Note

1, 2, 14 & 19!!!

1. favorite fic you wrote this year

i already answered this one, but i'll list another one: november 27, 1973, because it was really fun, and i'm pretty proud of how it turned out, and also, i feel like i could write a 40k novel about any of the scenarios, which is the best feeling.

2. least favorite fic you wrote this year

i'm gonna say band-aids and goddamn cats (or: the teso dos bichos one) because i feel like it's overdramatic and maybe a tad ooc, and also, it's about freakin teso dos bichos

14. a fic you didn’t expect to write

i gotta say locking out the ghosts, because not only was the original story never supposed to have a sequel, but it ended up being three times longer than i expected or particularly wanted, lol.

19. any new fics to start next year

the tithonus casefile i've been planning, which already has some words logged on it, but is very much in planning stages. it's an immortal scully themed casefile that takes off post Milagro and that, thus far, is gritty and dark as hell. i'm nervous as shit about it, so i'll likely try to have the entire thing (or at least a large chunk of it) written before i start posting, to make sure it makes sense, and it'll be my side project during s11.

fanfic end of the year asks

band-aids and goddamn cats

a missing scene from teso dos bichos with references to pusher. part of my series i’m writing as i rewatch the x files.

As soon as they get out of the vent, Mulder helps her stand, clutching her arms, and they walk away together. Behind them, the cats yowl through the metal covering.

“You okay?” Mulder asks softly, turning to face her. He reaches up to wipe the blood off of her face.

She flinches at the small contact his fingers make with the abraded skin. “I’m fine. It got me pretty good, though.”

“That’s gotta be painful.” He lets go of her arm. She can still feel the warmth of his fingers through her coat. “You still keep that First-Aid kit in the car?”

“Glove compartment.”

“C’mon, I can call this in and you can clean yourself up.” They walk together towards their car, shadowy and large in the street lamp. The possibility of a good night’s sleep is looking dimmer and dimmer. Scully climbs into the passenger seat, and rummages through the glove compartment for the little white box she keeps an emergency stash in. Mulder, leaning halfway over the driver’s seat, hands her a wad of tissues; she presses one to the cut on her cheek and another to the cut above her eye.

The door snicks shut as Mulder steps outside, the phone tucked between his ear and shoulder. How the hell is he going to explain this one, Scully thinks ruefully; she dreads having to give their report to Skinner. She presses the Kleenex against her cheek hard before reaching back into the compartment to search for the kit. It falls away almost immediately, fluttering down into her lap. She huffs in frustration, hand finally curling around the white box. Her skin itches under the drying blood.

"Here, Scully," says Mulder, appearing at her doorway. He scoops the Kleenex up and holds it in place, scrubbing a little at her cheek. She holds the other tissue against her forehead and tries not to blush. Mulder reaches past her with his free hand and grabs the water bottle in the cup holder, pours it over the Kleenex and wipes off the dried blood, and she is inexplicably reminded of ribs in Wisconsin.

"Thanks," she mumbles, and quickly changes the subject. "Mulder, why the hell did you take this case, anyhow?"

"I thought a curse would be cooler than this one turned out to be," he says, and she rolls her eyes and makes a face. His thumb smudges against her jawline. "I would've skipped the kitty show if I'd known."

"No kidding," she says, wincing when the wet Kleenex makes contact with a different cut.

He makes a small, sympathetic sound. "I used to have a cat when I was a kid. She hated everyone, but especially me. I was too loud, scared her all the time. She used to scratch me all the time. Hurt like hell."

"Mm, and I bet you were a huge baby when you were getting fixed up."

He smiles. "Something like that." His hand is hot on her jaw as he tips her chin upwards and studies the cuts crisscrossing her face. "Anything in there to take the stinging away?"

"Neosporin." Scully pulls the tube from the kit and starts to unscrew the cap. Mulder reaches for the bottle, but she shakes her head. "I can do it, Mulder, it's fine." She half-expects him to leave at that, but he stays, slumping against the side of the car as he watches. "I think you should consider a career change, Mulder," she says lightly, applying the Neosporin to the scratches. He raises an eyebrow. "To cat wrangling," she clarifies, and he chuckles quietly, in the same stunned way he always does when she surprises him with a joke. "You had that thing off of me and across the room in ten seconds flat."

