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

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

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

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

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. 🙂

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...

I'm late posting today's fic because I couldn't decide from the remaining UK fics I'd prepared... In the end I decided to continue the tradition of shorter fics for humpday and saved some others for different times. I've gone with this sweet observation of our agents by a third party; I'm always a sucker for these.

Kate does mention another fic that inspired her. Because both fics are very short, I've also posted that story as well, in a web version, here.

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. Accordingly I've included the doctored screenshot here. Sadly I did not make that horse one up. LOL

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. 🙂

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.

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

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

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

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

Mimic117 is another writer I adore, both for her writing and her advice to me with regards to rescuing old archives and websites. I particularly love her Scully in this fic.

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. 🙂

This is pure silliness from Wayward. I got a little carried away with the silliness of the cover. The first one I made wasn't ridiculous enough, but I've included it below should you wish to use it instead... I might yet find another fic to repurpose it for. I hadn't thought of using an animated cover before but when I found the moving propeller-hat I decided it had to happen. The movement will only display on the online version...

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

!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.

This one's a rare treat. The PDF file was painstakingly typeset on 'non-wood paper' by Mike. Although Mike's rated it higher, it's more implied smut so I've left if at his lower rating.

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.

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.

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...

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.

Mulder is being secretive and Fowley is being Fowley. Some Season 6 frustration to counteract the valentiney start to the week. 🙂 I'm like the Grinch when it comes to Valentine's Day LOL.

I'm still not on top of things unfortunately. I'm trying to push past lingering exhaustion to keep posts coming and I'm going to make an effort to get to messages on the weekend. I have a heap of excellent stories that I want to post, I just have to be able to at least speed-read them first to remember what tags I need to add, which is hard when I'm struggling to stay awake.

Some unabashed smut to continue the Valentine's Day theme. Scully doesn't want to spend the Valentine's Day weekend on a case looking for a ghost. But when there's only one room, and it has a jacuzzi, she tries to make the most of her situation. 🙂

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

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

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

Cover Artists:

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....

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

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

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

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

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

I'm feeling so much better now that I've not just uploaded, I've gone with major torture. I wish I could get Scully to my psychologist, she's a miracle worker. 🙂

This one is a rough one, and for those who need a smut payoff after tolerating torture, you may wish to skip this story and come back Wednesday for the top shelf PWP I have scheduled.

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.

Fortunately I had this fic prepared earlier & ready to go. I know I'm missing a few tags from this one, I'll try to come back and update them once the old brain kicks back into gear again... I'm sure Friday's flash therapy will cure me again - it's a miracle treatment. 😀

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.... 😀

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:

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. ?

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.

Just a quick Christmas Day release.

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

Authors’ Notes: This is a round robin Romantic Farce. We have taken great liberties with the characters and they didn’t seem to mind, honest. In fact, they rather enjoyed it. Bad characters. Bad bad characters! What would Chris Carter say? If he recovered from the heart attack, that is.

Some lighthearted fun with Mulder & Scully in Vegas written back in 1997. It's a round-robin fic so anything can happen. I always think it's fun to put our heroes in these ~~ridiculous~~ awkward situations to see how they cope.

OK, so I may have a thing about Naked!Mulder... Although I made this cover just before the Great Hard Drive Crash of 2021 so I can't entirely blame this fixation on my recent brain shutdown... I would have liked to have played with the original photoshop file a little longer but it no longer exists - I'm just lucky I'd already saved the cover with the fic so it didn't disappear forever like many of the covers I made at the time. I'm still eternally grateful that my fic collection lived on a separate hard drive. I'm also better at backing things up now 🙂

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.

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

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

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.
