Khyber, "SOKOL"

text: part 1 (180 k) & part 2 (230 k)| complete PDF

A story about a boy and a girl, a girl and a spaceship, and how things end.

Joyce McKibben, Meredith, and MCA, "MISSING VOICES"

Skinner, Mulder and Scully attempt to take control of their lives as they conspire against the Consortium in an all-or-nothing gamble.

"Mulder must be released to find the truth. Our only hope lies in his freedom to take desperate measures. As a dead man, he will be able to place the bastards in Skinner's hands, and perhaps buy Skinner's freedom from the deceitful bargain he made. I regret placing such a heavy burden on him, but desperate times call for desperate acts. I know in my heart that Mulder will eventually understand this and agree there is no other way." Rated R. (177 K)

nevdull, "TIMBER"

The stars are projectors. Rated R for violence and language. Also available offsite here. (13.7 K)

Sasserbaum, Cecily, "BLOODLINE"

"A photo of a child's hand sends Mulder and Scully into a spiral of emotional blackmail, sacrifice and self-doubt." Rated R. (118 K)

Vehemently, "HEADLONG"

"Mulder clutched his gun uselessly in his chilled hand, realizing that if he actually hit Krycek -- not entirely likely -- his target would fall several hundred feet to his death. He shifted in his seat uncomfortably as his chair glided upwards. Krycek's chair was approaching a support tower, and Mulder heard in his mind that curious thump-squeal a funicular makes as it passes a tower. He shuddered, watching as Krycek leaned forward." Rated PG13. (35 K)

Vehemently, "RAINBOW SIGN"

"Scully asked the military police working on the truck what model it was and what it was used for. Hairs did the Tarantula waltz up Mulder's neck when one of them wiped sooty grease onto his forehead and said it was probably a hospital transport, judging from the struts laid onto the frame. Extra support, for hanging stretchers against the walls. They went back to tearing it to pieces. It was so badly mangled it wouldn't even be very much use as scrap." Rated PG13. (25 k)

Vehemently, "SCATTER"

"Until recently epilepsy carried the stereotype of violent antisocial behavior. The brain is really not much bigger than a cantaloupe, and yet so many of its diseases are still largely a mystery. In no small part because it's unethical to cut open living people's heads to find out what's inside." Rated R. (157 K)

Vehemently, "SIGNALS"

"Frequency is wavelength divided by time. The same equation holds true for visible light, radio reception and the gamma rays which are the result of nuclear weapons. Dangerous thing, a little knowledge." Sequel to "SCATTER." Rated R. (190 K)

Vehemently, "STARVATION ANGEL"

"So far Mulder had not advanced an alien-abduction theory, for which Scully was grateful. She did not want to argue with him when he was so moody; it drew out her rancor and her impatience. Mulder just sat on the neatly-made bedspread -- he looked absurd, a monster, on the rainbow print -- and touched the notebooks with his heavy hands." Rated R. (46 K)

My weapon weighs heavily in my hand. Another agent is entering the room just behind the suspect. I don't have a clear shot. I think GUN! I yell GUN! I swear I hear the word GUN echo through the empty warehouse in my own voice. GUN! But I don't actually say it.

Post-Requiem. Mulder returns, but suffers from significant amnesia. "He tries to speak. "Scully," he says. Like an idiot. A simpleton. He knows how to speak this one word well, as if he's practiced it many times. As if it's his unerring plea for help. It makes him feel better to say it. Rated R. (52 K)

KatyBlue, "TOTALITY OF THE BURDEN, THE"

"Mulder's doctor had been kind, if brief. He'd accepted her excuse of taking over the role that she'd always believed hers. Under a premise of trust in a fellow Hippocratic oath-taker, he'd handed Mulder's medical files over to her.

mimic117, "ONLY SKIN DEEP"

"Squinting against the ache in his head, Mulder tried to focus. Waist-length blonde hair framed a lovely, heart-shaped face. Bright blue eyes were surrounded by thick, black lashes. A button nose perched above a full, cupid's-bow mouth. Her petite body was lushly curved and definitely not a child's, in spite of the piping voice which made her sound like one. Her voice was vaguely familiar although he was pretty sure he'd never seen her face before. He did recognize the gun pointed at him,though. It was his." Rated NC17. (217 K)

