Scully and Mulder: *conferring in hushed tones, making the softest eye contact you've ever seen only breaking it to look at the others lips, with their noses inches away from each other*
The suspect they're supposed to be interrogating sitting like 5 ft away from them: ಠ_ಠ
fic: faking it
So, today's fluffuary prompt was "fake dating." I wrote "fake-fake dating" instead because I thought it was funny. No AO3 link today because I barely have wifi tonight and I'm glad if I get this posted to tumblr, LOL. tagging @today-in-fic
"Act natural, Scully," Mulder says, and she closes her eyes for a second, lets out a small laugh.
"This is bizarre."
"A little," he agrees.
"Alright," Skinner says, climbing into the van to sit opposite them. "You ready?"
Scully nods. "Yes, sir. We're ready."
Mulder refrains from taking her hand. Not yet.
"Remember," Skinner says. "There will be a number of activities over the course of the day. We have signed you up for all the ones during which our suspect is most likely to approach you. You will find your itinerary in your room."
"Yeah, we know," Mulder says, but Skinner keeps talking.
"All the couples within the cult fit a certain profile. So when you talk to people, make sure to mention that you're—"
"Newly together, on our first weekend away together, and obviously madly in love," Mulder finishes for him.
Merry Christmas (or Boxing Day...) dear Yeti!
@laurencem from your no-longer-secret-Squatch!
Some domestic MSR fluff for you! 💕Set in a little AU where we handwave a bunch of stuff and Scully and Mulder are both around with baby William. (I've been calling it an FU for obvious reasons 😅) I hope you enjoy it.

For a lifelong insomniac, being awake at – Mulder glanced at the clock – 2:14 am was hardly unusual, but waking up to an empty bed was rare these days. He lay there listening to the sounds of a quiet apartment for a moment and then rolled out of bed with a yawn and a stretch to investigate the disappearance of his bedmate.

Fluffuary day 6: Fake Dating
Set in "Tithonus"
Tagging @today-in-fic

Scully slips in and out of consciousness, but Mulder refuses to leave her side. Fear and anger clash inside him at seeing her lying here like this with a gunshot wound. A preventable one. The anger is not directed at her at all. Agent Peyton Ritter better keep his distance from him for the next decade or two, or at least for a few weeks.
More anger is reserved for Kersh, for separating him and Scully. But he knows Scully wouldn’t want him to be angry. What would she want, though? Is she angry herself? He can’t ask her. He can’t ask her anything. She’s just lying here, balancing between life and death.
He’s called her mother. Of course he did. The only reason he’s already here is because he didn’t trust Agent Ritter. He was already on his way when he got the news. In the hospital, they told him that he couldn’t see her because he’s not family. Right now, he’s not even her work partner. Flashing his FBI badge did nothing. Maybe he could have called Skinner or even Kersh to pull some strings, but he couldn’t wait. Couldn’t accept it. He smiles at Scully, impatient to tell her the story.
You've probably already seen it, 'cause I'm usually roughly two years late to every party, but in case you haven't, this edit will heal what ails you.

Chapter 6: Nowhere To Go (read on AO3 ->)
They haven’t spoken for miles.
The argument hadn’t even been about anything in particular, rather an almost inevitable release of tension after nearly four days of chasing a case that had turned out not to be an X-File at all – just an ugly, brutal, human kind of horror. The worst kind.
Mulder had pushed. Scully had pushed back. He’d said something she knew he regretted as soon as it left his mouth, and she’d snapped right back with something she knows she really regrets now.
By the time they hit the Beltway, the windshield wipers can barely keep up with the falling snow. Scully stares out the passenger side window, watching the blur of lights through the worsening conditions, her jaw tight.
Muder pulls up in front of her building and breaks the silence first.
"We’re here,” he says curtly, looking straight ahead.
ficlet: reunited
Today's fluffuary prompt was "reunion." I took this as an opportunity to write a little season 2 post-abduction ficlet. tagging @today-in-fic also on AO3
He feels as if they've barely had a chance to talk, to simply say hello over the past short few days. She's had a constant stream of visitors in her hospital room, mostly her mother and sister, but also some old friends and coworkers who suddenly remembered that they care about her. And whenever he'd found her alone, she'd been asleep, and so he'd sat at her bedside and watched her breathing.
She's not as pale as she was when she was returned to them.
Her sister wanted to take her home with her. Her mother wanted her to stay at the hospital for a few more nights. Scully silenced them both with a glance and asked Mulder to drive her home.
She asked him. Out of all the people who care about her, she asked him. He said yes.
while I'm on the topic mutuals drop your txf fic recs! I've already been starting a collection from the main tag (I love looking through the archive blogs for og fanfictions, herstory) and from authors I like but I would still like to hear from the people. it can be anything I'm not picky. and also self promo is encouraged
There are two great rec lists I'd recommend, one from @cecilysass - this post has a link to her rec list, as well as her own (excellent) stories . And @calimanc posted a great rec list here.
For casefiles it's hard to go past Syntax6, although there are so many good ones, including the early Cancer Arc story 'The Common Fate of All Things Rare' (Aloysia Virgata & Scarlet), and 'Ripper Weather' by Sunflowerseedsandscience. There is a brilliant s1 AU casefile by @leiascully, 'All Awash With Angels'.
For AUs, I love 'By the Dim and Flaring Lamps' also by @sunflowerseedsandscience, and Broken Things by @mldrgrl ). @slippinmickeys has written so many great stories, including some fantastic AUs, eg 'The Annapolis Grant'.
I haven't written any casefiles, but I have written a number of stories that are basically character studies/MSR-focused. 'One Weekend in Georgetown' is a very Scully-focused/introspective story set in early s7. I love writing (and reading) stories where they're just on the verge of figuring things out.
We are lucky to have so many wonderful writers in this fandom. Happy reading!

