes us through the years and the different phases of their relationship, culminating in two stories in 2002, one by Rah and the other by Sagan.

As it Might Have Been by Dyann Z

146,000 Words

As it Might Have Been cover

What if Ethan was never edited from the Pilot episode? What actually happened between the scenes we saw? Tune in and find the true smutty story.

Today happens to be the 29th anniversary of my first X-Files episode - the pilot first aired in Australia on 10 Feb 1994.

In honour of this auspicious occasion I've selected a series that starts back at the pilot episode. Dyann recounts the first three seasons with a bit of a twist. Don't worry too much about Ethan... he can't last long after Scully begins working with Mulder 😉

The Scully/Ethan sex is more elaborate than I prefer, but it usually only lasts a paragraph or two. It's not that detailed, I just don't like any details when it comes to 'others'. It's easy enough to skim through if that's not your bag either and there's enough M/S smut to eventually cleanse your mind of it too. 😀

Out of the Cold Series by Vicki S

21,000 Words

Out of the Cold cover

Out of the Cold: Mulder leaves Scully ‘out in the cold’, literally, and has to warm her up. Let your imagination take it from there,

Little Red Corvette: Mulder and Scully take some time off in sunny California just to enjoy each other, but end up not being able to deny who, and what, they really are.

Making Up is Hard to Do: A fight, a case, a question that may never get asked if the agents can’t make up.

This is like three fics in one. OK, so it is literally three fics in one, so that might be why, but what I mean is that each of the stories has a different feel.  It starts out with some PWP-like action, then heads into fluffy territory for the second story, before becoming more of a case file in the third story.

Some fourth season MSR for your enjoyment.

Twelfth Voyage by Parrotfish

Twelfth Voyage cover

An intimate journey of discovery solves everything and nothing.

This is a moving vignette spectacularly crafted by Parrotfish for your enjoyment.

Darkest Before the Dawn by Jeannine Trevizo

40,000 Words

Darkest Before the Dawn cover

Scully dives head-long into danger and intrigue as, with Skinner's help, she goes underground to try and find the Men In Black who kidnapped Mulder, and bring him back.

Kickass!Scully gets some action (in more ways than one 😉 ). Scully has quite the quest to find Mulder, always seemingly one step behind the consortium. Scully channels her inner-Mulder in the way that she's driven to take big risks to get him back.

Jeannine's website is still online so I've linked to that for the webpage version - it also links to a txt version.

Cinnamon Calling Series by Bidie

28,000 Words

Cinnamon Calling cover

Cinnamon Calling: Mulder receives a free phone call as a “valued customer” from his favorite 900# phone sex service. When the conversation takes a turn toward the erotic, Mulder reveals some intensely intimate feelings about Scully to a perfect stranger, plunging himself into a whirlwind of decadent fantasies about his sexy FBI partner.

Mandrake's Message: Dana Scully gets an unexpected phone call from a man named Mandrake, in response to a deceptive phone call made by Scully several days before. When Scully finally identifies the caller, she is plunged headfirst into an erotic conversation about her fantasies, her desires, including her most secret wishes about her very sexy FBI partner.

Spooky Says: On a hot Friday night, at 10:13 p.m., Mulder suggests to Scully over the phone that they play a game…a very interesting adult version of a childhood favorite. Yet, as they discover much later, the game is merely the beginning of the evening’s events. The finale of a three-part trilogy which includes “Cinnamon Calling” and “Mandrake’s Message”.

156 Words: Cellular Cinnamon: A short little bonus fic from this universe.

Some smutty fun to counteract the recent angst & torture.  There is nothing to be anxious about here except from my end because I've had this one prepared to upload for around 2 years but forgot and now I can't remember which tags to use.

This series dates back to 1998, the year Bidie was bestowed with the Spooky Award for Outstanding New Author.

Khyber Versus Season Seven by Khyber

57,000 Words

Khyber Vs Season Seven cover

A series of post-eps and replacement episodes based on a slightly different interpretation of canon. The idea, I hope, is that you could actually watch the S7 episodes I list below in the order I have them, intersperse them with my 'new' episodes and post-eps, and you would have a somewhat different, but still coherent story arc.

There have been some minor changes in order--"Theef" and "First Person Shooter" have swapped, as have "Je Souhaite" and "Hollywood AD." "En Ami," "Chimera," "Fight Club," and "Requiem"* have all disappeared and been replaced with new original episodes.

*These replacement stories never eventuated.

Like any season, there's going to be a few reruns.

