Whenever I need cheering up, there are certain authors and fics I always revisit. Kel is one of those writers and this is one of those fics ( Read more... )

I love angst and fix-it fics (and the writing of prufrock's love) but I'm ready to take a break from the post-series, post-IWTB setting, and read something set earlier in the series. This rec comes from last year's The Ten Greatest XF Fics You've Ever Read. Read what zinnia03 had to say about "America's Games":

America’s Games by Sarah Segretti. Author’s ( Read more... )

Yes, the mod is bypassing the queue again. "Manitou" by the same author was recced by mogster495. While it may be excellent, my mood is such that I can't read a gruesome case file fic. My favorite fic by Dryad is "Quiet, He'll Hear You," but I can't handle it right now either ( Read more... )

We're back into the angst, this week, with a couple of vignettes that fill in some of the blanks the previous fics have hinted at about Mulder and Scully's past assignations, and the days of their early relationship.

I did finish 1995 and put it up at Dreamwidth. Now that I am back ( Read more... )

This "old skool" story nominated by kukkaseksi is a casefile set in third season in the middle of something called "the infamous rift"(?) You long-time fans are going to have to explain that one to me. I never noticed a rift between Mulder and Scully in season three. No more than usual, anyway. Here is the info from Gossamer, although the link is from the ( Read more... )

For those of you who are tired of all the shippiness, here is some gen courtesy of bardsmaid. "Oil" offers a fantastically original look at one corner of the X-Files universe.
