Do you happen to have a fic list of AU stories where Mulder and Scully meet / know each other / are friends as children?

Or ones where adult Mulder or Scully meets their partner or themselves as a child?

Got a few selections for yeh. :DD

Loose chronological order below~

Mulder, Scully, and Childhood AUs

Canon (Loosely)

Shelba's The Man of her Dreams

Time passed; in dreams she ran with him through dark streets, strove for the light when he searched through shadows, flinched as his gun spat fire; shed tears as he was hit with loss after loss.

Melissa dreamt of Mulder for years before he and Scully met.

@cecilysass/cecily_sass/Cecily Sasserbaum’s The Boy on the Beach (1/16) (Ao3)

“At 38, I’ll be married to someone who looks like Raquel Welch and we’ll be very happy and rich and have good-looking and smart kids and live in a nice house in the suburbs, so I don’t think whatever you just said will apply to me,” he said, a note of unease.

Somberly, Scully picked up a piece of seashell sitting on the street. She tried not to think about how similar that boyish daydream was to Mulder’s brain surgery vision of suburban life. How Diana Fowley had an unmistakable 1990s Raquel Welch look. So consistent, she thought. He’s consistent. I’m the inconsistency.

Post Amor Fati Scully is shot back to the groovin' 70s. While Mulder scrambles to locate her, she travels the continent to prevent Samantha's fate, battling feelings of rejection as she prepares to sacrifice her future for his happiness.

AUs

@tofuttim/tofuttiM's The Meeting (Ao3)

“So six months? Do you think it's a boy or a girl?” Teena asked.

“At this point, we already have one of each, of course I want a healthy baby, but I wouldn’t mind another girl.”  Both the women watched Fox close the book and toss it on the floor.

AU-- A pregnant Maggie Scully meets Tena Mulder's precocious little toddler.

@atths--twice/ATTHS_TWICE/Atths2/ATTHS's Building Blocks

Six months ago, Dana thought, touching his face in the picture. And two years since I’ve heard from him. 

But… he still had the ability to make her stomach flip and her heart race. Even more so now as she could recognize the feelings for what they were and what they had always been. 

AU-- Mulder and Scully share a brief childhood of Ding Dongs, Doritos, and treehouse building before his dad transfers bases.

Ex-Celtic star CLEARED of sexually assaulting woman

Simon Lynch, 41, was alleged to have groped her at a flat in Glasgow’s Tollcross on February 6, 2020.

Court papers stated Lynch – who played five times for the Hoops – repeatedly entered her bedroom uninvited.

It was claimed he repeatedly asked her to kiss him and touched her on the body.

Lynch, who played for Preston, Dundee and Airdrie, is said to have seized her by the wrists.

The charge says he sat astride her, placed her wrists above her head and pinned her to a bed.

The former striker, of the city’s Mount Vernon, was then claimed to have seized and slapped her on the bottom.

Lynch - who had been due to face a summary trial - without a jury - denied the single charge at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

The trial was initially adjourned in November due to the non-attendance at court of the alleged victim.

The new trial date today was told that the woman had not been cited to come to court by the Crown.

Prosecutor Leo McGinn said: "There were two requests made by my office to the police to personally cite her following the last occasion.

"I appreciate this is an unsatisfactory position as the case was adjourned due to her non attendance on the last occasion."

Paul McCormick, defending, opposed the Crown motion to adjourn the trial.

The lawyer told the court that his client has since lost his job at a charity since the last calling of the case.

He said: "The entire process has been hanging over my client's head for 27 months.

"There have been obvious consequences with the loss of his employment.

"He understands the firm stance due to the publicity that reached the press.

"The Crown really ought to have done more to have the witness cited for today."

Sheriff Jonathan Guy refused the motion to adjourn the trial to another date.

He said: "It has been more than two years and the Crown are not in a position to proceed as it failed to take the necessary step to cite the witness for this case.

"Given the impact of these proceedings and the Crown's repeated failings, I have decided the interests of justice don't support the Crown.

"It is not in the interest of justice for the Crown to be given a third opportunity to do that."

The case was then deserted simpliciter by the Sheriff.

Lynch followed in the footsteps of father Andy, who captained Celtic, by playing at Parkhead between 1999 and 2001.

Fic Recommendations: DeadAlive

So I really like post-DeadAlive fics. Not because I’m a big resurrection story fan (Jesus / Osiris stans, no offense) but because I can’t get enough of angst, repressed feelings and baby daddy reveal drama. I am going to post a version of my very own later this week. Meanwhile, I read a lot of these, so I thought I would share some recs. Here are a few of my favorites.

Slow Returns - o666666  You just don’t know how often I reread this. I love it so, so much. This one puts the emphasis on Scully’s trauma, and it’s so angsty, and it’s so sweeeeeet. I tear up every time.