Khyber's version of Season Seven:

the sixth extinction
amor fati
hungry
millennium / collapsar
rush
the goldberg variation
orison
the amazing maleeni
signs and wonders
sein und zeit
closure
x-cops
theef / weret-hekau
first person shooter / how gravity works on planet spooky
home from the war (part one) (replaces En Ami)
(rebroadcast S03x02) paper clip / coyote luck
where i end and you begin (part two) (replaces Chimera)
all things
brand x / amnesia
je souhaite / vapor trail
(rebroadcast S03x23) wetwired / poems
hollywood ad / the waterskiers  (includes a reworking of En Ami)
(rebroadcast S06x02) drive / the fall of our summer

Khyber has made a few changes to Season Seven and once again I'm bitterly disappointed that CC & co didn't add a few fanfic authors to their writing team to show them how it's done.  He starts adding to S7 just after Millennium, then lets CC have his way for a while before kicking back in after Theef.  A few old episodes have reruns along the way.

Just a warning that you may feel a little lost at one point but it will all make sense eventually.

Although this series was never completed there are no cliffhangers. The main storylines are wrapped up.

I haven't worked out yet whose artwork is used for the cover, but there was a cover for Weret-hekau on IOHO:

10,000 Words

Redhead Dancing Girl cover

Redheaded Dancing Girl:  GirlyScully. We all know it's in there and it's so damn nice to bring it out. I promise you won't require any fillings after reading this though.  When  a memory triggers a realization of sorts for Scully, she comes to understand that the power to control her relationship with Mulder lies in her new found knowledge.

Talking to the Walls: Scully's a nosy little thing.

Quite So New: Scully wakes up and - AHH! - There’s a man in the bed! What ever shall she do? (I should probably take these summary things more seriously, don’t you think?).

Superhero: I have a conspiracy theory (which I have been bothering the poor girls in my dorm with) about the shirt Scully is wearing in Rush. It's so very un-Scully. It's too - big. So where in the heck did it come from? And why in the heck are Mulder and Scully acting so goofy in the first scene of the ep? This is the fourth (and final) installment in the Redhead Dancing Girl Series.

A sweet little series starring the video collection that isn't Mulder's. This kind of hovers around the festive season finishing the morning of Rush.

Millennium Kiss by Leyla Harrison

4,500 Words

Millenium Kiss cover

It’s New Year’s Eve, 1999. Mulder and Scully do what most people do on that auspicious occasion - they share a kiss - and since it marks the beginning of a new millenium, it’s going to be pretty amazing.

This fic was written before the episode aired, so it bears no resemblance to Millennium. Most notably, Mulder has two working arms and uses them to his best ability.

Here's wishing that 2023 is an improvement on recent years...

For those who appreciate the visuals to go along with the text, the full image for this cover is at the Under the Covers gallery at x-trash. (Password: smut).  I blame you depraved souls for forcing me to make more content for inclusion over there ;).

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.

Fifteen Minute Window by WhiteRaevyn

6,700 Words

Fifteen Minute Window cover

A New Year's Eve party provides some Scully/Mulder angst, and a way for our two fave agents to get naughty.

[I seem to get more replies when I aim for the SMUT target (Sexual Mutual Understanding and Trust), so I am catering to the public.]

Some more holiday smut. 'Tis the season and all.

Christmas in Space by Jennifer-Oksana & Christmas in Silver by DashaK

6,000 Words

Christmas in Space|Silver cover

Christmas in Space by Jennifer-Oksana: Mulder and Scully get into the good eggnog.

Christmas in Silver by Dasha K: Silver is a good color on Mulder. A wholesome tale that follows Jennifer-Oksana’s “Christmas in Space.”

Just a quick Christmas Day release.

Mulder has a sudden change of heart about celebrating the festive season and decides to treat Scully better.  Scully's happy to go along with it. These are two very different stories - Jennifer goes for the romance whereas Dasha finishes off with full-on smut, as well as a recipe for "Tastier-than-Scully French Toast."

Edit: Oops, I forgot there was a name change for an author of this story - updates have been made to online material. As this name is used on AO3, I'm presuming it's OK to use online.

Silver Bracelet Series, The by Brandon D Ray

49,000 Words

Silver Bracelet Series cover

This story deals with Dana Scully's infertility, as well as her religious faith, and attempts to explore how those two issues might affect a romantic relationship with Fox Mulder.  I have attempted to avoid excessive sap, and there is more than a little angst herein.  However, this is basically a happy story, because I'm basically a happy guy.

A classic Christmas series from Brandon Ray.

There are also another couple of covers by Rachel.

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.

 

Slip Me the Wiener, Spooky-Boy by Jacquie LaVa

9,000 Words

Slip Me the Wiener cover

Recipe for smut: one bachelorette party, about a hundred tequila shooters, a game dreamed up by one ‘Spooky’ Mulder. and a redheaded partner just drunk enough to play it. yield: one helluva smut-cake!

Mulder and Scully get it on in a multitude of places in fanfic, and Jacquie is often there cheering them on.  I'm totally here for it.

Drug Rings, Black Bikinis & Don Henley by Taylor

20,000 Words

Drug Rings Black Bikinis cover

One word: undercover. Oh, and some cage dancing.

Mulder and Scully go undercover as a married couple, acting like irresponsible 20-somethings. Moose & Squirrel get closer, but they really have to work on that glitch in one particular frequency of their silent communication...

