#mulder and scully are swifties

[stephy-gold]

Fic Ideas (some im working on and others are just things that came to mind and I write just to revisit them some day)

Agents Miller, Einstein, Mulder and Scully go undercover as a family in a cult 

agents Miller and Einstein / others, are the new generation leading the x files

Mulder discover TikTok 

Agent William Mulder is paired with a short temper and reckless Agent Astrid Vega; scully and mulder doesn’t like Astrid because she put Will in danger but he trusts her with his life. 

The colonization happened; mulder and scully fought and then stay behind as leaders to plan strategies; 17 years old William found them and take the lead, they didn't like the idea. 

Domestic MSR. They gave 3 kids, Emily 25, William 18 and Sophie 15. 

Domestic MSR. Mulder and scully deal with the most difficult thing they ever encounter their own strong will, very intelligent and reckless teenagers (Emily, William and Sophie). They never saw that coming. 

Mulder took scully to a lana del rey concert because he thinks she is a witch. (It’s a dump idea. Disclaimer I love lana) 

William took his girlfriend to Taylor Swift Eras tour. Scully discover Taylor swift music.

AU Time travel. Grown Emily visit her parents before william was given, to stop her mother. 

Baby #3 (revival baby) learn to drive 

Mulder take scully dancing for her 60th birthday 

Will is a professional baseball player 

Senior agents mulder and scully go undercover they get kidnapped and younger agents are sent to save them. Generations battle between the agents

Case fic. They come to san Diego for some sightings of what happens to be an apparition (la llorona) of some sort that kidnaps children from Mexican backgrounds 

Uncle Skinner likes to give mulder and scully kids a free pass whenever they come asking for help

AU melissa didn’t die so when scully is about to put william for adoption she change her mind and sends him with her sister instead. 

Mulder wants to do a sappy TikTok with scully 

MSR now live a very normal, boring American middle class life much to mulder dismay. 

mulder discovers Reggaeton (bad bunny, arcangel, something like that) scully isn't a big fan when they look for the lyrics translation

feel free to use them if you like :)

[jodians]

if taylor swift were to exist in the x files universe, i think scully would be a red/folklore/evermore/tortured poets department type of lady while mulder is the type of guy to kick the door down with shake it off blasting on full volume

[nerdygirlobsessions]

Me to my sister: I made this Mulder Scully edit to ‘I Know Places’ for you!

My sister who isn’t a Swiftie: are you sure it wasn’t for yourself?

[fringephile]

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals and followers :)

Thanks for the ask!

1. My Family and my two daughters are everything to me. Spending time with my immediate and extended family is what makes me happiest, no matter what we are doing.

2. I am an avid reader and have a tower of psychological thrillers waiting for me to devour, but am currently waaay down in the rabbit hole of XF fic that I can't even see the light.

3. The beach and listening to the waves crashing on the sand is so peaceful to me. The beach is my happy place - I could watch/listen forever. Being on the beach with a book and my girls, that's the very best thing!!

4. Music and going to concerts (though my fav Elton John has retired). I listen to a variety of music and a lot of country. My kids and I are SWIFTIES and it's my dream to get them to a concert.

5. Clearly watching X-Files and Mulder & Scully make me a totally normal amount of happy, most especially the truth kiss. I've been an xphile since the early 90s/a majority of my life.

twenty questions for writers

thanks sm @swifty-fox for the tag!! i love things like this.

tagging @magneticghouls and @onyxsboxes and literally anyone who fancies it

how many works do you have on ao3?

33!

what's your total ao3 word count?

155,902

what fandoms do you write for?

whatever tf the current fixation is. i've written for rooster teeth, our flag means death, buzzfeed unsolved, masters of the air, the eternals, and challengers! currently got a slow horses fic in the works :))

top five fics by kudos

i like the way your words taste - a fluffy druig/makkari oneshot with 860

wild things - a western gale cleven/john egan au with 849

the art of consumption - a smutty art/patrick fic with 780

make you feel alive - another gale cleven/john egan oneshot with 633

hitchhikers - a serial killer ryan begara/shane madej au with 485 (the first multichapter fic i wrote that got me an audience it was wild)

do you respond to comments?

ofc! i try and respond to every single one with at least a thank you

what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

a fic called stay with me, which ended in MCD.

what is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

i end most of my fics happily!

i think the happiest is probably wild things. everything works out for the better in that one

do you get hate on fics?

i dont! very grateful that everyones always so nice, makes me feel like the are you winning son meme

do you write smut?

