“If Walls Could Talk” (1/?)

As she walked up to the crime scene – a dilapidated house in rural Virginia – local police and her colleagues shot each other bemused looks, ushering coy smirks off their lips. Some turned to their partners to whisper and cover a snicker behind their hands.

She returned their loaded glances with passing annoyance, unsure why she was getting the New Girl In the High School Cafeteria welcome, but her mind was on the case and her partner who, by the looks of his car out front, had beat her to the scene.

She had been elbow-deep in the autopsy bay investigating the suspicious death of a fair-skinned, red-headed female scientist and Mulder had been chasing some leads on a possible suspect when they got the call that they needed to come out to this house right away to see the latest development.

Mulder, who barely let Scully out of his sight since the murder, convinced it was a warning before coming after her next, wanted to drive back to the office and go together, but Scully said it would waste time. She’d meet him there.

Driving to the house, Scully thought about the case and decided it was absurd – egotistical, even – to think that her life was in danger because someone killed a scientist who happened to have red hair.

Mulder was being his usual overbearing self. It could be sweet, but she hated being treated like a porcelain doll about to fall off a shelf.

She didn’t need protecting.

&&&&&&&&

The phone jolted them awake, Mulder automatically slapping at the nightstand, trying to stop the infernal noise from interrupting his warm cocoon of naked Scully suctioned to his chest, hand glued to her breast, feet tangled, knees bent, parts hard. The cold rush of air between them when they separated woke Scully to a half-stupor, “Mulder?”

“Yeah, hang on.” Finally finding the phone, he woke up quickly once he caught sight of the time.

3:45am.

“Fuck.”

Scully was already struggling to stand by the time he hung up, his statement to her brief but clear, “Sam’s gone.”

In which Scully becomes a Consortium doctor, and Mulder moves heaven and earth.

This is a long (81K) MSR story, many years in the making, a bit of a wild ride, but (me being me) you can count on that ending dissolving into fluff.

Well. Here’s that inevitably maudlin moment where I’m overwhelmed by affection for this helluva fandom and all those who wander in’t.

lilydalexf

do you have a list of cute jealous scully fics where mulder is confused at her jealousy because he thought it was pretty obvious he’s in love with her

I have a list of jealousy fic recs.

Here are the stories on that list that include Scully being jealous, but I don’t think any have their sole focus on the situation you describe. I hope you like them anyway! If anybody has a fic to rec that’s just like what anon describes, please let us know.

Up in your arms

Read here on A03

Note to my readers: This story does not take place within the universe I’ve established in most of my work. It begins right after “Closure” and while it loosely follows canon, canonical events aren’t important to the story and it will ultimately diverge. It’s essentially how I would have ended the MSR story in S7. No brain disease here, I promise.;)

The title is from Echo & the Bunnymen’s “The Killing Moon” which was the inspiration for this story. (Also, I’m aware Donnie Darko wasn’t released until 2001 but let’s suspend our disbelief a bit, since we’re doing it already anyway.)

Hic sunt smut ahead.

**The last part of chapter one might feel a little familiar: it’s a repurposed tumblr prompt that I was asked to continue and, well, it turned into this.

Prologue

A lifetime of searching had yielded results: truth, in its infinite cruelty.

He’d sent Samantha up into starlight: an innocent sprite turned celestial body. His entire life he’d dreamed nightly of her, of what felt like nothing but her: her face, haunted and terrified, as she was dragged away from him into the bright lights; her screams of Fox. Every day he hated the sound of his own name more.

He rarely slept, not really. And when he did, never well. He didn’t want to. Sleeping meant living there again and again. Whether real or imagined or simply a manifestation of guilt, the nightmare lived there, a constant within his mind, waiting to be set free.

Tonight, he’d wrapped his arms around his lost sister and let her go, up into the sky, for good. The tears he’d wept were real, but so was his freedom.

Scully drove them to the airport and as they sped closer to home he felt as if he were sleepwalking the entire time: the car, the motel. The airline counter. Security. A cup of coffee pressed between his chilled hands by Scully’s warm ones, the steam and smell of it encircling him. Scully’s blue eyes watching him over the rim of her own cup.

He drank, but tasted nothing.

They said very few words to each other for hours, but when the plane touched down in DC, he felt her take his hand and squeeze it. He looked over and saw tears in her eyes. She was the only other person in the world who could possibly understand where his head was at this moment, and he squeezed back and smiled, not really knowing what to say, but her eyes told him everything he needed to know.