Midnight Mark-Up by Lousie Marin

9,500 Words

Midnight Markup cover

Drunken fools, black ink, and territoriality…

A classic bullpen-era tale starring Possessive!Scully. There's no consummation in this one, but closeness nonetheless; there's a Dead Kennedy's song that comes to mind...

Our usually private agents aren't normally inclined towards PDA, but they were drunk! 😉

Also Drunk!Mulder's story is captivating LOL

There was a Kimpa cover for this one but only the thumbnail remains, and I only remembered it after I had already done a new one...

House of Life by Xenith

21,000 Words

House of Life cover

Mulder and Scully investigate a mummy which got up, unwrapped itself then took a bus from its museum, despite a dream Skinner has which predicts disaster if they pursue it.

Includes epilogue by Ravenwald & Wylfcynne as an optional extra.

!CW: dubcon, character death

I really don't have enough of Xenith's stories here. She wrote many a fabulous torture-smut story. I've been meaning to post Abattoir here for a long time but I haven't managed to wrangle all the multiple follow-up fics to that one yet. I was doing that right before the Great Hard Drive Crash of 2021, so I need to go back and find out where I was at with it.

In the meantime this is another angsty fic. This one is nowhere near as torturous as Abattoir (not many fics are to be fair). The dubcon in this one is definitely a LOT milder.  Skinner accompanies them on the case as he's concerned after his dream, so he's there to witness some post-coital panic. I love me some Skinner!discovery.

No Man’s Land by Cyra

1,800 Words

No Man's Land cover

A young soldier makes a discovery about the nature of human contact when she spies on Mulder and Scully.

!CW: Underage third party POV

Cyra seems to share my kink appreciation for third party perspectives of MSR. 🙂

This is a surprise weekend release as it's such a short fic. It didn't make it to Goss for some reason and I think it deserves to be more accessible.

By popular demand, I have started a secret page at x-trash for some of the smutty images underneath a few of the covers. You can find a more graphic version of the image on this cover here. The password is "smut".

Incoming & Outgoing by Jori

7,500 Words

Incoming Outgoing cover

In Coming: Scully takes control of Mulder in an new way

Out Going: Mulder tries to regain control of the situation at hand

It's Thanksgiving in the USA, so I planned to add a bonus fic for today. I had a quick look through my fics and found this one. It's not actually a Thanksgiving fic, however "Outgoing" was released on Thanksgiving 1998 as "Mandatory Thanksgiving Smut".  Who am I to argue with Jori?  Consequently it's mandatory to read this for Thanksgiving. 😀  You can quiz yourself afterwards to make sure you took it all in. Maybe write an exploration of your interpretation of the last line... 😉

I originally tried to mess with Jori's "OutGoing" banner to force it into the correct dimension for X-Libris covers, but it wasn't working all that well, so I've made a new one inspired by Jori's original art, below.

Two-Column Proof by Jean Helms

6,000 Words

Two Column Proof cover

"What if they've been doing it all along?" asked my faithful friend and beta reader, Lee. What if, indeed ...

I can go along with this premise; I love a story where intimacy starts early.

The cover used is actually a recreation of the original, below. There are a few covers for which only thumbnails have survived so I started challenging myself to re-master them so they can be enjoyed again.  I'm not totally happy with my version, so if anyone has the originals I'll happily replace the images.

Isometry by syntax6

68,000 Words

Isometry cover

The story of a man, a woman and their lucky pickle.

This story starts after Kaddish & follows the episodes to Redux II.

Can you believe that today is National Pickle Day? It seems to come around so quickly... 😉

Seriously, I went to some website to make sure I knew what holidays were in November and found that November 14 is National Pickle Day. I don't know how widespread this occasion is, I was too astonished that it was even a thing. I'd been wanting to post another syntax6 story among others, but I can get overwhelmed deciding which of the many stories I have ready to post in what order, so I was hoping that seeing what holidays there were would help narrow my options. It was synchronicity that the first free posting day was dedicated to pickles and I had the perfect story to release.

Don't worry too much about the Mulder/other thing. It was never meant to be. Syntax6 manages to weave in plenty of drama and angst around the cancer arc and weaves the episodes into her story seamlessly.

Because images get posted in various places I have no idea who made them. MaybeAmanda did a lot of syntax6's images but these weren't credited on her website. The black and white cover below was found at the land of the yeti, but I have no idea if that's where it originated.

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.

Option Three by Khyber

5,900 Words

Option Three cover

Halloween. A little exposed skin, tentative conversation, a bag of candy and a lesson in sharing. Even though Mulder and Scully don't have sexual intercourse, NoRomos will likely want to run screaming right about now.

I couldn't resist another Halloween fic. This is a classic Halloween offering in the stakeout genre, but I'm not sure whether it's a trick or a treat. 🙂 Hopefully it's not too chilly for cold showers at this time of year.