i used to never write smut but something this year just had me writing so much of it and whilst it feels mostly awkward to write, people seem to like it!

craziest crossover?

i've never written any kind of crossover, and i don't like to read them either. i guess MOTA in the western genre is the closest i'll come.

have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of!

have you ever had a fic translated?

nope!

have you ever co-written a fic before?

also nope!

all time favorite ship?

ive been in fandoms since i was like 12, there's no way i can pick an all time favourite. it literally just depends on what im into at the time.

i really like inej/kaz from six of crows. i think scully/mulder is great. hannibal/will. ellie/dina. willem/jude.

off the top of my head i would say i'm most fond of the tenth doctor/rose. that one gets me.

what's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

i'm really starting to doubt my ability to finish seven miles out of freedom town. im gonna try my best but the hyperfixation has moved on and it feels more like a chore than something im enjoying rn. im really sorry to anyone that disappoints, it disappoints me too, cos wild things was genuinely some of the most fun i've ever had writing fic and interacting with a community. i'll try and get it finished, it might just take me a while.

what are your writing strengths?

i think im pretty good at dialogue, making it sound like something a real person would say.

i think im fairly decent at dramatic writing, at making things sound flowery and poetic and theatric. thats my favourite way to write.

dont think im too bad at characterisation most of the time.

what are your writing weaknesses?

i suck at worldbuilding. i think its boring and i dont care for it, i just want to write about the characters. planning bores me. i just write things and go back and fix inconsistencies later.

wild things is the most effort i've ever put into a world. i was googling locations like a mofo to make things accurate.

thoughts on dialogue in another language?

i think its great! one of my favourite fics has a character that speaks french and he uses it to tease other characters who don't know what he's saying. its done so beautifully.

first fandom you wrote in?

if we're talking actual first fandom it was probably one direction or creepy pasta when i was like 13.

the first fandom i ever wrote for seriously was buzzfeed unsolved in 2018.

favorite fic you've written?

im very proud of washed clean, an angsty oneshot about gale/john. i really like the writing in that one.

i dont think i can pick a favourite, i have like three. hitchhikers and the axeman of new orleans were my starting points and really showed me the joy of writing fic that other people were going to read. i had a lot of fun writing those and i love me some dark themes.

wild things consumed my every thought for like, the 11 days i was writing it. ive never been so obsessed with one of my own fics before, it still blows me away how well it was recieved and i met some great people through it so im eternally grateful for that.

yeehaw, y'all.

[anxiouslytrekking]

If this already exists, I love it but I'm begging if you're a Swifty and love the x files and can edit videos, can u pls make a video to Dear Reader for Mulder and Scully 🥺

[pixiedustandbluebutterflies]

Finally getting around to this, @darkshrimpemotions!!! How dare you make me think about these songs objectively. And also force myself out of my current hyperfixation on blackbonnet. Both of which are probably good for my mental health.

I gotta say, this was one of those moments where I forgot every piece of media i've ever consumed when put on the spot about it. But, alas, I have completed it! Some of the associations surprised me, in a good way! And I feel like i'm getting a good grade in fandom and swiftie, both things that are normal to want and possible to achieve.

Here they are, my fandom associations for every track on Taylor Swift's Speak Now (Taylor's Version).

Mine - Ivy and Nina from the Rachel Morgan Series.

Sparks Fly - Charlie and Nick from Heartstopper

Back to December - Sookie and Bill from True Blood

Speak Now - Ariel x Eric, the little mermaid. Take your pick between live action or animated, it fits either way.

Dear John - Wendy & Danny at John Torrance from The Shining (Novel)

Mean - Arya Stark OR Dany Targaryen before they really come into their own

The Story of Us - Deena and Sam from Fear Street (specifically the first half of 1994)

Never Grow Up - Sarah Manning's hopes for her daughter, Kira, from Orphan Black

Enchanted - Evie and Rick from The Mummy (1999)

Better Than Revenge - Edmond Dantes from Count of Monte Cristo.

Innocent - This has always been a Dean song, bestie, you were on point with this one. No Notes.

Haunted - Buffy and Angel. Listen, I KNOW they couldn't be together. And I KNOW that THEY know that. But like don't tell me this isn't how Buffy felt when Angel left originally.

Last Kiss - I know this song is about a break up but it's always been more about a death to me. Like... Your partner dies and you stay friends with their family and friends just to feel like they're still there. IDK. So yeah this is about Meredith and Derek from Grey's Anatomy.

