Recommendations for X-files Fics?

I've read a lot of the newer ones from Ao3, but I heard that the x-files fandom is a little special with sites predating Ao3 and fanfiction.com.

So what are the must read fics? What are your all time favourites, you know, the ones you've saved to re-read later. I'm a baby-phile what have I missed?

[unclewaynemunson]

As always, the crazy talented @tennant-the-tigger managed to activate my Munson family feels by creating this masterpiece so my hand slipped and this happened :)

When Eddie first moved into Wayne's trailer, he wouldn't smile. The boy reminded Wayne of a ghost: pale, quiet... absent. Haunted, even. The first time Wayne saw a genuine smile on his face felt like a goddamn victory. But it soon turned out to be only the beginning of the hardest part: it meant that Eddie started feeling comfortable around Wayne. And for all Eddie knew, comfort meant danger. So he started lashing out, testing Wayne's limits, taunting him day and night, strategically aiming to drive him to his breaking point, to prove that good people didn't exist, that Wayne would never love Eddie, that he would give up on him as soon as it became too much work.

And now they’re here. Wayne doesn't have a clue how they got here, how they’ve managed to make it this far together. But they did. And somewhere along that road, Eddie has decided to start trusting Wayne.

His hair is longer now, his smile has reached a whole new level of brightness; he’s growing up. Rapidly. He’s been getting himself into some shady business and Wayne doesn't feel like he’s in any position to reproach him, can only watch it happen from the sidelines. Maybe he worries too much, because those shady business have given the boy his Sweetheart and managed to amplify that beautiful bright smile of his. So Wayne got to swap a shift with Jimmy and now finds himself sitting at the bar of some shabby old cafe, hiding behind a bottle of beer with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth.

And seeing Eddie perform is... Well, it’s a lot. It definitely isn't the kind of music Wayne would voluntarily expose his ears to, if he had any say in the matter. But Eddie is smiling from ear to ear all through the night and that more than makes up for the noise. He has this natural kind of showmanship that Wayne can't help but admire: the band is giving the three drunks at the bar a performance like the Hideout is some concert hall filled to the brim with thousands of screaming fans.

'This one's for my uncle,' Eddie announces in between two songs, wiggling his eyebrows towards the place where Wayne is sitting. 'Thank you for coming, uncle Wayne, I love you.'

He says those words so easily, up on that stage with a lamp shining way too bright in his face. Like it comes natural to him. And Wayne can only hide his face behind his bottle, the air knocked out of his lungs by how effortless and genuine it sounds.

The band bursts out into more ear-shattering noise and just like that, the moment is over. But the feeling in Wayne's chest stays with him through the rest of the evening.

He thinks back to that one night, barely two months ago, when Eddie had been raging, calling him all kinds of names, challenging him in a way that somehow seemed more vicious than any of his previous antics.

'You tryin' to find an excuse to hate me, boy?' he had asked, exhausted and hurt but still trying to be the voice of reason because he knew that Eddie couldn't help it, not really.

And that made Eddie freeze for a moment, eyes wide, tears glistering in the trailer's flickering lamplight.

'You're the one who's gonna hate me,' Eddie told him, trying to sound defiant but failing horribly in his delivery; his voice was trembling and his lip started to wobble.

And God, Wayne can still feel how that all-encompassing fear flared up in his stomach, because what the hell could Eddie have done to believe that Wayne would ever hate him?

One deep breath had been all it took for Eddie to get back to his anger; to throw the words at Wayne's face that he'd kick Eddie out because he was a queer and wrong and bad and dirty and Wayne would hate that, would hate him.

Wayne had been stunned for a long second, completely overwhelmed by the power that Eddie was giving him by telling him that. He understood exactly the complicated mixture of self-sabotage and trust brewing inside of Eddie, because Wayne had grown up side-by-side with the cruel man who raised this scared boy in front of him.

Then, he had done something that did not come naturally to him at all: he stepped forward, wrapped his arms around him, and held his nephew even though he tried to wriggle himself free; held him when he allowed himself to melt into Wayne's arms; held him while he cried against his shoulder; held him while he told Eddie that there was nothing wrong or bad or dirty about him and that Wayne wouldn't kick him out even if he killed someone.

