WB Server Notes:

By way of explanation, the Waxer*Boil discord server has been doing weekly workshops for authors/artists. Every week, we have a prompt and 45 minutes to fill it. The goal (for me anyway) is not to produce complete, well, anything. I am just enjoying the exercise and these are not beta read and only edited because I have to type them in after writing by hand and cannot help myself from making small changes.

I am posting mine to AO3 as chapters in a single work, which can be found here.

The prompt for this was ‘Amnesia.’

___________________________________________________________

“Da-y-nuh.” Mulder drags the syllables out, rolling them around in his mouth. Something about them feels wrong. It strikes him as funny, in a tragic sort of way, that he knows almost nothing about himself, yet he somehow knows that his partner is not supposed to be ‘Dana.’ “You’re Dana and I’m… Fox?”

“Well…” the redhead before him hedges, “yes. But you’ve never been a fan of your first name. I’ve always called you ‘Mulder.’”

“Ah.” That’s understandable. It’s a bit of a cringy name. Were his parents hippies or something? It sounds like some kind of hippie name, but he can’t remember… “What about you? I don’t call you Dana, do I? I call you - you’re Scully.”

“Yes! You remember that?” She grins at his use of her name. It’s the first time he has seen her really smile and it takes him aback. Her whole face lights up, taking his breath away.

“Not exactly a memory, more of a feeling. ‘Dana’ just didn’t feel right, if that makes sense.”

“So you don’t remember me?” Her smile fades.

“No. I’m sorry.” He offers lamely. Disappointment and something else - sadness? - flash across her features, but she masks them quickly. She does that a lot. He isn’t sure how he knows that, he just does. He must be important to her. She is important to him too, he thinks. The ache in his gut, regret and hurt for having disappointed her, tells him that.

“That’s alright, it will come back to you. The doctor said --”

“I know, that it was probably only temporary. Post-Traumatic Amnesia.” He parrots back some of the phrases he overheard the doctor telling Scully.

Scully. He repeats the name to himself, letting it bounce around his head. There are emotions and memories there, hazy edges of things he cannot quite make out. His brow creases as he tries to reach for something, anything. Scully said they work together - partners at the FBI. But they’re more than that… they’re important to each other. They’re… his mind brushes against one of those hazy edges and he gets the briefest flash of a memory - her hands in his. Softness. He tries to focus on the memory to bring the image into focus, but it fades as soon as he pushes. Fuck.

“Mulder?” Her hand - in the present - on his shoulder pulls him from his thoughts. “Hey, you okay? You shouldn’t force yourself to remember. You’ll only frustrate yourself. The memories will come back.”

Her eyes are so blue. Their color is familiar, comforting. He’s spent a lot of time looking into her eyes, looking for reassurance there. Looking into her eyes… Is that what he’s missing? Maybe -- “Scully, are we -- are we lovers?”

“N-no.” She’s startled by the question. A faint, adorable blush colors her cheeks. “No, we’re coworkers and friends - close friends - but we’re not...involved...romantically.”

“Ah. Okay.” It’s irrational to be disappointed - he doesn’t even properly remember this woman - but he is anyway.

“What gave you the impression we were?”

Each chapter has a "tag like things" in the notes when I list things that may help readers decide whether or not they want to dig in. I am only adding character and ship tags to the whole work, so as not to have a wall of tags that might be misleading to those who are looking for polished works on AO3.

Well, if you just need a hit list, you could go with Bill and Ted’s model.

Without knowing the details, I’m not sure how much help we can offer, but I would say that the most obvious place to go would be Joan of Arc’s time period (which, conveniently enough, is included in the above model).
