nsfw // season 4 

It started with an innocent question.

“You didn’t get the tattoo you deserve?”

And with that, and those eyes trained on her with equally innocent curiosity, but attraction too, she found herself flirting and accepting his card. One irritating phone call from Mulder and she found herself accepting Ed’s sweet invitation to dinner.

She spent the car ride grappling with whether she was going because she was annoyed or going because she wanted to. Her blood pressure was still high enough for her to think it was just Mulder getting under her skin. But there was just enough desire making her heart thump when she thought of Ed and his bad tattoo and tender smile. When was the last time she even felt remotely tempted to go out with anyone? No, this was what she wanted. This was not getting back at Mulder.

At his apartment, she delighted in his simplicity, his honesty. Her chest tightened as she fingered the burnt photograph of his children. He had a dark past, maybe even a dark present, and there was comfort in that. She wouldn’t have to slink around her demons as if they didn’t exist, but she wouldn’t have to open her entire soul to him either. There would be an understanding between them. She already sensed that much.

He talks about reservations and buttons up this white shirt, slightly wrinkled, and more distinguished than anyone might expect. But she wanted to see him in neon lights, not candle. She wanted to see him in the darkness they both swam in. She wanted to get the real him, the one that got plastered and got a horrible tattoo, only to wake up innocent and bewildered.

“That crummy bar,” she echoed. “Take me there.”

This story is amazing, and you need to read it. Mulder and Scully have an extended conversation in a car about traffic that is intensely intellectual and teasing and somehow ends up with them talking about being in Mulder’s hallway with a certain bee. Then they get to Scully’s apartment, and you really need to read this story. Title: Consequences Author: Suzanne Schramm Summary: Every action has its consequences. Length: 37k (~6,200 words) Classification: MSR, a little humor Rating: NC-17 Spoilers: Through “Fight the Future” Favorite line: I’ve made my bed and I’m just dying to lie in it. Read the story!

Fic - Come Home

Author: @joelyjo​

Rating: NC17

Summary: Post-ep for rm9sbg93zxjz. Picks up immediately after the credits roll. Sort of ignores the scene in the church in Nothing Lasts Forever as I’m finding it super perplexing to put into perspective of the rest of the season’s msr content. Vague references to all things.

Warnings: Nothing that I can spot, unless you want to count a healthy dose of smutty stuff!

Author’s Notes: I am an old fan. I remember watching the first season when it aired. That’s how old we’re talking. But even though I spent a lot of time back in the day trawling Gossamer and was active on Yahoo Groups, I’ve never actually put pen to paper for these characters before. However, XF officially got me into fanfic and since then I’ve written for a bunch of different fandoms. But, due to starting a family, it’s been a while since I wrote anything, so I’d appreciate any and all feedback on this, good, bad or indifferent.

“We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there.”