He blinks and comes back into the present when the last tone of the last song dies out. Eddie jumps off the stage to run up to Wayne's spot at the bar, that smile still secured on his face and his Sweetheart still cradled in his arms.

'And? What do ya think?' He’s practically bouncing with excitement and Wayne can’t help but smile; Eddie might be growing up, but he’ll never really stop being that little boy – not to Wayne, at least.

He reaches out, pulls Eddie closer to let a hand land on his shoulder and rest his chin on his fluffy curls.

He’s never been good with big words, never been good with loving out loud.

'Proud of you, Eddie,' is all he can manage to say.

But judging from the way Eddie refuses to pull away for a whole twenty seconds, it’s exactly enough.

[randomfoggytiger]

I first want to say, I love your fic lists and meta posts so much!

This is probably going to sound so silly. I have been a casual lurker in the x files fandom on Tumblr for a couple of years after i got into the show my last semester of college. I'm now realizing my hyperfixation isn't going away any time soon, and I want to start being more active here in this community. Maybe start posting some of the fic I've written just for fun. Everyone is so creative and talented; I'm a little overwhelmed and I'm not totally sure how to start? Any recommendations for how to start participating a bit more? Thank you 💗

An honor to be asked-- thank you! :DDD

For friendships and connections, I'd start engaging with posts in either tags or comments or-- most importantly-- asks. People want to be included in thoughts or conversations here (or just to chat); and that's how I became mutuals with a bunch of people.

I highly recommend @baronessblixen for any and all asks (and beautiful short fics)-- she loves new fans, and is highly receptive to conversations (she also encouraged me to move from anon to Tumblr user)-- and @deathsbestgirl for any and all meta-- she constantly engages with tags and comments (and we love to go back and forth with ideas, etc.) @x-files-scripts and @dunhamhairograpy post scripts from the original show; @scullysflannel, @myassbrokethefall, @iconicscullyoutfits, @perplexistan, @pennyserenade, and deathsbestgirl write incredible meta; @amplifyme, @aloysiavirgata, @suitablyaggrieved, @slippinmickeys, @cecilysass, @storybycorey, @settle-down-frohike, @leiascully, @writingwell, @sigritandtheelves, @jessahmewren, @dreamingofscully and @sixhours are long-time writers that are still active(ish) in the fandom; @mondfuchs, @opentheskies, @tennant-the-tigger post art; @mappingthexfiles, @trusttnno1, and @samanthamulder create edits or gifs; @carrie11, @thatfragilecapricorn30, and @scapegrace74-blog post nature photography; and @dd-is-my-guiltypleasure and @whovianderson keep up with David and Gillian respectively (btw, the actors' relationships are probably the most divided issue in this fandom-- I vote "not a big deal", personally.)

I can't recommend all the current writers I keep up with (wordspace), but I reblog them here or from my archives on the @x-files-fics second account I opened. I participated in an event last year with @welsharcher, @agent-troi, baronessblixen, and @numinousmysteries which can be found under the eightnightsofmulder blog~. Authors I wish would come back to Tumblr are endless but @wtfmulder, @melforbes, @enigmaticdrblockhead, @onpaperfirst are on the list.

Like any fandom, there are divided lines between groups; but most people don't play those games and reblog from whomever they want (unless actively blocked.)

Resources: @today-in-fic collects all fics on Tumblr, and @ao3feed-msr collects the Ao3 ones. @lilydalexf is the original compiler (masterpost here.) I have resources for searching any and all fic here; and my fic compilations/meta posts/Personality Types-MBTI(ish) posts/xf fanvids/extra content are here.

Hope that helps!

OMG.  The show actually gave us TinyHook.  Swinging a giant cheese knife!  So much love for this.

[thegreatdragonofjustice]

I'm not sure how to photo edit memes so I need some help. I'd really like to see a picture with Tigger bragging about being "the only one" on one side and The Doctor looking utterly appalled on the other. (In my head I see David Tennant but Matt Smith has that really good line about how it sits in a person's hearts)

Even through the years, this man still looks like a giddy child on a sugar overload.

So, he’s cracked the code on how to be a dilf as well as a super enthusiastic boy on Christmas morning. How?

