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.

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.

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. 🙂

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.

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...

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...

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.

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:

Weret-hekau IOHO cover

 

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 ;).

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.

 

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...

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.

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 by Jamie T

Fair is Fair cover

Can men and women live by the same social rules?

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

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

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

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.

Schizophrenic Series by JLB

14,000 Words

Schizophrenic Series cover

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.

Storm in the Teacup by Queen Mab

35,000 Words

Storm in the Teacup cover

A moral tale.

Mulder and Scully head to a small town for a case where people have killed themselves in rather strange ways. Scully's not in the best of moods, given the whole Fowley situation, but they manage to sort things out...

Behaving Badly by LeeLee

22,000 Words

Book Cover: Behaving Badly by LeeLee

Mulder is bound to behave badly if his freedom is curtailed.

I love the premise of this one. Scully is charged with keeping Mulder occupied, away from DC.  She has to resort to extreme measures to constrain an insolent Mulder.  The UST is off the charts.

More outdoor smut. I'm sensing a theme here.

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. 🙂

Playground Series by Fialka

17,000 Words

Playground series cover

Seesaw: All in all, it's been one hell of a year.

Swings & Roundabouts: Between the blanket and the bed, it's anybody's guess...

Sandbox: Balance is a hard thing to keep when the sands continue to shift.

I had hoped to upload a lot more while I've been away on my own, but real life shit is still causing issues. I apologise for the ad-hoc uploads, but it's all I can do right now.

This one's one for the angsty smut lovers. The road to true love never did run smooth, particularly when there's a lack of verbal communication involved.  Fialka takes us through some dark times in Season 7 but eventually brings us out into the light.

Dogged Determination Series by Rhondda Lake

Dogged Determination I - Watched : The Dog Scully takes in is more then he appears to be. Those looking for the animal are willing to kill to get him.

Dogged Determination Interlude I - Linen and Steel : A little erotic interlude.

Dogged Determination Interlude II - The Grapes of Wrath : More total mind candy - breakfast and food fights.

Dogged Determination Interlude III - Icy Hot : At long last we learn what Scully bought with those handcuffs...

Dogged Determination II - Hadinio`gwe'oek : They are gathering.  A dark, Iroquois-inspired tale.   CW: Disturbing imagery

Dogged Determination III - Pandora's Box : Alien DNA, a genius teenager and secrets from the past all end up interrupting Mulder and Scully's life just as Scully discovers some surprising news. Conspiracies, mysteries, some MSR and a dash of the paranormal for extra flavor. CW: Disturbing imagery, Sexual Assault

Dogged Determination Interlude IV - Endless Knot : A brief journal entry.

Dogged Determination IV - Suffer the Children : Horrific murders in Cleveland stall a vacation weekend and Hope's plans to move. CW: Child abuse, child rape, extreme violence.

Dogged Determination V - Watched Over : As Mulder and Scully get settled into a new home and prepare to receive the new arrival they get a call for help from a family vacationing in Colorado. There they must join with Buster and his kin to try and rescue two children in need of help. Introduces the heroes of Dean Koontz's original "The Watchers"

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 cover

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.

Momentary Lapses II: Delirium (Plausible Deniability): Mulder's perspective on the events in "Momentary Lapses".

Momentary Lapses III: Slow (DashaK): Confessions, confessions, plus flying running shoes, lurking nuns, sour cherry muffins, Indian Pudding and slow torture.

Momentary Lapses IV: Good Intentions (Plausible Deniability): Self-recrimination, comfort food, and a resolution.

Momentary Lapses V: Chocolate (DashaK & PD): Sometimes chocolate is a girl's, and a boy's, best friend.

Our favourite agents describe some momentary lapses in control. Some alternating POV from Dasha & PD.

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.

In All Things cover 1

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.

Happy Birthday, Scully!  This season 7 era fic from Peacenik0 follows canon, focussing on some of the angstier episodes, but those episodes bring them closer together IYKWIM.  Plenty of comfort to be had.

Admiralty did some real proper art for this one too:

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.

Pilot Sex Series by ScullyGolightly

Pilot sex series cover

What if Mulder and Scully fucked in the pilot episode? 10 separate stories make up this series.

  1. Mile High Club
  2. Running
  3. Nine Minutes
  4. Mosquito Bites
  5. Trust Me
  6. In The Rain And The Mud
  7. Mirrored
  8.  11:21
  9. There Was A Light
  10. Beyond the Realm of Science

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 #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.

