Regaining Perspective & Judgement Trilogy by abracadabra

80,000 Words

Regaining Perspective & Judgement Trilogy cover

I.  Regaining Perspective and Judgment:  Mulder needs to use up vacation time or lose it. Scully joins him.

II. Undercover Phase: The vacation is cut short when the agents are called to New Hampshire for a case, working closely with an agent they don't share a lot of fondness for.

III. He Said/She Said: Mulder and Scully attend a National Law Enforcement Conference in Hilton Head...and need some therapy

This early abracadabra story was only available on her homepage. Mulder and Scully begin to get closer when they're sent undercover on a case with an agent they've had issues with in the past.

I was editing this one before I read it (it was a mess of text without paragraph spaces or indents, with the added difficulty of random line-breaks in the middle of paragraphs, which would never have passed through the auto-conversion I usually do) and noticed it was written in present tense. It looked awkward when I was editing it, but I didn't notice it as Microsoft David read it to me.  BTW, as I cheated so as not to have to manually edit the entire thing, there may be random breaks in sentences based on quotation marks... sorry. I've added a link to the geocities.ws page so you can enjoy it in its original format if you prefer. 🙂

God Hates a Coward by Shelby Parker

7,500 Words

God Hates a Coward cover

Under unusual circumstances, Scully and Mulder find out that the biggest of leaps start with one small step.

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

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

Gazebo by Mish

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...

Fifteen Minute Window by WhiteRaevyn

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.

Slip Me the Wiener, Spooky-Boy by Jacquie LaVa

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.

Black Tie Affair by somekindofseizure

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.

Christmas Beginning & New Year’s Slowly by Diehard

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.

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.

Taking Liberties (Neon Universe Vol 1) by ImAStinker

89,000 Words

Taking Liberties cover

Taking Liberties: While the X-Files are shut down, Mulder drags Scully to California to celebrate her birthday, but the case he's assigned to keeps getting in the way...

Bokor Holiday: Mulder takes it upon himself to save Scully from a voodoo curse, but ends up needing saving himself.

Code of Silence: Scully tricks Mulder into agreeing to participate in hypnotherapy to help him with his insomnia and some recurring nightmares.

Child's Play: Mulder and Scully are given a young girl to baby-sit. What they weren't told is that she 'witnessed' a murder without actually being there.

Mulder and the Stinking, Rotten, Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day: Mulder experiences a definite low.

Forgotten Souls: Our heroes may have gotten in over their heads and need a little 'outside' intervention when some old enemies return. First appearance of Dr.Jay.

When Pigs Fly:
Mulder baby-sits some small relatives, much to his dismay, and everything that could go wrong, does go wrong...

Double Vision: Mulder sees and hears strange things after a near death experience from trying vainly to save a woman's life.

Oh, What A Night: On Halloween, Mulder is drafted to baby-sit some small relatives and his well-meaning efforts to take them trick or treating cause nothing but trouble. Co-written by FancyKatz

On The Edge: Mulder finds comfort from his loss with someone who shares it.  [Warning: Post-ep for "3".  Not essential reading if you prefer to deny that episode never happened.]

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.

No Title by The Alexandria Trio

No Title Cover

Love knows no national boundaries or gender differentiation: Everyone loves Scully.

The Alexandria Trio are Lucy Marchmont, kmom, & bcfan

Some absolute silliness for the end of the July Frenzy of Fanfic. If nothing else it should make you smile.

As I only had a tiny version of the cover for this one, I've taken the liberty of playing with it a little in versions where it's going to be blown up bigger. 🙂

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.

Smart-ass smut and general silliness.

Dance Card Series by Sabine

22,500 Words

Dance card cover

A series of stories about how Scully's past has shaped the woman
she is now. There is no such thing as the road not taken.

Dance Card: 
"I'm grounded and rusty; my dance card is dusty now.
Because I wanted to be what the angels see when they
look down: just a couple on the avenue with their
feet on the ground."

What Happened After That:
There is only one way to recover from a night in New York.

Moonshine:
And there are always consequences, though it takes a little
moonshine to loosen lips.

Sabine has a wonderful narrative style. She takes us back to Scully's college days and the one that never was...