                   Pascal Mercier – Night Train to Lisbon

~~~

There’s a gossip magazine on the counter along from where they are sitting. Paparazzi pictures of two celebrities in sunglasses adorn its gaudy frontage and the headline screams SPLIT, FOR GOOD? in excited white capitals. A man in a striped shirt plays solitaire on his phone, another aggressively works the crossword in the Post. There’s a young family sitting in a booth just down from them, the mother fussing over the contents of the baby’s cup. He notices these things as they sit and wait for their bill to be collected. Scully leans against him, her hand in his, watching too. They are comfortable, easy.  

“You ready?” he asks when the bill is paid. She nods and slips down from her stool. He holds the door for her and they exit onto the street. Sunday morning in Bethesda is pleasant - crisp and bright with early Spring sunshine - and the sidewalk is busy with a myriad of people going places. Five minutes of walking separates the diner and her house, and his car is parked up there, so they should just begin to make their way back, but for a moment they both hesitate, eyes blinking against the glare of light. “Thanks, Mulder, that was… really good.” She gives him an apologetic smile, ducking back under the diner’s awning to keep from squinting up at him before admitting, “Much better than the sushi.”

“As if we need more evidence that it’s always best to leave the big decisions to me.”

She gives no objection and his joke falls away into silence. He has enjoyed their breakfast too. It’s been good these last few months to make an effort like this, to spend time in one another’s company away from work and to choose to be together. To go on actual dates. It’s been slow going, but they are now a far cry away from estranged.

But these thoughts are his own, not hers. Nothing has been acknowledged by Scully – no comments or remarks about the change in the air, or the shift in the ground. It is as if, in her eyes, nothing remarkable has happened at all. He’s not even sure if she thinks there is more here than casual sex and dinner dates. After the Poundstone case, he too thought that that was all it was, but with each day that has passed, he’s come to realise that, to him, ‘casual’ is the wrong word entirely. In an ironic reversal of roles, he’s bitten the apple and all he wants is more.

He fiddles with the zip on his sweater. In his pocket, his phone buzzes audibly with an email alert, a distraction, and Scully eyes him with amusement as he quells the urge to check what it is, then chuckles at her expression. “I must resist,” he says in a robotic tone and folds his arms as if to prevent itchy fingers from doing as they wish.    

Another pause. Cars pass by on the street, their Doppler effects marking the passage of minutes in swoops of sound. Intermittently, pedestrians side-step around them. “Hey… Do you want me to help you sort stuff out before I head off?”

It’s an open, friendly offer, the sort of offer he’d have made twenty years ago without a second thought, but these days he finds that he is always expecting her to think he has an agenda. It reminds him vaguely of nature programmes he’s watched, where the hopeful male approaches the female with some kind of tentative proffering, aware that her mood will determine whether she consumes the gift or him.  

Scully looks down at her too-white sneakers, considering. She’s not going to eat him today, he realises. “That’d be great, Mulder. I’m not sure what will need to be done, but I’m going to need the door looking at for sure.”

He nods. “Let’s get to work, then.”

                        Spooky Empire Con, Orlando, 2018

*Clicking on links will take you to the original posting of the video/article/tweet… X marks the posting of linked content on Tumblr. It takes you to the post of the Tumblrino who posted it here.*

Spooky Con gave us what it promised, happy fans, naughty T-shirts, chairs squeezed together and one great panel with Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny!  Gillian signed the ‘ATTHS’ tee and when asked the question of: ‘What did you guys do when you ATTHS twice?’ she wrote: Every which way. Poor moderator tried his best but we all know it’s not easy to moderate Gillovny unless you are The Paley Guy. But we did learn that Gillian lived at David’s place for three days once, and never paid him! Apparently, David Duchovny never forgets and Gillian doesn’t forgive, just like the fandom. Although, David was unsure of the sex that occurred in the booth of Chili’s, Gillian could remind him by listing the details from the fanfic that she read… She also raised $4600 for SA_Yes mentoring and posted the cutest selfie with the whole gang together, thanking everyone for being there. 

Robert Patrick & Annabeth Gish are the cutest, and, according to all, she is an angel and a blessing to meet. Oh, and she ships Reyes and Scully, of course. 😜 But she also has love to give to Agent Doggett and luckily, the love is mutual!

Post-Ep/Missing Scene Thursday

After how heavy an episode like The Pine Bluff Variant was, you’d expect a post-ep transition from UST to RST to likewise be just as angsty, right?

So what a breath of fresh air tonight’s rec was. It’s told from Mulder’s perfectly, genuinely sarcastic POV by the masterful ML, and is one of those fics that should leave you with a blissful, ridiculously goofy grin on your face. Because it’s perfectly them, the way it happens. It’s irreverent and kind of awkward and really, really lovely.

Not your average post-ep for PBV, we’ll admit, but still very much worth your time.

Title: The Best Medicine*

Author: ML

Rating: NC-17

Length: 49K/9,000+ Words

Synopsis: A little trip into AU territory after “Pine Bluff Variant.”

Spoilers:  The Pine Bluff Variant

Trigger Warnings:  None we’re aware of