Alanna, "BURN"

Bugs, "BURNING ON RE-ENTRY" (offsite link)

"'What's the last thing you remember?" she asks. Her twitching fingers pleat the crisp white sheet beside my inert arm. I have to stop examining the familiar planes of her face, noting all the subtle little changes, to search my fragmented memory. "I remember..." ...The warmth of her necklace coming to rest on my suddenly chilled skin as she stepped back. Her fingers briefly grasping, then releasing my index finger as the door to Skinner's office opened and the others poured out..." Rated NC17.

I'd brought him to my apartment. I couldn't bear his dark, depressing warren in our present emotional state. Skinner readily agreed to my request for a week off for both of us. And I find myself covering my mirrors."

Faye, Cathleen, "PENTIMENTO"

Pentimento is an art term meaning to obscure what was once there, such as painting a new picture over an older one on a canvas.

Thwarted plans, impulsive decisions & unexpected visitors can sometimes make two FBI agents into regular people. Rated PG13. (94 K)

Feldman, Ensign, "THE MONEY SHOT" (offsite link)

"Mulder was convinced that the only real deviation from the standard bomber profile was the addition of artistic and/or sexual frustration, which may be the source of the bomber's destructive agenda. Perhaps a severe lack of social skills or a disfiguring injury, although the precipitating event may have been ten to fifteen years previous to when the bombing began. The bomber seemed to go out of his way to inflict only property damage, a pattern that may or may not continue, but which suggested that the bomber would likely have no prior arrests and therefore no prints on file." Rated NC17. Casefile, humor.

Fortune, Julie, "FATA MORGANA" | Part 1, Part 2

Haynes, Anne, "ACROSS THE RUBICON"

"Mulder unbuckled his seat belt and leaned toward her. 'His pattern suggests tonight's the night, and his fantasy has escalated to a point that I don't think a little entourage of FBI agents will be enough to stop him, now that he thinks he's won this round. Within the next hour, he's going hunting.' He closed the distance between them and kissed her chin. 'Can you'" still see him?" Rated PG-13. (28 k)

Howard, Rachel, "POINT OF ORIGIN"

"He has us lie down, side by side on the cots, and roll our sleeves up. This procedure will not be as painful for Mulder as some of the others have been. After they found residue from the alien organisms in his body fluids, we reasoned that perhaps the residue alone would be enough. So I have had Mulder's blood and platelets - thank God he's type O - injected into my body more than once. It was only last week that they first hypothesized the necessity of fresh residue; thus, the patient-to-patient transfusion." Rated R. (82 K)

JLB, "ONLY IN DREAMS"

"Even though he's tried to keep a safe distance between them all evening, even though he's worried for weeks about being distracted by Scully, it angers him that she can reduce everything to the question of his health, that she isn't " Rated PG-13. (35 k)

Khyber, "PEACE BE UPON HIM"

"We both know this, of course. If it takes us five years of cancer, cancermen, flukes, and flukemen to get to the point where we know this, maybe it will only take another two or three of white-black-Muslim-Asian-Christian supremacists and mad haters for one of us to look up from our desk at the other and say, fuck this, let's get married and buy a goddamn pig farm." Rated NC17. (19.8 K)

Marguerite, "ELI ELI"

"I turned back to my own plate. The fresh eggs were a delicacy after makeshift campfire meals in Africa and drive-throughs at home. Burger Death, I remembered Charlie saying when we were little, and I grinned around the forkful of fluffy omelette. Mulder cut his eyes at me, smirking, and nudged me with his elbow." Post-Amor Fati. Rated R. (45 K)

Meredith, "BOUNDLESS"

"Mulder's complete and utter paralysis had been a shock. She expected rage. Joy. Confusion. Hell, even Kubler-Ross' 5 stages of death and dying. But not this... this absence. This boundless expanse of nothingness." Rated R. (31 k)

Meredith, "BRAVE NEW WORLD"

Mulder is abducted. Scully remains behind, searching.