I hate it when my covers just don't want to turn out the way I want them to. I've made an adjustment to the text after the initial upload and this version looks cleaner, but just know that the fic is better than the cover!!!!

Having a Happy X-Mas by Ten

Having a Happy X-Mas cover

Let's continue Christmas morning 1998...

This story continues on from "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas".

I've been convinced that I could probably post another festive fic since one of the fourteen wasn't holiday themed, so here's a short, sweet 1998 post HTGSC fic by a fellow Aussie who hadn't actually seen the episodes yet because we were always months behind the USA.  😀

I've used a collage by Tere for the cover.  Tere was probably the artist who inspired me to experiment a bit more with my own digital art, and she also shared a lot of brushes and textures etc, which are still available from classic.tere-art.com (via the wayback machine).

Is it the magic of the Eight Ball, the Christmas spirit, or something that’s been a long time in coming?

Nothing but Christmas cheer, schmoop and smut here. We don't know

Fortunately Mulder and Scully's office parties happened before social distancing ruined all the fun, although  I never had this much fun at any of mine.  Put on some Duran Duran and enjoy.

12 Tales of Christmas by Anne Haynes

12 Tales of Xmas cover

Have yourself a merry little Christmas...

A post-ep for "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas" that continues on through the start of Season 6.

Note: This series isn't related to the other "12" series by Anne Haynes.

Sorry I've been derelict in my uploading duties again, but unfortunately it's par for the course when battling chronic illness. I did really want to get some Christmas fics up so I'm pushing myself to get some holiday joy to you, and hoping that it gets me back on track.   I apologise to those lovely people who've contacted me and I haven't gotten back to you. I'll get there.

This story starts as a relationship story, post HTGSC, but morphs into so much more as Mulder and Scully navigate their way through early Season 6.

Wishing you all the best for the holiday season.

Year of Election by Paul W

21,000 Words

Year of Election cover

Mulder and Scully run for president... as Republicans. Sadly this was 1996 though. 😉

This is a special fic to distract our American readers from the trauma of the US Presidential election.  It's full of humourous situations as our heroes deal with the ups and downs of politics.  I played this in the car on my long drive to the far north of Australia and did manage to laugh out loud a few times.  It features the best episode of Larry King ever, which sadly never made it to air. 🙁

 

I've been temporarily distracted by having to offer my services at the Tolga Bat Hospital, but I'll try to update when I can.

The lovely Observer of the Universe has volunteered to come in and fix up some tags and things, which I'm eternally thankful for. Hopefully we can get some new exciting things happening once bat season is dealt with...

Shipper’s Digest 05: Halloween

Halloween digest cover

A selection of steamy stories where our heroes do the horizontal hula at Halloween. Definitely Adults Only!!!

  1. Scully in Black Leather by HavelockXF
  2. Aloha Puddytat by DFantum
  3. I'd Know You Anywhere by Yonada
  4. The Grim Reaper by Amy McClure
  5. The Treat of an Unexpected Trick by Sister X
  6. Mind Candy by B Dipherowa
  7. Urban Legends by SueBee
  8. And Dance by the Light of the Moon by RivkaT & MustangSally
  9. Master of Reality by Khyber

More treats than tricks. More pocus than hocus.  It's probably not surprising that Mr & Mrs Spooky enjoy halloween.  This is a bit of a mixed bag of stories.  The majority are first time fics.  Most are refreshingly light on plot, but there's a case file in there too. There's a lot of light-hearted fun to enjoy in this batch.

33,000 Words

Legend of the Perfect Union cover

A horrific investigation leads to unprofessional conduct charges against Scully and Mulder, forcing them to question themselves and each other. When they decide to listen to each other, a rather explosive situation develops at a church with a unique history.

This is a beautifully written, action packed fic in which Mulder and Scully have to defend themselves and their actions on a case before attending the wedding of a friend of Scully's.  Sparks fly.

It's rated PG-13 but I've added the higher rating because it's bordering an R in my opinion.  Well worth the read.

  6. Wet and wild sex… some sugar… playing dress up… some more sex…
  7. Mulder and Scully enjoy a quiet evening in the park =)
  8. A climactic finish.

