X-Files Collector’s Edition: Mulder’s Early or Late Birthdays (Angst)

What are birthdays without angst, especially in the X-Files universe? These birthday fics seem to be a magnet for mixed emotions-- like the rest of Mulder’s life-- and it’s fun to explore the lows he weathers with his supportive loved ones.

I’m grouping these by author in a verrry loose chronological order (but it’s there.)

(**Edit: Added in scully-loves-ruthie’s Fictober Day 13 entry.**)

*cracks knuckles* Here we go!

greycoupon’s Happy Birthday

““Fox Mulder hadn’t wanted a party for his 13th birthday. Sam was gone and his family was a mess. There didn’t seem to be much to celebrate. But his mother had actually come out of her room, where she spent all her time now “resting”, to suggest it. She seemed the most alive he’d seen her since it had happened when she was making plans. She was smiling and even though she was still doped up with tranquilizers, as she was constantly these days, for a minute Mulder could see his old mom. So he said okay. That was a mistake.””

Mulder had a truly horrific 13th birthday and has avoided celebrating since. Scully and TLG are able to throw him a good one at last.

@syntax6’s (Gossamer, FFN, Omniscribe) Collection of Mulder’s birthdays

Post Shadows Mulder is surprised by Scully’s birthday card and friendship. And also disappointed by how tiny the Liberty Bell is.

Pre-One Breath Mulder is surprised from his mourning by Tena’s call. She answers questions about his birth; but carelessly leaves him with a final sting.

Redux ii Scully is desperately trying not to die on Mulder’s birthday while setting up her death and burial preparations.

Post Unruhe Mulder invites Scully to his birthday bash at TLG’s. She is still skittish, but the group are inclusive and kindly overlook any strange behavior.

These are all amazingly excellent. I pulled this quote because it touches on an aspect that all these stories explore--

““She stretched until she could reach her watch from the nightstand. It read eleven-twenty on October thirteenth. Satisfied, Scully returned the watch to its resting place and drew her hands back under the blankets.

She had one mission left: don't die today.

"Mom? Can you do me a favor?" Her mother came to stroke her hair.

"Anything, baby."

"Could you please go to the gift shop and pick out a birthday card? It's Mulder's birthday today.”"

@lokisgame’s (Ao3) 33

““We've got time," she replied calmly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.””

Pre- One Breath Mulder’s happy birthday dream is dashed when he wakes to a world without Scully.

Jennifer Maurer’s There’s Still Nobody Home

““Once he snuck upstairs to her office and put a post-it note on the picture of her sister on her desk, then waited for hours in the parking garage.

You never know, that might be the magic charm to bring her back.””

Pre- One Breath Mulder is slowly deteriorating: he fails to keep his plants alive, fails to keep himself from sobbing on Frohike’s shoulder, fails to connect to Maggie-- all while blindly failing himself.

Juliett’s

All I Want for Christmas

““He had done everything he knew to do and now he pled.

And October 13th had come and gone with nothing, nothing for him. At least, nothing that he wanted.””

Pre- One Breath Mulder is having a ROUGH birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Pleas and hands of mercy cannot give him what he wants or allow others to pull him from gloom.

Mulder’s Birthday

““Fox Mulder glanced at his watch and sighed. Almost time. Any minute now his partner would be giving him the look that said it was time to go home.

But he didn't want to go home.

After all, who wanted to spend a birthday alone?””

Post Paper Clip Scully surprises Mulder with a birthday dinner and mini sculpture. Maggie gifts him Melissa’s pendant.

Erin M. Blair’s

You Can’t Change History

““I would have been doing exactly what Bill's trying to do to me. He's sizing me up before getting the chance to know me. I know it's not fair, but I can understand him.”"

Season 2 Bill tries to intercept Scully from celebrating Mulder’s birthday with him. Mulder resignedly understands; but is happy Scully won’t leave.

Anonymous/RebeccaRusnak’s (Mulders Creek) Lament

(**note: I THINK Anonymous is Rebecca Rusnak, but who knows? I just have to trust my past-self’s judgment.**)

““Fox."

Mulder stirred as the honey-smooth voice washed over him. He started as the velvety-soft hand touched his shoulder. He opened his eyes and stared, astonished, at his mother.

