S3 Rewatch - Fic Recs
Need something to distract you between calls from your partner who’s off hunting killer cockroaches with someone else - someone named Bambi?? I often assume, unless it’s clearly indicated otherwise, that fics are set in season 3, so I’m actually surprised I don’t have more fic from this era bookmarked. It’s the quintessential partnership era for me, and it’s fun both to live in that, and to see what might be the catalyst for their relationship to change:
This House Is Burning by Tesla - three part casefile about the fallout of an undercover assignment tracking a serial killer
We’re Married Now by Skinfull- undercover married casefile goodness, NSFW
Baseball Metaphors by @leiascully - fake dating, an all time fave, NSFW
12 Rites of Passage / 12 Degrees of Separation by Anne Haynes - not set during season 3, but a really interesting mytharc story written during the very early seasons
The Magician Series by Suzanne Bickerstaffe and Jennifer Lyon - fantasy AU, Mulder and Scully travel to another universe. One of the first fics I remember reading as a young X-phile.
Option 3 by Khyber - Halloween stakeout, NSFW. "Ish Hallowee' nigh', you're 'itting there 'ressed like 'Hadonna," Mulder chomped down on the candy muffling his speech, "we're going out to talk to a woman who claims she can control ghosts, and you're talking to me about professionalism?"
The Longest Way Around Is The Shortest Way Home by Apostrophic - a lovely little fic about Scully moving apartments within her building
Gold and Silver by @dreamingofscully - Scully does something spontaneous to honor her sister’s memory.
Fortune Cookie by Minuete - Mulder and Scully discuss a potential X-file case over Chinese takeout. Queequeg just wants Mulder’s food.
Like Mother, Like Son and Birthday Dinner with Boy Mulder by @lotzzoforangezoutside - a birthday dinner for Mrs Scully
Love and Bearclaws by @edierone - a verbal slip reveals a deeper truth, so sweet
