let’s all get back into the x files w mama

hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.

I think what continues to draw people to the x files all these decades later is that Mulder and Scully are coworkers. like. all the insane shit they do for each other, and the whole time they're just. colleagues. sure, they're best friends, but we hardly ever get to see them hanging out together outside of work. they drop the craziest flowery monologues that could easily be mistaken for love confessions. but! they're coworkers. so they're like ok, see you monday at the office. they go to hell and back to rescue each other, both of them taking turns being Orpheus and Eurydice. but they're coworkers. they're the most important person in each other's life. they just work together. it's frustrating. it's beautiful. no one's ever done it like them. possibly because it's the wrong way to do it. compels me though

unfortunately I understand dana scully severely because if I were a twentysomething year old starting a new job in a creepy basement with pictures of bones and ufos all over the walls and my extraordinarily hot coworker immediately started yammering about extraterrestrials I would also have no choice but to tie my fate with his forevermore

[lexirosewrites]

what they don’t tell you about being a writer is that returning to a long fic you haven’t touched in a while means rereading 50k words first because you don’t actually remember your own fics that well

fic: Fragile Balance (3/19)

For @calimanc, who sent me this prompt two years ago. Thank you to my friends who helped me along the way through beta-reading and cheerleading: urlovingfriend, @unremarkablehouse, @bakedbakermom, @baronessblixen, and @bookishscully. The original prompt came from a list by @cecilysass. Set in late season 5. This is a finished fic and I will be posting a chapter a day.

Summary:

Following a lead on a case they just can’t seem to solve, an accident leaves Mulder with supernatural powers; the same powers their main suspect seems to posses. In a race against time to stop a series of murders, what could be a key to the case instead puts new obstacles in their way.

the thing is mulder ripped his heart out a long time ago and is always tossing it up into the sky and juggling it and wordlessly trusts scully to catch it when he’s not paying attention but scully very carefully and quietly pressed her heart into mulder’s hands soon after they met and he didn’t quite realize it even while he’s holding it and carrying it with him

[jackabbot]

i know i say this often but i cannot say it loud enough: people who comment on fics, people who reblog posts and engage with fanworks are the people who generate community and without them fandom would be nowhere, so truly thank you for your presence, you make the world go 'round <3

2026 MSR Bingo Challenge Card

Today’s the day, fam: the unveiling of the 2026 MSR Bingo Challenge Card!

For a plain text version of the bingo card: MSR Bingo Challenge 2026

HOW TO PLAY

Simply pick a row, column, or diagonal line on the board and write stories for those squares. You can write several short pieces or one longer story that combines multiple prompts.

The bingo element is meant as a fun challenge, but if you don’t want to write a fic with several prompts (or don’t have the time), no worries. Pick however many squares you’d like, in whatever combination suits your fancy!

*** I Want to Believe (Free Space): This is your chance to personalize the board! Maybe you want to include some domestic bliss in the Unremarkable House, explore an AU, or include a prompt not on the card. Do with it as you like! *** 

POSTING:

Post finished fics to the AO3 Collection (please read through the Rules before posting).

Authors are encouraged to share their fics when they post to AO3 on their socials!

Fic submissions will remain open indefinitely, but to be included in the official Challenge Master Fic List post on the socials, your stories must be submitted to the AO3 collection by Sunday, 6/28. Questions? Message me. Happy writing!
