Minnesota by WickdZoot

80,000 Words

Minnesota cover

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Truly Madly Deeply by Jenna Tooms (MissLucyJane)

105,000 Words

Truly Madly Deeply (Redux) cover

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

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

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

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

Additional content warning in part IV for childbirth issues.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Alpha Prequel (or alt.sex.doggiestyle.fuck.fuck.fuck)

Mulder makes a new friend online.

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

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

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

Lurid Details by TBishop

3,000 Words

Lurid Details cover

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

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

Blackwood I & II by Susan Garrity

15,000 Words

Blackwood cover

An important section of the  (then) upcoming movie, (FTF) from the author’s point of view.

This fic, bestowed with Fight the Future's working title, was written before FTF screened, with a few late additions once "The End" and the movie preview aired. Alas, Mr Carter decided to take them on a slightly different course.

Anther one that didn't fit with the tags. I decided near enough was good enough.

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...

Nine Days In February by Rah

14,000 Words

Nine Days in February cover

Ten stories of  nine days over nine years.

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

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

Anesthetic & Old Lace by Plausible Deniability

6,000 Words

Anesthetic & Old Lace cover

A snowstorm, an old movie, and Scully’s girlhood bed.

Poor Mulder's been injured, and with the snowy road it's too dangerous to drive back to DC, so Scully takes a drugged up Mulder to stay at Maggie's instead...

Another Under the Covers image is available for the voyeuristic. (Password: smut).

Scully’s Dilemma Series by Romp

43,000 Words

Scully's Dilemma cover

SCULLY'S DILEMMA: An interagency office briefing on a series of cases involving anal probing stirs strange fantasies in Scully. In order to get to the “bottom” of Scully’s suspicions about having been anal probed, she and Mulder must get very up close and personal.

MULDER'S TAIL: A case involving a unique sexual practice causes Mulder to reflect on his first encounter with bondage and domination. Meanhwile, a mysterious older woman offers to be Scully’s sexual mentor.

KRYCEK'S GAME: Krycek has information Dana Scully desperately needs. What is she willing to wager to get it?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fifteen Minute Window by WhiteRaevyn

6,700 Words

Fifteen Minute Window cover

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

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

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

Trilogy Series by Alanna

27,000 Words

Trilogy Series cover
  • LAUGHING: A celebration of life.
  • ALEGRIA: A celebration of happiness.
  • INSIDE:A chaise-longue and a dream.
  • BURN: Inflaming of hearts and minds.
  • MILLION: The many sides of a person.
  • SEMANTICS: Memory is subjective and fallible.
  • PHOTOS:  Ringfic.  I admit it.  But with a slightly different twist.
  • SCARS: Fires cannot destroy the scars of experience.
  • OUTSIDE: A sequel to Inside
  • POSITIVE: The creation of life.

Some of the vignettes are post-eps for various Season 5 episodes.

I've always been a fan of Alanna's writing. It took me a few attempts to put all these stories into the right order, so hopefully I have it now. The stories were referred to along the way as part of a universe but were then gathered together on Alanna's website as the "Trilogy" series. Alanna using different names along the way didn't help matters. The series runs though a range of emotions as their relationship progresses.

Unfortunately the original image for this series didn't get saved to the wayback machine.

 

Slip Me the Wiener, Spooky-Boy by Jacquie LaVa

9,000 Words

Slip Me the Wiener cover

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

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

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.

Merrily, Merrily by Gina Rain

2,900 Words

Merrily Merrily cover

A different kind of songfic. Gina didn't provide a summary and just requested to give it a chance. You won't be sorry.

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.

Additional artwork for Isometry

Fair is Fair by Jamie T

3,000 Words

Fair is Fair cover

Can men and women live by the same social rules?

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

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

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

Option Three by Khyber

5,900 Words

Option Three cover

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

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

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

Sleep is Sweeter: Aftermath by M Partous

3,000 Words

Sleep is Sweeter Aftermath cover

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

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

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

After the Louvre by DBKate

6000 Words

After the Louvre cover

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

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

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

Sin Eater (The) by Jane Mortimer

8,500 Words

Sin Eater cover

Scully disappears into a mysterious vortex and Mulder makes an unbelievable sacrifice.

There is a touch of Dreamland foreshadowing with this evocative, classic MSR fic, written in 1996.  It's only rated PG-13 but still gives quite the mental stimulation. 🙂

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...

Light Trippers (The) by Hawthorne Kessler

8,500 Words

Light Trippers cover

A tip from the Lone Gunmen about a secret military installation leads Mulder and Scully into a very surprising adventure.