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.

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. 🙂

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.

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.

Ghost of You cover

A body fell from a great height.  But no one knows who it is or where it came from.

This is a truly magnificent work of fiction, featuring Pissy!Scully and SomewhatObliviousButTrying!Mulder. I guarantee that you'll want to read it more than once.

I've been meaning to post some Julie Fortune fics for so long that I was sure I'd already done so. Apparently not. This is a massive oversight that I'll have to make up for.

Reach + Sokol by Khyber

99,000 Words

Reach+Sokol cover

The Reach-Sokol series includes:

  • reach: Mulder and Scully are called off an X-file to an emergency assignment where they have some time alone together. Their reflections and thoughts about the events of the past year lead them both to make certain decisions…
  • day 17: The slipperier part of the seventeenth day of The Great Adventure. Two words—Tattoo Story. Erotica with character insight
  • day 19: Skinner discovers the agents’ relationship through a mysterious package.
  • eldorado bones: Old times and old friends.
  • sokol: A boy, a girl, a girl, a spaceship, and how things end.
  • day 51: Mulder and Scully have sex in the back of a Datsun 260Z… no, seriously, that’s it.
  • dancing skeleton day: Takes place at Christmas 1998, six months after “Reach” and “Sokol,”
  • terminus post quem: Whatever happened to…? Takes place in summer 2002, four years after “Reach” and “Sokol”.

Khyber takes our agents to some original and unique places. He also gives the partners a fun and adventurous sex life without overdoing it, with a few short smutfics interspersed with the main stories. The angst is also tempered with the kind of off-the-cuff snark that Mulder likes to make, and Scully sometimes adopts, and all the ingredients are there for a very entertaining series.

This one's a little large for a story page, but the other usual options are available.

I don't know who made the original covers, but they were originally posted in Khyber's part of alanna.net, but I hadn't seen them at khyberfic.net (this could just be a wayback machine archive issue.) I also spent an entire day making one myself before I realised there were pre-existing covers, so I'm going to include that one here too. 😀

Walking the Cage by Deborah Wells

49,500 Words

Walking the Cage cover

A strange sequence of events are put into play after a heated argument between Mulder and Scully.

Scully is kidnapped again, and Mulder is forlorn, which makes for a happy reunion. A very happy reunion.

Autopsy Fun Series by KirstenK

14,000 Words

Autopsy Fun cover
  1. Autopsy Fun: With a serial killer on the loose, Scully gets her chance to shine.
  2. Autopsy Fun Aftermath: Time to pay the piper...
  3. Autopsy Fun For Real: Finally Scully's getting some real autopsy fun.
  4. Autopsy Fun Continued: Continues where 'Autopsy Fun' left off

What's more fun than our agents engaging in fun times on the job, and particularly in completely inappropriate places? The joys of PWP 😀

The case file is perfunctory in this one. It just balances out the porn:plot ratio a little.

Stain of Purity by Nicknoc

42,000 Words

Stain of Purity cover

Mulder and Scully investigate a series of abductions.

Another Scully-as-decoy story with all the accompanying Mulder!Protectiveness. Boundaries are pushed and then obliterated.  Another great fic from a fellow Aussie.

Puppets Trilogy by M Partous

54,000 Words

Puppets Trilogy cover

Mulder, driven by a need to understand what really happened to his father, decides to head back to the silo (Piper Maru/Apocrypha) to find Alex Krycek, who he's convinced he heard crying out when he and Scully were there.

!CW: consent is freely given, but under circumstances that could be considered duress.

As stated in the author's notes, her wish was to explore the M/S relationship in a way that it "gives them a kind of mystical strength, one that frightens the powers that be, one that could actually help them in their quest for the truth"

Whilst their first time is under less than perfect circumstances, it connects them in a special way that continues through the challenges they face in the rest of the stories. I do have a special love for an early connection between our agents, and this one feels right for them.

Scene of the Crime by Donnilee

6,500 Words

Scene of the Crime cover

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

 

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

Emotional Risk by Exley_61

16,000 Words

Emotional Risk cover

Mulder & Scully are weathering the storm of loves emotional risks, will they survive the deluge?

Mulder notices that Scully has disconnected from their relationship and encourages her to face what's wrong. Whilst my preference is for first time fics, Exley does magical things in the raising of the angst levels of this one to maintain the intensity.

