Long before I began watching The X-Files, Anne Haynes took her fanfic off the internet, to the extent that one can, and began a successful career as a professional romance writer. I own a copy of one of her romances. However, as I am one of the most persistent hunters of the lost fanfic you can imagine, I found this fic via the Wayback Machine. The Sonnet Series isn’t really a series, except in a very limited sense. They are episode tags.

SONNET: "Sleep is Sweeter" by Anne Haynes.
Rating: R | Warnings: none
Genre: MSR, episode tag
Pairings: Dana Scully/Fox Mulder

Summary: This takes place in the middle of the episode. Her author's note says it best.

This is very different from my usual SONNET stories, which will be patently clear from the first... If you're against Mulder/Scully romance, run away now, screaming your little girly scream. If you continue to read after this warning, don't expect me to respond to your pathetic whining if you don't like it."

Whew. Strong words. That MSR v. Nomoro thing was serious stuff back in the day. By contrast, today's wimpy noromos read, enjoy, and even rec MSR fanfic.

As should be obvious from the title, the next story was written in tribute to "Sleep is Sweeter."

I felt Chris Carter missed a real opportunity to make fun of us relationshippers by putting them in bed together and, as Paula suggests, making what subsequently happened very unclear. Well, I can't resist, in my unworthy way, taking the thing one step further. It won't make any sense if you haven't read Paula Graves's "SONNET: "Sleep is Sweeter," though.

Historical footnote: Did you spot the use of "relationshipper"? Our fandom really did invent the term, "shipper," though not shipping itself, of course.

Ode to Paula Graves: "Sleep is Sweeter" (Aftermath) by Madeleine Partous
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: none
Pairings: Dana Scully/Fox Mulder
Genre: Mulder/Scully romance, humour

Summary: Forget Jose Chung, fake alien autopsies and sweet potato pie. The real X-File? What actually happened in the motel room that night...

That was a pleasant diversion. Next up: "Avatar."

Everyone loathed this episode, and I do mean everyone. The viewers. The critics. Director Kim Manners made up tee-shirts and handed them out to the cast and crew. "I survived Teso Dos Bichos." Can I have one, too?

The script was so terrible. One of the reviewers said it's like "The Curse of the Mummy," except there's no mummy.

Feral cats are not scary enough to be the villain of the piece. Mulder and Scully had guns. Maybe they should have fired a warning shot over the heads of the attacking cats instead of turning tail and running?

The actor who played Dr. Bilac gave what had to be the worst portrayal of an academician ever televised. I know the script didn't give him much help but he acted more like a professional stoner than a guy with a doctorate in the social sciences.

Perhaps "Teso Dos Bichos" might have worked if it had been intended to be humorous. No, never mind. Nothing was going to save this one. This turkey can safely be skipped.

FANFICTION RECS: Yes. I have one. And it's wonderful.

"Angular Momentum" is a gen casefile which fits into canon, still has the Mulder/Scully partnership at its center, and is written by an author who likes both characters! It's mostly vintage Kel: snappy dialogue, intricate plotting, with a side order of political/social satire. The Lone Gunmen all play pivotal roles in this story, too. Oh! I nearly left out the best part: in a memorable and luminous sequence, Mulder and Scully journey to the "lower world," and get to meet their spirit guides. This would have made a great episode, with its perfect mixture of humor, murder, and mysticism.

True confession. I love this story so much I commissioned fanart for it and gave it to the writer. Obviously, I love the writer, too. And the artist, Ravenari, is amazing. Click on the link after you've read the fic.

If you love this episode, here's your fair warning: I don't, I never have, and I won’t mince words about it. I am well aware that every other critic in the world loves it and loves Vince Gilligan. If you think he can do no wrong, and wish he'd been the show-runner for the revival episodes, you are entitled to your opinion. But you're never going to convince me. Despite his talent, he's the last guy I'd want running a show featuring characters I love.

