Following a lead on a case they just can’t seem to solve, an accident leaves Mulder with supernatural powers. The same powers their main suspect seems to posses. In a race against time to stop a series of murders, what could be a key to the case instead puts new obstacles in their way.
All After Such a Desert - Explicit, 31,990 words (AO3 link)
He would rather stick his fingers in a wall socket than hurt or upset her, ever. He keeps waiting for this love to start hurting the way he knows all love hurts at some point down the road. But he’s loved her for years and here they are. Tentatively, timidly, his soul is still reaching for hers, asking it to soothe old hurts and pain. He doesn’t know how he’s ever going to be able to be enough, but he’ll try, he’ll try. And hope that eventually, maybe, one day he will deserve her, if he just tries hard enough.
In which Mulder learns what it truly means to be a whole person to someone.
From This Morning Forward - Explicit, 7,233 words (AO3 link)
Moving back in happens slowly. It's not a decision, it's not a plan. They've each battled their own demons, and now that the wounds are starting to heal, she's so tired of pretending that she doesn't miss him every day. After all, through the good times and the bad, it's always been the two of them, together. -- Set during the revival era.
Future Imperfect - T, 12,525 words (AO3 link)

Lucky Stars - Mature, 12,212 words (AO3 link)
After the events of Syzygy, Scully feels that things are strained between her and Mulder. She thinks maybe some time away from each other will help, but sometimes things don't quite work out the way you planned them.
Unremarkable Days - various ratings, ongoing series of standalone ficlets (AO3 link)
A series of ficlets describing days in the life of Mulder and Scully at the Unremarkable House. These will be more or less standalone ficlets, so I'm leaving it as a WIP for as long as I can think of more mundane everyday adventures to add. Ratings will vary from G to Explicit but you can skip parts without losing track of the plot. This will be fluff for the most part, with the occasional sprinkling of angst lite; details will be given in the notes for every chapter. Mainly, this is the two of them learning to stop running.
One-shots under the cut:

No Longer Dreaming - Explicit, 2,626 words (AO3 link)

It's Not a Goodnight Kiss - M, 1,204 words (AO3 link)

or: the kiss from The Truth, told in 1,000 words.
Coffee and Pancakes - T, 1,881 words (AO3 link)
It’s amazing, he thinks, how quickly you can get used to things just because they feel right.

For the prompt "domestic." Set somewhere in season 7.
A Number of Firsts - G, 827 words (AO3 link)

It's Messy, But It's Home - 769 words (AO3 link)
Today's fluffuary prompt was "cooking together." I decided I liked "baking together" better, so I did that instead. What can I say. Sometimes you just gotta bend the rules a little. This is between season 9 (which didn't happen in this universe) and IWTB.

“I can’t believe there wasn’t a single room available anywhere,” Scully says, snuggling deeper under the jacket she’s using as a blanket, already sounding half asleep as she tilts the driver’s seat back into a reclined position. “Three motels and not one single bed to be found.”
Mulder shifts in the passenger seat – which she had insisted he should take because of the leg room – and desperately tries to get comfortable. “That has literally never happened before,” he agrees, sliding the seat back as far as it will go. It’s still too cramped. “God, Scully, how can you ever sleep in the car? You always make it look so easy.”
The Words Behind the Meaning - G, 3,175 words (AO3 link)
He tells her he owes her everything and she owes him nothing. She knows that's not true, but she doesn't get to tell him. Life has other plans. But she knows. And once life lets her, she will tell him.

Starstruck - G, 671 words (AO3 link)
"So, I guess she's sticking around, then?" Frohike asks, and Mulder looks up from . . . whatever it is Byers just put on the screen in front of him and nods.

--

Had You Big Time - G, 540 words (AO3 link)
"I've thought about our weekend away," he whispers against her lips, before he kisses her again. "I've had the perfect idea."
Tasting Raindrops - G, 385 words (AO3 link)
She laughs with him and can't look away, raindrops clinging to his lashes, water dripping from his nose -- not kissing him in this moment would defy every law of the universe.
What Time Do You Call This? - G, 495 words (AO3 link)
He stirs as she carefully lowers herself onto the mattress and she pauses, not wanting to wake him. It's way after midnight and it's enough if one of them will be entirely sleep-deprived the next day.

there is something fundamentally strange about demanding that transformative fiction function as an exercise in perfect canon replication. fanfic is by definition interested in possibility. it takes characters out of the fixed circumstances of the source material and asks what they might become under different pressures, in different relationships, with different experiences, or simply through a different author’s understanding of them. sometimes the entire premise is “what would have to happen for this character to behave in a way they never did in canon?” and like that is not necessarily a failure of characterization. sometimes that is the characterization. and obviously there are interpretations that feel more or less supported by the text. it is perfectly reasonable to argue that a fic has failed to make a particular choice psychologically convincing. but that is a wholly different argument from treating canon as a list of immutable behaviors and using “they wouldn’t do that” as a supposedly objective veto against any trope you dislike.
Remember that time Mulder and Scully decided to stack desiccated corpses in the hopes of using the bodies to escape. Damn they’re both weirdos, how much height did they think the body tower would actually yield? It’s not even by the mouth of the opening, at this point I can only assume they were playing dead body jenga.

Their life may not be anybody's definition of normal, but maybe normal is overrated anyway.
A series of ficlets describing days in the life of Mulder and Scully at the Unremarkable House. These will be more or less standalone ficlets, though they are connected, but you can skip the parts that aren't your thing without losing track of the plot.
Chapter 15:
Mulder wants to build a pond. Scully wants to watch him work.
rating: teen | word count: 1.5k | @today-in-fic & @xf-fic-fix
Like many elite families in coastal Massachusetts, Bill and Teena Mulder insisted that learning an instrument would be an essential part of their children's education. The violin had grown in popularity in their circles, and when Fox was six years old, he gained a brand new children's violin, handcrafted with warm maple wood, and a teacher who lived right down the street.
He had enjoyed playing it and liked the rhythm that his hands fell into once he learned a new song. Samantha, barely two years old, had sat on their mother's lap, managing to sit still long enough for her brother to play his infant renditions of "Hot Cross Buns" and "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star." He hadn't been too terrible—at least, that's what his teacher had said.
When Samantha was of the age to start her musical education, she had also insisted she wanted to learn violin, like Fox, despite their mother's encouragement for one of her children to take up the piano as she had.
Nevertheless, Sam got her way, even if she didn't have the same gift for the violin that her older brother did. She got frustrated, and tears brimmed in her eyes.
"You probably just need to practice, Sam. Come on, let's practice together."
They'd play together, something simple like "Mary Had a Little Lamb," which seemed to help. It then became routine for the family to have both the children play. Bill and Teena reveled in the praise the neighborhood gave them.
During the winter of 1973, after Samantha had disappeared, his grandmother flew up from North Carolina to spend Christmas with them on Martha's Vineyard. In that way only grandmothers did, she seemed to know that the house was quiet, and there'd be no life within it if she wasn't there.
"Fox, darling," she had said on day one of her visit. "Why don't you pull that violin out? Some music might do us all good."
The tears flew forth, and his grandmother drew him up into her arms. She spoke no further of the violin.

if you've ever noticed that indeed barely has any jobs on it lately, it's NOT just you. they started charging companies to post job listings on there and it seems to have significantly decreased the amount of posts (at least anecdotally).