Sorry I did go a bit full pr0n on the cover, possibly due to my own frustrations, but I did try to hide it under lots of twizzlers...

A Halloween treat by Donnilee, featuring some kick-ass!Scully.

Kimpa also made a really cool cover for this one, below. This story was actually a response to a challenge set by Kimpa. (Out in the Country was also a response to the same challenge.)

Riddle Incomplete (A Sonnet Story) - Takes place after "Paper Hearts"

Be Still My Heart - Takes place after "Paper Hearts"

Time Like a Heartbeat  - Takes place after "Memento Mori"

Heart of Midnight - Takes place after "Redux II"

You don't need summaries, just read them. 🙂

Anne takes "Riddle Incomplete" to the next level with the Hearts Series. Some wonderful hurt/comfort smut from a talented author.

This took a bit of co-ordination to cross reference this week's fics, hopefully I haven't messed it up.

Sleep is Sweeter: Aftermath by M Partous

3,000 Words

Sleep is Sweeter Aftermath cover

Forget Jose Chung, fake alien autopsies and sweet potato pie. The real X-File? What actually happened in the motel room that night…

Author's Note: This is really meant as a tribute to Anne Haynes, whose sonnet series continues to entertain me to no end. "Sleep is Sweeter" is her contribution to the Jose Chung "What-really-happened-in-that-hotel-room-that-night" scene; I felt Chris Carter missed a real opportunity to make fun of us relationshippers by putting them in bed together and, as Paula (AKA Anne) suggests, making what subsequently happened very unclear.

It probably doesn't matter too much about interchanging Paula/Anne's name now, but I still have trouble doing it. Sleep is Sweeter is in the Sonnet Series. You should really read it first. This story takes Sleep is Sweeter and runs wild with it.

After the Louvre by DBKate

6000 Words

After the Louvre cover

After the Louvre I - After the events in Gethsemane, Mulder & Scully go on the run to an unusual place and discover some hidden feelings.

After the Louvre II: Escape - Hiding out in Europe after the events in Gethsemane, Mulder & Scully head to London. Second installment of After the Louvre.

Some classic smuttiness for hump day this week.  This one harkens back to Season 4's Gethsemane - Mulder is 'dead' and Scully has cancer, so they run off to Paris to escape the consortium.

Dark Seed by bugs

120,000 Words

Dark Seed cover

The remaining members of the Consortium have a new, desperate plan. Mulder and Scully are at the center of these machinations, and they struggle to deal with the intimate relationship that results.

CONTENT WARNING: This story contains mature subject matter, including sexual situations, violence, and imagery that may be disturbing to sensitive readers.

Contains all three books.

This can be quite the dark story at times. It's an often uncomfortable Mulder and Scully, floundering a little to find their place in each other's worlds with all the changes thrust upon them by the consortium, but they do find their stride often enough to satisfy.  They do get put through a few trials though, and there are a few twists and turns at the end to keep you on the edge. It's definitely worth a read. I even managed to make it through the pregnancy/baby factor completely unscathed.

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 😉

SCHIZOPHRENIC: Scully deals with her split personalities, and what it means for she and Mulder.

BREAKDOWN: Tonight we’re different. Mulder will not speak.

TREATMENT: Mulder gives Scully what she wants…

SHATTERED: Was it a mistake?”

JLB was pissy with Mulder after "One Son" at the writing of this series.  As a result, we were blessed with a moody, desperate series of stories, with our heroes seemingly losing themselves and each other.  They take their discontent out on each other sexually while they try to work through their issues.

Dawn Patrol by Octavian

Dawn Patrol cover

A pair of 800-power binoculars can certainly make the day go faster.

It tickles my voyeuristic MSR tendencies to read a third party's observations of Mulder and Scully. There is a tragic beauty to this story as well. It's a memorable, classic MSR fic.

Ancient Elements Series by MCA

10,000 Words

Ancient Elements cover

UNDERTOW: The danger of the oceans is that you can never see the undertow until it’s too late.

NIGHT FLIGHT: A flight home and a realization of what waits.

ABLAZE: Scully discovers that surrendering to your fears is sometimes the greatest freedom.

PLATE TECHTONICS: How do we measure time, and how do we know where we belong? Mulder muses about Scully

Originally written under the pen name "Mesa".

Some MSR erotica in a series of four vignettes representing the four elements: water, air, fire and earth.

D'oh. I just found this one on AO3 as well... I've added a link.  AO3 is about the only archive I haven't bulk downloaded so I miss things that are posted there, particularly in the past, all the time.

Dangerous by Yonada

3,000 Words

Dangerous cover

The ride home from the hospital following Memento Mori gets "hot" and emotional.