"I'm always fast when it comes to you, Scully," he says with a surprising sincerity. "Or at least I try to be." Something flickers across his eyes, some dark memory, and his expression falls, just a little.

"My hero," she says dryly, grinning at him, but he doesn't smile back. He looks at the ground silently, and she can tell what he's thinking about. A hospital room two weeks ago. A gun in his hand, the muzzle angled towards her. "In all seriousness, Mulder, I've faced worse than cats. I'm alright."

"I know," he mumbles, but he doesn't look up.

Scully sighs, looking down at her knees. She was hoping they'd be past this, his guilt over what happened. She wants to move on. She wants to forget what he looks like with a gun to his head.

She turns back to the kit and scoops up the travel box of Band-Aids. She fumbles with the clasp for a minute, fingers slippery with Neosporin, before Mulder takes it from her. "Here, Scully, let me," he says softly, and his voice is so gentle it hurts. She nods silently.

His fingers seem to leave behind hot prints behind on her skin. Evidence. Mulder Was Here. Scully tries not to shiver. He unwraps a Band-Aid and places it over the cut. "I'm sorry I led you into a den of evil goddamn cats, Scully," he says mournfully.

"If I recall, I made you go first," she reminds him, patting his wrist.

"Still." He doesn't look at her as he smooths the Band-Aid on her forehead. "I'm sorry I put you in danger."

"You don't," says Scully firmly. He doesn't answer or look her in the eye, just works on putting a Band-Aid on the cut on her cheek. "Mulder, listen to me." She lets her hand slide under his chin and tips it so their eyes meet. He looks halfway startled, his palm against her cheek. "You don't put me in danger. I follow you because I want to."

"Scully," he says softly.

"I follow you because I want to," she says again, voice trembling. “It’s my choice.” She sees him suddenly with the gun to his head, pulling the trigger. It’s only been two weeks since her partner was forced to shoot himself and didn’t shoot her. "Mulder," she whispers, rasping.

He kisses her. Or she kisses him, she's not sure. Mouths colliding, heat fierce and electric between them. She balls one hand in his coat, tugging him closer. His knees hit the edge of the car, forcing him into a kneeling position that makes Scully taller than him. They don’t break the kiss. He hugs her tightly around the waist and kisses her and kisses her and kisses her until the sound of sirens erupt behind them. When Scully pulls away, blue and red lights play across Mulder’s face as he looks questioningly at her. “Scully?” he says uncertainly. His hand brushes her knee.

“Later,” she says firmly. She leans down and kisses his nose before pulling away to offer him a small smile. “We have to deal with the bodies now. And the cats.”

“Goddamn cats,” Mulder growls, getting to his feet. His thumb strokes her cheek, brushing the edge of the Band-Aid.

“I can second that,” says Scully. Her scratches still sting, Neosporin or no Neosporin. Her hand brushes his back as she gets up to stand beside him. “C’mon, let’s go.”

They walk together towards the flashing lights, trench coats flapping in the wind.

Mulder and Scully get William back.

repeat the sounding joy (joy to the world sequel, msr, william, christmas fluff)

Christmas with Mulder and Scully and William.

if the dead can hear the living (2/2, msr, gethsemane au)

“It him?” the detective asks, and she says, “Yeah,” and leaves the room on wobbly legs.

—

“And what about my partner?” Mulder hisses. The alien pauses before continuing with some kind of self-satisfaction. “Dana Scully died last night at Trinity Hospital.”

writer’s pen (csm, meta bullshit)

what if the x files was a series of sci-fi novels written by the cigarette smoking man, and what if the cigarette smoking man wasn’t a shadowy villain but instead a petty writer who cast the people in his lives in his stories?

motions of time (msr, cancer arc au)

He kisses her in the hallway of the hospital under the washed out lights: quickly, with his hands in her hair.

inches between them (msr, deadalive-empedocles)

It’s taken her nearly eight years to believe in the impossible, and it’s still easy to revert to old habits. She believed for Mulder when it seemed vital, when it was imperative that if he couldn’t be there that someone be there to fill his role in his life’s work, to take his place, but she didn’t believe when it really was vital. She never imagined him coming back from the dead, always thought it was impossible. If she ever imagined them raising the baby together, she imagined a reality where he never left and her life didn’t crumble to dust.

