hi, i'm ghost! i have a lot of useless knowledge, i get hooked on media way too easily, and this blog is a horrifying mixture of everything i've ever loved. sometimes i write things.
current fandoms: veronica mars, the mentalist, the x files, high potential, star wars, project hail mary, dimension 20, agent carter, psych
this is a different blog, but forever ago i was fandomsandxfiles/tiredmoonlight :)
Thank you to everyone who did such a wonderful job writing for this exchange (and being patient with some of the technical difficulties we had). A special thanks to the TXF Fandom; we have survived over 30 years by sharing the stories we love, letting our fandom authors know they did a great job, and supporting one another.
@xptheauthor | Sirens | AO3 | OG Run | WC 5,328+| Case fic: But in a great cosmic happenstance, she realizes that she is uniquely qualified to resolve this, because she knows her physics, Dana Scully, and so with the first thing that comes to mind, she opens her mouth and invokes the Law of Destructive Interference ie: two waves out of sync cancel out.
@k-quire | Don't Tell Anyone it was Me | AO3 | WC 3,005 | S6 | Fluff/Humor: Forced to work in a hot van next to her hot partner on the hottest day of the summer, it takes everything for Scully not to lose her cool. Oh, and the stakeout location is a strip club. Perfect.
@baronessblixen | All’s Fair in Love and Water Balloon Fights| AO3| S6 | WC 2,209| UST: Mulder and Scully have to face an unusual request when Frohike misjudges a situation involving Diana.
@maybe-its-beyond-words | This Particular Junetime Friday Evening | AO3 | S1 | WC 6,275 | Fluff/Humor: Scully learns in the process that very fun events and surprises can most certainly happen when she goes from being an FBI Special Agent Doctor to just Dana. Even if only for a night.
@thursdayinspace | Heat Wave with a Chance of Blizzards | AO3 | S6 | WC 8,080 | Fluff/Smut: After six years, they are finally together and Mulder could not be happier. Until he starts worrying that he and Scully may not be on the same page after all.
@dartmoorpixie | In the rain and the mud.| AO3 | S1 | WC 7,483 | Fluff/Smut: It was supposed to be simple, something lighthearted and fun between cases that had felt like lead weights around their necks. It should have been a way to escape the stifling air of the city, and of course, a flimsy excuse to drag her with him.
@jaquescully | Warmest Regards| AO3 | Post-Revival | WC 5,118 | Fluff/Comfort: This feeling never gets old, Mulder thinks to himself. A postcard moment on a very hot summer’s day. A series of unfortunate events. Adventure!Mulder comes out.
@myshipsintheharbor | Old Places, New Memories| AO3 | S4 | WC 3,358 | Fluff: Going to the Greenwich Country Club's Labor Day White Party was definitely not how Scully expected to spend her long weekend. But when Teena Mulder calls with a personal invitation, Scully couldn't help but agree.
@waffleelrond | Vampire Ghost Firefly | AO3 | S7 | WC 1,162 | Season of Secret Sex: Mulder and Scully take a break from a case to fool around at the lake.
@spookydanamulder-multifandom | Soothe | AO3 | Pre-IWTB | WC 2,743| Fluff/Smut: Mulder gets sunburnt on an awkward/intimate place, luckily Scully is there to help him through it.
@bakedbakermom| The Amazing Princess Pearl and Her Precocious Pirate Jessie | AO3| S7 | WC 2,028 | Fluff: she’s right, of course—real mermaids are theorized to look more like dolphins, not pretty women with fish tails stuck on—but Scully looks so beautiful, smiling at him in the twilight with the ocean reflected in her eyes, talking science around a mouthful of pilfered junk food. He can’t help but draw out the mystery, just to keep her looking that way a little longer.
@laurencem| Unremarkable |AO3| Pre-IWTB | WC 2,257| Domestic Fluff & Smut: how did Mulder and Scully end up at the unremarkable house in the first place? This was my answer to that question. And yes, they are too hot. And yes, then they have sex.