"Rice Krispies. Cheerios. Fruit & Fiber. Count Chocula. Malt-O-Meal. If she were back in D.C., the decision would be easy. Frosted Mini-Wheats, bite-size, then on to the canned soup.

"But Scully seemed to have used up all her decisiveness in the flurry of packing, moving, and settling into her new apartment in Portland, because the simple task of picking a breakfast cereal was currently an exhausting decision. Had there always been this many brands? The past week had been a whirlwind of change. Waiting 72 hours for the results of chorionic-villus sampling to tell her what she already knew -- the child she carried was purely hers and Mulder's. Plowing through all Mulder's files on abductions to digest the statistics and plan her next move. Convincing Skinner that moving here temporarily was the best thing for her now. Running away, in all actuality, from her former life." Rated PG. (42 K)

Meredith, "SHOW OF STRENGTH"

"What a cruel fate to hate the way you look. To despise the mudded, rusty hair, the brittle-cool gaze, the ivory skin -- you're not beautiful when you're just an imitation of the almighty Her. A pale carbon-copy. A flawed mirror image. When it gets too bad, I take a swing at myself. " (51 K)

Morgan, "THE LAST GIFT" (off-site link)

The damage even a deception made out of love can create, the importance and resurrection of hope, and the journey back from the edge of despair. Strong R for language, violence.

Nascent, "METAROMANCE"

"Mulder recounts the experiences that led up to Antarctica. 'She's sleeping now, still and peaceful, as collected in repose as she is when firing a gun. Me--I can't get comfortable; I'm fidgetting and casting her glances which are alternatively stern and pleading, wishing she would wake. I keep settling for making noises--'accidental' scrapes of chair legs on tile, coughing, washing my hands again. Like some kind of fucking OCD case, as if I didn't have something better to do. Oh wait!--I don't."' Rated R.

Nascent, "MULDER, IT'S MAY"

Scully figures out a correlation between the time of the year, and the Agents' luck. "May. What was special about May? He tried to think of some special date and felt (to his extreme discomfort) like a man who may have forgotten his anniversary. Finally he just shook his head at her and turned his palms up. She'd have to give him more than that." Rated PG13.

nevdull, "AUDIENCE OF ONE, AN"

Storytime with a tough crowd. Rated PG. (13.6 K)

nevdull, "THANK YOU, DRIVE AROUND"

"Radio off, windows up, conversation non-existent, the agents drove in silence. As thoughtlessly as he normally took the wheel, Mulder had thrown Scully the keys, perhaps as a peace offering. Maybe if he'd done it on his knees, she thought, gripping the wheel." Rated PG. (16K)

Nicole, Maria, "BRIDGE"

"It was starting to wear off already, he knew, this abnormal closeness that had developed between them while they were trapped in the giant mushroom. In a few days, he and she would be back in their separate bodies and minds, and the memory of their shared hallucinations would fade. He had expected her to ignore the residual closeness until it had passed, until the drug wore its way out of their system." Rated PG-13. (124K)

Ocks, Maureen B., "CLUB CAR LOUNGE"

"I think she's playing with me. I hope she is. 'I just...are you happy?' The waiter, who gives a new meaning to bad timing, comes back to check on drinks. I order another beer since this is probably going to be a long night. Scully is at least happy with her scotch. " Rated R (21 K)

Ocks, Maureen B., "OFFICE POLITICS"

"Right before I got sick, I was sitting in Mulder's office behind his desk. He seemed surprised to see me behind it. He really looked out of place when he plopped into the guest chair. He thought it was about the desk, but it wasn't. On some level I guess I knew I was sick. On another, I saw pieces of Mulder's office, of Mulder's life creeping into mine. I saw nothing in that office that suggested I was ever there. Nothing. In hindsight, I was dying, I spent 4 years with the X Files and I thought I never made a mark. " Rated R. (20 K)

Ocks, Maureen B., "PASS FAIL" (offsite link)

The night after IVF failed.

