🥏 Where to find good XF fanfics

👽 On Tumblr

@lilydalexf has an encyclopedic knowledge of fics and continues to be an invaluable resource. You'll find a boatload of themed fic lists, individual rec posts and helpful answers to anon asks.

@txf-fic-chicks-blog seven years of almost daily recs, with well-written blurbs and a lot of fun, run by @kateyes224 and @piecesofscully. Look out for their themed days: "Casefile Monday", "Tumblr Tuesday", "Editor's Pick Wednesday", "Post-Ep/Missing Scene Thursday", "Novel Length Friday", "Smut Sunday", and the very cool "Because You Watched"

@msrlibrary a well-tagged library of MSR fics; each entry includes a short excerpt and a nicely chosen image from the show.

@201daysofxfiles a rewatch blog by fandom veteran @wendelah. Each episode in season 1-7 is paired with its own fic rec post.

@enigmaticxbee an aesthetically pleasing and neatly organized rewatch blog that is packed with great content, including excellent fic rec lists categorized by season, story type, trope, and more. Each episode guide sometimes features related fic recs.

@thatfragilecapricorn30 posts one fic rec every Friday, accompanied by a nice writeup.

@randomfoggytiger curates many fic rec lists sorted by often fun and creative categories.

@cecilysass has a google doc titled "fics I love", which is a fantastic fic list categorized by story type, complete with thoughtful blurbs. She's also shared two episode-related fic rec lists on Tumblr: here and here.

@pookie-mulder writes a monthly fic journal with good recs.

**self-promo plug** I post fic recs on my Tumblr blog @fine-nephrit under #nephrit's fic rec. Plus, I reblog others' fic recs that I come across!

👽 Rec Communities

XF Book Club: the best thing ever, an absolute gem that deserves to be preserved for posterity. During its run, 270 fics were recced and discussed in depth here. The community's intelligent and insightful comments on this blog are sometimes even more enjoyable to read than the fics themselves.

The Fic Filter (xf tag): well-curated selections with short blurbs.

Multifandom Het Recs (xf tag): a major rec site's xf section that offers nice "why this must be read" writeups. @het-reccers

Crack Van (xf tag): another major rec site with a big xf section, featuring endless recs and blurbs

Fancake (xf tag): another major rec community's xf section boasting an extensive thematic tagging system

👽 Personal Blogs

Emily Shore aka Naraht: meta essays, fanvid recs, fic recs—great stuff aplenty

Bad for the Fish aka Scarlet Baldy: fantastic fic list paired with highly enjoyable reviews and analyses of the fics she's read. @badforthefish

Ramblings of a Mind Untamed: reviews of a dozen or so classic fics

xxSKSxx XF Fanfic Recs: still active in 2024! @xxsksxxx

X-Libris: more of a fic library, this is the best place to download nicely-formatted ebooks of pre-AO3 oldies. What I love most is the incredibly detailed and extensive tagging system.

👽 Individual Rec Lists with good writeup

Character Manifesto - Dana Scully: a character analysis and 10 Scully-centric fic recs, categorized by "best of .." selections. Amazing format and choices!

Character Manifesto - Fox Mulder: same format as above for Spooky

bachlava's awesome fic rec essays, covering classic fics and slash fics

ShipRecced blog's classic MSR fics and newer MSR fics recs

luminary's 16-fic rec post

RivkaT recs fics and writers @rivkat

Anna Otto's favorite stories

Syntax6's rec list on her site, great rec list on Tumblr and FTF rec list @syntax6

👽 90s Old School Rec Sites

The Basement Office - Musea: a treasure trove of extensive fic lists with lovely written blurbs, recced by a group of talented writers from back in the day

The Other Side - Fanfic Recs from Beyond the Grave: a large collection of 'scary' or 'spooky' story recs with nice blurbs. Beautiful web design.

the Rookery - Favorite Authors: nice commentary on a list of classic fic writers

X-Files Fanfiction 101: an intro guide to fic categories and what to read for each

The Primal Screamers: a fun site run by a mailing list that hosts fic recs with blurbs, and a 'Coffee Talk' section full of delightful discussions of canon

Idealists Haven - Elemental Fanfic Archive: an archive with rec blurbs

Chronicle X: a large, well-organized archive with blurbs, plus a 'Can We Talk' discussion section of novel-length fics, plus a total of 46 author interviews. Simply incredible!

