Here’s a list of all the fics I’ve written. As of right now, they’re categorized into Fictober, general prompt answers, based on episodes and various prompt challenges like Christmas.

Days Off for Saving the World

6. every kiss a sonnet (read on ao3)

Date night begins <3

She feels giddy, smitten, those same lovesick butterflies swirling in her stomach that she remembers from the hormone-fogged awakenings of adolescence—when making out with a boy was a thrill all its own, and not just the first step toward a foregone conclusion. When every breath was a discovery, every touch igniting a nova under her skin.

Following Scully into her small bathroom, Mulder watched as she examined her injured temple in the mirror over the basin. He knew he was annoying her with his hovering, but he couldn’t quell the urge to stay close.

The moment when the tree branch had fallen blazed into his mind anew. Her blood, a bright red bead racing across the car window. His fear for her in that instant stronger than the most savage twister could produce.

He was worried about the knock she had taken, but it was more than that. There was an energy between them in this place that seemed to belong only to Kroner—an understanding that the rules about being too close, about letting their touches linger even beyond their usual tactile way with each other, could be softened.

Still, he kept his hand at his side, much as he wanted to reach up and hold back her hair for her while she tended her cut.

Scully tore open a sleeve of adhesive sutures, frowning as she leaned towards the mirror. “Mulder, I’ve got it, ok?”

“Your hands are shaking,” he pointed out quietly.

Seeming surprised, Scully looked down at her hands. “It’s the adrenaline,” she said after a moment, flexing her fingers. “I’ve never seen a tornado in real life before. It was…”

“Scary,” Mulder put in. “But exciting, too.”

Turning away from the mirror, she looked up at him, blue eyes bright and her smile just catching hold, as though they were sharing a secret. “Yeah. Both of those.”

So what’s the other 70% of your lack of enthusiasm with the William storyline?

Ooh boy, anon. Don’t get me started.

Basically, my issue is threefold: (1) Mulder and Scully having a baby is fundamentally incompatible with their chosen quest and the show’s basic format; (2) the writers, Chris Carter especially, were frustratingly noncommittal about the entire storyline in general; and (3) William is not a baby, he’s a plot device. Let’s break it down, shall we?

(1) Mulder and Scully having a baby is fundamentally incompatible with their chosen quest and the show’s basic format

This one’s pretty straightforward. You cannot have Mulder and Scully running around chasing monsters and aliens if there are diapers to change. Yes, I know some people argue it should have ended with them having a baby, but the idea of our beloved FBI weirdos spending the rest of their lives in domestic bliss, Mulder especially, is ludicrous. I mean, the whole Season 7 premiere posed this exact question to Mulder, it showed him what a so-called “normal,” peaceful life would be like and he rejects it. And as much as Scully claims to want a “normal life,” she will never give Mulder up for such a thing. She chooses Mulder over William multiple times.

(2) The writers, Chris Carter especially, were frustratingly noncommittal about the entire storyline in general

The William storyline is the epitome of trying to have your cake and eat it too. It’s like, we want Scully to have a baby, but also we kind of don’t want Scully to have a baby because we also need her to do autopsies and chase monsters and shit. We want Mulder to be the father but also we don’t want Mulder to be the father because that would make those stupid shipper fans happy, so apparently Scully is the Virgin Mary and immaculate conception is also an option. Except haha you idiot it wasn’t immaculate conception either because fucking medical rape is also a possibility (what the fuck?!). And we want the baby to be a special baby with alien powers for some reason, but whoops! never mind he isn’t a special alien baby, turns out he’s a miracle child sent from God or whatever…except he still kind of is a special alien baby because he has mind powers and can shapeshift. Except none of this matters because he’s getting in the way of the story so let’s get rid of him until we need him again for the revival. And that leads us to the third point:

(3) William is not a baby, he’s a plot device

Scully might as well have given birth to a pile of scripts. It comes across as the writers lacking confidence in the audience’s investment in the show, particularly after Duchovny’s departure. Which is understandable, but was a pregnancy plot really the answer? Is this a soap opera?William is only there to yank the audience’s chain or make Scully sad, and in the end it all adds up to a whole lot of nothing because CC and co. were more interested in shock value than exploring what having and giving up a child you longed for but never thought you’d have would do to that child’s parents. There is some attempt to rectify this in the revival with “Founder’s Mutation,” “Home Again” and “Ghouli” but to be honest those attempts fell flat for me, primarily because James Wong and Glen Morgan were painfully unfamiliar with what happened in the show after they departed in the original run. (I mean, Scully calling Mulder “Fox” after 20+ years of exclusively calling him Mulder? Scully worrying that Mulder of all people would see her as an “incubator?” Come on, guys.) And I shouldn’t even have to mention the “My Struggles,” which somehow made an already sexist and violating storyline even worse.

As a personal note, I do not care for Virgin Mary/immaculate conception stories, besides the one in the Bible, I guess. It’s tired. Star Wars tried to do it too. It’s a lazy way to say your character is special without actually giving the character any personality traits that make them special. Prequel Anakin is good at flippy flips and driving space cars and making things fly. William can move things with his mind and shapeshift, apparently. So fucking what. I don’t care. Give me something to chew on, something with actual meaning. What we got was just disappointing.

#agreed on all points #though i feel like it could have worked #had they really tried #william is not a baby he is a plot device #this is so true #whenever the writers didn't know what to do #they threw a baby in #that's what it feels like #txf

2000 DD and GA: "Roots of a Tree"

March 26, 2000:

The Truth about David Duchovny By Gillian Anderson

Gillian interviews David. Hmmm. Simple idea. Why hasn't it happened before? Friction? A conspiracy? USA WEEKEND sends the X-Files co-star on assignment.

David Duchovny is standing outside his trailer on the Los Angeles set of "The X-Files," waiting for his co-star, Gillian Anderson. "She's on the phone with Mike Wallace," he says with a half smile. "She's getting interview tips." He's kidding. Anderson hasn't contacted the 60 Minutes bulldog. But when she does show up for her first-ever assignment as a journalist, she's exceedingly well-prepared. She was "thrilled" when USA WEEKEND asked her to interview Duchovny and was flattered to learn he'd suggested her for the job.

Sitting "Indian-style" beside Duchovny on a couch in his trailer, Anderson consults eight pages of handwritten questions and leads a frank, funny exchange that "X-Files" fans will surely consider historic. The actors touch so many bases: the rumors that they despise each other; the reasons their "biggest fans" are annoying; the final image viewers should have of their characters, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, when their show ends its run. Anderson, 31, is especially curious about how Duchovny, 39, shook his persona as the deadpan Mulder to play a charming romantic in the new movie "Return to Me," in theaters April 7.

#they should interview each other again nowadays #i mean i guess the podcast was a bit like that #i just constantly want to see them and for them to talk to each other haha #david and gillian

1997 DD: Mulder's Speedo (and Duane Barry's Swimming Trunks)

October 13, 1997: Q: You’ve got one swimming scene in Playing God, but surprisingly, you’re not wearing the swimsuit you made famous on TV. Were you ever tempted to break out the red Speedo for that shot?

DD: You know what’s funny about the swimsuit . . . issue, if I can call it that? That’s pretty clever. The bathing suit I wear in the movie is actually the bathing suit I turned down for the scene in the show. And I used my own bathing suit, the red Speedo, in the show, but I kept the bathing suit that I turned down because I thought it was cool--it was kinda square. And I started to work out with that one, swim with that one. And by the time the movie came around, it was worked in enough to wear.

Q: You don’t want to wear a shiny new one, of course. It has to look like it’s been used, right?

DD: Yeah, that’d look bad. It’s gotta have some rot hanging off of it. It’s got to have those little pills hanging there.

Q: Yech. That isn’t going to be a good image for the people who do those Duchovny/red Speedo poems on the Web.

DD: Really? There are poems? Is that because I did a poem about it in Rolling Stone? Well, I wouldn’t mind seeing that. That sounds okay.

#it was a regular bathing suit in the 90s #men here wore those to go swimming #txf