Confession time. While I was totally incapacitated, the only thing I was still  capable of doing was making MSR smut images. Consequently there are a lot of smutty covers at the moment as I've felt obliged to turn the full smut into useful images. I'm actually considering posting the unadulterated images in a secret directory on x-trash, but that would show people just how depraved I really am, so I'm still not sure... 😉

I had only planned to upload twice a week as I ease my way back into being productive again, but there are a few short ones I'd like to add so figured I'd go back to the "hump day" short fics. They may not be all PWP this time, there are also some classic fics and vignettes I'd like to add. I figured I'd stay in the road trip theme for this one.

By popular demand, I have started a secret page at x-trash for the smutty images underneath some of the covers. You can find it here. The password is "smut".

Open Air Series by Jenna Tooms

Open Air covers

Stopping for the night on a long drive, Scully discovers the joys of sleeping in the great outdoors.

Another road trip story.  Mulder, Scully, a cold night, and sleeping bags.  There's nothing quite like sleeping outdoors under the stars.  Moose & Squirrel make it a lot sexier than my experience though.

Bend in the Road (The) by Kelly K

12,000 Words

Bend in the Road cover

I am angry right now. I’m not sure what galls me the most—that Mulder left and made me worry about him, that he ditched me to be with Diana Fowley, or how I reacted when I learned that he hadn’t been alone on his little hiatus. At first I was just angry with Mulder, but now I’m also angry with myself. I’ve behaved foolishly and I’m not sure how to retreat. I have fallen in love with Mulder and I don’t know how to stop.

When I last posted, I was about to get back on the road to drive home. I got home and fell apart. I haven't been able to even read fanfic in the last 5 months. I have a lot of catching up to do...

I thought it would be appropriate to post a couple of Mulder/Scully on-the-road fics. Their road trips are far more exciting than mine.  This one comes after the angst of One Son, and Scully is questioning her future with Mulder. Don't worry, there's a happy ending...

Married Series by Angela W

355,000 Words

Married Series cover

All 50 of Angela W's Married Series stories in one volume.

While on a case in Las Vegas, Mulder and Scully achieve some professional - and personal - goals. Basically, this is the way I would like to see the TV series end, then see future movies, etc. take off from this point.

There is no way I'm going to list all 50 summaries here. Angela creates her own little universe that continues to cross paths with season 6 & 7 canon, often as part of a bigger universe including some crossovers.

I'm stuck in the wet tropics for extra time, with the rain pouring down, and since I no longer have my daily bat-feeding chores I'm going to try to do some more uploads.

I had this fic playing in my car using text-t0-speech and I had to turn it off when it started making the cassowaries and crocodiles blush. There is some A-Grade smut in this one.  Although this fic is a little mushy in places for my liking, that's purely my preference, and I know some of you will particularly enjoy this entire series. A few of the individual stories are still standouts in my view regardless of their marital or family status. 🙂

Everything That Really Matters by Dyann Z

20,000 Words

Everything that Really Matters cover

The passage of time has a way of making everything all right.

Don't be too worried about the Character Death or Scully/Other tags 🙂

Seeing as I'm stuck in Tropical North Queensland for a while, I felt it only fitting that I bring you all along with me. This fic is set about 20km (13mi) south of where I am now. It's actually a tiny little village with about 4 streets, and no actual 'downtown' but obviously fictional liberties have been taken.  I have included a few photos to give you a feel for it. I actually took some more of the beach itself on my last visit here but they were among the ones I accidentally deleted it seems.

Last time I stopped for Fish & Chips there there was a "Recent Crocodile Sighting" warning sign on entry to the beach.  While Scully and William had a nice time on the beach, it's not quite that relaxing when you have to watch out for saltwater crocodiles and cassowaries, and it's also not wise to swim in the water without wearing a stinger-suit because of marine stingers. Typical Australia where everything is out to kill you.  It really is a beautiful part of the world though with tropical rainforest coming right down to glorious white beaches, so I'll allow Dyann her artistic license.  [SPOILER] I can see why Mulder would want to live there, although I think he might prefer the remoteness of north of the Daintree River, where I am now, where it's off the grid, and where clothing is just a nuisance half the year when it's pouring with rain and/or the humidity is so high that nothing dries, and there are vast tracts of rainforest between h0uses. 😉 You just have to put up with bad satellite internet 😀 [/SPOILER]

As far as the story goes, it's set after Mulder leaves at the beginning of Season 9 - it goes off into its own dimension shortly afterwards, so the further events of Season 9 and everything that follows have all just ceased to exist. I love fanfic.  Don't worry about the Character Death warning, this is the X-Files  🙂

Dogged Determination Interlude V -The Greatest Gifts : Mulder ponders the meaning of Christmas. A short, sappy finale.

Oh, it's lovely being off-grid in the rainforest, but this satellite internet is going to drive me crazy when I have to refresh 3 times to load or save anything. I'll have to see how it goes as far as uploading while I'm here.

I listened to this one during most of the drive up. I had no idea how long it was, but it kept me occupied as I drove and made me drive extra carefully during certain scenes as I didn't want to have to submit dashcam footage with M&S in explicit flagrante delicto if I happened to crash while that was going on.

