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

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

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

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

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

Minnesota cover concept clearly ripped off from the Annex’s ‘Oklahoma’ cover

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. 🙂

This story is actually set between Mother's Day and Memorial Day. The buzzing begins. No not the normal buzzing you'd read in Bandon's or Shannon's stories, but the buzzing of bees. The authors practised so much restraint, managing to stay into smut with this beginning of colonisation tome. That's not to say there's no romance...

Sadly, it took me 4 days to finish uploading this, and during that time I've forgotten half the tags, and might have put some in from the book I read after this one. Trying to get my brain to co-operate right now is like trying to get a toddler with ODD crossed with a rebellious teen to do something they don't want to do, despite my wanting to do it. All I can do is wait it out and try some reverse psychology on myself (which often works LOL). In the meantime, releases may slow down a little. I do have some uploads that weren't released to try to keep things going through my brain-rebellion, so maybe in that time I'll regain have some function back. 🙂

Poor Scully's given up on getting anywhere with Mulder after the failed attempt in Detour. After putting her life on hold with the cancer she decided she didn't want any more of life to pass her by, but finds it's hard to date someone else when your interests are elsewhere...

I live for some Jealous!Mulder. It may not be as far along the angst scale as I prefer, but Mulder skirts the edge of assholery as he tries to deal with his bitter jealousy. This story may also skirt the edge of schmaltz, but I'm sure that if Scully can forgive Mulder, a little mushiness can also be overlooked. Admittedly I probably have a much lower mush-tolerance than most people, I like to hurt. 😀

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

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

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

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

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. 🙂

**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.

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

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

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

Additional content warning in part IV for childbirth issues.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. 🙂

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

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

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

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

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

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

WestShore's stories are typically Mulder!Torture-centric and this is no exception. This time Mulder has taken time off for a vacation when he ends up in trouble, so Scully is initially unaware and doesn't feature prominently in the story, which is told by a third-party. This may be why Mulder prefers not to take his vacation time...

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

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

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

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

This case file set early in the cancer arc reprises the role of Atlanta Detective, Mike Thomas, from "Flights".

It takes me right back to that late-season-4 Scully who is determined to handle everything on her own and rebuff any attempts Mulder makes to make life easier for her, leaving him feeling lost as to how to deal with her illness himself. Although there's no MSR here it still comes with feels and captures the genuine platonic love between them, particularly when they spend time trapped together, believing it may be their end.

Some classic 'Mulder and Scully tracking down a serial killer' action, where only their unique perspective will lead to the killer, putting them in danger.

This was written and set early in the series, with their relationship commensurate with that timeframe: friendship and respect. It only has the higher rating due to adult themes.

I'll make sure I post something for the smut-fiends on Wednesday, as otherwise it's going to be a noromo week. 🙂

!Content Warning applies for "Transfers" - more info below.

This was originally supposed to be a series but unfortunately only two stories were written. It's a shame because she set up a really interesting scenario that I'd have liked to have seen play out more.

There are lots of the favourite tropes here, despite this being written way back in 1996. If it helps with considering the content warning in "Transfers", the actions warned about are outside Mulder's control and more of an X-File.

I love stories that don't fit into standard tags, but it makes it hard to entice readers with promises of certain events. I've also left off tags so as not to give things away.

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

This was written in the seemingly never-ending break after the season 2 cliffhanger. Juliettt felt the need to get Mulder out of that boxcar. She's coerced Jackie St George & Martin Nantus to stay with Scully to ensure she doesn't do anything stupid. These characters were created by Sheryl Nantus, and appear in many of her stories and those of other authors. They do reflect the innocence of the early series. After all that's happened since then it can be hard to picture those early days where Mulder and Scully may have been able to have loyal friends other than the paranoid Gunmen.

Another PG story... I'll have to bring all the smut on Friday.

I'm going with my own personal theory about the evolution of Mulder and Scully's relationship--which is that they're in love, they KNOW they're in love, but they can't do anything about it...yet.

Just a short one today to celebrate this special day in history - the day that Scully met Mulder.

This story is set in the turmoil of Season 3. Although I tend to go with the 1993 start date, March 6, 1993 is a Saturday. It's weird enough that Scully started her new assignment on a Friday and headed off to the plausible state of Oregon on a Saturday...

There's long been debate as to Pendrell's first name. It was believed to be either Alan, Sean or Daniel. In true X-Files tradition, the actor didn't know his name but called himself "Pete". I've always thought it was Sean, as given in The Official Companion, but I've since learned that "Sean" was based on a false premise, so who knows? I do like Sean, but Alan works for me too.

I do like this protective Mulder and Pendrell working together.

I had a bit of a Scully's Birthday binge recently trying to pick which stories I'd post, and ended up with too many. Surprisingly though, I didn't come across many short PWPs, they were mainly longer stories, and most without the smut we all seem to love. Hopefully this lack of ScullyBirthdaySmut has been addressed over at AO3 in the last couple of decades 😉

This story is a longer story with an actual plot, but no smut, sorry. I got a kick out of the way Michaela wove some past episodes into this Season 6 story and thought it was worth a share.

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

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

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.

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

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

A case in the Florida Everglades takes Mulder and Scully on a terrifying journey nowhere. The air conditioning and the laws of physics won’t work. She wants dinner and not to die. He dreams of a boy on the beach and not being Captain Ahab. A love story of absolute evil and existential doubt and truth that isn’t found on the free map from the Visitor Center.

