X-Files Collector's Edition: It's a Funny, Funny World in MSR Land

Not all is doom and gloom for Mulder and Scully; in fact, things can get downright knee-slapping. Scully catching Mulder in all his quirks (in his office on holiday, Bigfoot compilation tapes, and cranberry bog spiders) and Mulder seeing Scully unguarded (loopy or caught out on eating all the office chocolates) are fics worth reading.

Loose chronological order below~

@mldrgrl's  (Ao3) Wise Up

""Scully opened her eyes and stared blankly at the woman standing above her.  She sat up slowly with the nurse’s help and then Mulder crouched down and put a hand on her knee.  Her right cheek was puffed up, full of cotton swabs that poked out of the corner of his mouth. The size of her pupils caught him off guard, so dilated her eyes almost looked black.

“Muller,” Scully murmured.  “My mowf ish mishing.”

“Your mouth is missing?""

Set sometime after the Skinman name drop and the Lazarus Bowl movie disaster, Mulder takes care of a loopy Scully after her wisdom tooth removal surgery-- many hilarious moments are had, including "who's Queequeg?", prodding her mouth constantly, and Mulder trying to just get Scully to bed.

Jamie Greco's Truth or Dare

""...Now, who goes first?"

"I do."

"Why?"

"Beauty before age."

"Ouch.""

Scully is a taskmaster to Mulder during their Truth or Dare game while on a stakeout.

Juliettt's Verdict

""She swivelled in her chair to meet Mulder's eyes. He gazed at her for a moment and then lifted his eyebrows and nodded slightly. She flashed him a smile and turned back to the agent standing hopefully in the hallway.

"Okay, Halle. Come on in."

A wide grin broke over the agent's face and he swung the door open.

The next few moments were a flurry of activity as men and women dressed in suits poured into the room and took up positions around the small television set up on the light table.""

Agents from the upper floors swarm the basement to catch the OJ Simpson trial verdict. Even Skinner joins.

Dawn/sunrise83 (Ao3, Gossamer) Trivia Pursuits (Ao3)

""You know? Mulder, this has been missing for two years. It's the best one I've ever had; I turned my apartment upside down looking for it. The one I replaced it with cost twice as much and works half as well."

"Sorry, Scully. I intended to give it back, but I kept forgetting."

"What were you doing with it in the first place?"

"Remember when I broke my arm falling from that fire escape?""

Mulder is bored on a stakeout and Truths or Dares (without the Dare) Scully into confessing an embarrassing Skinner dream. But she gets extra delight from finding out he'd been beaten up by Winnie the Pooh. Much sad and sappy anecdotes are shared as well.

Pattie's

President's Day Ambush

""The best thing about this day in the office was that Scully wouldn't be shaking her head wondering why he was going through all those "outrageous claims and delusional, hysterical people mesmerized by science fiction." He thought after all these years and everything she had seen even under the microscope she would stop the remarks. Especially her "concern" that he was obsessed with "things that could easily be explained possibly by science, and if not in the present, some day when science became even more advanced." Finally, some time to be there and do what he had missed doing these past few months. Sometimes, he even did this on Saturdays.""

Scully drags Mulder out of the office, refusing to let himself sniggle out of his mandated holiday.

Mulder's Penance

""I have been regressed by a controversial therapist, bound and gagged, subjected to horrible experiments in Tunguska, taken to the far corners of the Earth and even slugged by someone who looked amazingly like my partner during a wild ride in the Bermuda Triangle, transported to the past.

Why is it that right now, as I shampoo the carpet of my car for the twentieth time, I feel I am truly in Hell itself?""

Mulder forgot to escort Scully to a wedding, and so gets obligated to a kid's birthday party instead. Much food poisoning and misery has both of them running for the hills.

Vice Verses 01

""Let's see how many vices I have. And since I have nothing else to do since Scully is visiting her brother and sister-in-law, and nothing new has crossed my desk, I may as well take stock. I'm sure Scully has taken them all into account and memorized them in that beautifully packaged brain of hers anyway. I'd better get this down on paper. Just to see what I can dig up. Might come in handy for my New Year's Resolutions.""

Mulder decides to write his quirks down. This will not end well.

Vice Verses Encountered

""Maybe she won't find it. She has the file. Good. She shoves the file drawer closed and she's turning to walk toward me with that case file. She's on her way and... Something just fell out of that folder, and I recognize it. I stand and begin to walk over to her... "I'll get that, Scully!" She can't see it. She can't. I have my pride.