The Lone Gunmen go on a road trip this time, when they decide to tag along on a case they passed on to Mulder.  Things were already awkward when they arrived the morning after...

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.

Dangerous by Yonada

3,000 Words

Dangerous cover

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

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

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

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

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.

Open Air Series by Jenna Tooms

14,000 Words

Open Air covers

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

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

Bend in the Road (The) by Kelly K

12,000 Words

Bend in the Road cover

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

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

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

Married Series by Angela W

355,000 Words

Married Series cover

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

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

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

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

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

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...

 

By Coincidence by Cathleen Faye

38,000 Words

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.

Nuptiae Sub Rosa by Xfmaweezy & Sisterspooky1013

68,000 Words

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 by somekindofseizure

20,000 Words

Black Tie Affair cover

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Alcohol makes people do the strangest things ...

!dubcon (both drunk)

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

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

4,000 Words

Heat cover

She had the power tonight.

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

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

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

Fugue by RivkaT

26,000 Words

Fugue cover

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

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

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

Scattered Leaves : Fall by Abracadabra

190,000 Words

Scattered Leaves cover
Part of the Seasons series:

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

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

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

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

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

Snowed Inn : Winter by Abracadabra

130,000 Words

Snowed Inn cover

Includes "She Wears It Well"

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

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

.

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

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

Drive Away by Jori & MoJo

7,000 Words

Drive Away cover

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

Fantasies are fulfilled. What more can you ask for?

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

Out in the Country by Jacquie LaVa

10,000 Words

Out in the Country cover

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

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

Legend of the Focáil-sidhe

200 Words

Focail-sidhe cover

And now for something completely different.  This is absolute silliness just for a laugh and some Halloween fun. We will return to the usual content shortly.

Mulder and Scully find themselves investigating a strange creature that causes them to find out what fate the root-beer really held.  Fill in the blanks to create your very own badfic.

(PS. The Focáil-sidhe is a total fabrication and no offense is intended towards the wonderful Celtic people and their legends.)

I haven't abandoned you all. I've had a bit of a rough time since I last uploaded, but I'm at home now and recovering and slowly getting back into the swing of things.

I just saw the date and realised I have to get some halloween fics read and uploaded, but in the meantime, this is something I prepared before I went away. I hope it gives you a laugh.

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.

Wildwash Series by OKayVal

7,000 Words

Wildwash cover
  1. Wildwash:  Leaving the past behind...
  2. Wild Wild Mulder: Sequel to "Wildwash." A conversation about cowboys gives Mulder an idea.
  3. Bareback: Sequel to "Wild Wild Mulder." Mulder makes amends, as only he can.
  4. Sleep Becomes Him: Follow-up to "Bareback." The morning after.

Mulder in chaps. Need I say more? This series begins the day after M&S did the wild thing for the first time, post-Closure.

Donnilee made dustjackets for all 4 stories:

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.

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.

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".

Freeze I & II by KRoch

5,200 Words

Freeze cover

Mulder and Scully struggle to keep warm overnight in their broken down car as they wait for help to arrive.

A very early proponent of "mind candy", KRoch, demonstrates that a sleeping bag is optional when it comes to keeping warm in this hump day smut.

Swirling Water by Paradise

3,000 Words

Swirling Water cover

Scully takes a vacation half way across the country, Mulder finds her, and does what we've all been waiting for.

Pissy Scully takes time away from Mulder. Mulder can't handle it. Smut ensues.

I'm struggling a little to get back into posting after spending weeks wrangling software and attempted hackers. I still have some more stuff here to tidy up since the last wordpress update broke a few things, but I seriously need that vacation I was planning now. I wonder whether Mulder would follow me across the country if I just take off...

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

11,000 Words

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.

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.

Old Friends by McKab

93,000 Words

Old Friends cover
Part of the Old Friends series:

‘He looked up at her, his expression unreadable. “Ever wonder why things happen?” At Scully’s confused look, he continued, “I mean, why things happen at specific times? Why people show up when they do?” Mulder leaned in toward her as he spoke.’

This was the oldest outstanding story on by  "to read" list as I was a little worried about the Mulder/other factor, but I finally read it and it's definitely MSR. Mulder's ex-girlfriend is in the story, and there's some sexual tension between them, but they're both with other people now. 🙂 I have a feeling that I'd read the interlude, which is Mulder/other, and that gave me the wrong idea. Although the interlude isn't part of the original story,  it was written before Part 21 but I've placed it at the end as an optional extra.