 

I'm pleased to say that I have all the webpages finished of the Orange Tabby Cat Recommends archive. There's just the chasing up of 250 missing story files left to do. I'm cheating a little by linking things that I've already uploaded here, so today's fic is one that I need for the OTC recs site.

All i can remember about this one is one certain scene, and that it's high in smut content. I'll have to have a skim through before I tag it properly. 🙂

... having now re-read it I'm surprised I only remembered one scene.  Hoo-boy!

There For You
There For You: Carpe Diem
There For You: Food For Thought
There For You: Always

Take a trip back to simpler days, when Scully still had her dog Queequeg (renamed Clyde as he sometimes is in  early fics), and before you heard "Fox" in Diana Fowley's voice and never wanted to hear it again.

Join Scully and Mulder as they dodge unwanted attention at a celebratory event, which then develops into wanted attention and their own private events...  This one was a request from Lucy. Thank you. 🙂

Yule Vibrations cover

Yule Vibrations: Mulder buys Scully a naughty Christmas gift and they take it to work.

New Year's  Buzz: Mulder and Scully attend the annual FBI New Year's Ball and Scully's payback's a bitch.

No, it's not Christmas (but I do have a gift for you) and 2020 isn't over with yet (unfortunately), but it is yule downunder.

The gift I have for you is the completed renovation of Donnilee's section of her website.  You'll notice I added a web link.  It just took a little extra time to complete this section after I discovered how bad the original colours looked on mobile screens and had to tone it all down by 1000%.

There's still more to  go - the added author sites aren't yet converted for mobile-friendly browsing, nor is the OTC recs section but I have to slow down a bit due to my advancing age... 😉

These ones are total out-of-character smut-romps, but they're way more enjoyable than the out-of-character anti-smut we get from the Anti-Chris (Carter) 😛  😀

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:

Snapshot by Dawson E Rambo

125,000 Words

Book Cover: Snapshot by Dawson E Rambo

Dawson Rambo thought he was writing a vignette about Mulder & Scully's need for comfort from each other after a tough case. In fact he was writing a novel expanding on this and veering into a mytharc-based X-File epic which puts them up against all kinds of agencies with initialisms from all over the alphabet.

This one's a classic in early MSR. It's an action-adventure-romance written in early season 4 and while it was intended as a vignette it got a bit carried away.

Dawson was flying by the seat of his pants through most of this one, but I think without his ongoing author's notes it won't be so obvious.  I've moved the majority of the notes to the end of the fic, because there were nearly 10,000 words in disclaimers and notes alone, and I don't think you.ll need the detailed instructions on how to ask for missing chapters using his auto email response while reading a complete version.  I've still included them all for nostalgic purposes; you just have to go to the end of the fic to read through them.  For the full 1997 experience you can flick back and forth using the table of contents on the PDF or ePub versions.  You will learn that you could possibly have obtained an Adobe Acrobat copy back then, and you could get a zip version if you didn't have a Mac. 😉

You should at least have a glimpse at the end notes when you've finished reading though. There are  some interesting glimpses into Dawson's mind as he's writing. It's interesting to see what's happening in his head as he's writing, and the author answers a few long-standing curiosities about himself at one stage.  😀

Hardball by Missy P

Book Cover: Hardball by Missy P

Summary withheld at author’s request.

It's enough to say that it's a ball fic, with gossip and jealousy, misdirection and  misunderstanding. 

Note: I'm unsure whether Missy has used her real name so I've just used her last initial on the site.  Her full name is on the dustjacket where it can't be googled.  

 

As often seems to happen, I found Missy's dustjacket after making a new one.  Hers is so much better than mine. 

X-trash now deleted cover. I never was 100% happy with this one so I wish I knew there was another before I uploaded...

He Wore a Fedora Series by JHJArmstrong

Book Cover: He Wore a Fedora Series by JHJArmstrong

He Wore a Fedora: Mulder. Striptease.

Dancing Fool: How did Mulder prepare for his striptease? And how did
Scully handle the knowledge he was going to do it? Prequel to "He
Wore A Fedora." You should probably read (or re-read) that before
you tackle this.

Two to Tango: Mulder and Scully become partners in every sense of the word. Sequel to "Dancing Fool" and "He Wore A Fedora."