Ocks, Maureen B., "POCATELLO"

"I watched her today read the riot act to Jimmy John about screwing around with chemicals he could barely pronounce. She was in rare form. She got to use some of her vast medical knowledge to explain to Jimmy John what Anthrax would do to him, his well fed heifer and about half of Pocatello. " Rated R. (20 K)

Ocks, Maureen B., "SCENARIOS"

"Forget that it just isn't her. Forget that if she did, I'd probably actually have a moment of gentleman zen and ask her why she was doing it. Forget that right after this happened, Satan would be handing out Polartec Mittens because hell had officially frozen over. It was a nice fantasy, complete with visual aides from our first case together that made it work. " Rated R. (20 K)

Ocks, Maureen B., "WORST" (offsite link)

"Much of the time, I think Dana Scully is the smartest woman, skip that, person I've ever met. There are other times I'm convinced she's absolutely clueless. I'd ask her if she remembered that my desire to quit my life in general and the FBI in particular lessened when I started meeting with her again but then we get back on abductions, cancer and the rest. 'We'll get it back. Spender's not up to the job.' "

Ocks, Maureen B., "WOVEN DEEP"

Mulder on the mend after the events of Sixth Extinction. They talk about his visions, and discuss their evolving relationship. " How does she go from 'our son' to being surprised by 'we'? 'Dammit, you seem stuck on this imaginary family I had with Diana. I'm not marrying Diana. I'm not sleeping with her. I'm not going to be the father of her children. I never thought I'd be the father of anybody's children until you asked me and I haven't wanted anything else since you asked.' " Rated PG13 (50 K)

Oracle, "IT IS"

"Only he sees the signs. From the muted terror of the first night, she knows it's started again, and the terror only grows. Of course, she never tells him. This is the way she is. But he knows, from less smiles and clouded eyes. He knows, from her tone of voice, from the way she touches him. Even the way she eats ice cream is a sure sign. He watches her do this, every day. During good times, she turns the spoon upside down to savour the taste. In the bad times, she barely notices she's eating. Her lack of interest in what she usually takes pleasure in, yes; this is the surest sign of all." Rated R. (9 K)

Revely, "IN THE NIGHT SEASON"

Sabine, "BODY PARTS"

"He sits down now, across from her. Something about his neck has gotten old, older, ruddy, stretching up beyond his tie. She recognizes him in it, coming up on forty and the truth revealed between strong chest and strong chin. There are bumps there above his Adam's apple, razor-burn, the chickenflesh of the no-longer-young. She averts her eyes and takes a bite of watercress on wheat with fat-free mayo." Rated G. (7 K)

Khyber, "EL DORADO BONES"

Oracle, "OUTSIDE/INSIDE"

Come to think of it, he hasn't even mentioned Peter's name." Rated R. (37 K)

I laughed despite myself. 'His father was an optometrist,' I said. 'He's an internist in New York; NYU Medical Center.'

Mulder spat a shell at me. 'Fine, don't tell me,' he said.

'It's not a big deal, really,' I said, possibly lying. 'He was a friend of mine in college. *Not* a boyfriend.'

An intrepid detective pursues the fugitive Mulder and Scully, discovering more than she bargained for in the process.

Vehemently, "NAVEL-GAZING"

"There are lots of things he wants which are forbidden. He has learned to live with the strictures, or so he thinks. A shake, like a mongoose swishing dust out of its pelt, and our man notices that his thumb has come to rest in his belly button, feeling out the contours of that never-callused skin. He knows that silken feel of scars; he has touched it a hundred times, tentatively at first, later brusquely, in the keloids which stripe his shoulder. Scar tissue, softer skin than the real thing. He pulls his thumb loose and goes so far as to wipe in on his thigh, irritated at himself. " Rated R. (36 K)

Wintersong, "BLOOD-STAINED BANNER"

"It was, he thought morosely, sort of like the homosexual telling the hetero that it was okay to be gay. No bloody credibility. Mulder could spout his scripture to the people and the congregation would nod their heads gamely, give rousing cheers of support and maybe throw a little money in the collection plate. But that's as far as it would go. Because in the end, Mulder was one of them and he was preaching to the converted. But Scully belonged to the masses. " Rated R. (8 K)

Reverly, "THE UNFINISHED UNIVERSE"

Sasserbaum, Cecily, "OPPOSITION AND SYNTHESIS"

"Dream-Mulder had laughed, made a counter-argument, an argument laid out with beautiful precision. It was irritating, because she could almost accept such an argument.