Anyway, this one is case related, it's actually a crossover at times but you don't need to know the other source/s, and packed full of MSR. Be aware that some parts come with content warnings, which I've tried to add to the descriptions above.

I won't be able to add the web version for this one, due to its size and the internet issues that I'm not up for facing right now. 🙂 I can't add the extra artwork either...

Momentary Lapses (DashaK):  What do mortal sins, fever in the blood, Cuban rum drinks, swollen noses, salty tattoos, and hotel rooms in three states have in common?

Bless me, father, for I have sinned.  I have committed the unpardonable error of sleeping with my partner. On three separate occasions.

You may have wondered how they fought the intense desire from time to time. Turns out they didn't. 😀

By Coincidence by Cathleen Faye

By Coincidence cover

Set 1995, following End Game. As Mulder recovers from his brush with death, across town, Scully uncovers a moment from his past. Is it just coincidence that draws Mulder and Scully to the same place at the same time on a lazy Sunday – or it fate lending a hand? Either way, you just never know where the day might take you. This is really an in-depth character study, with angst, humor, love, pain, and the whole damn thing...Oh, and generous helping of smut.

I was so pleased to see that Cathleen (Chimerical) added all her fics to AO3. I've added links to two of the stories I've already posted here as well.

It certainly fits that Mulder hates weekends because Scully isn't there. But things start to look up when he runs into her after she and Melissa visit an old book store... A deep dives into the minds and hearts of Moose and Squirrel early on in their partnership.

Since Scully trashed her copy, I've attempted to recreate the image mentioned in the story. (Spoiler + nekkid Mulder alert.) Click here to see the image.

Mulder and Scully realize that their journey has led them to each other. This is a 5 chapter late-season 7 slow burn. Post episodes for per manum, millennium, sein und zeit , closure, and all things.

Nuptiae Sub Rosa cover

A series of canon-compliant missing scenes showing that the dynamic of Mulder and Scully’s relationship may have changed much earlier than previously thought.

 

Xfmaweezy has been a wonderful friend to me while I've been feeling less than awesome, and she sent me this fic to read when I was struggling with reading anything. I'm so glad she did. It certainly cleared me of the lingering angst I was feeling with the heaviness of the Goshen Universe fics. It's humourous, it's serious, and it's hot as hell as it follows the ups and downs of the Mulder-Scully dynamic from Seasons 4 to 7. I love it so much. Thank you K.

Tomorrow is my 28th X-Files anniversary. ?  I was hooked when the pilot episode first aired in Australia on 17 February 1994.  Thankfully I recovered from the personality defect that caused me to spend the first 5 years of the show as a noromo, to enable me to now relish in the raw purity that is unencumbered Mulder-Scully sex during the pilot episode.

ScullyGolightly wrote ten stories in the series; each of them is a standalone and just a bit of harmless fun. Although it hasn't been added to since 2019, I do hope there are still some yet to be written that will appear at the series link one day without warning...

Black Tie Affair by somekindofseizure

20,000 Words

Black Tie Affair cover

Black Tie Affair #1:  Written for a prompt: "If you keep looking at me like that, we're not going to make it to a bed."

Black Tie Affair #2: Mulder and Scully get dressed up once again and play spies as they try to catch some elusive bad guys.

Black Tie Affair #3:  Mulder and Scully continue their roles as Spies.

Black Tie Affair #4: Another assignment, but Scully thinks she's outfoxed Mulder this time.

Black Tie Affair #5: Mulder and Scully go to the South of France while on the job as international spies.

Black Tie Affair #6: Mulder and Scully's international intrigue continues...

Black Tie Affair #7: Mulder and Scully's assignment comes to an end.

Although there are 2 more parts of the Goshen Universe to post, I've had to take a short break from it while I fix some stuff up behind the scenes. It's all available at AO3 anyway.

I felt the need to lighten the mood a little, so I've gone with some smut-humour, or humoritca as I refer to it.  I just adore this series by somekindofseizure. Mulder and Scully are temporarily assigned to "The jewel and art thief rich criminal James Bond Thomas Crown spy ring division" of the FBI, and are arguably the worlds worst spies. In their defense though, they have a lot of distractions to deal with. I'm LMAO just thinking about it.

The main link to AO3 will take you to the series, otherwise each individual story is linked above.

Secret World by Bonetree

147,000 Words

Scully goes deep undercover to find the secret behind a mysterious death. But with what she learns, will she ever be able to come in from the cold?

!Please check the content warnings

A Scully-centric fic that plays to Scully's strengths without turning her into a saint. Meanwhile, poor Mulder is struggling with the separation, and Skinner is having headaches trying to keep him out of trouble.

Bonetree writes a compelling story with some fascinating characters. As Scully gets deeper into the case, we feel Mulder's angst and desperation over his lack of control.  There's also some wonderful Mulder-doctoring and caring for an injured Scully, and of course, some considered smut.