I decided to go a little full-smut with this dustjacket, sorry. I've attempted to make it artistic though 😀 I admit to going full-smut often, I usually just don't post those images or hide them behind more acceptable things...

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".

Under the Influence by Ktblle

5,000 Words

Under the Influence cover

“If you stop, I promise I will fuck you within an inch of your life tonight.”

Note: Special stunt clones were used in this fic. Please don't try this yourself.  CW: Drunken shananigans.

A shoutout to the bartenders of DC who go above and beyond to ensure their drunken clientele make it home safely by calling a trusted colleague. Don't be expecting much more in the way of plot in this one. Your're welcome.

Complications Trilogy by Sarah Kiley

308,000 Words

Complications Cover

Complications: After Mulder is in a car accident, Scully continues her investigation in an effort to save him.

Second Chances: Four months after being arrested, Mulder breaks out of prison and seeks Scully's help in clearing his name. To do so, they must make a cross-country trip on the run from the law while Scully has second thoughts about marrying another man. Could this be Mulder and Scully's second chance?

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

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

All covers are by Sarah.

Another cover for Complications, this one's from the Annex.

 

Rumor & Bartering Contentment by Beduini

Rumor + Bartering Contentment cover

Rumor: It started like many rumors do - in the ladies room on the sixth floor. This time it happened to be during the five-minute break between departmental speakers in the first quarterly review of the new Millennium.

Bartering Contentment: Turning fledgling physical intimacy into a relationship you can wear every day.

Two glorious stories from Beduini. Some Scully/Mulder violence is involved in our agents' first frenetic coming together.

We’re Married Now by Skinfull

60,000 Words

We're Married Now cover

Mulder and Scully go undercover as a married couple to infiltrate a cult in Arizona.

"Look, this was supposed to be a short fic for a 6k word count challenge, but here we are about 60k+ words later, and half way through it basically just turned to smutty smutty smuttness. The case is weak, please don't come here looking for resolution on a casefic. Its contrived, all the tropes, set up for sex. Sorry not Sorry. ¯_(ツ)_/¯"

Skinfull has been churning out novels recently; this is the only one I've had a chance to read so far, but she's an author who's been providing great content for 2 decades so head over to AO3 and read them all! 🙂

Like a Turtle on its Back by Jo-Ann L

25,000 Words

Like a Turtle cover

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

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

Sunflowers in the Rain by Scullys_laughter

15,000 Words

Sunflowers in the Rain cover

As Mulder and Scully’s longing for each other is getting more and more unbearable a case file and Scully’s dreams take them to an isolated hotel in the mountains. Amid a missing persons’ investigation, a family mystery resurfaces, leading to discoveries, adventures, and revelations.

This week's link to AO3 is another from last year's fabulous case file exchange.  There are still some I haven't read, but I'm getting there.

Colors by Amperage, Livengoo, Monkeyboy & Rodent

27,000 Words

Colors cover

Scully has an itch to scratch, but has trouble getting the right spot.

AUTHORS’ NOTE: Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away … Oh, wait a minute, that’s a different story … Ah yes, how to explain Colors … Let’s just say that we decided if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, but let’s do it tongue firmly in cheek. Yes, there’s lots of firm things in this, and soft luscious goodies, and all the deep cerulean pools one could ever hope to gaze into. That’s right, we wrote a romance … well, as close to a romance as you’ll probably ever get out of this bunch of non-romantics.

Actually, it’s more about sex and comedy than romance, but we honestly are trying to get Mulder and Scully together. They’re just … just … guess you’ll just have to read to find out.

There's no other story quite like this round robin written in 1995. I'm still laughing from just attempting to come up with a summary. There's not much more I can say that the authors haven't said above. If you like some fun, burlesque smut, read it NOW. Even if you've already read it.

Last Gift (The) by Promise64

55,000 Words

Last Gift cover

The damage even a deception made out of love can create, the importance and resurrection of hope, and the journey back from the edge of despair.Mulder disappears, presumed dead, until he returns years later to rescue Scully from imminent danger.

You can imagine how Scully would feel to have the person she's mourned for 3 years suddenly turn up and take her away.  Scully has understandably mixed feelings about the whole thing, and they have to process those feelings whilst stuck together, heavily reliant on one another. Lots of delicious angst...