Tess, "DEBROUILLER"

"Glancing up, he saw Scully and William watching from the window. Charmed by the image they made framed in the window, Mulder stopped the car and gazed up at his family.

LIFE WITHOUT MULDER

Mulder is dead, not missing.

Alanna, "ETIOLATE"

"Doggett had been right: she had lost her edge. She had unknowingly slipped into depression, its hold dulling her senses and smudging the tactical defense skills she had learned at Quantico and honed to a sharp blade over the years. A year ago, she would never have trailed a suspect into a closed space such as this without properly securing backup." Rated PG. (13 K)

McKibben, Joyce, "REVENANT" (offsite link)

"Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. I am the sword which shall deliver that vengeance. For this alone I endure the stench of my rebirth. I am more than half earth now. The long weeks of immersion have blurred the distinctions between flesh and earth. My bones are rocks buried deep within the earth; adamantine with the anger that burns within my soul."

Parsons, Sarah Ellen, "THE CROUCHING THING"

"It was skulking now near the garage, and she could see why. Walter was coming home from the store and an orange juice run, pulling his car inside. The sight of Walter always seemed to drive it mad, and it was slavering and clawing on the siding, bloodying itself in its impotent rage. That was mostly what it was, helpless rage, trapped somehow nearby her in a horrifying, twisted shape. She could sense its rage whenever she drew near. She liked to keep it out of the house and tried to do so by ignoring it, no matter what it did, and lighting candles. She didn't know if the candles helped, but they helped her to feel better, anyway." Rated PG. (32 K)

Sasserbaum, Cecily, "OPPOSITION AND SYNTHESIS"

Bugs, "WHEN I DREAM, I DREAM OF WHITE HORSES" (offsite link)

"Reality and rationality have been my touchstones all these years, in the face of so much that can't be easily explained. Now, in Africa, under this sun that burns away reason, confronted by the scratches on this object, they have slipped away from me like slick, moss-covered pebbles through my fingers. I think that's why I've begun to hear him. I needed his grounding. Probably out of loneliness more than anything else, I started talking to him in my thoughts. And one day, he answered." Scully's spell-binding account on her experiences in Africa, and her telepathic connection with Mulder.

Caldwell, Paige, "DREAM WITHIN A DREAM"

Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream? Rated R. (32.7 K)

Hearne, David, "JUMPING OVER THE FIRE"

"The mantis watched Scully with its colorless eyes. It stood before her on its lower four legs, giving Scully a underview of its ten-foot body. She could have spent all day admiring the patterns of deep green, light green, white, blue and purple which stretched from its wide thorax to its thinner trunk. However, Mantis was not to be kept waiting. Those knife-like forelegs were tensed for action and the jaws were tight.

" 'Where is Mulder?'" Rated R. (32 K)

KatyBlue, "INCLEMENCY OF SKY"

Both Mulder and Scully reflect in liquid environments. "Congealed and concentrated, his heartbeat has slowed to a sluggish but tenacious turnover. The lub and dub of its valves snapping closed is a leaden, dragging accompaniment to his dull-witted stupor." Rated PG-13. (32 K)

Kestabrook, "A CHRISTMAS PERIL"

Mulder is visited by ghosts of his past as he lays dying.

"Look." Jack sighed and held up the handcuffs. "See these? They're what I wore during my life, but I never realized it until I didn't have life anymore. I was a guy who knew what he wanted. A cop who loved the job and devoted himself to it. And you know what? I missed out on a whole bunch of 'could have beens'. Just like you, Mulder. Now I admit, this idea of yours--this vacation with Scully--was good. You might have found some happiness. But what happened? You were willing to delay it for a dead friend? You're willing to give it up now after a few opposing words? You never give up on a case when faced with obstacles. In fact, they intrigue you." Rated PG. (93 K)

Marguerite, "MY LIFE AS AN ONION"

Sabine, "FABLES OF THE RECONSTRUCTION"