Long Live - Is it weird that my brain was like "Jurassic Park, this song is obviously about Alan, Ellie, and Malcom surviving Jurassic Park and the subsequent sequels." So yea...there you go. Jurassic Park apparently.

Ours - Mulder and Scully MSR 5EVER

Superman - So obvs this song is supposed to be romantic, but I've always felt more like its about a daughter watching her dad and looking up to him. So It's about Barbara Gordon, daughter of Jim Gordon. .

Electric Touch - Rachel and Trent from the Rachel Morgan Series.

When Emma Falls In Love - Jupiter and Caine from Jupiter Ascending.

I Can See You - Destiel. Its all about the YEARNING and desperation.

Castles Crumbling - Blackbeard after the beach during his grief phase before he and Stede will be (obviously) reunited in S2.

Foolish One - Does Laguna Beach count? I'm saying yes. This is Lauren Conrad RE: Stephen.

Timeless - Doctor and Rose Tyler. Of course they actually ARE the couple in each photograph throughout time because, yea. But still.

I'm tagging: @vr-trakowski @gothgleek @panalegs27 @mulderscully @wolfie-winchester @lynchemon @steadfastpotato @sophisticatedswifts and anyone else who wants to partake!

Sorry if you're not a swiftie :)

Speak Now TV Fandom Associations

I would not survive if I tried to talk about my real life associationd with every song on Speak Now (Taylor's Version), but I thought it'd be fun to get a little tag game going with fandom associations. So! Here are my fandom associations for each song. And at the end I'll tag some folks to do this too (only if you feel like it, no pressure!).

Mine - Brittana 🥺

Sparks Fly - Destiel, 100%. Their meeting, obviously, but every time they show up for each other.

Back to December - I have no justification for this but it's Bella about Jacob, especially when she's a thousand years into her horrorfail marriage with the dusty glitterbag watching Jacob follow her daughter around and knowing he didn't want this.

Speak Now - April and Jackson from Grey's 🫣

Dear John - Dean about John, maybe also Mary when she finds out what John became (she was 19 when they met 😭)

Mean - This is Kurt Hummel's song to all his bullies for me

The Story of Us - Silverhardt 💔

Never Grow Up - Dean 🥺

Enchanted - Klaus about Caroline

Better Than Revenge - Katherine Petrova. I'm not saying she's right, I'm just saying this is how she sees Elena and Stefan

Innocent - Dean again 🥺 (seriously half this album is on my Dean playlist, you know that man is a Speak Now girlie)

Haunted - I want this to be about anything else, but it's that fucking sex scene from True Blood

Last Kiss - Bughead's breakup

Long Live - Quentin, Eliot, Margo, Alice, Josh, Fen, and Julia. With heavy emphasis on the Queliot vibes.

Ours - Bughead during the good times, especially season 2 🥹

Superman - Juliette Silverton watching Nick drift farther and farther from her as he becomes more focused on being a Grimm (especially in season 1 when he's lying to her about it)

Electric Touch - Ethan Waite and Lena Duchannes (rhymes with rain)

When Emma Falls In Love - IT'S EMMA SWAN 😭 and all the bad boys who tried to be good for her

I Can See You - Haylijah but also somehow Klaroline?

Castles Crumbling - Dany when everyone began turning on her in season 8, but also Rhaenyra as she becomes more angry and paranoid throughout the Dance

Foolish One - Caroline with Matt, Tyler, and Stefan

Timeless - Malex and their incredible love story that transcends time and space

Fight the Loneliness

here’s a little something ive been wanting to write. No beta. That scene in FTF was just had so much potential.

Title: Fight the loneliness

Rating: NC 17

Spoilers: Fight the Future AU

Summary: The scene when Mulder shows up at Scully’s apartment at 3am...smut ending

Tags: smut, nsfw, MSR, fingering

Scully’s Apartment

3am 

She opens her door and takes a deep breath when she sees the state of him.

“I woke you. Did I wake you?” Mulder pushes past her as she hangs her head.

“No,” she half smiles at the floor, standing there in her satin white pajamas. 

“Why not, it’s three in the morning?”

“Are you drunk, Mulder?” she stares at him with wide blue eyes. He reeks of alcohol but still looks incredible in his day old suit and tie. 

“I...I...was until about twenty minutes ago, yeah.” He lies. He turns and wobbles a bit, sitting on the armrest of her sofa, hoping she does not notice his lack of gross motor skills. She does. Of course she notices. 