👽 Special Mention

The X-Files Lost and Found: a fic finder message board that is miraculously still very active today—How wonderful! Its FAQ page hosts a huge collection of well-categorized themed fic lists (not recs), including "Classics (or, Your Fanfic Education is Not Complete Until You've Read ...)".

Where do you find your next read? What did I miss? Reblog and share your favorites!

For the Fic Recs (Ask Meme): 🔁👀💯👽(in case you have any, I'm curious) and 😭 A little too many, but I'd like to see your taste in VP fics xoxo

I know I like to declare my taste in books/films/music being garbage but when it comes to fics I have excellent taste:

🔁 A fic you’ve re-read several times

I rarely re-read fics although I'm avid bookmarker. Buut if I'd had to choose a fic I would never get tired of reading over and over again that would be Home is Where Your Teeth Sink, Love by timetoboldlygo. The portrayal of Vegas' abusive behavior and Pete's devil-may-care attitude inflicts great interactions between the two. There's a bunch of scenes I've savored deep in my heart which is why I'd mention this being also the fic I wish I could read again for the first time. I also remember liking the pacing very much.

👀 A fic that you love a normal amount

I love love love fics where Pete and Vegas are being weird in their little bubble. Honorable mentions to Pete gnawing Vegas' hand without explanation in Bite the Hand by ghosthouses and VP being all sappy about killing each other in Sweet Death by L_C_Weary.

💯 A fic that makes you think #writergoals

Two! I have two! First is Baby We're Nothing But Violence by Mawa. Intense is the only word I can think of with this one. I appreciate the effort to depict the ugly side of Vegas' and Pete's relationship which is anything but healthy.

The other one is Wholeness by 99_9. What I idolize the most is the feel of easiness as if writing this was a walk in the park. Quite amazing, really.

👽 A fic that isn’t prose (poetry, text fic, etc.)

None pop to my head - any recommendations?

😭 A fic that ripped your heart out (but it hurt so good)

Fault Lines by littlelamblittlelamb. Macau being torn to million pieces when he's trying to adjust to his new life between Vegas and Pete. Vulnerable Macau is guaranteed hit to my heart.

[butcherlarry]

Weekly Fic Rec 34

I had a long week at work, but the fanfic I read made up for it! Also, yesterday was Batman Day! Happy belated Batman Day everyone!!

Mission: seducing Superman by Speechless_since_1998 - Superbat, wip. Oh my god, this was so funny to read!!! Selina, Harley, and Ivy help Bruce (Battinson) seduce Superman. So, so many shenanigans ensue.

a coral room by TheResurrectionist - Superbat, complete. When I saw that Res was posting a sequel to this fic, I got so excited I had to reread it again! Basically, BvS, but omegaverse :D

a sky of honey by TheResurrectionist - Superbat, wip. The sequel to "a coral room"!! The consequences of Bruce spending his heat with Clark :) There is also lovely (and a bit sad, but still lovely) mpreg art by januariat here and here.

You Must Be This Conscious to Ride by justbeyondstars, motleyfam - Batfam, complete. Part of the Settle Our Bones series (Tim joins the family early AU). The Batfam take Tim to an amusement park for his birthday. Shenanigans ensue.

we shall be free; we shall find peace by mediant - Superfam, but Superbat is tagged, wip. More of prisoner Clark takes care of baby Kon fic.

Just A Moment by MyNameIsJag - Batfam, complete. A short and sweet fic of Bruce and Damian bonding.

when in gotham: don't drink the water by wesslan - Batfam, complete. No one should ever drink Gotham's water because of the side effects it causes. Too bad no one told Tim this.

borderline by TheResurrectionist - Batfam, wip. More of the hivemind batfam fic :D :D :D

Patchwork Pod by Ktkat9 - Superbat, wip. More of the mer bruce fic! They are off to rescue Cass!

Happy Reading!! 💖🦇👽💖

Fic rec asks: 10 and/or 11?

Hi! Thanks for asking! :D

10. 👽 A fic that isn’t prose (poetry, text fic, etc.)