If my ranting about "Pusher" is going to raise your blood pressure, step away now. ( In which I rant about Pusher )

Despite being listed in the spoiler section for "Pusher," this fic has nothing whatsoever to do with it. But I needed to read something to get that episode out of my brain. "Caving" did the trick. It has everything I like in a fluffy MSR fic: sexual tension, a long buildup before we get to the, ahem, climax, and a little leavening of angst—this is The X-Files, after all. Her dialogue is full of wit. The characters' emotions and actions are believably them, and not lifted out of a bad romance novel. This fic is funny, sexy, and not-too-sweet; in short, it's damn close to perfect.

Caving by A. Kelly Nolan
RATING: R | CATEGORIES: SR | KEYWORDS: Mulder/Scully romance
SPOILERS: Tiny one for "Pusher."
SUMMARY: She looked at him a long moment, a wicked plan hatching in her mind."Care to make this interesting?" Mulder caught her tone and smiled to himself. Scully wanted to play. "What'd you have in mind?"

Author's Note: There's no specific time frame for this story, but I'd say it feels seventh seasonish. Complete notes at the end.

Many people enjoy stories where the protagonists have sex in the aftermath of a trauma. I don't. Even if I did, I'd have some issues with this story, so this is a qualified rec. Having said that, this is still the most nuanced post-op I've ever read for "Pusher." We discussed the fic at the xf-book-club if you're curious about my ambivalence. Here is my bottom line: Amal Nahurriyeh is one of the best writers no longer in this fandom (sob!), and this story was posted on LiveJournal nearly ten years ago, during a lull in TXF fannish activity. If "First/Second" had been posted in a megafandom like MCU on AO3, it would have received hundreds of comments and thousands of hits. I love her work and I think her fics deserve a much wider audience.

First/Second by Amal Nahurriyeh
Summary: First times are usually a disaster.

We're back to the mythology, this time for a two-parter that introduces the most disturbing villain of The X-Files mythology, the black oil entity. The story line is structured as a thriller, with a horror component as the centerpiece. Alongside Mulder's action story, we get the resolution to Melissa's murder, with Scully capturing Luis Cardinal, the man who killed her sister.

The story has better than usual continuity, pulling together loose threads from several past mythology episodes: the Talapus, which was the salvage ship that transported the U.F.O. from "Nisei," Melissa's murder from "Paper Clip," and the digital tape from "Anasazi."( More about the episodes )

Yes, I have fic recs. I never posted these at

201daysofxfiles; it has been years and at this point, I have no memory of why.

"Silo" by Bardsmaid is a 155 word episode tag, too short to require more explanation. AO3 claims it is 199 words—it is not. I have no idea how that place calculates word count or why they are off by 40+ words. It is also at Gossamer.

Silo (155 words) by Bardsmaid

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Alex Krycek
Additional Tags: An X-File Case, Episode: S03e15 Piper Maru, Episode: S03e16 Apocrypha
Summary:

He's not alone. He's definitely not in control.

"Oil" is disturbing and strange and original. The link is to Ratales but is also archived at Gossamer.

Oil (1579 words) by Eodrakken Quicksilver
Warnings: none
Rating: Gen
Summary: A possession. A nightmare. A love story. A different point of view. Post-"Apocrypha".

The next rec is a qualified one. Mortimer's style is excellent, ditto for the character voices; the plot is clever and well-executed. So what's the problem, Wendy? It's non-con. I got into an argument with a Mulder/Krycek shipper about that fact, but trust me, it is non-con. End of story. I don't care for the fic's ending but the rest of the story is a excellent blend of dry humor and creepiness, kind of like The X-Files. There is a sequel that I cannot recommend at all because she's written Mulder so out-of-character. However, M/K shippers love it, so YMMV. Both fics can be found at Gossamer and at her old site so you can judge for yourselves.

The Same Everywhere (13735 words) by Jane Mortimer
Rating: Explicit. Very.
Warnings: Non-con
Characters/Relationships: Fox Mulder/Alex Krycek, the Lone Gunmen
Summary: An alien has the ability to take over a human's body and force it to do as they please...

See? Even the author gets it. I put in a link to Mortimer's archived AOL website because there are a couple of fics that are not at Gossamer and they're worth reading, imho.