DK’s Secret & Scully and the Gap Man by AliciaK

19,000 Words

Smartass Smut cover

Mulder takes Scully out on a long overdue date, and discovers what little secret she has hiding underneath her staid suits.

Smart-ass smut and general silliness.

Some first date fic, then Scully family gathering fic by AliciaK. Double the hump day fun.

Game (The) by Diana Battis

4,900 Words

The Game cover

Learning to play can be dangerous.

Another delightful fic from Diana Battis for hump day.

Yee Haw & Much More by Satina

61,000 Words

Yee Hawj & more cover

Yee-haw : Rated NC-17, MSR RST, H : Mulder and Scully go undercover (or is that under covers?) as a married couple working on a ranch. When Mulder is injured in a sensitive place, who will provide the TLC he needs?

Two of a Kind : Rated NC-17, MSR RST, dub-con elements : Post-ep to "Three of a Kind" in which the Lone Gunmen find Scully under the influence of the injected drug and instead of just knocking her out, they call Mulder.

If I Were Her... : Rated NC-17, M/S : Musings of a fellow female agent.
If I Were Him... : Rated NC-17, M/S : Musings of a fellow male agent.

Drawing a Bath : Rated NC-17, MSR, UST, 'bation : Scully draws a bath while talking with Mulder on the phone.

OutFoxed : Rated NC-17, Sc/O, MSR RST : Scully has a boyfriend. Mulder doesn't like him. All is not what it seems.

Rose Petal : Rated PG , MSR : Post-ep to "Never Again" in which Mulder's thoughts during Scully's absence are examined. Sorry, no smut here, just an angst-fest.

Not Everything Is About You : Rated NC-17, MSR, BDSM : Another "Never Again" post-ep. "You know, this is unacceptable. If he's going to treat me like his slave, he's gonna learn to do it right."

This last story includes Krycek non-con with Scully so I've put it at the end should you wish to skip it.

Dark Secrets : Rated NC-17, Sc/K non-con, MSR RST : Post-ep to "Paper Clip" in which instead of Krycek and Cardinal shooting Scully's sister at her apartment, Krycek goes to Scully's apartment, ties her up and makes her call Mulder, who has to watch while he does nasty things to her.

This anthology doesn't include Not an Exercise in Subtlety or Risky Business, which are already available at x-libris.


Before Satina went over to the slash side, and occasionally afterwards, she wrote some extremely satisfying MSR erotica. She had a gift for capturing the intense desire our agents had for one another. These are those stories (plus one PG fic and minus the ones above that I've already posted here.)

If you're interested in reading Satina's Mulder/Krycek fics, they can be found at HegalPlace.com on wayback.

Kacaso made covers for many of these fics, but sadly few of the M/S ones remain.

Book Cover: Everlasting by Donna

Everlasting includes the series beginning with Returning Home.

  • Returning Home: She needs him to come home
  • At Last: At last
  • Lasting: Reuniting
  • Everlasting: Completeness

 

 

A tribute to Mulder for Father's Day.

Dad!Mulder can be a beautiful thing, if it doesn't remind you of how badly the whole William thing was handled in canon. This is just a short series set some time after William's birth.

Fortunately Donna's made an attempt to make things right in this one, and there's even some bonus Skinner!Torture 🙂

Risky Business by ShannonK & Satina

11,500 Words

Risky Business cover

While at a boring pathology convention out of town, Scully receives a friendly hello from her partner. Things get friendlier...and friendlier.

PWP as promised. 🙂

Our agents definitely missed each other while Scully was out of town.

Dimestore Hooker by Jori

3,000 Words

Dimestore Hooker cover

Imagine that Phillip Padgett is still alive somewhere and typing out a life for Scully and her love, Mulder. Hence, Mulder might be able to see colors -- vivid, hot colors. And Scully might be a little feral. Phil does not make an appearance in this piece, though.

If you like a Scully who knows what she wants and goes get it, you should enjoy this feral Scully who's been taken for granted once too often...

Risqué (and other Magik) by Pywacket

12,000 Words

Pywacket Anthology cover

An anthology of Stories from Pywacket:

  1. Impure thoughts: A man walks into a bar.
  2. Exorcism in Blue: By all rights, this should have been an excruciating weekend. He had been reeling from his mother’s death, still coming to grips with Samantha’s fate, when he received a call from the realtor who usually handled the summer rental of the house.
  3. All the Time in the World: Most people live their lives as if they had all the time in the world. She and Mulder are not like most people.
  4. That Kind of Girl: “I can’t believe you want to watch this movie.”
  5. Risqué: For days, he’d watched a half naked Scully shiver with the cold.