“You gonna be okay tonight, Mulder?” she asked tentatively as she later pulled up to the curb outside Hegal Place.

“Yeah,” he said, and he really thought he meant it. “I’m okay.”

She nodded and he could tell she wanted to believe him. “I’ll see you tomorrow, then.”

“Tomorrow.”

When he closed the door of his apartment and dropped his keys on the dining room table, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad to be home again, but he’d never felt so alone in his life.

***

Sitting in Skinner’s office felt strange this morning. Mulder was having the distinct realization that his life had been composed of sections: the part before Samantha disappeared, the part while she was missing, and the part after. The now.

The now, the now, the now.

What now?

The one year anniversary of “In a Dark Place” has come!

Literally.

One year ago, @observeroftheuniverse and I embarked on a journey of epic proportions. We collaborated on this prompt:

“Fuck or die” Mulder and Scully are forced (at gunpoint, or by some other coercion) to have sex with each other. Dub-con - they both want and have feelings for each other, but not under those circumstances. Bonus points if this is their first time.

Over the course of a few weeks, we tirelessly gave up sleep, work, and family obligations to bring you an original “fake cunnilingus” scene and roughly 6 orgasms for Scully (hey- she deserves it).

But don’t worry! We love all of the MSR feels, so there is plenty of those to go around!

The clerk at the front desk gives them a nod as they float across the yellowed tile of the lobby, still tethered together. When they checked in 24 hours and one heat wave earlier, Scully’s hair had been mussed, the left side of her sleek bob curving to the shape of her head, ends sticking out every which way. She had finally given in to the exhaustion that lined her face on their second flight of the evening, a tiny plane from Nashville to the swampy land of Nowhere Special, Florida.

Eggs and Windmills

An alternative ending to Ghouli… Assumes MSR is back on track. Thank you to @baronessblixen for some quick and valuable input! Tagging @today-in-fic

It’s the sun that tempts Scully away from the diner opposite their motel. The air is tinged with the undercurrent of Fall and she feels feeble warmth on her cheeks. She walks along the road – deserted and quiet thanks to the newly built highway nearby - until she sees this particular diner with a tall, red windmill on its roof. It feels like a memory she can’t quite grasp. So, she steps inside and is shown to a booth.

The diner is fresh and empty. Tables wiped clean and silverware untouched by the grease of the day. Dust dances in the morning sunlight and she smells smoky bacon from the kitchen. Her dry eyes ache as she scans the menu and finding anything that wouldn’t induce a combination of dopamine and heart disease is a challenge. She settles for an omelette. The coffee is hot and bitter, serving as a distraction from her guilt: Mulder is on a morning run, and would expect her to eat with him later. He has never really understood her need for solitary wandering. He knows when her mood shifts, and gives her space, but he doesn’t get it. During their very first case, having known her less than 48 hours, he showed her his deepest and inner-most self. The neglected child in him craves attention, contact and acknowledgement. Professionally she had to prove herself to him for the best part of a year, yet very early on he attuned his physical movements to hers resulting in an intimacy which is both affirming and invasive. He sustains himself in relation to others – his sister primarily, then his father and, finally, her, the weight of which has more than once threatened to suffocate her. She exists, and that alone can sustain her. She learned this the hard way. She is the sun and he has been in her orbit for 25 years.

THE X-FILES

Clinical Detatchment II

A Collection of Constants [Of Mulder’s many obsessions, Scully’s freckles was one of them.]

False Hope in Sheep’s Clothing [What was really going through Scully’s mind during her moment with Eddie Van Bluhnt?]

Gym Defense [While doing required fitness tests at the gym, a man pulls some dirty tricks while sparring with Scully, and Mulder is not having it.]

Good Thinking

tagging @jeankob

An unpacking of complications, the belated appreciation of a shelf.

“Jakob?”

He can tell she’s crying.

He almost calls her Darling.

“Jean. Come on. We cannot do this.” He thumbs his temple and switches the phone to his other hand. It is better she doesn’t call.

But she sniffs in a way that worries him. “It’s an emergency.”

And he learned long ago that love is not petty.

“Alright. It’s alright. You are at your house?”

Jean is at her house. He expected, almost, a practical problem—a burst pipe, or she finally fell on the porch steps with her hands full.

Instead there is no sign of danger but the fact that she is wearing her glasses unselfconsciously, cupping her elbows as if cold. There in the doorway he feels guilty for looming over her. And she is small enough to slip past his boundaries. He thumbs her cheek.