Another  frivolous fic for stress release.  This one features Stripper!Mulder doing his thing for Scully at a charity event.  I would have definitely preferred seeing this on TV rather than that nightmare inducing line dancing sequence, so I'm sad that M&S  don't belong to Jodi.  The introduction mentions '1-900-OH-SANTA' which I posted yesterday, but they're not related, so it's not necessary to read that before reading this.

Tam Lin by Pequod

42,000 words

Book Cover: Tam Lin by Pequod

Myth and murder combine in a remote Scottish village and Mulder and Scully investigate.

Pequod gives us that ever-infuriating Mulder who withholds important details but gets away with it because he's adorable.  The plot is strong, as is the UST, until PartyDress!Scully tips that over the edge.  It's a well-written tale with the humour and banter that made me fall in love with Mulder and Scully, set in the beautiful Scottish countryside. And Kilt!Mulder even makes a cameo. 🙂 

Beauty in the Breakdown by Neytirijade

Book Cover: Beauty in the Breakdown by Neytirijade

Mulder tries pushing Scully away to protect her. Scully doesn't give up that easily.

Neytirijade delights us with some MSR smut at the Gunmen's on New Years Eve.  There's a dash of Fowley angst, a pinch of idiotic Mulder, and a splash of self-medicating Scully all whipped up into a delicious coming together. 😉

Mutual: Scully is caught doing something... erm... private. Mulder decides to let her know the feelings are mutual.
Mutual II: Son of Mutual: Back by popular demand, Mulder and Scully continue to prove to each other that the feeling is... you got it, Mutual.
Mutual III: This Time It's Personal: Returning in the third installment of this little series, Mulder and Scully go to the Bureau Ball (thanks to whoever gave me the idea to try and blow the lid off that cliche-ridden experience) and find themselves... in between a rock and a *hard* place?
Mutual IV: Mutual in Space: Mulder and Scully finally do the deed and hundreds of fan fic readers around the world get off my back...

 

Mulder, Scully, and some tropelicious smut, thanks to the wonderful JessM.

This dustjacket was inspired  by (ie totally ripped off from) Fiona's "NightFlight" image, which I believe is an illustration for Sheryl Martin's story of the same name.  I can't post it until I get a few more fics between M & N so the blatant ripoff isn't so blatant...

Girls' Night Out: Scully has a girl's night out that does not end exactly as planned.

As Good As It Gets: Sequel to Girls Night Out, Mulder accompanies Scully to a wedding.  Mulder learns fulfilling his obligations has its benefits …

And though my views may be wrong, they may even be perverted,
She will hear me out, and won’t easily be converted
To my way of thinking, in fact she’ll often disagree,
But at the end of it all, she will understand me…”

Yes, the Depeche Mode might be a little schmaltzy, and the M & S in these stories are a little overly verbose in their gushing expressions of love, but there's wedding sex.  While I prefer them to have to deal with a few bumps on the road to realisation and tiptoe around their feelings a little more, I can make exceptions when I'm given sex at a wedding reception.  😉  At least they don't unnecessarily call each other by first names.

Girls' Night Out is another hard to find fic.  I ended up reading the German version when I couldn't locate a copy of the English one, which my High School German didn't quite do justice to, so I'm glad to have found this, and wanted to make it available again. If you'd like to read it auf Deutsch you can find it at http://worldofx.de

Mulder and Scully are currently stuck under Kersh’s thumb and banned to the bullpen. It’s the week of Valentine’s Day and Scully also finds herself under romantic admiration from another.

Scully has a secret admirer, Fowley's messing with them, and there's an FBI Ball.  I'm a trope tragic.

There's an additional NSFW illustration I did for this one as well, I'll add a thumbnail here that you can click on to view if you're so inclined.

Set between Pine Bluff Variant and The End. The traditional toss of a bridal bouquet at the wedding of a colleague (yes, a cheesey situation, but work with me here) sets Mulder and Scully on a relationship slalom which causes them to question the nature of truth in their lives.

This story is about Mulder and Scully confronting their attraction to each other. It has it’s origins in my desire for Mulder to someday see Scully completely decked out— instead of the usual standard FBI suits he usually sees her in.   It then follows their journey as they negotiate changes to their relationship.

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.