[captainswanandclintasha]

Today in her live stream on instagram, @tennant-the-tigger showed me how to draw a head. 

This is what I did instead of studying (really, Biogeography sucks)

I think it’s a good start. I need t practice now. A lot. 

Thank you so much Julie!! I love your live streams.

(Now I’m going to study)

@tennant-the-tigger replied to your post “I love that whenever there’s a Killian heavy episode, OUAT’s like OH...”

But Needs confirmation on who's the oceans 11 please!

Alright final role call, bilge rats!

Deffos, IMO:

Killian

Ariel

Eric

Ursula

Poseidon

Liam II

Nemo

Smee

Liam I: Patron Saint of Good Form, Clean Decks, and Pointing

Milah: Patron Saint of No Nonsense, Piracy, and Spilt Tea

Henry’s got my nom for 11, but I know there have been calls for others. Pirate democracy -- put it to the vote!

Thanks for the tag, @thatfragilecapricorn30 :DDD

[randomfoggytiger]

Keeping this quick and clean; but I could recommend so, so many more people.

@today-in-fic collects txf fic posted here daily.

@lilydalexf 's masterposts are the apex for fic recs.

So many fic writers here-- some OGs that are X-Files-focused include:

@baronessblixen, @amplifyme, @aloysiavirgata,

@slippinmickeys, @cecilysass, @settle-down-frohike,

@is-on-its-way, @sixhours, @writingwell, @bakedbakermom,

@leiascully, @msrafterdark, @dreamingofscully, @oohnotvery,

@freckleslikestars (I think), @numinousmysteries (I think), etc.

OGs that also write for or are invested in other fandoms are @touchstoneaf, @sigritandtheelves, @ghostbustermelanieking,

@sharpestasp, @invidiosa, @suitablyaggrieved, etc.

Writers that no longer write (to my knowledge) but are worth the read:

@teethnbone, @mashnotesofthemythopoeic,

@enigmaticdrblockhead, @wtfmulder,

@lyndsaybones, @crossedbeams, @mollybecameanengineer, etc.

New fic writers:

@agent-troi, @welsharcher, @thursdayinspace,

@numinousmysteries, @skelavender, @xxsksxxx, @nimlurks (I think), etc.

(I'd follow baronessblixen: she keeps up with all the new releases~)

Incredible meta writers include:

@deathsbestgirl, @scullysflannel, @iconicscullyoutfits,

@myassbrokethefall, @carefulfears, etc.

Artists? Too many to count; but some include:

@opentheskies, @muldertxf, @mondfuchs, @singeart,

@tennant-the-tigger, @hvnniedraws, @flurgburgler, @seapotty,

@dreampencil, @cel-s-mess, @3-oclock-tea,

@windwenn, @mulder4scully, etc.

My own page has fic collection posts, meta posts, some fics I wrote, a few "musicals", and a growing pile of fashion posts centered around David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson (all found on my pinned post here.) And if it doesn't sound too uppity: I try to keep my tags clean and "itemized" so it's easy to find similar posts (i.e. art or txf or xf meta or Collector's Edition or rec or xf fanvid or fashion, etc; or even by author's or meta-writer's name) if you want to peruse my archives to find more. :D

Hi friends, I’m looking to find more people to follow on here that are active!

Please give me follow recs 😌 would like them to be solely or mostly txf/msr blogs, and would also like to follow fic rec blogs and people who rec a lot of fics!

Please and thank you!!!

[mizgnomer]

I love your DT posts. Have you ever done DT with springs in his feet? His airborne arrival on stage at a recent Con (Columbus), then leaping down to see a crying child (which only made it worse) and effortlessly leaping back onto the hip-high (his hip) stage was amazing. DT is amazing.

Thanks for your message, kind anon!  I’m glad you like the DT posts. I enjoy making them!

I haven’t done one like you describe - it’s a great idea.  I do have a set in-progress (maybe someday I’ll find the spare time to finish it) with him leaping over various things.  I included a bit of that in my Casanova vs. the Doctor comparison post:

People have said that Ten is like Tigger, but perhaps it’s more accurate to say Tennant is like Tigger.  Thanks again for the suggestion and your kind message!
