A Place for Joy & The X-Files👽🛸

I'm a writer & X-files fandom elder (but I'm chill about it). I'm back after 6 years away from Tumblr. My inbox is open again. Read my fanfic on AO3: archiveofourown.org/users/peacenik0/works

[peacenik0]

Hello! Welcome to my page. I'm a mom, spouse, and long-time x-phile. I'm also a writer and book editor by trade. I've been reading x-files fanfic since the days of gossamer, but I didn't write anything until 2018. Why? Because I was too scared, and I let my fears control me. But this fandom helped encourage me in ways I'd never dreamed of. This fandom is the best!

The following is not a full fic list. It is a sampling of some of my favorites and popular series. I mostly write MSR angst and smut, but there are a few fluffy fics in there. You will also find a few M/M and M/K smut fics that I write for fun. MSR is always my OTP though.

You can find the rest of my stuff on AO3.

My inbox is open, so send me prompts or questions there.

Hollywood Stars Motel

Hollywood, CA

That night, Scully lies awake in her motel room with Brady’s words laying heavy on her mind and heart. Her mind keeps circling back to the way Mulder looked at her that night in the warehouse. She vividly remembers desire and reverence in his expression. Then, there was the smell of his sweat, and the way his body felt against hers. She couldn’t get it out of her head - sleeping or awake. Can she really go the rest of her life without feeling his cock inside of her again?

As she restlessly repositions in bed, her ears pick up the tell-tale strains of synthesizer music from Mulder’s room next door. Is that what she thinks it is? Moans and breathy sighs confirm her suspicion. So much for Mulder never watching porn again.

The knowledge of what he is watching, let alone what he might be doing while watching, sends a fresh batch of images through her brain. Her own pornographic highlight reel of moments from their time in the warehouse, coupled with her dreams from the past several months, comes to life behind her eyelids. She squeezes her thighs together to tamp down the surge of desire as her mind continues to turn. She thinks again of Mulder lying next door. Lonely and aroused. What if…

I for one, don’t want to have any regrets, do you?

No, she doesn’t. And in this moment there is only one regret she can ever imagine herself having.

Before she can talk herself out of it, she stands and moves towards the adjoining room door. She raises her hand to knock, pausing to almost think better of it before rapping her knuckles softly against the wood. The porn music quickly stops, and after a moment of shuffling inside, the door creaks open halfway to reveal Mulder from the waist up.

“Everything okay?” he asks, voice a little gruff. He is not wearing a shirt; Scully’s eyes are immediately drawn to his toned chest. “Scully?”

She drags her eyes up to his face. His cheeks are flushed, eyes dark and predatory. Scully’s breath catches in her throat. What is she even doing?

“Yes… I mean… no… ” Her skin feels hot under his eyes, calling to the heat in her. A bolt of bravery hits her, and she pushes the door the rest of the way open to reveal Mulder’s lower half. He’s in the same grey sweatpants they wore the night they watched Candy’s video together, the crotch tented just as impressively as back then. She wants to reach out and touch him, take him in her hands and explore until she coaxes from him the same sounds he made that night in the warehouse.

“Jesus, Scully, what–?!” Mulder springs back from the doorway, hands flying to cover his groin. Subtle, she thinks.

She steps across the threshold into his room. Out of the corner of her eye she spots the television lit up in its entertainment center. She recognizes the scene right without needing to turn and properly look: it’s the same Cherry Li video they watched the night before encountering Reddington. She has interrupted at the point where Jimmy is going down on Candy on his desk. The tape is paused at a close-up of Candy, her face frozen in a perpetual ecstasy.

“You're watching the tape…”

"Yeah. Well, the edited version. The original went back to Brady.” Mulder looks at her sheepishly, “Is that why you’re here? Was it too loud? I can turn it down."

"No. I came over because I…I…” She forces herself to blurt it out before she can stop herself, “Mulder, I can’t stop thinking about that night we were together. I can’t…I want you, Mulder.”

Reddington’s Warehouse

Out of breath, Scully collapses next to Mulder. It’s strange to think about all that has transpired between them sexually. In fact, she’s lost count of how many orgasms she’s had tonight. More than she’s ever had before in one night, that’s for sure.

She is already anticipating the next scene with trepidation. What will Reddington do with them now? Will it be another humiliation? The uncertainty makes her feel vulnerable and a bit insecure. Mulder must be feeling the same way.