Desire is Suffering by Darwin

Desire is suffering cover

Scully makes a difficult decision which forever alters her life, her career, and her relationship with Mulder.

Scully out-ditches Mulder in this one, leaving him with some major separation anxiety.  Sweet angst in Darwin's first XF fanfic.

Maybe I’m Amazed by Abracadabra

Maybe I'm Amazed cover

New Year’s Eve redux. (post Millennium)

I'm sorry I am very late uploading today's fic. I just couldn't decide what to upload. I'm 4 weeks into my medication holiday, and have the concentration of -- look a squirrel!  Seriously, I really wanted to post a story with a bit of an x-file and plot and so on, but I haven't been able to read much at all. Consequently, this is another smut indulgence.

I try to add a little note into calibre after I've read something to remind me of what the story was.  The note on this one was "a 14,000 word PWP". Upon re-reading it, i can add that there is a small amount of plot, as Mulder asks Scully out on a date after their Millennium lip-lock, but the climax of the story, so to speak, is extremely lovingly crafted in great detail by Abracadabra.

There are 2 more hours of 2021 in my part of the world, so I will wish you all a very Happy New Year and all the best for 2022.  I can't make any promises as to uploads over the next couple of weeks given how much I struggled today, but I will try. 🙂

 

Christmas Beginning & New Year’s Slowly by Diehard

10,000 Words

Christmas Beginning cover

Christmas Beginning: What were those presents, and how did Christmas Day shape up for out two heroes?

New Year's Slowly: After letting the cat out of the bag, Mulder and Scully spend the week between Christmas and New Year’s together.

Post-eps for How the Ghosts Stole Christmas.

Continuing with the Christmas theme, here's some Diehard.  Season 6, post HTGSC, Bill Scully Jr gives his sister grief about a certain partner, causing Scully to leave and return to said partner. Tried and tested plot with tried and tested results. 😉

Familiar Heart, A by Mish

72,000+ Words

A Familiar Heart cover

The Best Years of our Lives meets Magnificent Obsession Mulder and Scully style.  An alternative universe story, set in the 1940s.

This includes the sequel, An Unchanged Soul, which actually brings the word count up to 203,000 words.  This second story is unfinished, so it's up to you whether you embark on the extra 130,000 words knowing that there will be no ultimate resolution.

I don't usually read alternate universe stories, but I started this one without realising and had to keep reading.

This one had enough tension to keep me hooked the whole way. I've included the incomplete sequel. Mish tended to write a lot of stories at the same time, and consequently there are quite a few of hers that were never completed.  I was tossing up whether to include this story here due to the disappointment when I found the sequel wasn't complete, but the original story is worthwhile. You can decide for yourself whether to keep reading.

Santa-Faction Stories by Susanne Barringer

9,500 Words

Santa-faction cover

Can't Get No Santa-Faction: Holiday fluff. For Christmas, Mulder gets what he asked for, but not what he expected.

Santa-Faction Guaranteed: Mulder goes to Scully's on Christmas Eve and tries again with the Christmas present.

 

 

This is a second Christmas Day release. Releases have happened outside the normal M-W-F this week, so make sure you check the latest releases page to be sure you haven't missed anything.

I certainly hope those of you with religious leanings are up to date with your church/synagogue/mosque/mass etc attendance before you read this year's seasonal selection of smut. Alternatively, you can always try for forgiveness after the fact.

Lord of Misrule (The) by Dyann Z

22,500 Words

Lord of Misrule cover

Mulder and Scully spend the holidays together and discover what they want out of life. Schmaltzy, smut-filled fare.

Scully invites Mulder to the family Christmas celebrations since Bill's not supposed to be there... angst and smut ensues (my favourite phrase).

I hope any celebrations you might have over the festive season go better than the Scully Family Christmas, and that you get just as much excellent smut as our heroes.

I do have a version of the cover without the modesty santa cap. If I get a few likes over at the x-sites facebook page, I'll post an uncensored version for your Mulder-ogling pleasure. 🙂

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.

Mistletoe by A N Turkington

16,000 Words

Mistletoe cover

“So why do we get dragged to the First Annual FBI Christmas Party? And might I add what a dumb idea that is in the first place. Formal dress, black tie, a bunch of boring federal agents pretending to be interesting for a night. And very convenient, about a hundred of us all in one place. Hope they haven’t received any bomb threats.”

Oh dear. I'm so scatterbrained right now I shouldn't even be allowed on the internet without supervision. This is my brain without drugs. 😀 I am persisting though,  otherwise there'd be no updates until at least mid-January when I start taking my new medication. Wash out periods suck.

Anyhoo, the foreword of this fic mentions Fire and Ice by Jennifer Stoy. I quickly posted it here last night, then just now realised that it's already included in Shippers Digest 6: FBI Ball edition. I'm removing the standalone version, because there's no point having it here twice. However, I'll keep the html version of Fire and Ice here for easy reference, should you be curious.