As usual, as this is a Prufrock's Love story, I am unable to host it here so the link goes to the story at one of Mimic's sites.

Pru reminded me of just how envious I am of her cleverness and storywriting with this one. There is a gorgeous Mulder-Scully relationship here that tugs at the heartstrings as Pru tenderly takes us through the cancer arc with the added awkwardness of a sudden relationship change.

This was the story that I was getting vague memories of when reading AlienQueequeg's Gates of Hell but couldn't remember past that vague feeling of a similar circumstance. It was only that I was feeling warm & fuzzy after rescuing a kookaburra today that I put 'kookaburra' in my fanfic search program and this popped up. That kookaburra, currently recuperating at the RSPCA Wildlife Hospital, managed to bring me from worry to warm fuzzies twice today.

Usually Wednesdays are for short fics, but I didn't have another one ready to go so I figured that because Monday's release was relatively short it would all even out somewhere along the line....

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

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

Mulder pulls another case from a tabloid delivered to his door, this time with questionable jurisdiction and an extra-long flight. Poor Mulder has a rough time of it.

This one does fascinate me as I'm not convinced that the thylacine is totally extinct. It's also set in a location familiar to me, which is the site of a well-known UFO event (the Kelly Cahill case mentioned in Season 10). I'd have liked the story to have gone on further since I was enjoying fond memories of the area and wanted Mulder and Scully to stick around a bit longer, but alas they had places to be. I've added a bit more info and links to the end of the story.

Since I've messed up this week's programming already I'm using the excuse of it being Australia Day today to post this today as a replacement for the usual Wednesday & Friday releases. Hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things soon.

This really is a beautiful little story. Mulder's attempts to out-do the British agent are very entertaining, and Saint Scully earns her title with the patience and self-control she exhibits with the two of them.

Bonus points for the mention of The Chills. This was a favourite song long ago, and is indeed a very melodic and arguably heavenly pop hit.... 😀

I set myself a challenge to have a smut-free week after feeling dirty about so many recent smut-posts. Be assured that I've gotten that out of my system now and will return to regular programming.

This is an excellent MulderTorture adventure with creepy characters and gripping plot, written all the way back in 1995. The cover didn't come together the way I wanted it to, but the story is the main attraction anyway...

Meredith channels all the Ritter-angst with this one, something I'd never really given much thought to. It ramps up the feels at the end of the episode when Mulder shows up. Plus it gives a third party view of our duo, which I always love.

I have a couple of scary fics releasing this week. Justin always turns out a good story and this one's quite the mystery. It would have made a great case file. There's a bit of a post-Philadelphia rift happening, and although there's no smut, all's well that ends with spooning.

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

David's writing, despite heavy influence, is unique in the X-Files fanfic community. According to David, this series was inspired by characters in the comics of Garth Ennis and the proliferation of unique secondary characters in the works of Charles Dickens. There's a lot of humour in the over-the-top characters from the deep south. No real romance in this one, but a lot of laughs.

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

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

There's that obvious season 3 disconnect with our agents at the beginning, but they're there for each other when they need to be. Kel always injects humour into her Mulder and Scully, which always makes for a good read.

You know I like a side of angst, particularly when Mulder's being an ass in early season 6. This story documents an unconventional road trip with both Scully and Krycek feeling a little bitter over their circumstances.

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.

More old fics, this time from 1995. Both stories are quite representative of their season 2 relationship, but the second one would never have made it onto one of CC's story boards. 😉 Also, try not to feel too sad about a future plot point that messes with the first fic.

I blame my ADHD for the 2 covers. I can't read fics without doing something else. I usually get my computer to read them out loud for me and do other stuff as I'm listening. I just happened to be playing in photoshop as I was listening to these, and each story was about the right time to create a cover, hence there are 2.

It's that time in Season 3 when our agents often don't seem to be on the same page, and there's a bit of a gulf between them. It's not that they're getting on each other's nerves like CC would have us believe... Scully's realising how deep she's gotten & is questioning her life.

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

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.

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

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

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

I do like how the Gunmen just decided they wanted a piece of the action (no not that action) and followed along. There should be more of it.

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. 🙂

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

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

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

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

Welcome to Newell Beach. I didn’t notice what those cows were up to when I took the photo…

Downtown Newell Beach is the takeaway beside the caravan park where I sometimes get fish and chips to eat on the beach.

A lovely mural on the beachside facilities

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.

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...

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

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.

Once again I've posted a version here without line breaks. I hate pointless line breaks. I wish I wasn't so picky. If you're not that picky, choose the AO3 version where you can leave kudos and comments. 🙂

I believe this dustjacket was the work of shannono. There was one done by Kimpa which didn't get saved to the wayback machine.

I've been offline for a couple of weeks with brain shutdown then local floods, and I'm not ready yet to come back just yet; hopefully by the end of the week. This fic was uploaded a few weeks ago and I couldn't decide when to release it as I'd wanted to put a few more case files up to break up the slew of relationship fics. It's already here so you may as well have it now. 🙂

I have about 4 weeks before I head off on the road again for another stint of bat-sitting in the tropical far-north rainforest, and visits to other far flung places, so I do want to get things back to normal before I leave. My brain is doing better, but the adrenaline fatigue and need to get my house back to normal after a total upheaval, despite the rain stopping just in time to spare any real damage, has left me exhausted. 🙂

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...

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.