“I’m afraid to think about what Reddington has in store for us next,” she admits.

“God, I know. This really isn’t how I pictured our first time,” Mulder blurts out. He winces immediately, like he is afraid he has just ruined the moment.

“Me either," Scully says quietly. By his facial expression, she can tell her answer seems to have surprised him.

“You've really thought about it?" It’s one of the rare occasions in his life where he sounds skeptical.

“Well, yeah,” Scully pauses, faltering with her words. She hadn’t planned on admitting it to him, but it's only fair given his admission of the same. "I'll admit it's crossed my mind a time or two."

"Just a time or two, though, huh?” Mulder asks softly.

She feels her cheeks grow hot, and she hides her face in his shoulder. Nearly lost against his skin, she mumbles, “Shut up, Mulder.”

Scully: Oh my God! What happened to you (feels forehead)

Mulder: I know you're not going to believe me, but I got taken aboard an alien ship. I just kept asking them what they wanted from me, and what data they were trying to collect. And before I knew it, I was back home. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed.

Chapter 3: Four Orgasms and a Climax

Summary:

Mulder and Scully find out what Reddington has in store for them: lots of orgasms. Note: There are six orgasms, but I liked this title better. Also, this is the chapter with homoeroticism.

Warnings: dubious consent, canon typical violence and villainy.

Reddington’s Warehouse

Chatsworth, CA

Mulder watches as Scully stumbles over to sit on the edge of the bed. She's a bit dazed and out of breath after her Reddington-induced orgasm. “Are you okay?" he asks softly.

"I think so…” she pauses. Her face is flushed, and she is still breathing heavily. “I don't know what happened to me."

"He put the whammy on you, Scully. He did the same thing to me.“ Mulder presses for more details. "You didn't lose consciousness?”

"Um. No. Something just came over me, something I can't explain. I felt light-headed and woozy. It was so strange, Mulder."

“I know exactly what you mean. If you're anything like me. It'll take you a few minutes to recover." Now that he has confirmed Scully is alright, it's time to start planning their escape. “I'm going to find out what he has planned for us.”

Scully nods, still dazed. Mulder's attention turns back to their captor. “What do you want from us, Reddington?” Mulder asks hoarsely.

“I’m so glad you asked. First, we’re going to start with the foreplay. Our little lady here is going to ride your face like the sexy minx that she is. The rest of the scenes will be a surprise. Isn't that exciting?”

Mulder's swallows. The idea of Scully riding his face is one of his most guarded fantasies. But he also feels guilt and anger over Scully being forced to do something so intimate. He looks over to Scully on the edge of the bed; she's clearly blushing.

Maybe he can distract Reddington with another question. “Doesn't a good director tell his actors what he has planned so they can be prepared?"

"What do you know of it, FBI man? I learned from the best directors that you want to keep your actor's reactions fresh. It's more real that way."

"What if we refuse to do what you ask?” Mulder asks evenly. Keeping his anger and fear in check.

“If at any point either of you tries to disobey my rules, you know what’s going to happen next. Ka-pow!” He laughs, delighted with himself. “Okay, Agent Scully, our leading man is ready for you. But I’m going to need you to get comfortable and take off that bulky suit.”

Scully clenches her jaw. “No. I'm not going to do that.”

“It wasn’t a request.”

“And I don’t answer to you.” Her voice is stern. Mulder is glad to see she's feeling like herself again.

“Oh, well, you’re no fun. But that’s okay, I can just give Agent Mulder a little zap - that should convince you to listen...”

“Don’t listen to him, Scully! Uh, ow…” Suddenly, the metal around his dick comes alive with a painful electrical pulse that surges around his cock and balls. He yelps in pain, the surge feels like it travels right up his spine. His hair stands up on end.

Scully jumps up. “Stop! What are you doing to him?!” she yells, panicked eyes jumping frantically between Mulder’s jerking body and the direction of Reddington’s voice. “Okay, okay!”

“Sc- Scully -!” Through gritted teeth, Mulder tries to protest; The last thing he wants is her to strip down for this creep. He is prepared to endure the pain if it means keeping Scully out of this.

Scully ignores him.

“I’ll do what you ask, just stop hurting him!” She shrugs off her blazer, demonstrating her compliance. “See?”

“That’s what I like to see.”