"Relax. I'll get it. If you've got a headache, you sure don't need to bend down and make it worse." She's smiling and I am now dreading her reading that piece of paper.""

Scully tortures Mulder over his list for a bit until he threatens her with the dirt he has on her.

Skinner Meets Vice Verses

""Well, this was just too good to pass up, and the occasion called for a sit down. So, Skinner read away sitting in Mulder's chair.

"Good thing I don't answer to that cigarette smoking buzzard," he thought. "Mulder actually admitting his vices? Sure MUST have been a slow day."

As he read the heading, he started to chuckle.""

A bored Skinman and an incriminating list by Mulder are two combinations that poor old Spooky could only hope was a nightmare.

CSM Reads Vice Verses

""At this time of night, no one would be here. Besides, he knew that Fox Mulder and Dana Scully were both at home. It was time to see what the dear boy and his partner had been up to lately, without Skinner's help this time. That would prove somewhat harmful to Skinner later, but then it was business as usual for the Cigarette Smoking Man, as he had become known to Mulder and Scully.

He had no problem unlocking the office door. Again, "Access". The desk had actually been dusted! "Don't tell me you're getting domestic on me, boy. Maybe the cleaning staff took the opportunity since your desk is clear." Usually, there were files, pencils, 'post-it' notes and sunflower seed shells scattered over the top of the desk.""

The ultimate indignity, even if CSM won't do anything with Mulder's professions of inadequacies.

The Day Mulder Put Bill in His Place

""Boys? Are you being good?" I shouted, trying so hard not to giggle and wet myself.

"Yeah!" they shouted in unison.

Mulder added, "Just giving your brother a history lesson."

"Creative history!" Bill called back.""

AU-- Mulder and Scully have a family, the support of the FBI, and friends for Thanksgiving... and that, of course, isn't enough for big brother Bill. All ends swimmingly between the two guys.

veryygirlfriendfoxmulder/sohmer's Unnamed Florida Man fic (Alt.)

""Mulder shakes his head, snorting. “You mean to tell me that there are multiple men in Florida performing the same bizarre crimes? That the man who tried to rob the brother’s CVS with a water nozzle is a different person from the one who killed their husband with a squirrel?""

Mulder in convinced in the entity that is Florida Man. Scully remains unconvinced and incredulous.

@spookyscullies's (WBM) Scully finds one of Mulder's "tapes"

""The way his eyes had twinkled and the quick spread of his grin when she mentioned the loss of her keys made her suspicious.

His closing statement on the subject was “it’s our next X File, Scully”, to which she replied only with a playful glare. 

Nevertheless, here she was, fifteen minutes later, absolutely clueless to where her keys may have gone. Another realm? Maybe in Mulder’s world, but scientifically impossible in her own. They had to be here somewhere, but where?""

Mulder's tapes are more egregious than Scully thought-- it's a Bigfoot dance video.

Cornerofmadness's Just Another Night in a Cemetery

""I’m not digging up a grave, Mulder,” she protested. “And what does this have to do with disappearing pigs?”

“They can project their spirit self as a pig to drain others until they have managed the entire self-cannibalism.” He dug a river rock the size of her fist out of his pocket and handed it to her. “Here. I’ll dig. You keep the light on the grave.”

He made it sound so easy but it wasn’t of course. It took him well over an hour of back-breaking work to move the soft earth off the vault only there wasn’t one. Whoever this was had opted for a more green burial, just a coffin in earth and that meant no embalming. By now she should be able to smell the person but she couldn’t. The sounds of chewing had stopped but that only made her more nervous.""

Scully is, once again, surprised that Mulder deduced that magical pigs are a sign of a German, shroud-eating vampire. He gives her the honor or stuffing a rock in its mouth.

The Meet Up

""Do you know why Mulder called us here?” Frohike asked as he and the rest of the Lone Gunmen caught up with Dana in the hallway to Mulder’s apartment.

“Alien invasion?” Langly’s eyes glinted. “Wendigos in Central Park? The Green-clawed beast in Evansville?”

“It could be the Grassman in Gallipolis,” Frohike added.

Dana didn’t know how they kept all that nonsense in their heads or more importantly why. She guessed it was like medical school and memorizing all the muscles of the body. Only it was a lot more useless than knowing the origin and insertions of the sternocleidomastoid. Mulder and the Gunmen would argue that point.