This is a very early example of smutty MSR, written in 1995. It starts with the ever-popular FBI Ball trope before Scully takes Mulder to a cabin in a ski resort area to avoid being alone for Christmas. There's a little angst mixed in as roughage. Enjoy.

Spin by Rachel Lee Arlington

Spin cover

Alcohol makes people do the strangest things ...

!dubcon (both drunk)

This probably isn't the strangest thing I could think of making these particular people do. 😉  I admit that it's not a particularly original concept. But it is the festive season, so please enjoy some drunken party  shenanigans.

I've been very scatterbrained this week, and had a lot of trouble trying to decide which stories to upload. Then I kept forgetting which stories I'd prepared and did a few extra. Then I ended up posting a fic that wasn't specifically Christmas related as the first of the seasonal fics...  My loss of focus is your gain as long as I don't get too distracted again - I'll try to remember to post a couple of those accidental extra festive stories this week.

Heat by Spooky’s Girl

4,000 Words

Heat cover

She had the power tonight.

I noticed as I added the fics for the rest of the week that there hasn't been as much smut as usual posted lately.  I decided to post this extra smut to make up for this.

This PWP from Spooky's Girl has a slight angsty jealousy bouquet. There's nothing about the /other tags to worry about.

I assure you that there's some good stuff on the horizon. 🙂

Fugue by RivkaT

26,000 Words

Fugue cover

This one's a bit unusual as RivkaT wants you to read the opening scene before you get to read the summary. The only hint before reading is "It's not what you think. At least, I hope not."

Trust me, it's worth reading the first scene to get to the summary.

RivkaT starts this one with our agents hot and heavy.  It does get progressively more angsty as they find themselves in a dangerous predicament.  An excellent fic.  There are some mild dubcon elements if you overthink it, so try not to overthink it.

Scattered Leaves : Fall by Abracadabra

190,000 Words

Scattered Leaves cover
Part of the Seasons series:

Scattered Leaves: This is the third in the Seasons Series; the sequel to Shadows on the Sun. Mulder goes undercover, Scully goes to a conference. Some unanswered questions...

Going Up, Going Down: A smut companion to Scattered Leaves. Yes, I can picture Mulder in almost any setting. And yes, I appreciate his 'backside'.
You do not need to have read the series to read this one.

Outstanding in her Field: A PWP sequel to Going Up/Going Down. Mulder teaches Scully a new game. Not necessary to have read GU/GD, but it helps...

There's still trouble in paradise as Mulder and Scully are sent to Vermont for different reasons.  Mulder is the worst deep undercover agent that the bureau has ever seen as his focus keeps shifting from the job he's there to do. 😀

You might be able to gather from the companion fics included that they do sort out their differences.  This is the final volume of the Seasons Series.

Snowed Inn : Winter by Abracadabra

130,000 Words

Snowed Inn cover

Includes "She Wears It Well"

Snowed Inn: First in the Seasons Series. Mulder & Scully travel to a country Inn to help solve a murder. [Teens & Up]

She Wears it Well: Snowed Inn Universe - They're in a close, intimate relationship. A little window-shopping in Boston. You don't have to have read Snowed Inn to 'get' this one.  [Adults only]

.

Mulder and Scully have to investigate a strange case in the snow, whilst coming to terms with their feelings for each other.

They've most certainly come to terms with that in the companion fic, She Wears It Well. Some intense heat, despite the cold weather. 😉

Drive Away by Jori & MoJo

7,000 Words

Drive Away cover

After sitting through a 'guy flick,' a slightly drunken Scully grants Mulder three wishes and fun ensues.  Post episode for Je Souhaite

Fantasies are fulfilled. What more can you ask for?

This might be the last hump-day smutfic I post for a bit as I have some other more substantial goodies to upload. I tend to scratch around for a Wednesday PWP at the last moment, so it may be better to just toss them in randomly instead.

Out in the Country by Jacquie LaVa

10,000 Words

Out in the Country cover

A drive into the country to retrieve an heirloom gives our heroes quite a full day... in more ways than one!

Halloween themed smut, with thanks to a perennial favourite author, Jacquie LaVa.  Jacquie's work was very popular when published under her original name, but was mostly withdrawn when she began publishing her original novels. Some works have been permitted to be republished without the identifying information, which means that I'm unable to direct you to the name you can find the author's current work under.  It's probably not too difficult to work out with a bit of detective work though. 🙂

Ghost of Millcreek Inn by Tess & Jacquie LaVa

61,000 Words

Ghost of Millcreek Inn cover

She felt the familiar, haunting ache of her loss and the renewed stirring of a love stolen from her too soon

I'm still away from home,  but I'm now on a road trip in central Australia. Despite the fact that I'm in the middle of the desert, heading for Uluru, I couldn't let October 13th go by without a Mulder Birthday fic.  Despite this being Season 9 AU family-fic, I can make an exception to my kid-fic aversion when it comes to Tess and Jacquie. 🙂 Enjoy.
