This post is responsible for my fic suddenly being read again two whole years after I disappeared. Thank you, love. 🖤 I kinda needed the boost (and the motivation to write again).

12) Reyes or Doggett?

REYES my astrology mom

21) Spender or Krycek?

Tbh Krycek I can barely remember Spender and Krycek turned out to be an Interesting bad guy.

37) Do I have any fic recs?

Anything by @puzzlingpeace is going to be damn good, as is @kateyes224 and @storybycorey—those are my go-to authors. Also @sunflowerseedsandscience.

Someone (UGH I can’t remember who I’m so sorry!) also wrote an AMAZING Scully/Clarice Starling fic that I can’t remember the name of a while back, if you know who it is please tell me.

PLSSS write more break up angst fics. i love love love your work and i neeeed a good msr breakup fic because i like the pain :(

Oh my. Thank you so much. I haven’t been on Tumblr in a couple years, and just now realized that thanks to @need-not and her very sweet and generous recommendation, I suddenly have readers again.

The good news is, this is making me really, really want to write fic. Lucky for you, angst is my forte, and my absolute fave thing to write. Stay tuned, and thank you again for the kind words. 🖤

One of my favorite things I’ve written, ever. Fanfic or otherwise. It makes me so very happy that you guys loved (hated?) it, too. (Plus, I’m having one hell of a bad day, and being summoned back to fandom in this manner made me smile.)

Two Weeks, Too Cold

There’s the link. Thanks for the shout out! <3

dat last fanfic tho.... i love torturing myself with MSR angst. do you have any other recs for fanfics where mulder cheats on scully? thx! i love to hurt myself!

SOMEONE WROTE ONE NOT LONG AGO THAT KILLED ME. But I can’t remember who. It was like Scully came home to him fucking a woman he met at a bar and it was super upsetting. GUYS who wrote that one again?

Besides that, I have a few that are right at the edges of my consciousness but I can’t recall them. My main resource with questions like these is @i-dont-wanna-wrestle

Bi culture is being in a permanent emotional state of otherness.

The craving for belonging never ceases.

“It’s chaos. Be kind.”

[puzzlingpeace]

She was the first female character who inspired me and gave me hope that women could be strong and capable, and could make their own decisions (at a time when all I had ever been told was the opposite).

It makes me so fucking sad and angry that she has been so horrifically abused for her choices, stripped of her ability to have any control in her own life, and made into a victim over and over again.

“My favourite part was probably getting to work with David again, and getting to live in the shoes of a really cool woman. Doing the day in and day out of the series had a lot of high points in it. And the least favourite…I guess lack of control. Lack of a voice.”

— Gillian Anderson when asked her favourite and least favourite part of coming back for season 11, FACTS Convention, Sunday 8 April, 2018

My ability to wait is nearly immaculate.

The urge to ask for permission is embedded.

May I? Use the bathroom. Make a call. Have a snack. Leave my room. Be a person.

Yes. But first?

Get in line.
