  1. Summary

    If music be the food of love, play on.

    This began as a writing exercise in which I let the songs on my MSR playlist guide my writing, because I needed to stop trying so hard and let myself feel, instead. It turned into something I’m actually pretty pleased with, and now I want to share it with you.

    This is (like all my favorite things) a collection of vignettes. Updates will be irregular and future content is impossible to predict. Who knows what this will end up containing? MSR is certain; smut is likely; purple prose is (evidently) unavoidable. It could be AU; it could be historical; it could be canon-compliant. The one thing I can say for sure is that it will be totally mine and completely human, because fuck AI.

  3. Summary

    I can’t say with certainty where we’ll end up (together or separately).

    But for now, these chapters are manifesting as little explorations of Mulder and Scully’s internality within each episode, usually accompanied by a little off-screen vignette, before or after.

    Though I’m writing these because I’m compelled to do so, I hope that you enjoy them! That would be lagniappe.

    Summary

    “How do you remove a badly wounded corpse from a small scene without leaving a shred of forensic evidence?”
    It sounded like the lead-in to a truly tasteless joke. Scully looked again at the locked car and then again at him, and in her distraction seemed to forget that her hand was still tucked over his.
    “That’s easy,” Scully said after a beat. Then, leaning into him so the state trooper wouldn’t get any ideas—lest he think they were, oh, spooky, maybe—she snapped her fingers. “You just use your tractor beam.”

    While tracking a slow-moving set of cases sharing nothing but the inexplicable lack of a body, Mulder and Scully find themselves suddenly trapped at the dead center of a phenomenon that threatens to separate them for good.

    Casefile, yearning, perfect characterization, all the angst. And beautiful prose.

    work, crime, lover, law, life. just like there are many connotations of the word "partner," there are many connotations of a partnership. nobody knows this better than them.

    Summary

    Some people get marriage proposals, vows of eternal love. Mulder and Scully get forever threatened grimly, at the cost of everything else they’ve ever known or loved, in the back of a stranger-danger van ferrying them to an undisclosed location.

    After Mulder and Scully's investigation of a Wiccan farm and retreat center reveals that a series of "ritual murders" were in fact committed by an organized crime ring, they're forced to go first into hiding under FBI protection and then into the federal witness protection program. An exploration of how they grieve, adjust to living together, heal, and slowly begin to build a new life.

    Summary

    Five years later, I finally got around to posting these fics to AO3.
    The origin of the first chapter was a request by the wonderful @wtfmulder for first date fic. The second chapter arose when certain readers insisted I couldn't just fade to black on a potential sex scene.
    The title of both chapters come from the Gettysburg Address, which I have included in the end notes.