The woman at the centre of this story is a likable, interesting character, who works with Mulder and Scully on a case, before working on their personal relationship.

I haven't managed to get my hands on the original book cover created by Nessa, so if you have a copy I'd love to include it here.

There is a sequel to this one, available under 'series' below the downloads.

Demonstrative by Abracadabra

7,000 Words

Book Cover: Demonstrative by Abracadabra

A class lecture with some interesting results.

Abracadabra shows us that a relevant plot can be superfluous with our adventurous agents in this hot little hump day fic.

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.

Delta S by Nicole Mason

30,000 Words

Delta S NC-17 cover

“Your mom and Charlie can come, too.” He saw her actually start to listen to the suggestion. “The only thing for miles around is a lodge. They have a barbeque planned and some fireworks. There’s a lake and several miles of trails and —” 

“Just an everyday, ordinary vacation?”

“Yep. Is that so hard to believe, Scully?”

She grinned and opened the door. “Mulder, with you around that’s just about as likely as aliens landing tomorrow.”

I've also included a PG-13 version of this one.

Mulder decides to take some of the Scully family members away for a vacation. Maggie decides that Mulder and Scully should vacation alone. She does end up joining them in Vegas though, and the real action begins there. While this is a crossover, Nicole doesn't want to give anything away too early, and it's not necessary to have knowledge (or memory) of the other situation.

Although they're in Vegas for a specific reason that's not noromo friendly, I've included a PG-13 version because that reason doesn't dampen their bantery relationship at all, and thought some people may enjoy the other action.  Click on the PG dustjacket below to read the smut-free version.

Truth (The) by Eponine119 & Jessica Taylor

114,000 Words

Truth cover

Mulder & Scully, undercover as a couple on a honeymoon cruise. This story riffs off just about every fanfic cliche we could think of.  We did this on purpose, and hopefully it will be obvious we wouldn't have been able to write this if we didn't love fanfic enough to have read lots and lots of stories over the past few years.  It's also very long. We hope it's amusing enough to justify both of these things - it sure cracked us up!

This is the cruise fic to end all cruise fics. Actually, this could be the tropey fanfic to end all tropey fanfics.

The first time I read this story I think I was a little impatient to get to the RST, and completely missed so much of the journey. The UST goes well past any healthy person's frustration levels, but bear with it and just try to enjoy the wild ride.

While Mulder and Scully are undercover on a honeymoon cruise for couples who postponed their wedding 3 or more times, they're subjected to Julie from the Love Boat and the indignity of many couples seminars before accidentally getting married  and becoming living legends. I don't have enough tags to do this story justice, (although admittedly I left a couple off and I have to force myself to stop typing now so I don't spoil everything in it. ) It's also funny how prescient some of their humorous suggestions are. For those of us who love a good fanfic trope, this is the holy grail.

There is a second image for this one, which I believe was made by eponine119.

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.

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.

Born to be Wild by DD4Me2

4,200 Words

Born to be Wild cover

Mulder takes Scully out for a motorbike trip and Scully decides to let her hair down for once and get wild.

There are no redeeming features in this fic whatsoever. Enjoy some wild hump day smut.

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

4,000 Words

Just Desserts cover

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.

Some midweek mind candy from Forte.

I've included a link to Forte's website - because it still exists (last updated Jan 2020) - so go explore!  😀

Terminal Moves by Abracadabra

3,400 Words

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...

Some Hump Day PWP.

I've become rather obsessive compulsive in having covers fit the 3:4 aspect ratio, so I've taken liberties with quite a few of the original graphics, including this one.

Terminal collage by Mortis

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...

Seraphine by MonikaFileFan

36,000 Words

Seraphine cover

Another forest; another cryptid; another moment of life-changing clarity in which Mulder and Scully embark on a journey of the heart, and other improbable things.

This is definitely a better trip to the forest than they had in Detour. 🙂

Monika's packed this full of the all-important smut, whilst maintaining the UST for as long as possible with this original tale.

Pandora’s Box by Rachel Anton

8,900 Words

Pandora's Box cover

Scully’s curiosity gets the better of her.

Author’s notes: This thing is the result of one too many conversations about Bad Blood. It takes place after Scully’s second autopsy and drifts off into a universe all it’s own...

A bonus fic because I'd meant to post it on 22 February - 23 years since Bad Blood first aired in the USA, although I could have saved it until 18 May when it first aired in Australia I suppose.

It's a favourite episode, but one that's distinctly underrepresented in smutfics.