@little-grey-girl-xf | False Pretences | AO3 | S6 | WC 1,723 | UST: There’s been another Champy sighting, Scully!” he blurts excitedly, as if that’s a sentence that makes sense to anyone but him.
@cecilysass | Green Sky | AO3 | OG Run | WC 6,344+| Angst, RST: Mulder's been profiling. Scully's been frustrated. When the motel's air conditioning breaks, what will be bared?
@sagan-starstuff | The Search for the Kelpie | AO3| OG Run | WC 2,263 | UST/Fluff: Mulder and Scully get called to a case at a swimming pool training athletes and end up encountering Scully's ex boyfriend, who is an (extremely attractive) competitive swimming coach.
@wonder-xphile | It’s Not the Heat, It’s the Humidity.| AO3 | S6| WC 2,023| UST: Season 6 air conditioning is out in the Basement, so Diana decides to move to the Bullpen and work next to Mulder and Scully.
@bakedbakermom | Thunderstorms |AO3| S6/7 | WC 3,811| Smut: It thrills her and terrifies her in equal measure, rumbles through her veins like a summer storm gathering on the horizon. She wants to run for shelter, cower in some other basement until it passes; she wants it to break, to soak her to the bone and sweep her away.
@unremarkablehouse| Date Night| AO3 | S6 | WC | Fluff: Mulder asks Scully out on a date a week after their first time (after Mulder’s batting lesson).
The celebrity Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavors being some of the best ones is like the retail equivalent of having to go to a restaurant and order a rootin tootin yeehaw cowboy burger or something
The Tonight Dough is a downright hedonistic ice cream flavor concept but in order to obtain it you have to purchase a pint of ice cream with Jimmy Fallon's face on it and then see him in your freezer every day for a week
Happy Summer fic exchange @myshipsintheharbor and thanks for organising it @unremarkablehouse
Prompt: Mulder digs up a really flimsy X-File as an excuse to take Scully out on a beach or lake day/vacation. Scully sees through it eventually, but they end up having a nice picnic together one night.
**Notes:** No smut please! Ideally I see this happening sometime between seasons 4 and the end of season 7, but any time pre-season 8 works for me! some angst is fine to include, but i'd love it to be generally light-hearted and fluffy, even if there's no distinct romance :)
“There’s been another Champy sighting Scully!” he blurts excitedly, as if that’s a sentence that makes sense to anyone but him.
happy x files summer exchange day!! i was so excited to see this event cross my dash and write some more msr :)
this fic is for @maybe-its-beyond-words, and the prompt was: "season 4, the greenwich country club is hosting their annual white party for labor day and dana scully has been officially invited by teena mulder, and fox mulder is under strict orders to attend." i loved getting to dig into the prompt, it was so much fun - hope you enjoy <3

summary: Going to the Greenwich Country Club's Labor Day White Party was definitely not how Scully expected to spend her long weekend. But when Teena Mulder calls with a personal invitation, Scully couldn't help but agree.
tagging @today-in-fic, @xf-fic-fix, and the exchange mod @unremarkablehouse
skinner doing mid-year reviews with his other employees like ‘yep good job solving your cases and getting all routine training completed on time👍’
meanwhile with his two Problem Children it’s more like ‘ok so mulder was hospitalized over 70 times in the span of 11 months... scully held several US officials at gunpoint… both of you trespassed in dozens of top-secret bases and laboratories... entire branches of the American government have contacted me personally to complain about your interference… el chupacabra’ is officially listed as the perpetrator in three of the cases you were sent to investigate… mulder faked his death that one time so his pto will have to be recalculated and carried over… neither of you have attended a mandatory team-building seminar in over five years… also several hospital employees are claiming that mulder bit them…’
shout out to potc character Bootstrap Bill Turner because if he did not have the galaxy brain idea to hide a cursed piece of gold from a bloodthirsty, vicious, immortal pirate crew by sending it to his defenseless child, non of the movies would have taken place the way they did.