car games (scully, william, post-s9 au)

He gets bored on long car rides, restless, tapping his sneakered foot against the center console rhythmically. There is a succession of car games, and he gets tired of them fast. “Who wants to count cars, Mom?” he whines, just a little. “That’s boring.”

another year (msr)

Mulder celebrates Scully’s birthday vs Scully celebrates Mulder’s birthday.

date of birth (william, van de kamps)

Five of William Van de Kamp’s birthdays.

3:55 (scully, pilot au)

His eyes are something strange, almost of… desperation as he looks down at her. Like he’s known her for a thousand years. Dana shifts her weight uncomfortably. The man clears his throat, and says, “Yeah, uh, don’t take you new assignment.”

read it beginning to end (msr)

He stays up late reading Moby-Dick by lamplight, and lays it all out for her at the end of a chapter in pencil.

reunions (and an orange painted sky) (msr, william, s10/s11 spec)

Mulder grins wider in response, tightening his arms around her. “Scully, I think there’s someone you should meet.”

second step (msr ust, s2)

The first step is the one that reminds her that she is alive. The first step was her first year with Mulder, caught up in the excitement of it all. The second step is harder - but, she reminds herself, the second step is worth it.

smoke and mirrors (msr)

What’s your truth, she thinks idly, and is surprised to find that she wants to know the answer.

miles away (for xfilesrevisited)

It’s Christmas, and Scully won’t come downstairs.

unfinished crossover with stranger things

“Mr. Mulder, I am fascinated with your work on the X-Files,” Dustin says excitedly. “I’m sorry I thought you were a murderer.”

“That’s okay, most do.” He shrugs. “I’m sorry for my appearance, but I wasn’t expecting guests.” He shoots a look at Emily.

“It’s like I said, Mulder, that over there is Eleven, and she’s the one who’s like William.”

“She came from a bad place, and her nose bleeds when she does the thing,” William says, swinging her hand.

“And she’s going to help the guys find Will, you know, that missing kid, but she needs a place to stay,” Emily says.

The man is looking at her. Mike, Lucas, and Dustin are clustered together, staring at them. The man steps closer and offers his hand. “Hi, Eleven,” he says quietly. “I’m Mulder.”

Eleven takes his hand with her free one and shakes it. “Hi,” she says softly.

the werewolf theory (au comedy-ish thing)

Mulder and Scully solve a case as a married couple. (And it’d be great if everyone could let the last names thing go.)

“Scully!” he calls after her. She keeps walking without looking back, chin firmly set.

headcanons/short fics

headcanon: william's pretty excited about the fact that he's getting a little sister

headcanon: Jackson takes his little sister on long road trips during the summer

Mulder and Scully are married and domestic af

after Mulder and Scully's demise, Jackson takes custody of his little sister, and uses the X-Files to tell her about them

"You really felt the need to do THAT in front of my brother?"

"i haven't been to a planetarium since i was eleven, mulder."

"The baby kicked the soap right off my belly"

"You're sure it's not twins in there?"

"Okay, that was pretty funny wasn't it?"

Mulder was shocked when a man answered Scully's door practically naked.

“She opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out, just empty hollow silence”

"Jackson?"

"I don't want to live another second without knowing what it feels like to kiss you"

They locked eyes from across the room, each ready to act on the other's signal.

“Why the fuck you wear that?”

“Damn it, Mulder, I said no”

Suddenly headlights wash through the windows of the empty bedroom.

“You’re lucky that wasn’t Bill.”

“Mulder? Help!”

“Shit, I forgot the eggs”

“How could you even ask me that?”

“Mommy? Mommy??”

“Did you feel that?!”

"We are required for this case to go for a horseback riding trip."

“Is that a birthmark, Scully?”

“Why did you lie to me?”

"I mean -- Gatsby didn't really love HER, the real Daisy; he was obsessed with her, which is a different thing entirely."

“What do you say to that, Scully?”

She looks down at the paper in her hands.

“Your son was just arrested.”