"Grotesque" is easily Howard Gordon's best script for the series so far. It's well-directed, beautifully filmed, and has a great score. I want to like it. Heck, I want to love it. While it has some genuinely scary moments, there is something hollow at the core. It has to do with Gordon's characterization of Fox Mulder.

This episode is ground zero for all of those Profiler! Mulder fics where Our Hero Goes Crazy while tracking down a serial killer. "Corpse" by Livengoo and "Oklahoma" by Amperage and Livengoo are two of the best known of the genre. Both are at Gossamer. There's a long list of titles at The X-Files Lost and Found. These are a few of my favorites.

Rivkat's "Acadia" is a fine representation of the genre, and is filled with rich descriptions of Maine in early spring which give it a sense of place. Her Mulder is a bit crazier than some and her Scully quite a bit angrier than most, but if you've read "Iolokus," that's hardly going to come as a surprise.

Acadia (35958 words) by rivkat

Additional Tags: Serial Killer
Series: Part 1 of Acadia
Summary:

Mulder and Scully track a killer in the woods, while struggling with the various issues unresolved between them. Fourth season, between Demons & Gethsemane.

In "A Case of Compromise," I admire how deftly Humby gets both characters involved in the case without contradicting canon and having them meet in person. I adore stories that remind us of how smart both of these characters are.

A Case of Compromise by Joann Humby
Rating - PG (but with a warning for strong language)
Classification - X
Summary:
It's 1991, Mulder has the X-Files and no partner. Scully is working at Quantico. A Senator's daughter goes missing and Mulder's life gets difficult.

"The Eye of the Beholder" is such a well-conceived and well-executed x-file/casefile that it was hard to believe it was her first "real story" (her words, not mine).

The Eye of the Beholder by Nascent
Rating - Mature (violence, language) (My rating, not Nascent's)
Spoilers - Emily
Keywords - Mulder/Scully Friendship/UST
Summary:
Mulder and Scully are called in to help track a serial killer whose victims have a guilty past. But the killer draws their personal lives into a high-stakes game of vengeance, which poses a risky
opportunity for to learn more about the Syndicate and lots of opportunities for almost-gratuitous Angst.

In "Gerber Daisies," DiscordantWords tackles a difficult genre, skillfully setting a new casefile into the events of season eight, following Mulder's return in "Dead Alive."

Summary:

Mulder, adjusting to life after death, comes face-to-face with one of the most dangerous criminals he's ever encountered. Set against the backdrop of Season 8.

"This House is Burning" is flat-out the best Profiler!Mulder series I've ever read. Tesla's writing style flows effortlessly, and is, by turns, unobtrusive and lyrical. Her Mulder is both much more competent at his job and much less crazy than he's often written, which is a welcome relief. But THIB is more than a series of meticulously constructed casefics, it's also a believable, emotionally involving Mulder/Scully romance. So let's see: great writing? Check. Exciting plot? Check. Scorching hot sex scenes? Check, check, check.

I have read this episode tag for "Syzygy" over and over again with pleasure. But then I love everything tree has written for The X-Files. She is one of a handful of writers who can give poetic voice to Scully, as well as show her scientific expertise and innate intelligence. Tree's Scully dazzles me.

This is such a funny episode. You remember this scene.

(Outside, Scully drives up next to Mulder's car and looks at Bambi.)

SCULLY: Let me guess... Bambi.

BAMBI BERENBAUM: Fox told me to wait out here while he checked inside first.

(Scully unbuckles her seatbelt and gets out of the car.)

Should I come along with you?

SCULLY: No... this is no place for an entomologist.

Classic.

So. You would think there would be all the "Mulder and Scully go back to the roach motel and have sex in the shower" fics. No such luck. I looked and couldn’t find any. Sorry, folks.

wendelah1

I have several to go along with the theme of Scully's spiritual journey. Unfortunately, they are full of spoilers, through "Millenium" at least, so be aware if you are watching the series for the first time.

Kevin by Justin Glasser
This story never made it to Gossamer although I think everything else he wrote for TXF is there.