I'd planned to upload Risqué for this week's hump day PWP, but when I checked to see who'd made the dustjacket I found that Pywacket only had 5 stories, so I threw them all in, including the two with covers made by ktblle. 🙂   Enjoy.

Fish on the Hook by Writergal2000

24,000 Words

Fish on the Hook cover

Scully, Skinner and agents from DEA search frantically for Mulder, knowing he's been beaten and is in the hands of a mobster.

Mulder's kidnapped and tortured in this one, but it focuses more on Scully's angst as they try to find him, then her concern as she gives him some of her special Scully doctoring. 🙂

As by Dri

184,000 Words

As cover

As around the sun the earth knows she’s revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love is the cure
You can rest your mind assured
That i’ll be loving you always

--Stevie Wonder, As

Book One: Mulder and Scully have to fight for their positions on the X-Files.

Book Two:  Part One - Thanksgiving + Part Two  - Christmas (to Chapter 14 - last updated Dec 12, 2004)

Although this edition has an additional part to those available at Gossamer, it comes incomplete. While it didn't make it to its final destination, it does have a satisfactory ending.

Book One of this series is a doozy. Full of delicious angst and heartbreak after Mulder and Scully are caught in a compromising position.

It does lose momentum in Book Two, probably because it never made it to where it was going; Book Two and the planned Book Three were never completed. You may want to stick with Book One only, but it's worth adding the opening of Book Two as an epilogue, both for the humour and to know where things ended up after the preceding angstfest. 😉

Just Desserts by Forte

Laws of Motion by Syntax6

74,000 Words

Laws of Motion cover
Part of the Invariants series:

“Laws of Motion” is a sequel to “Universal Invariants” which picks up in season five with “Redux II.”  Scully barely has time to unpack before a ghost from the past sends her and Mulder down a murderous rabbit hole.

Through the magic of her storytelling Syn gives us another 'first time' in the second book of this pair. More Ethan & more investigations & more MSR. This story takes our heroes through the fifth season, complete with Emily drama & a Halloween parrot.

Universal Invariants by Syntax6

80,000 Words

Universal Invariants cover
Part of the Invariants series:

"This is an AU story in which I play fast and loose with the first season. While I’m just as glad that Ethan got eliminated from the actual show (I don’t think he would have added much on the screen) I thought it would be fun to play out the relationship here as Scully gets dragged deeper and deeper into the X-Files."

Syntax6 is a legend, as this story and its sequel demonstrate.

Syn gives Scully's deleted boyfriend Ethan a big role in the first season as she weaves some extra cases in for Mulder and Scully to solve. This follows the agents from their first meeting to the return of Scully after her abduction. And while this is Scully/Ethan, Ethan doesn't seem to be doing it for her once she starts on the X-Files.

Terminal Moves by Abracadabra

Terminal Moves cover

Mulder and Scully attempt to help Interpol with a case when a few minor legalities get in their way.

Mulder and Scully and time to kill in airports...

Contradiction by AmandaRex

3,800 Words

Contradiction cover

It may seem like there’s a plot, but bear with me. I promise it has pretty much no bearing on the true meaning of this story at all. I wrote it to fulfill my personal smut quotient for the week.

Although this is set after the UnNatural, it's more of a post-ep for Milagro.

Hump day PWP. 🙂 Although this is set after the UnNatural, it's more of a post-ep for Milagro.  I'm not sure what else to say about this one - maybe don't expect a lot of romance.

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!!!!

Enough I & II by Nicole

5,500 Words

Enough cover

Enough I: Crucify Me:  Post Gethsemane. Our agents are angry. Prepare yourself for a gritty!Scully and pissed!Mulder.

Enough I: Crucify Me (Epilogue): Mulder and Scully make-up. Kinda.

Enough II: Come Play My Game: Ummmm....Sex? Mind Candy? Mulder and Scully at a Ft. Lauderdale Club.

Some hump day PWP.  I love it when they have to fuck out their differences 🙂

I actually have a huge number of short fics with classic covers that I'd like to post. I was thinking of a month-long short fic special, but maybe "Hump Day Humping" could be a thing...

