So Gossamer seems to be down, and I promptly freaked out at the realization. And while luckily someone gave Internet Achive a download so it's not fully lost, I would bet there are still people who want an easier way to read some of the fics that haven't been passed on to AO3. Never fear, I got you! These links have been verified as active by me today (08/09/2024), and I while some may be harder to navigate than others due to age, the fics are readable and that's the main criteria. So here we go!
-Gertie's X-Files Shippers is an angst/romance archive, with a good range of ratings and levels of smut. A fun time all around 😉
-The Annex is an archive for novel length fics, and contains about 450 works from 1998-2002
-Hyraeth Archives is a MSR themed archive sorted alphabetically, with pretty good tags
-Greasy Spoon is an adorable archive designed like a menu, so the fics can be "to your taste." 😋 Sorted by length, and spice meter!
-X Libris is one of my favorites. They have a ton of fics in a variety of formats and a great tagging system. The latest update made it a bit harder to use the tag filter, but overall, it's a great resource!