“I’m more interested in why we had to pick up a bucket of hot wings and Doritos.” Beyers hefted a grocery bag.""

Scully and TLG are invited impromptu-style to Mulder's for breadsticks and football. They all shrug and join good-naturedly.

@starbuck09256's (Ao3) Trick or treat?

""Mulder steps beside me and his glowing flashlight shines into a distant hallway that he surely doesn’t intend for us to go down. But then he grins that grin, the one that turns my rational and reasonable senses to mush and causes me to follow him into the darkness and search out its’ secrets. 

“Mulder, this doesn’t look structurally sound, at all” but his back is facing me and he turns and makes that face the one that dares me to back down and I can’t I can’t not go after him, not follow him.""

Scully is both amused and very NOT amused by Mulder's hijinks in a faux haunted house. Both are horrified that the rat was real.

syn's Halloween Confection (Gossamer)

""Yes, I do have a confession, Mulder," said Scully, logging off her computer and looking up.

Mulder crossed his arms over his chest with a smirk. "I'll bet you do."

"I confess that last night I made an amazing discovery."

"What? That Special Dark isn't as bad as you remembered it to be?"

"No, Mulder. Last night, as I worked late in the office, I discovered that aliens *do* exist," she said calmly.

Mulder blinked. "Excuse me?""

The missing chocolate is definitely not Scully's fault; in fact, she was witness to little outer space creatures fly in under her nose and steal them. Mulder listens to her proclaim her innocence with increasing amusement.

Ten's (Gossamer) Scully Gets Fed Up With Being the Ditch Witch

""Well?"

"Well..." He shrugged, turning off the heater, pulling his suit jacket and trenchcoat back on as she began angrily zinging it back and forth on the chain, "How do you feel about seeing what sort of meals they do here?"

Scully let go of her sign of faith. "Good idea." She came up beside him and took her other hand out of her pocket as he opened the door. Click!

"HEY!" Mulder jerked his arm away - well, as far as he could get. They were handcuffed together.

Her smile was triumphant, cat-like. "Not this time, Mulder.""

Sometime S3-4 Scully is NOT getting left behind by Mulder-- she straight up cuffs herself to him, forcing him to meet Marita with a plus one. She keeps them both interlocked through his mission; but, unfortunately for them both, she loses the key when the guns are pulled out to prevent the duo from breaking and entering a building. Skinner doesn't even want to know.

S3-4/INTP given tip by Marita/ISTJ cuffs herself to him to prevent ditch/break into building still cuffed/his badge caught bullet/ENTJ unamused to bail them from prison/ISTJ sneaked evidence into blouse/not ditching-- Gossamer | Story: "Scully Gets Fed Up With Being the Ditch Witch" by Ten 

myssbrokethefall's Unnamed Cranberry Bog Spiders

""She rolls her eyes, flicks a few more spiders off her, toddler-marches out of there after him with her dignity mostly intact, thanks the farmers for their time, takes their cranberry-jelly samples that they were given by the farmers who ... weren’t sure what the polite thing was, and lets Mulder explain emphatically to her in the car about how this lead is a dead end and it has NOTHING to do with the spiders, it’s just, he’s tired of being jerked around by these know-nothing sources, Scully, why do they want to keep the truth from him UGH WHAT IS IN MY HAIR oh it’s a leaf UGGHHH LET’S JUST GO STRAIGHT TO THE AIRPORT SCULLY, EVEN THOUGH OUR FLIGHT ISN’T TIL 7:30, I’VE HAD IT WITH THIS CASE."" 

Mulder NOPES out of a case involving cranberry bog spiders; and misses the bog monster while at the ren faire with Scully.

Ebonbird's

Cooking With Mulder 01 - Nuking With Mulder

""Cool, hunh?" Mulder said, proud of the look of disgust on her face.

"This is so, so---"

"Evocative of a fatter, less-culturally aware America?"

"Girly." Scully supplied, as she jumped down to the floor with an incriminating package in her hand. "What are you doing with five cartons of pink coconut covered marshmallow puffs in your cupboard?"

"Would you believe getting in touch with my feminine side?"

Scully snorted.""

Scully is horrified that Mulder thinks dessert is a microwaved Hostess dessert... but even more so that it tastes too delicious.