👽 X-Files "Pilot" Fic Recs
Here are some fics involving The X-Files “Pilot” to keep you busy on September 10 in celebration of the day the show premiered in 1993. Although these stories are good to read any day. Enjoy! 9 Minutes by Helen Wills So what *did* happen during those nine missing minutes? Cataplexy by @discordantwords “You almost looked yourself sometimes, there in the woods.” Center Mass by @kateyes224 In the wake of their first case together, Mulder and Scully make a concerted effort to get to know one another…and end up uncovering more than they bargained for in the process. Eight Things That Could Have Happened in Oregon by Stephen Greenwood Eight ways in which events in the Pilot could have differed. Fade Away by RM (Rocketman) A rainy night and familiarity.
Happen at Once by tree She wonders what Mulder tastes like. Late Night at the Hoover Part 1, Part 2 by fran58 A late night encounter. One Love by Rachel Lee Arlington Missing scene from “Pilot”. Post season four story. Scully, her health failing badly, reflects on the first days of her relationship with Mulder. Pilot by @leiascully On day one, there was the dark and the light. Pilot by @scullywolf It’s the end of Dana Scully’s first full day in her new assignment, and already she’s seen things she’s at a loss to explain. red robe by @how-i-met-your-mulder Scully’s thoughts (and Mulder’s thoughts seven years later) on the mosquito bites scene from the Pilot. Things You Said When We First Met by littlemisfit5290 She shakes his hand. She watches his slide show. She smiles when he tells her they’re leaving for Oregon at 8AM. She lets him call her Scully.
Tilt by Michelle Kiefer It was as if the planet had tilted and the ground had dropped out from under her feet. The Two Percent Solution 01: Distraction by Lysandra Scully is perfectly sensible, 98% of the time. The Weaker Sex by @seepunkrun The pilot, genderflipped. a weatherman to know which way the wind blows by @becketted These are not all the ways and whys and hows Mulder loves Scully, just some. In reverse.
It’s another anniversary of the first X-Files episode, so let’s celebrate with more “Pilot” fics!
Dana Scully’s Senior Thesis and Lift and Drag by Athene ‘I need you to find me everything you can on a Dr. Dana Scully, a goddamned forensic pathologist out at Quantico. And I mean everything. I wanna know what kind of toothpaste she uses, where she gets her hair cut, and the name of her first boyfriend…’ He slammed the phone down, leaned back in his chair, and fired off a Ticonderoga at the ceiling with a snap of his wrist. It had been a hell of a day, and the evening was not looking promising. / The physics of airplane flight and interpersonal relationships.
impressions, first through fifth by @softnow five times mulder revised his opinion of dana scully during their first year.
planetary courting by @wtfmulder Drabble pre-deep Throat
It’s yet another anniversary of the first X-Files episode, so let’s celebrate with more “Pilot” fics!
Fear of Flying by @sunflowerseedsandscience “I’m not so sure you and me alone in your apartment is the best idea just now, Scully,” he says, his voice soft. “Go on up and get some sleep, okay? I’m more than awake enough to get myself home. I’ll see you at work tomorrow.” His smile is gentle, and she understands: this isn’t a rejection of her, merely a lack of confidence in his own self-control. She gathers her purse from the floor of the car. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Mulder,” she says, smiling back at him. “Thanks for the ride.”
The First New Year by @mldrgrl New Year’s Eve, 1992
A Thanksgiving Reunion by @sure-fine-skullz Mulder and Scully have sex during Pilot, Scully gets pregnant, moves away and meets again at Thanksgiving (prolly a couple of years later) bc Mrs Scully invites him.

Happy 30th Anniversary, X-Files

Thank you IceandFire wherever you are 💗
Here was the thing about being a "shipper" in the 90s: These two comported themselves like this in photo shoots?
And then everyone, including DD&GA, and most notably Chris Carter the showrunner, wanted to act like we were unhinged perverted lunatics for reading anything at all into their beautiful platonic relationship.