Forest Blunders by @a-bird-sometimes! This one is a weekly comic, a dialogue-free Sylvaina AU that's amazingly drawn and so much fun to follow. A new chapter from this fic tends to be the highlight of my week. :)

11. 🛳️ A fic that brought you aboard a new ship

Oh my, where do I begin? I'm pretty open-minded about ships and often try out new ones. I guess I'll go with Destiny's Bite by @barbex. I already liked Zevran/Alistair in a superficial way, but this story made me ship them so bad. It's just... pure romance! *chef's kiss*

Fic Rec Ask Meme

[kiwiana-writes]

👽 for the fic rec asks bc I know you’re interested in *format* 😘

👽 A fic that isn’t prose (poetry, text fic, etc.)

I do! I DO love ~format.~ Epistolary my beloved, the WIP in my WIP folder written in verse, etc. Which is why you're getting more than one rec because I could not be contained, lol.

and history remembered by @sherryvalli in case you are one of the, like, four people who hasn't read this is PHENOMENAL. Not only am I a sucker for epistolary but I also love love LOVE outsider POV and this is just such a fun ride to be one.

I kiss the photo every night so you are in bed with me after all by @beautifulhigh -- okay listen I'm a little biased because I was the ~artiste~ for this (read: the author sent me a bunch of pics and what she wanted on them and me and my apple pencil whipped them up) but it's a fucking delightful, fully epistolary except for the intro, post-canon fic.

love has a voice (and it's yours) by @read-and-write- with voice notes recorded by @happiness-of-the-pursuit listen as someone who communicates through voice note at an alarming rate I just feel so deeply seen by this fic lmao and the actual recordings of the voice notes just ELEVATES it. I would listen to Rhys read me the phone book tbh.

And one for the Schitt's Creek babes: Path to Paradise, Road to Ruin by nilolay. VERSE. It's in VERSE. It's Greek Mythology inspired and IT'S IN VERSE.

[Fic recs ask meme]

[myheartalivewrites]

For the fic recs: #1 & #10

Thanks!!

Hi Allie, thanks for playing!

👍🏽 A fic you bookmarked recently

My most recent bookmark is Nebuchad-never had a friend like me by @clottedcreamfudge, which is a fic that had sat unread in my phone for NEARLY A YEAR for reasons of me being overwhelmed by the influx of fics in the fandom/saving it for a rainy day as I am prone to do from time to time with fics from my favourite authors. Anyway, dragons as pets! Safe to say, it did not disappoint.

10. 👽 A fic that isn't prose (poetry, text fic, etc.)

season of the witch by @thesleepyskipper which is a really fun ALL TEXT fic she wrote for Halloween Huh? last year, featuring Alex and Nora texting about the annoying (cute?) guy who keeps coming into Alex's coffee shop and maybe, potentially, a little bit of magic.

Here's the original post if you too want a fic rec from me!

By the way, QoH stans rise!! Did you forget our awakening? Remember the starry suit she wore for the 2109 gala and how everyone was immediately like 😳??? And she rolled up the sleeves?? Remember the x reader fics on Launchpad?

🪓 handoftheking Follow

Yeah, because I’ve read them. Hey, some fics were pretty good.

I also voted for Queen of Hearts. I mean, just look her at her. And as a fellow Lumian, I’m obliged haha.

☄️ cosmiclovee Follow

… Oops, total containment breach now? Mods I’m sorry, you guys don’t have to eat the spaceship that you promised to—

But onto more important things: RK’s own GUNNER didn’t vote for HIM??? And voted for QoH??? LMFAO THIS IS HILARIOUS. the total betrayal. it feels like he’s cheating. the disrespect for RK. i love it.

Also, Hand, you read QoH x reader fics? Any recs lmao? And did you read the bad boy RK ones?

🌲 dilfkisser Follow

So I’m learning from my dash that the Hand himself voted for QoH over RK???? My Treebark ship just sank in two seconds. Wtf.

#BALLSWEEP btw

🥂redkingsboyfriend Follow

Lololol the Hand’s narcissism is really showing. Look at him voting for his pre-transition self. He’s so vain.

@/exterrasexymenpoll can you please remove the Hand’s deadname? It’s disrespectful to transgender people.

