Collector's Edition: Sins of the Eaten Flesh

Ah, yes. Cannibalism.

**Note: Will ghost edit later.**

Loose chronological order below~

@gilliansanderson/spensierata's Caccia e dintorni

Now they’re out here playing marco polo with a man last seen tearing out a cop’s aorta with his teeth, but Mulder has her eyes and she has his firearm. The wind picks up, howling in her ears and swallowing her name.

There's a heart-eater and a bright light in the forest.

@lokisgame/Lokisgame's The Selkie Godmother

Scully took off her coat and left it on a chair by the table. A little surprised "Hi" was all she could manage. Seeing him doing something other than reading or watching TV was rare to say the least. Mulder stood with his arms elbows deep in the fish tank and it looked as if he was vacuuming it.

The interesting habits of Mulder's odd fish.

@seek-its-opposite's AU where Queequeg doesn't die?

Later, with wet hair and a dry sweatshirt, she takes the dog into the yard to do his business before the long drive, and Mulder leans on the door frame and imagines a whole new natural order. He imagines Scully on vacation, driving the Blue Ridge Parkway with the windows down and never shivering with him on a rock in the dead of night. He shouldn’t have joked about cannibalism. He’s already consuming her, a little more every day.

AU-- Quagmire Queequeg doesn't die.

EvanBlack's WHITEOUT

DAY THIRTEEN

He had made her a crutch from a twisted piece of metal wrapped in clothing. She could only make short journeys, but she only had a short journey to make.

She came back into the cave and fed him the meat. 

Mulder, Scully, and a plane crash... and unfortunate survival options.

jordan's Alligator Moon

He shook his head and she could feel him pulling away from her as he got to his feet, some kind of thing he did without making any physical gestures, just a withdrawal of attention. She felt a sudden pang of loneliness for the Mulder that had only a moment ago been so tantalizingly near, her old friend, the man she trusted with her very soul. Now the stranger was back, distrustful, wary.

In desperation, she said, "Tell me about the Windigo, Mulder. What is it supposed to be?"

Post FTF Mulder and Scully iron out their frustrations surrounded by wendigos, suspicious white powder, and-- seemingly-- no way out.

Exley_61's Dark Side of the Moon

"How do you like yours, Fox?"

I twist my gaze around to digest the vision of my father but not my father, wearing his Chef Boyardee hat and an apron that demands, "Kiss the Chef".

I'll pass on that.

Amor Fati Mulder watches in horror as CSM and his family eat his barbequed body.

@aloysiavirgata’s (Ao3, WBM, Gossamer, LJ, Alt. LJ)

Prompt: post-millennium Mulder teases Scully about being into dead people

Upstairs he’s cranky as a toddler, complaining as she fusses with his arm. He says he’s fine, swats her lightly. Scully throws her hands up, goes to the kitchen for arnica and an ice pack.

Post Millennium Mulder and Scully dead people banter.

@enigmaticdrblockhead's Looking Forward to the Abyss

“People think when you die, you go to heaven or hell. But people never think about what happens if you come back.

“Well, Mrs. Scully…I do. Because I did die, on a case. They killed me, and they foolishly thought to bring me back. They were religious too…although…”

He couldn’t help but smile now. It was a joke and he knew the punchline. How could he not smile.

AU Mulder relishes the carnage he wrecked after Scully's death.

XSketch's (mulderscreek) Silent Night, Painful Sight

He blinked several times, disorientated and mistaking the air-filled bag his face was snugly pressed against for his bed pillow at home, until the freezing chill of the air stabbing at his skin registered and dragged him back to reality...as well as the pain radiating from the left side of hairline.

AU-- S9 Mulder and Scully investigate a cannibal case... or do they?

@dreamingofscully’s (Ao3, WBM) Surely, to the sea

Drip, drip, drip…

Her eyes flew open. Instead of moonlight, a sickly green glow bruised the inky darkness. She closed her eyes and bit her lip, wishing she could pretend this was a nightmare. 

AU-- Married paranormal investigators Mulder and Scully investigate a haunted house with secrets layers deep... and, perhaps, bite off more than they can chew.

Thanks for reading~

Enjoy!

👽 Random X-Files Fic Rec

In this fic, Mulder and Scully are working on a case together that's a throwback to a case Mulder worked on solo 10 years earlier before the X-Files. That history opens the door to exploring a bit of Mulder's past and for Scully to meet some people who knew him fairly well. Plus, Mulder and Scully are mere months into a new romantic relationship, which is a heavy theme of the story. It's a very good read from start to finish! Title: Jack Author: Exley_61 Summary: At the age of innocence, a child witnessed the brutal murder of his mother at the hands of a monster. Ten years later, can Mulder and Scully prevent such brutality from happening again, risking more than their lives, but their hearts as well. . . . Length: 447k (~78,575 words) Classification: Casefile, MSR Rating: NC-17 Spoilers: None listed (but it is set in season 6, so assume spoilers at least through season 5, especially seasons 4 and 5) Favorite line: Mulder could hear her rustling with something on the other end of the connection and he liked to think that it was that sexy black skirt, the short number that rises up her thigh and kindly exposes more leg for him to memorize. Read the story!