“Your nose is red like Rudolph.”

She studies him for a long time.

My Fav Fanfics

Hi everybody ! today I wanted to share with you the best msr fanfictions I have read. I was inspired by @sarie-fairy and I said to myself ... why not do it too!

Most of the stories are from the Ao3 site, others are not. I will put the link with the title of the story + summary 😉

Katherine of Ireland by @ Jenna Tooms Summary: The Kind is dead. Long live the Queen.

He is the Master of His Fate, She is the Captain of Her Soul by @ ScullyLikesScience Summary: Story begins during the final events of “The Sixth Extinction II: Amor Fati.” It then chronicles a canon-compliant progression of Mulder and Scully's relationship throughout Season 7, including the beginning of their love affair, and on through Seasons 8 & 9. The story will conclude post-IWTB, and may or may not incorporate Season 10 & 11 storylines.

Free by @ JustTooMuch Summary: This man she married. Stephen Cowan. Brilliant Attorney. Pillar of the community. Cruel and abusive husband. Of course, he wouldn’t have that last one printed on his business cards.

By the Dim and Flaring Lamps by @sunflowerseedsandscience Summary: Captain Fox Mulder, the abolitionist son of a Virginia plantation owner and slaveholder, has turned his back on his family and everything he's ever known in order to fight for the Union, rather than joining the ranks of the Confederacy alongside his fellow Virginians. He runs off to Pennsylvania to join a newly-formed regiment in the spring of 1863, and there, he meets and quickly befriends the enigmatic young Daniel Scully, a private under his command. Private Scully's steady shooting and bravery in battle have proven him to be a far more capable soldier than his age would suggest. But in the days immediately following Gettysburg, Mulder discovers that Private Scully is hiding a secret, one that could change their friendship- and Mulder's entire life- in ways he couldn't possibly imagine.

Souviens-Toi by @ Marie Fieve (It's in French but you can automatically translate it into English on Google Chrome) Summary: A year and a half after leaving Washington, Scully receives an envelope...

The Mastodon Diaries by @ aka "Jake" Summary: Mulder and Scully are thrown back in time… 12,000 years.

School, Sex and Subterfuge by @serahsanguine Summary: This story is based in 2018/2019. Mulder is a teacher, Scully is a student. This story is an NC-17 rating. There is no underage sex in my story I researched this before even writing it. Mulder is known to give extra credit of a sexual kind to Someone special in his class does this person turn out to be Scully?

XII by @ fragilevixen Summary: A killer romanticizes each and every victim, leaving behind symbols of his "love"...but who is his intended target?

Une autre histoire by @ Andy56 (in French) Summary: If you do not know what an AU is and the simple fact of imagining M&S during the conflict of the Confederate Yankees repels you, this fic is not for you! Shippers it's for you!

All Things Bright and Beautiful by @ dlynn Summary: "Scully, have you ever asked yourself what kind of man would quit his job, leave his family, follow you across the country, and never contact you the entire time he was here. Never once, in ten years, did he call you, or write you, or contact you in any way. What kind of man is that, Scully?"

Aussi vague que le sable by @ Andy56 (in French) Summary: Scully is married but not everything is rosy. Mulder is a witness at first impotent but which will prove to be precious.

The Scully File by @mldrgrl Summary: Mulder is assigned to monitor Scully's computer and falls in love with her. Set in 1993 and working under the premise that Mulder and Scully met on March 6, 1993 and not March 6, 1992.

Someday Your Child May Cry by @sunflowerseedsandscience Summary: Beginning with the events of "The End" and ending sometime after "The Sixth Extinction: Amor Fati," and told in a series of between-the-scene vignettes, this is my re-imagining of Season Six. Amid the re-emergence of Diana Fowley and the loss of the X-Files, Scully tries, with Mulder's help, to turn the impossible into reality.

I've got you under my skin by @ Cuits Summary: In a universe where soulmate identifying marks exist and affect a part of the population, would Mulder and Scully's relationship evolve any different?

Omens by @lepus-arcticus Summary: Mulder and Scully are called to Horizon, Montana to investigate a mysterious and gruesome death.

(And There you go! I hope you will read and love them all! Maybe I will share others after ... ♡)

sunflowerseedsandscience

Thank you for the shout-outs!!!!! (Also I love that someone else wrote a story called “Souviens-Toi!” I chose that title for the last story in the Pequod universe because it’s on a sign at the ruins of Oradour-sur-Glane.)