Cooking With Mulder 02 - Trifling Hero

""Whining a most masculine and understated whine, Mulder banged his heel against the coffee table edge until he shucked the remaining shoe off and away from him. Like its fellow, it fell to the rug with a dull thud (which was more like a sharp thwap, actually).

Mulder, content to wiggle all ten of his toes, sat there for several long moments, wiggling his toes.

As he sat, he realized that he could sit like that, wiggling and or wriggling his toes, for a very long time.""

Mulder wants Scully to admire his cool and casual couch slouch so much he invites her over. She brings ice cream to aid their culinary Poptarts.

Linda61's Buzz

""Walking towards Mulder's apartment, number 42, she suddenly heard a horrible, frightening scream. And that scream came from Mulder's apartment. Doors flew open, heads popped out, wondering what was going on. Some rude remarks were made by his long suffering neighbors.

"Oh no, not again", someone muttered, rolling their eyes. And then the doors slammed closed again.""

Scully races to Mulder's apartment after she hears his scream-- neighbors are highly unimpressed.

AUs

Ten's

A Chip Off the Old Fox

""I hurry for the door and undo the locks and open it to reveal that Mulder looks even worse in the flesh. "Hi," he manages quietly, shuffling past me, his head nearly slumped against his chest.

Langly is staring at his red-rimmed eyes and hair that is sticking out like the Statue of Liberty's crown. "...what happened - you get robbed? Or jumped by Scully as you headed out the front door, wanting a different kind of stick-up?"

Mulder stares at him vaguely, as if trying to place him, then a light goes on in his brain. "Danny's teething again."

"So you didn't get much sleep last night?" I ask.

"Tuesday," Mulder says with all seriousness. "I'm pretty sure I got ten minutes solid sleep on Tuesday. That was good."

Today's Friday.""

Mulder and Scully are new parents in the throes of their son's first round of teething. TLG greatly pity zombie Mulder during their guy game night; but are accidentally roped into sitter care after Scully drops the baby for an emergency.

The Joys of Boys

""THUD! THUMP! SLAM!

Of course, who needed an alarm clock with six boys in the house? And by the sound of things, they were all up and out of the game room and sitting room. In the kitchen... Which was right below the main bedroom.

He could only see the back of his wife's head, but he could hear her eyes snap open.""

Mulder is babysitting his rambunctious kids and nephews solo-- and gets injured because he's accident prone. Scully's panic dissipates when she's told that the boys are holding an unused diaper to his head as a "band aid."

Enjoy!

After all, one didn’t turn down IDRIS LLP off the hat, even if they weren’t really interested. Little did he know that New York offered much more than a job in a bigger company.

The weird pattern intrigued Alec’s boss, Deputy Garroway, and he had spent years trying to stop him, and he passed on his feelings to his team. Everyone wanted to be the one to catch him and everyone talked about him. No one told Alec the man was gorgeous, though. But he was and Alec was momentarily stunned when the thief looked over the shoulder and smirked at him. His gold and green eyes were all that Alec noticed.