Another jolt of electricity pulses through his cock, and he yelps in pain.

“Turn it off!” Scully commands.

Lights, Camera, Orgasm

Chapter 2: A Tale of Two Orgasms

by @peacenik0 and @observeroftheuniverse

Cover art by Agent_Starbuck

Summary: Our villain has Mulder and Scully right where he wants them: naked and in front of a camera. They never thought they'd be in a position like this.

Los Angeles, CA 11:02 AM

Mulder stands at the gate of a mid-century modern home in the Hollywood Hills overlooking the city. It is hands down one of the most impressive homes he has ever seen: a sprawling single-story structure with floor-to-ceiling windows minimally broken up by thin white columns. The abundant windows and open floor plan inside allow one to see straight through the impressive house to the striking blue pool on the other side. Its irregular shape and the contrast between bright blue against a white patio make it appear like an abstract painting. Even more impressive than the house is its view of the city: a breathtaking expanse of urban sprawl that glitters for miles. The home must cost a fortune, he wonders how the Cumming Edge Production Company can afford to film here.

This will be his first time on a porn set. Truthfully, he has always been a little curious about what goes on behind the scenes of his favorite videos. Will it be just like any other workplace? He is lost in thought when he hears a vehicle approaching. He turns to see Brady Bower pulling up in a golf cart.

“Agent Mulder, I thought that was you,” Brady says, jumping out of the golf cart. He looks hard at work with a walkie-talkie attached to his hip and a clipboard in his hand.

“Where's Agent Scully?" Brady asks, glancing behind him. Mulder wonders if he’s disappointed. He suddenly hopes Brady is married, but a glance at his left hand leaves Mulder disappointed. It hadn’t escaped his notice that Scully was a little taken with the man, even if she didn’t believe his story.

“She went to talk to some of the lab techs at the hospital, and interview Cherry Li."

“Ah.” Brady leads Mulder toward the house.

“Nice digs,” Mulder says in awe. He can’t quite place it, but he’s pretty sure he’s seen the home in a movie.

“Yeah, the owners are friends with our director. They’re out of town, and letting us use it for the shoot.”

“Very generous of them.”

Brady walks them through the home and out a sliding glass door to the pool in the back. The pool is an irregular geometric shape, making it look like an abstract painting against the stark white of the patio it sits in. Next to the pool are a half dozen reclining patio chairs, two of which are occupied by people in bathrobes. One, a handsome young man with close-cropped hair and a chiseled jaw, lights a joint and passes it to the other. The woman who takes it is a beautiful Asian woman. She has long black hair with blonde highlights and a lotus tattooed on her ankle - he recognizes her from the video he and Scully watched last night. Despite being a porn connoisseur, Mulder hadn't seen her before that tape. He wonders if she’s new to the industry. Though it’s possible he just missed her - if he were to be honest with himself, he'd admit that he's been seeking out videos with petite redheads on the cover. He has noted, but chosen not to further investigate that trend.

The woman eyes Mulder warily as he and Brady approach.

“Cherry Li, this is Agent Mulder from the FBI.”

Mulder holds out one hand for Cherry to shake while the other pulls out and holds up his badge. “Miss Li, it's nice to meet you.”

Cherry ignores his hand. She blows out a puff of pungent smoke and sets down her joint in an ashtray on the table beside her before turning back to Mulder. “You’re a Narc? I’m not going to get in trouble, am I?”

“No, no.” Mulder drops his hand and slides his badge back into his pocket. “I’m not on a drug task force. If anyone asks, I didn’t see anything. I’m actually here investigating some kidnappings in the area. Can I talk to you about your experience last week?”

“Only if Brady stays with me,” she says, looking at Brady. Mulder catalogs the trust she has in him. Even from his limited interactions with the man, he can tell Brady has a strong, calming presence on set.

“Of course, that’s fine. Brady, do you mind sticking around?”

“Sure, we're on a break anyway.”

“I’m actually a little surprised to see you here. I believe my partner, Agent Scully, was going to meet with you today.” As he speaks, Mulder notices ligature wounds around Cherry’s wrists and makes a mental note to ask about them later.

“Yeah, well, I had to cancel on her. I’ve got a kid at home and rent to pay. And in this industry, there's no such thing as sick days. If you're not working, you’re not getting paid,” she says wearily. “I’m upset, but that’s what the weed’s for.”

