David Duchovny’s version of the Fight the Future kiss seems to have some contradictions.
“Q: The rumor is that you and Gillian shot a take where you kissed. True?”
"No, no, no. No. It was just like, we were acting like it was, like, a gross carnal coupling, you know? It was a joke for the crew and for us.”
“The actual kissing and you know - that was never a part of the movie and so we never would have shot that, no.”
“The only time we did that was as a joke. Gillian and I did it to our liking and then I said, you know, “Let’s do one, let’s do one where we - I take you up against the wall here.””
“But that was never- there was never any thought - we were outside of the camera's view actually at that point, so that's not even on film." --
Trust snow one: fic recs for snowed in / very cold MSR
It's that time of year ... well, okay, where I live. If you're in a hemisphere where it is summer right now, I apologize and maybe you can bookmark for later. I'm here to do cold fic recs for warm hearts.
I'm doing three categories here: AntarcticaFic (and there's obviously much more, but I stopped at 3 faves); Classic Snowed In and Chilly One Bed Fic (DEFINITELY more of that, but I would break Tumblr); and Cold or Snow Figured Prominently In Plot (not something easy to search, so I'm just randomly thinking of it and probably forgetting something obvious).
You will notice I don't have a IWTB category, and obviously that's a very snowy film. This is only because I don't read a ton of IWTB fic, and I just didn't want to go down that rabbit hole. If you have some IWTB recs, please do chime in.
(Actually, chime in with ANY recs because that's more fun.)
AntarcticaFic
Terra Australis - @sisterspooky1013
A little hurt/comfort, naked bodies generating heat, actual research into base stations in Antarctica, bunk bed love. This has it all. SisterSpooky1013 does not miss. You will not regret this read.
Four Days on the 63rd Parallel - @frostbitepandaaaaa
This imagines the practical details of surviving in a Snowcat in a plausible way (she says with utter confidence like she has any fucking idea how to survive in a Snowcat). A completely enjoyable read.
Certitude - Justin Glasser
A more casefile-y survival story. After Mulder rescues Scully from the spaceship in Antarctica, they end up in a military hospital in quarantine. Good, right? Maybe not. The hospital is not perhaps what it should be. A suspenseful adventure plot, and also, very sweet MSR. (Author sometimes is listed elsewhere as Justine Glasser – not sure which is preferred or came first, and if anyone knows, please let me know.)
Good Old Fashioned Snowed-In plus Chilly One Beds
It Could Be a Heart-Shaped World, If She Let it, And If He Asked - @mldrgrl
This one is one bed and snowed-in trope, but with heart and brain. Our agents are stuck in a honeymoon suite in the Poconos. There’s some character-revealing conversation.
How Many Tropes Can One Story Hold? - @mldrgrl
Listen, call me a simple girl, but it turns out I love a story that is crammed with as many tropes as one story can hold. Snowed in, sickfic, drunken confessions: the story of stories.
Keep Christmas With You (All Through The Year) - @leiascully
A not-really-Christmas story that uses Christmas as a metaphor. It’s also got good juicy tropes (first time, snowed in, just one room) but this is especially sweet, hot and sensitively written. It’s just so atmospheric. And there are some character choices that are surprising but in character, too. Mulder POV.
Let it Snow - @leiascully
Scully rescues a partner who makes bad choices (in other words, The X-Files.) Short but absolutely perfect, perfect dialogue.
a cabin in the woods - @monikafilefan
They’re stranded in the snowy woods, worried about the dropping temperature, and oh look, a hunter’s cabin! Snowed-in and super hot first time. Classic set-up done beautifully. A delight.
Cold Is The Night - oohnotvery
I debated whether this was classic snowed-in trope or not—it’s really a slight variation, more “we’re in a very cold outdoor tent and need to share”—but I went with this category because it’s the right spirit for sure. Delicious Diana angst. The cold / Diana angst combo is this one of this talented author’s specialties – see below.
The Coldest Night of the Year - oohnotvery
Mulder and Scully snowed in … with Diana. Angsty, jealous times. (But ultimately very sweet MSR.) This author is gooooood at this.
All the Warmth in the World - oohnotvery
One more oohnotvery story about cooooooold Diana angst and waaaaarm MSR. The three of them have to share a cold jail cell overnight. Diana offers to share a cot with Mulder (booooo). Is Mulder going to get his shit together in time?
Just Getting Warmed Up - @xfmaweezy
They’re still early partners, there’s a rare March blizzard, and there’s a chance to get one another better. So sweet, gentle and full of little well-observed details / Easter eggs.
Frozen - @dashakay
After a case, two new friends offer to share a weekend cabin with Mulder and Scully so they can unwind, and even to their surprise, they agree. The weather takes this plot in another direction. This is a tropey set-up and absolutely gorgeously written, by the badass author of the classic Blinded by White Light, which you should also read if you haven't.
Still Feeling My Father Ascend - cecilysass (me me me)
I wrote this one and I always inelegantly include my own work on rec lists. Post-Beyond the Sea. A more serious snowed-in about daddy issues and grief.
Snow or Cold Involved Substantively In Plot
By the Wind Grieved - Karen Rasch
Mulder returns six months after his abduction with complete amnesia. Scully is eager to help him remember who he is, but for noble / misguided reasons conceals the nature of their relationship and his connection to her visible pregnancy. All this and they have a snowy Christmas in a safe house.
white winter hymnal - audries
Twelve Christmases over twelve years, a series of vignettes – many which involve snow. Plus the name of this lovely work, hence its inclusion here.
A Winter’s Tale - Anjou
Scully and Mulder are chilly post-One Son. When Mulder seems to be disappearing oddly, Scully is not even sure he isn’t secretly meeting Diana. He isn’t, and the truth takes them on a tense cross-country winter trip. This is a long, satisfying MSR adventure.