📺 saintswept Follow

are you fucking for real, believing in the trans qoh/hand theory in this year?? they’re completely different people. shut up and ship treebark lmao

still funny that the hand didn’t vote for his bf and went for his bf’s ex gunner—

💫 concorp-official Follow

Hey, I know sunblr hates corporations but as the CEO of ConCorp, I feel rather… mystified that I got out in the first round. Was my mad scientist jacket not enough?

Personally I’m surprised that Xisuma Void got further than me. Anyways, supporting the Queen of Hearts.

👬 kissinghomiesgnight Follow

??? Look at how much this poll breached containment? First a CC notice, and then a racer notice, and now a fucking CORPORATION??? Mr Cubfan I am So Sorry but I think people were just too excited to vote for the Catmaid—

[leatafandom]

Hi, friend! Sending hugs your way in the hope it helps improve your mood <3 For the Fic Recs ask:👍🏽📆👽💞

Thank you dear! Truthfully I haven't been feeling great the past week or so and the watcher news threw me off my groove today, so I am very appreciative for the hugs.

👍🏽- A fic you bookmarked recently

I read A Walk on the Wild Side by Fark_Underbrudge on Ao3 (I don't know they're tumblr). It was so good, it's the genderbending Gabriel/Sam Winchester I've been craving. It's such a trip and very satisfying.

📆- A fic you’d re-read 10 years from now

Oh man I have so many that I would read over and over again and a few I read around 10 years ago that I have read again. So I'll do two, one that I know I'm gonna read again which is a Star Trek Bashir/Garak fic A Study in Cobalt by wanderingwriter87. Oh my god. It is so freakin' good it is the best case fic I've read and just the characterization is on point. I also wanna say Blue Hour by hopesetfree is an incredible reverse au fic with Gabe and Sam and is forever one of my favorite fics. I have read it many times since it was posted in '17.

👽- A fic that isn’t prose (poetry, text fic, etc.)

Ohh I've been re-reading SPN Lucifer Week 2023 Poems by @heavenssexiestangel and they are so moving. I really have been enjoying reading them again and I highly recommend them. If I had to pick a favorite, which is hard, I would say #5 Fall. It just hits my core. I do not possess the words to express how much I enjoy it. They made me remember how much I enjoy poetry.

💞- A fic that led to you making friends with the author

Oh, this is hard because the easy answer is @idabbleincrazy but picking the story that started our following/mutuals/friends is hard because I have followed her through fandoms. I feel like it was one of her Sabriel stories, or maybe it was a Spangel story? I think the first story that I ever read from her is Happy Trails to You which is a Sabriel one, but I think one of her Spangel's made me come back to Tumblr which I honestly can't remember which one. Though, it was probably something from A-Z Spangel series which is amazing

It's October!!!

new month, who dis?

👽🎃🍬💀🍂🧣🌻👻☠️🍂🌻👻🌑

It's one of my favorite months, actually. My wedding anniversary falls in this month, I finally get to bring out my warm scarves and hats, and I *so* love the leaves changing colors.

So I figured can we get some October fic recs? I wanna see your most spooktacular and Halloweenorific, your fall-festiest (sorry Southern Hemisphere) and pumpkinable, give me warm blankets and firepits and everything in between. And don't forget John's birthday -whichever day you tend to choose. 🧡

Rec your favorites, rep your own. Let's get some October fics in the house.

I'll start with a few spooks

Spooky Fic Recs

The Deep Dark by @godsliltippy, artwork by @sempaiko Characters: Gordon, Tracy Family, a bit of Pen and Ink at the end Summary: Gordon loves the ocean and everything within it, but he forgets, monsters can live in the darkness.

Terrors in Space by @godsliltippy Characters: John, Gordon Summary: Just a routine space rescue. Sure. "Routine"

Everywhere by @tracybirds/@onereyofstarlight Characters: John, Tracy Family Summary: John can see ghosts and it's definitely getting worse

Behind the Veil of Shadows by Kaeera (ff.net) Characters: John, Tracy Family Summary: When a rescue turns into a nightmare, John finds himself venturing into the Twilight Zone.

A Cabin in the Woods by @leiascully Mulder and Scully, on the run, stay for a while in a cabin in the mountains in Montana. A series of interlacing vignettes.

a cabin in the woods by @monikafilefan Being stuck in this rustic cabin, clearly left to age among the wilderness had Scully feeling wild herself, and it felt as if their bodies danced to an ancient song among the elements.