Diamonds and Rust & An Everlasting Kiss by Mustang Sally

13,000 Words

Diamonds & Rust cover

Diamonds and Rust:  Mutilated cattle in the midwest. A plateful of anger with lust on the side.

An Everlasting Kiss: Mulder and Scully investigate a missing child in the seedy glitz and glamour of Atlantic City. They confront Mafiosi, big hair, and flocked wallpaper in Vegas by the Sea. Oh yeah, there's some sex too.

Mulder's annoyed. Scully's annoyed. Mulder's annoyed that Scully's annoyed. Smut ensues.

It's one of my favourite things ever - angry smut!!!!

Dust Series by Blue Samutra

17,000 Words

Dust cover

Dust: It’s a long road back from Philadelphia

Yellow Light: It’s like Groundhog Day

Snow: Since we lost the X-Files I’ve had a lot of time to think about my priorities, and I’ve realized that you’re one of them. I think you have been for a long time…”

Feeling: Scully struggles to come to terms with her changing relationship with Mulder

Complicated: Things like this happen to other people. they don't happen to Dana Scully.

Dust Out the Demons: Elton solves all ills

This starts with a jealous Mulder immediately following "Never Again". I got a little confused timeline-wise after that as it seemed to go to Season 6 before heading back to season 4 and 5. Just to with it and enjoy the angsty smut. 🙂

Three Months I & II by Rachel Anton

14,000 Words

Three Months cover

Three Months:  A story about self-doubt and desperation.

Three Months II - Reverence and Reconstruction: Mulder faces the consequences of his actions and they are not what he expects

This is a Mulder/Other encounter, not a relationship. Please check the content warning in the first story header.

I have this habit of posting angst when there should be celebrations, so I'm not even going to mark this one as a Scully Birthday fic - it's incidental to the story really.

It's angst with a happy ending though, which is the best kind of angst.

After Midnight by Jenna Tooms & KellyC

72,000 Words

After Midnight cover

Mulder and Scully move through the events of season six, carefully changing from friends to lovers.

Once upon a time there was a vignette. And when the vignette was posted, there were pleas for a sequel. However, the author had no ideas for a sequel, so she let a friend write it. The sequel then inspired the original author, so she wrote more. And so it went, back and forth, until the original vignette became . . .   After Midnight.

Mulder is repentant after Two Fathers/One Son.  Scully forgives him, a little at a time.  They have to rebuild trust.  This series takes you through season six from One Son onwards.

Jenna's made an illustration for each story in the series. There are too many to attach here, but they're included in the ePub & PDF versions.

Necessary Roughness by agoodwoman

40,000 Words

Necessary Roughness cover

Mulder and Scully investigate some deaths during the Season 4 cancer arc, post Elegy and pre-Demons.

This is one of my favourite authors and stories. It hits the ground running, and keeps up the pace through the whole marathon.

Just as a sidenote, if you're undergoing chemotherapy, please seek your doctor's advice regarding the use of condoms before you and your partner do the wild thing in the morgue.  😉

Little Blue Pill & Heat Wave by Caz_the_Beeslayer

4,800 Words

Little Blue Pill cover

Little Blue Pill: Someone spiked Mulder's drink with viagra at the FBI ball...

Heat Wave: Mulder and Scully have a little fun with ice cream Set after little blue Pill

All I can say is that I wish I had a trusting working relationship like this with my handsome co-workers.  Scully goes above and beyond the call of duty at this FBI Ball.  Later on they relieve each other in the heat.

Because these were companion fics I left them out of both the Heat and the FBI Ball Shipper's Digests when they were compiled.  There's not much substance to them, so I'm releasing this 'book' as a bonus extra to celebrate ...ummm... Groundhog Day on Tuesday!  Best wishes for a Happy  Groundhog Day!

Seisdeadh by IndigoMuse

79,000 Words

Seisdeadh cover

Scully's getting stalked, and when she disappears, Mulder finds their relationship under suspicion, whilst he searches for her. Meanwhile, she's not inclined to just sit back and wait to be rescued.

This is a fic I came across whilst I was searching for another story, and I'm very glad I did.  I usually avoid established relationship fics because I like a bit of excitement, IYKWIM, but there's no lack of that with this pair, despite them being together almost 2 years at the time this is set.