“Mulder,” she approaches, one finger extended up to his face. “Follow my finger.” 

He doesn’t even try. He knows. She knows. “Why did you come here?” Scully asks, running one hand through the right side of his hair then down to his shoulder to peel off his jacket. 

“I...I...didn’t want to be alone.”

“Well. Alright then,” Scully nods and bites her lip. She is hesitant, this situation is entering a gray area and shes not sure how to navigate. Scully stares at him for a minute, waiting for him to say something, do something...nothing...he just stares at the floor. He’s about to pass out. 

“C’mon,” she huffs, pulling his one arm over her shoulders and gently guiding him to stand and walk into her bedroom. She decides it might be better for him to sleep in her bed so she could keep an eye on him. She honestly didn't think anything of it. Boy was she wrong. 

Mulder kicks off his shoes, unabashedly begins unzipping his pants as Scully gulps and turns away. He strips to his t shirt and boxers, his clothing piled in a heap at his feet. He crawls into her bed, snuggling right up into the pillows not really looking back at her. She wonders if he even sees her. She flips out the light and crawls into bed, laying on her side with her back to him.

Scully hears heavy breathing, hot air in puffs along the small hairs on her neck. It tickles. It’s distracting. But...Good, he’s asleep, she thinks. And then she feels it. Mulder’s hand slides under her pajama bottoms, over her underwear.

“Mulder...what are you…” and her question falls short as soon as his fingertip gracefully rubs over her clit through her underwear. Her voice is stolen by shock, by how good it feels. How it’s been so long since anyone has touched her this way. She feels her sex swell with heat and he keeps rubbing his long finger up and down her slit.Her body reacts swifty and gushes wetness soaking her panties. I have got to stop this. 

“Mulder,” her cry is panicky. He nuzzles into her ear, not seeming to notice her distress.

“Please, let me do this,” he begs her, slipping one finger under the edge of her underwear to find her sopping wet heat. He groans, pressing his body into her backside. The weight of him beginning to send her reeling.

Scully’s heart clenches in her chest. She was terribly afraid she was going to come with one more swipe of his finger. She grabs his hand, stops it, pulls it out of her clothing.

“No Mulder, this is wrong,” she inhales, closing her eyes and holding his hand still around her stomach. 

“Then why does it feel so right?” he whispers. 

“Because...we’re lonely,” she barely finishes speaking when shes tearing out of the bed headed for the bathroom.  

Scully looks at her reflection in the mirror. With flushed pink cheeks she watches a single tear trickle down her cheek. I want him so much. She quietly cries, then blows her nose with a tissue. She grabs another tissue, wiping away her desire for him from between her legs. 

She exits the bathroom and sits in a comfortable chair in her bedroom, staring at him in the moonlight. He is sleeping, peacefully sprawled out on his back, with his long legs extending for days. He’s a sleep. Good. Maybe I’ll just stay over here. I didn’t expect this. Will he even remember it in the morning? Oh God. What if he does? What if he doesn’t? What am I going to do?  

[electrificata]

Theres an episode where one of their contacts is a hardcore conspiratorial swiftie and mulder immediately gets sucked in.

"You know Scully, PR relationships have been a staple of the entertainment industry for decades. Think about Rock Hudson."

One if my favorite things abt reading scripts is the short parenthetical descriptions of each character. In the x-files pilot they describe mulder like this "with his boyish good looks, mulder doesn't look fbi; more like an mtv vj." Can only conclude that if we updated the x-files for 2023 that would have to read "he doesn't look fbi; more like a guy with 50k likes on his tiktok thirst traps."

Taylor swift and MSR a chance encounter

Five years, almost 6, ago their lives took a big turn and now in 2024 the unremarkable house is filled with memorabilia of a curious and inquisitive little girl, ice blue piercing eyes, cute nose and freckles, slightly curly strawberry blonde locks of hair, the apple of the eye of her father. Lily is the perfect blend of her parents, sporty and curious as Mulder and the need of know the reason for everything through experiment, learning by doing says Scully, and her little cute stare from Scully.

If someone had told Scully that at her 62 years old of life, she will be raising an adventurous and smart little girl, her and Mulder little girl. And much less that said girl will be obsessed with this blonde singer that Mulder never heard of it in his life, Scully did know little about her and truly stands for a feminist making her way in a man dominated industry as music at such a young age, so here she and Mulder are in a concert of Taylor Swift, heaven knows how her little Lily knows almost 4 hours of songs and sing them with all her little lungs have. Scully favorite song is The Man because well she lived that. Mulder likes Lover and always tease Scully that this is their new song and Lily love it completely.