Camping by Amperage and Livengoo Fox Mulder and Dana Scully have survived abductions, serial killers, mutants and aliens but the Partner Cooperation Program Wilderness Encounter may finally do them in. After poison ivy and catfish, who wouldn’t long for a nice, safe killer mutant?

Changing Tides by QofMush Who says change is all bad?

Circumnavigation by Suzanne Schramm Sometimes you don't know where you're going until you get there.

Coming Back by Karen Rasch Mulder gets a call from Mrs. Scully, who fears for Dana's safety. Following her instructions, he tracks his partner to a cabin in the mountains where he finds that she does indeed need his help. Memories of her time away have come back with a vengeance. (Sequel: The Calm After The Storm)

Dark Water by Suzanne Schramm Prehistoric insects. Mothmen. Now it’s a publicity-shy tribe of murderers. Just another nice trip to the forest with Mulder.

Falling Snow by Snark Mulder, Scully and a mysterious woman from Mulder's past crash in the snowy landscape of the Colorado winter.

Frozen by @dashakay The end of a case, and a stay in a log cabin during a blizzard, lead Scully to take the biggest risk of her life.

Last Chance Falls by @slippinmickeys A man. A women. A forest. A hit squad. An adventure.

Myth and murder combine in a remote Scottish village, and Mulder and Scully investigate. The Fairy Queen is out to revenge the loss of her most prized knight, Tam Lin. Mulder believes but Scully’s not so sure, until Mulder takes a walk in the woods.

Tempest by Missy Pennington Mulder and Scully survive a plane crash to find themselves injured and stranded in the Appalachian wilderness. (Sequels: Distance, Wild Places, and Escape Me Never)

Untitled by @o6666666 Prompt: Mulder takes Scully camping and they make love for the second time ever under the stars.

Waiting in Motion by mountainphile After leaving the hot spring (in "Miraculous Manifestation"), Scully and Mulder take an unexpected detour on the way home. Dark secrets emerge when they seek shelter in a raging storm...and an intriguing X-file rears its head... (Sequel: Signs of Life)

Now, in a desperate attempt to stave off the inevitable, Mulder has disappeared, and Scully’s only chance of finding him include an unlikely ally and an untrustworthy informant. As they make their way through the woods, can Mulder and Scully find each other, or is the future lost?

i am - obviously - on the record as not a hinny girly, but whinlatter is one of the few people able to convince me of the pairing. this is because she’s a beautiful writer, but it’s mainly - and i think this is incredibly important - because she writes the stars of the show as actually funny. there seems to be a real tendency in "how is the world rebuilt after the war?" fics to make everything unstoppably angsty, with lots of therapy-speak processing of trauma. and that never hits for me, largely because it’s not something i can picture harry "what’s a coping mechanism?" potter and friends being willing to do.

beasts instead gets the vibe completely right - teenagers without all the answers muddling through as best as they can, which always seems to result in them choosing the stupidest [and funniest] option. harry is both self-isolating and self-righteous, hermione is brittle and very loyal, ron is the only one with any emotional stability, mcgonagall has had enough, and ginny is - to quote the author herself - written like scrappy do.

which isn’t to say that this fic isn’t angsty - it is, at heart, an exploration both of how ginny deals with being back at hogwarts in 1998-99 when the castle is filled with memories she’d rather not have to think about every day, and of how the end of voldemort doesn’t magically mean an end to the astonishing corruption in wizarding society. 

it also has an acceptable amount of hits if you control + f "riddle". so there’s that.

💌 a fic that inspired you to create something for it

this is cheating, because it’s not a specific fic, but @broomsticks [who you will know as leftsidedown on ao3] inspires me a great deal. she is absolutely committed to multi-shipping [and especially to femslash multishipping] in a way which is really quite rare now, as well as to exploring the full spectrum - from fluff to filth to filthy fluff - we can write our characters into. plus, she’s a fandom history encyclopedia, and one of the few people on earth apparently willing to do statistical analysis of harry potter fanfiction for fun. she also gives great prompts, which have led to two of my favourite pieces of my own work: enchanter’s nightshade and the three sisters.

and three pieces of hers you should try: the best of us | in another life | for everything a season