Enter worried/protective Alec, BAMF Magnus, Malec fluff and some very light angst! the arrangement (completed) by heartsdesire456 summary:  When a meeting with a debt collector at a randomly chosen night club starts to go wrong, Alec meets a man who might just change his life with one unique offer. with just one breath, i'm locked in (completed) by  heartsdesire456 summary:  After the events of the wedding and the debacle with Camille and Jace going off with Valentine, Magnus was exhausted. The last thing he expected after finally getting to bed that night was for Alec, who he was pretty sure a few hours ago had made up his mind to back out of anything with Magnus, to show up at his door with a clear intention to do nothing of the sort. wild life (completed) by crazyellephant summary: Alec Lightwood likes to go on road trips. He doesn't pick up hitchhikers. But the one time he does, it's Magnus. He's in for an adventure or maybe even fall in love. "Can Alec help this Magnus out? like this is not safe to search for a car this way." - @Malecwings Malec AU. bonded (completed) by leetje summary: Soulbonded. In the four centuries that Magnus had been alive, he had heard and read the stories of mythical bonds between a Warlock and their soul’s fated mate; who more often than not was another Warlock. A Warlock and a Nephilim however, Magnus was fairly certain that had never happened before, there were no records of such a bond having ever existed. kiss with a fist (completed) by clockworkswan  summary: When agent Alec Lightwood is given his first kill hit, he doesn’t expect much trouble. Of course, he also doesn’t expect it to be a cheerful assassin who lands him in a whole load of trouble. Enter Magnus Bane: an assassin turned thief who reluctantly teams up with Alec - and The Clave - after he pisses off a very important and powerful crime boss, Valentine Morgenstern. In a world of violence and unjust laws, can the two put aside their differences and work together? Aka: in which Alec is sent to kill Magnus, doesn’t, and then really wishes he had. (but not really). Enemies to friends to lovers. destiny calls (wip) by clockworkswan  summary:  A Knights of the Round Table/quest inspired AU. When Prince Alec and his knights venture into the mysterious Shadowlands - home to downworlders, and fearsome creatures - to retrieve the Mortal Cup, they soon learn about an upcoming war. Dark magic has begun to call to creatures and mortals alike. A race to prevent the Cup from falling into the evil, exiled Lord Valentine's hands adds even more danger to the prince's quest. On the way, he finds himself falling for the warlock, Magnus Bane. There, they must battle demons, test their courage and maybe take on the most dangerous task of all; falling in love. Loyalties are tested and hearts are swayed, but who will destiny call to? day 3: au settings day (completed) by vulturemonem summary: Soulmate AU, in which whatever is on a person's skin can also be seen on the skin of their soulmate. Alec Lightwood has always been an artist. When he was a child, he'd draw all over his hands and arms. As an adult, if he runs out of paper, he crosses onto his arms. But the best things he writes on himself are the words he exchanges with a faceless, nameless stranger, who lives halfway across the world. His soulmate. Or: In which Alec has a soulmate, Jace is a good brother, and the world really seems to be out to make this whole thing difficult. the persistence of memory (wip) by everydayfandom summary: The first time Alec saw him it was an especially dark and gloomy day in New York. Friendship, family, love and loss. And overcoming the demons that haunt us (or at least trying). set me in motion (wip) by lemonoclefox summary:  “Is that your way of asking me to cook for you sometime?” Alec says. “Because I will.” The moment the words escape his mouth, Alec finds himself slightly panicking. Because he does not talk like that, ever―in a way that might even be considered flirting―and he still doesn’t understand what it is about Magnus that brings stuff like that out of him. More importantly, he has a boyfriend. Magnus, however, just looks mildly surprised as their eyes meet. “My, my. Master chef, good family name, and charming?” Magnus tilts his head ever so slightly. “Careful, Mr. Lightwood,” he says in a low, teasing voice, mouth curving up in a smile. “You’re gonna make me swoon.” --- One night, Magnus spots a handsome stranger in the elevator of his apartment building – which wouldn’t be a big deal if said stranger didn’t turn out to be dating Magnus’s neighbor. The stranger soon becomes Alec, and their paths end up crossing more than once. A tentative friendship develops as they slowly get to know each other, and they both find that it’s effortless in a way neither of them has ever known. When other kinds of feelings start getting involved, however, things quickly become a bit more complicated. take me to church (wip) by maleciseverything  summary:  Alec is the acting head of the Institute trying to deal with the new pressures this title brings. A string of Mundane murders and strange demonic markings leads him to seek help from the nearest High Warlock, Magnus Bane. Upon meeting him, Alec realizes that his secret is at risk of being revealed. He tries to keep his growing attraction for Magnus hidden as best as he can. With the support of his sister, Isabelle, who is trying to find love herself; they both try to discover if they can let their worries go and accept love with open arms. dead men tell no tales (completed) by lecrit  summary: Magnus looked up when Alec stopped in front of the rusty gate and quirked an eyebrow upon seeing him. “Your Highness,” he muttered, deadpan. “Don’t,” Alec sighed. “Aren’t you afraid to tarnish your royal blood by coming to visit a pirate?” Magnus continued, his lips twitching with the beginning of a smirk, lacking the humor Alec had witnessed so many times before. His mesmerizing eyes told a different story, though. They were defeated, tired and it only made Alec feel worse.