DeadAlive AU - @markwatneyandenesemble I always say I actually think this should probably be called Three Words Canon Divergence or something, but whatever it is, I love it. The premise is two specific changes to canon. When Mulder comes back from the dead: (1) he has memories only to 1996 and (2) Scully isn’t visibly pregnant yet.

Author Skuls seems to feel about about this subgenre like I do, because she seems to have written a lot of post-DeadAlive, and I’m not complaining. Here’s a little DeadAlive Skuls tasting trio:

the smaller odysseys - skuls (@ghostbustermelanieking)  An AU DeadAlive fic in which Doggett convinces Skinner to keep Mulder’s resurrection a secret from Scully for longer. This ends like awwwwwwwww.

ashes and dust - skuls (@ghostbustermelanieking)  A largely canon-compliant DeadAlive / Three Words deep dive.

inches between them - skuls (@ghostbustermelanieking)  Another Skuls fic on this subject, also exceptionally sweet.

Doctor, Copper, Sailer, Corpse - Scarlet Baldy This is a series of first person vignettes from Scully POV. Extremely angsty and a little painful, with a very self-destructive version of Mulder here, but ultimately a hopeful ending. 

Ray of Light - OnlyTheInevitable (@gaycrouton) Honest conversation, then hot pregnancy sex—a Three Words fic we can all get behind. Which I think is actually one of the suggested positions for pregnancy sex.

Words, Words, Words - Circe Invidiosa (@invidiosa ) I’m not much of a Doggett fan, but I love this fic about Doggett breaking things down for Mulder. This is subtly written and moving— a heartbreaking Mulder characterization, in my opinion. home run - kittenscully Another great “Doggett gets involved” fic. Also very moving. Apparently this is how I like my Doggett. The Laws of Coming and Going - Buckingham A gentle Mulder-centric fic focused on his good intentions and slow moves back towards connecting with Scully. Very in-character and sweet. Hour of Lead - DarlaBlack (@sigritandtheelves) This is an excellent read — but watch out for the bleak, tear-out-your-heart ending. It's only painful because it’s canon compliant, so warning: you have to remember what happens with Scully’s longed-for miracle baby in canon. Waaaaah. So much angst. Untitled - @wtfmulder I see you, you wildly touching little drabble. This is set between Three Words and Empedocles, and it’s meant to explain the seeming change in Mulder’s attitude, and why does this make me cry?

What have I missed? Y’all have other post-DeadAlive fics you like? Have you written any? SEND THEM MY WAY.

so today my guest lecturer for one of my classes is “Professor Moomaw”

I already know he’s a dude but I’m still 100% expecting some sweet southern old lady to come tottering through the door and talk to us about veterinary medicine but also go on tangents about jam, and how good of a baker her grandson is, and that she just met his boyfriend who’s such a nice young man and perfect for her grandson, etc etc

[wastherealight]

Hi no this message is wrong and very guilt trip-y and toxic (no offense to the op or other people who reblogged this, it’s a very easy message to understand and believe and pass on, but it’s just pretty much not true.)

Not to start drama but as a vet student who has worked in MANY different clinical settings, I can tell you that this is nearly 100% inaccurate - pets who don’t have their owners with them when they are put down pretty much don’t ever act like this - and in the instance where an animal suffers from separation anxiety, vet professionals know how to handle these animals and comfort them so they are not in serious distress.

Vet professionals have been seeing this sort of messaging go around for a while now, and we’ve been constantly trying to tell people that it’s not true, but for some reason it still gets told. IMO this whole “my friend of a friend who’s a vet tech said this” was either never actually a vet tech and is lying, is trying to spread shit for the drama/clout/trying to force people to conform to their moral beliefs, or didn’t work in vet med long before they quit and have inaccurate/inappropriate understandings about a lot of vet med (this is very commonly true - people enter into vet med thinking it’s for them, they find out it’s really not for them, but they then leave with a very biased understanding of what vet med is).

DO NOT force yourself to be in the room with your animal is put down unless you genuinely believe you can handle it and it’s what you want to do. Watching that can be very mentally and emotionally traumatic for people; veterinarians are capable of handling it because we’ve been *trained* to handle it, but that doesnt mean that the general public can handle it, and there are also lot of vets who realize they can’t handle doing euthanasia’s and leave practice to work in another field (I had a wonderful anatomy professor in undergrad who did this). Vets (or at least decent reputable vets) ABSOLUTELY want you to prioritize your well-being in this process - we work to serve our clients as well as their animals - and will not judge you for not being present for your animal’s passing.

Today, on 'Things That Ruined Me': My husband works with a man who used to be a vet tech, and he said that many people refuse to be with their pets when they're being put down because it's "too hard for them watch".

But whenever that happens, the pets are always desperately looking around the room for their people, right up until they close their eyes for the last time.

I hate the world.