“I understand that. I don't want to take up too much of your time, so I'll get right to it.” Mulder starts. “I’m told you ended up in the hospital with exhaustion last week. Can you tell me what happened?”

“Well, it all started when Eugene Reddington got hired a few weeks ago. From the moment I met him, that guy gave me the creeps. I wasn’t the only one either, the other girls felt the same way; Sandy, Holly, Debbie, everyone, even the guys.”

Mulder looks over to Brady, who nods. This all matches what he told them at the diner.

“Anytime he’s around, something in the air changes. I would feel these weird shivers and I…” she stops, her expression turning gravely serious. “You're not going to believe me if I tell you what happened."

“I know it must be difficult to talk about, but believe me, I've investigated a lot of strange cases. Try me."

“He started kinda staring at me, and, without touching me, he gave me an orgasm; it was so strange. I felt awful - dizzy and confused, then I passed out. I know it was Eugene somehow.”

Mulder had never heard of someone being able to give other people spontaneous orgasms, but he doesn’t consider it out of the realm of possibility. After all, Robert Patrick Modell had used mind control to make his victims take their own lives, so why not orgasms? He thinks about trying to explain this new theory to Scully. She's never going to buy it.

"I know I work in porn, and you have no reason to believe what I say, but I felt violated, Agent Mulder." Cherry turns away again, picking up her joint and taking another puff to calm her nerves. Pungent smoke billows around Cherry for a moment, then dissipates into the air around them.

Mulder feels for her. “I'm sorry this happened to you. For what it’s worth, I believe you. I really do. If you don't feel like continuing your story, I’d understand, but…”

"No, I'll tell you. I want to put that bastard behind bars. After I finished my scene, I was so spooked that I had Brady drive me home. But as soon as I got into my house…” Cherry pauses, taking a deep shuddering breath before continuing, “...someone came up behind me and hit me over the head… I can't prove it, but I know it was him. Eugene."

Mulder is just about to ask her where Reddington had taken her when he hears a commotion in the house behind him.

“That's him! That's Eugene!" Cherry sobs.

Chapter 2: A Tale of Two Orgasms

by @peacenik0 and @observeroftheuniverse

Cover art by Agent_Starbuck

Summary: Our villain has Mulder and Scully right where he wants them: naked and in front of a camera. They never thought they'd be in a position like this.

Los Angeles, CA 11:02 AM

Mulder stands at the gate of a mid-century modern home in the Hollywood Hills overlooking the city. It is hands down one of the most impressive homes he has ever seen: a sprawling single-story structure with floor-to-ceiling windows minimally broken up by thin white columns. The abundant windows and open floor plan inside allow one to see straight through the impressive house to the striking blue pool on the other side. Its irregular shape and the contrast between bright blue against a white patio make it appear like an abstract painting. Even more impressive than the house is its view of the city: a breathtaking expanse of urban sprawl that glitters for miles. The home must cost a fortune, he wonders how the Cumming Edge Production Company can afford to film here.

This will be his first time on a porn set. Truthfully, he has always been a little curious about what goes on behind the scenes of his favorite videos. Will it be just like any other workplace? He is lost in thought when he hears a vehicle approaching. He turns to see Brady Bower pulling up in a golf cart.

“Agent Mulder, I thought that was you,” Brady says, jumping out of the golf cart. He looks hard at work with a walkie-talkie attached to his hip and a clipboard in his hand.

“Where's Agent Scully?" Brady asks, glancing behind him. Mulder wonders if he’s disappointed. He suddenly hopes Brady is married, but a glance at his left hand leaves Mulder disappointed. It hadn’t escaped his notice that Scully was a little taken with the man, even if she didn’t believe his story.

“She went to talk to some of the lab techs at the hospital, and interview Cherry Li."

“Ah.” Brady leads Mulder toward the house.

“Nice digs,” Mulder says in awe. He can’t quite place it, but he’s pretty sure he’s seen the home in a movie.

“Yeah, the owners are friends with our director. They’re out of town, and letting us use it for the shoot.”

“Very generous of them.”

Brady walks them through the home and out a sliding glass door to the pool in the back. The pool is an irregular geometric shape, making it look like an abstract painting against the stark white of the patio it sits in. Next to the pool are a half dozen reclining patio chairs, two of which are occupied by people in bathrobes.