“I tried to explain it to them but they wouldn’t listen,” he murmured in a desperate attempt at defending himself. .   In which the prince of Idris and an infamous pirate find themselves stuck together on a deserted island and have to face the consequences when they get back on land. the children of merlin (wip) by lercit summary: Magnus Bane has everything he could have hoped for: a job at Hogwarts, a chaotic made-up family that he loves more than anything and the freedom of doing what he wants whenever he wants. When his friends manage to drag him to a Quidditch game, he doesn’t expect it to change his life. For better or worse. They call themselves the Children of Merlin and they are going to make his life a living hell. magnus bane's school for young warlocks (wip) by insomiak summary: Alec had never dreamt he'd be a father by the age of 25, let alone the father of a Warlock. He's sure he can handle it alone, though. He doesn't need anyone and neither do his kids. (Or: Alec takes Max to Warlock School and finds himself falling fast for his teacher). morning sweat and lazy smiles (completed) by matslightwood  summary:  Magnus wakes up to a half empty bed. come closer (completed) by hazelnuts  summary:  parkwest asked: "oh, oh! alec/magnus + there's only one bed *le gasp* ?" ‘This can’t be right,’ Alec says, then backtracks and checks the number on the door again. Yep, it says 214. ‘What do you mean?’ the guy already in the room asks. He’s the brightest person Alec has ever seen. The guy’s brightly coloured things are spread all over the room. ‘This is supposed to be a double,’ Alec replies. He checks the number again, comparing it to the one printed on the paper he’s holding. Both still read 214. ‘It is.’ ‘There’s only one bed,’ Alec points out the obvious. if i tremble (wip) by rocketshiptospace summary: Alec is a man of duty, of honor, of following rules and obeying orders. Everything changes when he gets his new mission: protect Magnus Bane at all costs. Or, Alec is a Deputy U.S. Marshal. Magnus is the son of a corrupt business man. The witness protection program bring them together in unexpected ways. as the sun rises (completed) by thisissirius summary: “This should make it easier,” Magnus says, pressing his own Marked palm to Alec’s. Alec doesn’t know whether it’s his imagination, but he feels something then, a shudder down his back. Alec opens his mouth to say you can take whatever you want, but he can’t make his voice work. Magnus stares at him for a beat, and then leans in for another kiss. “You’ll have access to all of my magic.” morning's come, you watch the red sunrise (completed) by ohprongs  summary:  or the 'your house is being renovated so you're staying at mine and we aren't even dating but every time you get up to the baby crying and sigh, 'i'll go', i feel like we might as well be married' au ways to go (completed) by happilytaylor  summary: Alec looked up, his eyes filled with agony and met Magnus’ gaze. One word flitted through his mind: No. How dare they try and take his Shadowhunter away from him. How dare they stand there and smile as he was dying on the floor. How dare they even for one minute doubt that Magnus wouldn’t destroy all of them with the flick of his wrist. -Or: based on the tumblr post "someone please write a fanfic where alec gets hurt and magnus unleashes the full spectrum of his power and just decimates everyone in his path with the flick of a wrist" a quiet storm (completed) by lecrit  summary: Did Alec mention that he might be slightly, faintly, just a little bit in love with his obnoxious, glittery, overly friendly neighbor? Yeah, because he totally is and it is all kinds of ridiculous. Based on the tumblr prompt: "You locked yourself outside of your apartment and there’s a storm rolling in and I pity you so please come into my apartment I’ll make you hot chocolate?" step onto my balcony (completed) by lecrit  summary:  Alec did not smoke. He hated smoking. He hated everything about it, from the smell to the taste. Yet, there he was, at ten in the evening, buying cigarettes at the grocery shop down the road for the only purpose of having an excuse to hang on his balcony and talk to his very handsome and very taken neighbor. Alec felt really stupid right now. give it a go (completed) by rocketshiptospace summary: “You know what, Alexander,” Magnus says, studying their menu like he doesn’t already know it by heart, “You should really consider selling hotdogs.” Alec sends him a confused look. “What, why? Aren’t my burgers good enough for you?” Magnus looks up, “No, no, they are, it’s just,” he grins mischievously, “You really make my wiener stand.” or, Alec works in a food truck. Magnus knows an awful lot of food related pick-up lines.

This is an abstract one, so ignore it if nothing comes to you, but I'm curious if there's any fics you can recommend that have the vibe of the dancing sequence at the end of Post Modern Prometheus.

Like carefree, happy, totally in love but repressing it (or not), suave, smiley, that kind of thing. Not actually a tag to the episode itself.

I have innumerable fics that fit this vibe-- so innumerable, in fact, that this category had to be whittle down to dancing stories, then cut down further to only include Post Modern Prometheus scenes. (But don't worry, there'll be a Part II sometime soon~.)