Bad Blood Challenge!!!!

There’s so much opportunity in this ep for some added smut that I’d like to issue a challenge to our wonderful fanfic community to smutify the episode in as many different ways as possible.  Here are some suggestions:

  • Mulder’s slide show… in the dark… having to prove once and for all who’s right. I don’t know about Scully, but Mulder’s slide shows turn me on.
  • They were drugged!!!! run with it.
  • Scully straightening up Mulder’s clothes while they wait for Skinner. What was that all about??? Did they get it on on the couch in Skinner’s waiting area, or did they arrive like that?
  • Sliding around on his belly behind an RV must have necessitated some Scully-doctoring to make sure something important wasn’t injured. She’d have to have been more concerned than he indicated.  At the very least, running her fingers through some hair is guaranteed to have happened.
  • Magic fingers. That’s got  to lead your mind somewhere dirty.
  • Scully puts the cowboy boots Mulder told her to pack to good use and rides him wearing nothing but...
  • Mulder’s theme from shaft - There are lyrics like private dick and sex machine to play with, if not at the time, maybe later Scully could tease him about it when he comes to…
  • Jealous Mulder confronts Scully in the morgue, perhaps?
  • Getting stuck together in the coffin in the vampire's RV.
  • Do they even know remember what happened before they woke up that last morning in Texas?
  • Channel Gillian’s inner troll since it’s her favourite episode, and get Mulder and Scully to get it on in some other outlandish way.

I hereby challenge all authors to write me some Bad Blood smut to put in a Shipper's Digest anthology 😀 Send any and all fics or links to fics you'd like to submit to xlibris at xf-redux dot com by 30 April 2021. Please xxx

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!

Book Cover: Bed & Breakfast Series by DavidS, Tess, Jacquie Lava & ga

I’ve never been a B&B type of guy. Until now. Until Scully.

Mulder and Scully and a vacation at a B&B.

This fic is the ultimate in escapism; it's  the beauty of what an unencumbered M&S in love look like.   It started as a IWTB Mailing List punishment fic, handed out over grave misdemeanors such as posting a story twice to the list.  There are quite a few really juicy fics resulting from such punishment, and I'm hoping to collect as many as possible and combine in one volume here.

Meanwhile, this is the final story in my daily PWP distraction from US political drama postings, I hope. I'd like to think that as long as Mulder and Scully are doing the wild thing, all is right in the world.  Hopefully we're back to M, W & F posts. 🙂

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.

 

Backseat Ethics by Flynn

5,800 Words

Backseat Ethics cover

Cotton candy for the mind. No violence, no guns drawn (and quickly lost) - just all the things I'd want to do if it were ME in that car.

A second weekend PWP distraction from reality fic.  Flynn manages to give us intense UST in an existing relationship. Now that's talent.

Desideratum by Rachel Anton & Larua Blaurosen

108,000 Words

Desideratum cover

How far is too far to go in the name of love?

Desideratum I: Lost   Desideratum II: Found   Desideratum II: After

Some more Scully Torture. This one can get rough at times, and there are a couple of awkward Mulder moments, but I think it's worth it for the climax 😉  Desideratum III felt a little OOC for my liking, but it's pretty much just smut so it doesn't matter too much.

A Visit to Venus Springs by Destyshell

24,000 Words

Venus Springs cover

There's something mysterious in a picturesque Colorado mountain village where romance is rampant and the birthrate is astronomical.

I was reminded that it's not easy to download from ff-net so I've added a PDF version for this one.  I download them through calibre but before that I used to use ficsave.xyz to download in my chosen format.

This one's a sweet story with Mulder trying to do something nice for Scully. He's not always a self-consumed jerk. 😉

After Eight by DashaK and Plausible Deniability

8,500 Words

After Eight cover

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

Nothing but Christmas cheer, schmoop and smut here. We don't know
nothin' bout no angst.

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

Maggie’s Christmas Wish by Andrea

Maggie's Xmas Wish cover

A set-up. Christmas mind candy.

Maggie ships them.

Andrea's fics should be canon. 😉

Melancholia by Jeylan

Book Cover: Melancholia by Jeylan

A wayward walk on a ghostless, haunted afternoon.

This is a stunningly beautiful fic by Jeylan, which I was inspired to post by KR who likes to receive fic recs for her birthday.  Happy birthday KR, I hope you enjoy this one.

Year of Election by Paul W

21,000 Words

Year of Election cover

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

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

 

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

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

Shipper’s Digest 05: Halloween

33,000 Words

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.