There's the angst of Mulder and Scully both being in danger, then more angst when nobody would believe Scully had been kidnapped, thanks to some bruising left by Mulder. 😉 After Mulder is sidelined by the bureau, our agents have to each rely on their wits to get back to each other.  A++++

Magic Shell Stories by the Sister Spooky Gang

34,000 Words

Magic Shell cover

Magic Shell: Brick Wall by Jacquie LaVa - wherein it is discovered just how much Mulder likes giving Scully history lessons...

Magic Shell: Motel Room by Tess - Scully takes control

Magic Shell: The Woman Who Knows Everything by Xenith - Scully feels bad about hurting Mulder in the throes of passion and decides to make it up to him.

Magic Shell: At the Races by Foxsong - M & S are investigating a missing racehorse, and the tackroom seems to be full of interesting clues.

Magic Shell 5: Caroling by Wylfcynne - FTF Missing scene - the summary would be longer than the story

Magic Shell 6: At the Movies by Ravenwald - M&S watch one of the movies that aren't Mulder's.

Magic Shell: Breakfast by RoseMN - Mulder brings Scully breakfast.

Magic Shell: Rest Stop by Sue Ann - A difficult drive.

Magic Shell 11: Oral Hygiene by Ravenwald - Mulder accidentally cc'd an email.

Magic Shell 15: By Touch by Wylfcynne - Smut, luridfic, whatever you want to call it. Playing with toys.

NOTE: These last 3 stories in the anthology are Mulder/Scully/Krycek threesomes

Magic Shell: Snack by Evielouise - An M/S/K continuation of the first story - "Brick Wall"

Magic Shell 10: Ice Cream Sandwich by Wylfecynne - an M/S/K sequel to Snack

Magic Shell 14: Alien Technology by Ravenwald - an M/S/K sequel to Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Magic Shell series is so bad it's good. It's shameless PWP, most of it written as a distraction by Sister Spooky list members whilst awaiting season 8.

I've tried to group stories together where they're connected, but I may have lost track somewhere in there.  I did however move the three M/S/K stories to the end to save MSR purists from having to close their eyes and scroll through them.  (There are links in the ePub & PDF versions.) There's more of an explanation at the beginning of the file.

Personally, I don't mind the very infrequent M/S/K fic as a total escape from reality, and I can understand why Krycek would want to join in. 😀

I hope you enjoy this PWP distraction.  I figured there was enough angst in the world right now and hope this helps.  Regular programming will resume shortly.

The Lost: Mulder and Scully are trapped in the remote wilderness and the art of surviving was not what they expected.

The Found: In the midst of an explosively escalating serial arson case, Mulder and Scully must come to terms with the changes that six months in the wilderness have wrought in themselves and those around them.

Alphas: Mulder, Scully and the rest of the X-Files Division struggle with new realities and the changing of old relationships when the reopening of a closed murder investigation draws them into a shadowy culture thousands of years old.

This starts with an unforgettable story of Scully and Mulder's survival in the woods having been taken there by a perp.  Scully's strength and ingenuity keeps them alive before they're ultimately reunited with civilisation.  Once they return they're forced to San Diego to help with a case involving Scully's brother.   Then finally they have to face themselves and each other.

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.

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.

Surprising Who You Meet in Hell by HateBeingAbductedByAliens

Suprising Who You Meet In Hell cover

After a heated argument, Mulder and Scully find themselves in a living hell, not literally, thankfully. This story is about self-indulgence, drowning sorrows and somehow, reaching salvation after all. Set during "One Son".

"One Son" fic is my all time favourite.  On top of the Fowley angst I love the intensity of the seething feelings of betrayal after Mulder's "making it personal" comment.   This fic takes advantage of that and it's nothing if not personal.

I've now added a PDF version in case FFnet goes belly-up. There have been rumours for a while so best to be sure 🙂

Third Wish by Tim Scot

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

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

It all seems to be over, but the Smoking Man has information that will change how Scully sees herself.

 

*epub version should be working*

I'm not a huge fan of the chaos of post-col fics, but This one's an unusual one in that the aliens came and went and things are back to 'normal'. It's difficult to categorize. I've added a few tags but left off a few as well to keep the intrigue.

Book Cover: Tremors & Aftershocks by Gerry Hill

Scully and Mulder not only face a monster of a killer, but, even more horrible, must confront their own relationship.

This is another fic that came to mind for buried alive stories (see 34 Hours). In this one they're not deliberately buried though.  So much glorious angst. And pissy, jealous Scully gives me life. 😀