"You think I'm some sort of saviour, Scully, and me and my ego couldn't bear to break the news; I'm just some guy who has no idea where he's been these last few weeks; I'm just some guy who remembers nothing but the wet itch of your salty tear on my cheek and waking up sterile on sterile, splayed like some Christ parody, and you know what my first thought was? I'm serious, though I'd never tell you." Rated PG. (8 K)

Sabine, "HERO QUEST OF THE SCIENCE MESSIAH"

"In a bell-tolling moment of reckoning, two from alone perspectives - faith of faith, faith of science (blind alone faith of promised inevitability) - two in the moment met Truth. They met on demand. Circumstance, uninvited, invited the two to truth, together. Heads butting fury they rode in collision: she on foot of deskless body knew bodies, knew the magic method DNA equation of plausible, he, the wielding pursuer knew the unabashed, unembarrassed faith-truth of never-always, the shadow ghost of his own absolute possible. And he knew what he needed. Some value to attach to reason non-being, some credible eyes (what incredible eyes!) of lens to mirror." Rated R. (25 K)

Sabine, "WOOD AND NAILS"

" There is nothing but us, Scully and I. We are not preordained, we are not predestined, and even so, in this enormous world of men we found each other, a colossal global coincidence causing earthquakes in Turkey and Mexico. We shook it up, she and I. We shake it up. And when the dust settles it's just her, and me, in the car, shifting lanes and she reaches down to turn the radio on, quietly, just enough to distract me, just enough to warm us up. Streetlights outside, and night. Cars and children. Wood and nails." Rated R. (21 K)

Satchie, "DANCING WITH MEPHISTOPHILES"

While trying to recapture his past, Mulder jeopardizes his soul. Rated PG. (39 k)

Amperage & Livengoo, "OKLAHOMA"

Athene, "PROFILING MULDER"

"He is a chameleon, a dynamic bundle of contradictions: a littleboy with wide eyes and wonder in every pore. A sad man with theweight of the future of mankind on his heart and his shoulders. A cool, professional agent, competent and perceptive about a person's actions, his motivations, and his guilt. A fashion plate: a gorgeous, remote man with the enticing mixture of leather andfine wool and mint toothpaste and some whispery cologne all wrappedup in a billowing wool overcoat and a lock of dark brown haircurling over one hazel eye. A sleepy, lazy-eyed heat-seeking missilein bed at night, dark and brooding, and just waiting for the righttime to pounce on his prey." Rated PG-13. (7 K)

POST-COLONIZATION

Alloway, "ALL THE MULDERS"

Avalon, "LIGHT THE CANDLE, JOHN"

Rated PG. Character death. (16 K)

CazQ, "THE FURIOUS WINTER"

"The world is uncreated, a sheet of blank paper: purely, coldly white and sterile. Silence presses in on him from every side, a stifling feather blanket weighing heavily on his skin. So much silence; he feels as if the weight of it will cause his skull to crack and cave inwards." Rated R. (26.1 KB)

Ga, "404" (offsite link)

"Scully had never believed in the Y2K bug, nuclear annihilation, or alien colonization; in her reading of Revelations, Armaggeddon could happen, but not in this lifetime. Like the good urban dweller she was, she thought there was no catastrophe great enough to halt the inexorable tide of Chinese-food delivery."

K, Dasha, "BLINDED BY WHITE LIGHT"

Lisby, "VESTIGY"

"I marvel that I am writing to you--that we are allowed to communicate. Back in the Simpleton camp, the day we said good-bye on the train platform, I never thought to see or hear from you again. That would have been a great shame after all we endured together. It snowed here last December (yes, it does sometimes snow in "Helldorado"). That night I was alone in my cot and damned cold. I thought about you, me, Mish, and Snappy on the day the guards told us snow was coming--each of us with our pitiful standard-issue quarter tent, throwing them in together and--voila--instant domicile and instant family. Remember how we--what did Mish call it?--"puppied" for warmth? Good old Mish. When I was assigned to a delivery train, she was in decline. I hope she made it to a ghetto--that " she died somewhat free. " Rated R. (109 K)