Few months back when Taylor announced the dates for her Eras Tour Lily make him know she wanted to go, she kept singing the young woman song’s endlessly with the tune that she took from her mother, Mulder tried as crazy to get tickets for his little girl but everything was sold out and it was crazy, he and scully talked about the phenomena this Girl is, Scully compared her to the beetles back in the sixties or Stevie Knicks in the 70’s, and Mulder couldn’t disagree with that; Taylor Swift was named the most influential person in the country and with reason. Truthfully he can relate some songs to his and scully love story since their partnership, and others remind him of some exes.

When the new album of Taylor was announced and new dates to the tour added Mulder promised Scully that he will do anything to take Lily to see her and since this is a special occasion, because his little girl deserves it, he didn’t stop to think about the money he would spent so that’s how they ended here in Paris, he convinced Scully with the promise of taking her to a romantic tour around the city, so with Scully please and Lily happy to see her idol they all arrived.

Scully was a fan too but she wouldn’t call herself a swiftie but truth be told Lily had her and Mulder hearing 24/7 to Taylor so they know the songs by now.

Mulder likes to theorize that the effect of this is worth a X File investigation and Scully rebut his theory with the fact that this Girl writes brilliantly, she’s relatable speaking of feelings and emotions; she’s also a genius of entertainment, knows her fans and gives them what they want and more, she doesn’t disappoint. Lily likes to argue with Dad about his lack of sense about music and she finds it funny that he struggles with Spotify, the five year old manage it really well much to the dismay of her parents.

Since they arrived three hours earlier because he will be dammed if they are late to the concert, Scully made a cute outfit for Lily full of rhinestones and colorful, Lily wanted to be dressed as Midnights Era because she loves stars and planets and aliens, though she doesn’t understand much of the songs but she love the music.

Mulder help Lily back home making friendship bracelets to giveaway, she likes to see people happy, they make cute ones with space themed and obviously about the songs and the albums, the little girl read well for her age but Mulder still has to help her spell to form the bracelets.

At the line Scully buys merch for lily and herself, she bought a red cowboy hat full of sparkling glitter; Lily is so excited she can’t stopped singing, dancing and making a show, she’s adorable. Aside from a couple of people confused Lily as their granddaughter instead of their daughter but they are used to it by now, it’s no secret that Mulder is 65 and Scully 62, but age is just a number.

Mulder got good tickets in the front area, Scully is trying her best to not look at their bank account but is getting more difficult.

Lily is having the time of her life exchanging her cute bracelets and she said to her parents like this is Barbie land like in Barbie movie, everyone is nice and with amazing clothes and happy. Several girls older than Lily and young adults girls give her bracelets until her arms were full of them, she really couldn’t be happier, she is a very extrovert emotional little girl, she’s far from awkward like her old man.

The show starts and Mulder smiles at the sight of his Wife and their daughter singing with all their lungs a song called Cruel Summer, he believes is from the lover Era (one of Lily favorite but it didn’t have stars like midnight so she didn’t want her costume of that Album)

When the Red Era started Lily got excited because she knows Taylor always gives away her hat and since they were upfront she really really really wanted her hat so Mulder put her in his shoulders and the little girl screamed her lungs out singing the song and she got spotted by Taylor so the Idol make the little girl almost faint when she put the hat on her little head the hat too big, Lily said thank you and cry.

Mulder personally likes more Reputation and Scully Folklore and TTPD.

The surprise came when at the last Era or Album he really doesn’t know the difference if there’s any, a big space ship appeared on the screen making the illusion of Taylor being abducted by aliens something that he nor Scully expected at all, Lily has heard tales of the time of her parents work as FBI Agents and Mulder make sure she believes in creatures and folklore thought Scully always reminds her that she needs proves to say something is real.

At this point Lily start crying because she thinks taylor is been taken by bad aliens so Scully lift her and start explaining that is okay is just a show and the spaceship is a picture, mommy explains that is an illusion and illusions are used to create experiences and a vibe, Lily calmed down eventually and keep singing. Scully threw Mulder a look for getting ideas in Lily’s mind that could upset her like right now.

The concert Ended with both parents exhausted but with a happy girl, Mulder was carrying Lily because as soon as the concert ended she started yawning finally falling asleep in her daddy embraced, Scully was carrying the bag of what they bought and what lily exchanged, the hat that taylor gave her was still in the girl head.