The fic was never rated by the author, nor does it have a summary. There is off-screen, disturbing content which, though handled well, could be triggering.

The title character for "Kevin" is Kevin Kryder from "Revelations," although Justin Glasser spells his last name, "Cryder." The story takes place three years later, after "Emily" and "All Souls." It's a casefic, divided into 12 short chapters. The nature of the case allows Mulder and Scully to continue their dialogue about faith. It doesn't surprise that it won a Spooky Award for "Most Carteresque." I can easily imagine it as a sequel to "Revelations."

The Thirty-Sixth by Jess M.
DISCLAIMER: Um, let me check... nope, don't own them. Damn.
DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT: Anywhere, just let me know.
SPOILER WARNING: Through Millennium and beyond!
RATING: R
CONTENT WARNING: some sex and a bit of violence, just enough to make it spicy
CLASSIFICATION: X-File, MSR
SUMMARY: It's about faith, religion and sainthood.

It's also about love. And knitting. "The Thirty-Sixth" is another story about spirituality, this time focused on Mulder.

God's Breath (52217 words) by Jintian
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The X-Files
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Fox Mulder/Dana Scully, Dana Scully/Original Male Character
Characters: Dana Scully, Fox Mulder
Summary:

May 1999. A mysterious death brings Scully's faith and personal history to the fore.

Jintian wrote this story entirely from Scully's point-of-view, which makes the story feel even more intimate and immediate. She created a believable back-story for Scully, a creepy X-File, and wonderful characterizations of Mulder and Scully. Detective Kresge from the episode "Emily" makes a repeat appearance. She also gives us a Bill Scully who isn't a hateful jerk, but is instead a guy who loves his sister and wants the best for her. You know, like Mulder loves his sister.

Next: "War of the Coprophages."

It's been awhile. Every time I repost from Tumblr, I have to reformat everything and fix broken links, the curse of a old fandom.

Anyway, I've already posted about "Lethe" here, but it seems appropriate to rec it again for the episode where Scully meets the MUFON women for the first time. This is a terrific story by a great writer. My summary: Samantha meets Scully in the White Place.

Summary:

"Space, like time, engenders forgetfulness; but it does so by setting us bodily free from our surroundings and giving us back our primitive, unattached state. Yes, it can even, in the twinkling of an eye, make something like a vagabond of the pedant and philistine. Time, we say, is Lethe; but change of air is a similar draught, and, if it works less thoroughly, does so more quickly."

I first read "The Bright White Place" ten years ago and ~~I don't have time to read it again~~ hell I just read it again anyway. (It is compulsively readable once you get going on it.) It is darkfic, very dark. If you throw enough twisted sex into your fic, it will fry my brain, because I remember liking it a lot. I might have been the only member of fictalk who did, too. If you check out the entry at Fanlore, you can see what people thought back in the day. What else? Krycek is a real shithead in this. I guess that's a warning, too. So, if you are the kind of reader who enjoys this sort of thing, go for it; otherwise, stay far, far away.

Zine format. Wow. I've never seen an X-Files zine, I've only read about them. The zine was eXotica issue 2, published in 1997. The Fanlore entry: eXotica.

"The Walk" marks the beginning of the third season plot/relationship arc long referred to as "The Rift," or if you're British, "The Tiff." Opinions vary about where (or why?) the rift begins but everyone agrees it ends with "Pusher." After re-watching "The Walk," I can't say I noticed any signs of a rift between Mulder and Scully. What I saw was a well-done classic horror episode, directed by Rob Bowman from John Shiban's first script for the series.

"Capacity" is a nuanced character study of Dana Scully in "The Walk."

Summary:

Character is what you are in the dark.

"No Greater Love" is a third season fic that takes place during the infamous Rift, but that’s not really what’s it’s about. The title is from John 15:13. “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” This story is about sacrifice and the redemptive power of love. And, since this is casefic, along the way, we get lots of dead bodies.

"Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" is one of my favorite episodes of television. Though it begins with a murder and ends with a suicide, it doesn't leave the viewer feeling hopeless. The story is a perfect mixture of light and dark, with the bleakness of the serial murder investigation interlaced with black humor and quirky philosophizing. The script won an Emmy for Darin Morgan. In the span of 44 minutes, Peter Boyle brings his unforgettable character to life, winning an Emmy for his performance as well.

FANFICTION RECS:

The idea that Scully is immortal inspired three of the best fics in this fandom. They are presented here in order of their appearance.

From a great distance, she heard Fox Mulder scream.

Dana Scully jerked awake and in the same second knew Mulder hadn't screamed, wasn't dying, his blood wasn't on her hands. Just a dream, another damned dream.

From the first line, Julie Fortune had me hooked. "Fata Morgana" begins as a crime story, then turns quickly into an X-file, but at its core, this is a portrait of Mulder and Scully's partnership: what they mean to one other and how much they each will risk for the other. It also has one of the most erotic non-sex scenes I have ever read, which I don't want to spoil by saying anything more.

Fata Morgana by Julie Fortune
Warnings: none
Rating: Teen
Genre: X-file, heavy angst
Summary: none provided. Just read it, please.

Technically, the next two recs are post-eps for "Tithonus" but since I think of that episode as fanfic for Clyde Bruckman, I have no qualms about reccing these stories for both episodes.

I just reread this fic, originally written in 2008 for The X-Files Secret Santa Gift Exchange. It is simply one of the best stories I've read in this fandom, for its structure, for the emotional and intellectual trajectory of Scully's reaction to finding out she's immortal, and the devastating ending. Idella's wit, as well as her tenderness and compassion for the characters, especially Scully, are unmatched.

Idella chose not to use archive warnings. However, if you need a warning for potential triggers/disturbing content, there is one at the original post under a cut.

Anon and non-member comments are all screened and your email address will not be revealed. There are spoilers in the comment threads.

This a major work, by a major writer in the fandom. It's also her best work, in my humble opinion, an outstanding, well-crafted, and unforgettable story that deserved a much wider audience. The links are to her livejournal. This is also archived at Gossamer, where there is a somewhat misleading warning on the post. There was nothing warm and fuzzy about this fic.

Welcome to season three of The X-Files.

There's just something about this scene in the cafe, where Mulder and Scully meet with Skinner. They're both on the run. They're outlaws, federal agents operating outside the law, but they couldn't be reacting more differently to their situation. What if they hadn't agreed to give up the digital tape in return for their safe return? Could they have used its information to bring down the Consortium? There's another AU fic I wish someone had written.

FANFIC RECS: There is a theme running through these fics. They are all, in one way or another, about the untimely death of Melissa Scully.

I think Jintian's summary says what needs to be said.

The fandom was much smaller back in 2009 when this story was first posted to AO3. That is the only excuse I can think of for this having so few kudos. It's a concise, well-written post-ep. Give it a chance.

Rated: PG

Key Words: ScullyAngst
Summary: You need to believe that she's still around, that she isn't all in your head. For sisters everywhere.

Perfect post-ep is perfect. This is exactly how I imagined it would happen. It's part of Khyber's never-to-be-finished series, "Khyber versus Season Seven," but it works just fine as a standalone. I recommend Kv7 even though it is incomplete because the stories are so excellent. In fact, I recommend everything he's written. His novel, "Sokol" is easily the equal of the better known, (and also fantastic) "Iolokus." In case you're unfamiliar with his work, the angst is strong in this writer. His disclaimer is something to the effect that he doesn't own them, he just makes them unhappy. Consider that a warning?

Coyote Luck by Khyber
CLASSIFICATION: VA

SUMMARY: Khyber vs. Season Seven. Post-ep/missing scenes for "Paper Clip."
Author's Notes: Part of "Khyber vs. Season Seven." Intended to be read after "Home From The War," even though chronologically this is the first point of divergence from canon.

I'd searched and searched for this fic, but all I could remember was that it was a post-ep and Melissa did a tarot card reading. It's so much more than that, and even better than I'd remembered.