"Mom," he croaked...””

Post Herrenvolk Mulder is alone for his birthday. He trudges back to Quonacatog to seep in his dark memories... until Tena (called Margaret here) shows up, and the two actually have a heartfelt bonding session, marshmallows included.

@aloysiavirgata’s (Ao3, Gossamer, WayBackMachine, LiveJournal, Alt.)

Unnamed Post Unruhe

““It’s been two days since she was with Schnauz.

Two days since the howlers in him tried to claim her.

Two days since Mulder had killed a man.

Post Unruhe Scully had called his cell, his apartment, and the Gunmen before chancing a visit to the basketball court near his apartment. He was there, trash-talking and dribbling in the crisp October air.””

Mulder leaves his birthday bball game to offer comfort to a rattled Scully.

By Falling In and In 5/5

““He used to wear horrible ties," Scully tells her son. "Really awful ones. So if he ever gets a job where he has to wear them, you and I are going to pick them out." "My ties were not that bad," Mulder says. "They were refreshing. And besides, this is coming from the Queen of Shoulder Pads?" Scully hits him with a pillow and William shakes his head. "You guys are so weird.””

Mulder’s birthday-- a clock from Will and elated dancing with Scully-- is halted by CSM and his rescue mission to save them from Colonization.

@crescentmoon223′s The Realm of Extreme Possibility

““He never should have brought her out here today. He’d truly thought—for once—it would be a nice trip to the forest, a fun hike as they tracked the Goatman.

A piercing shriek split the night, and Scully went rigid in his arms. It sounded like a woman screaming in terror. That grave looked like it had been here for years, but what if…””

Post Redux ii Mulder’s birthday trip to the forest-- to hunt the Goatman-- is derailed when Scully gets “deja vu” (her denial-word for visions) about visiting these woods before... and they find a corpse with an identical necklace to hers.

Summer’s Conspiracy Not Included

““We've been swarmed by pre-historic bugs, attacked by genetic mutants, and tied up by Satanic schoolteachers, Mulder. It was only a matter of time before we got a flat tire." Scully slammed the trunk shut, draping the sweatshirt from her overnight bag over her head.

"Yeah, but you'd think with all those big catastrophes, the odds would be on our side for little things like flats."

"You call a five-mile walk in this rain a little thing?" Scully fumed.

Her partner regarded her with a mixture of affection and fear.””

S2 Scully’s secret plans for Mulder’s birthday are almost derailed by his many misshaps while trying to drive them back to airport. Not so much angst as shooting himself in the foot.

Pattie’s Enhanced

““Mulder, what happened to your scalp? There's... there's a shaved spot with what look to be sutures. Mulder?"

"What?" He passed his fingers over his head. He felt his cool fingertips on the back of his head, left side, about three inches from the crown.””

S6 Mulder, TLG, and a Harvard doctor do something incredibly stupid. And, of course, he forgot what.

Folieadeux’s Love Obsessional

““Throwing herself into the shadow of the building, she realizes she doesn't know how long she's been attacking Fox's car. She looks at her watch and is stunned to see that it has only been 15 minutes. It feels like a lifetime.””

S6 or S7 Mulder has a stalker in time for his birthday. Her worsening behavior almost stops when served with a restraining order... until her jealousy of Scully overcomes her remaining bits of reason.

Avalon’s Celebration

“"Well, what's the big deal?" I ask, starting to get a little exasperated. I just don't see why she should be so concerned. "Maybe it's somebody's birthday, and someone in the bullpen brought it down here for you. You weren't here, so they left it. End of story."

She looks at me, the brow above her right eye arching in that definitive Scully look that she gets right before she pins you, squirming, to the wall. "Did they pull out Mulder's case file for me and leave it there, too?"“

Doggett is frustrated that Scully is fixated on a mysterious cupcake and an opened file. When he understands, he formulates an out-there explanation that honors Scully’s skepticism and Mulder’s memory.

**The below fics take place after Existence, which is where I usually end in my own headcanon. HOWEVER, these fics can’t help their lineage, so I’ve decided not to hold that over their innocent heads.**

XSketch’s Birthday Arrival

““...but days like this seemed to emulate his low resolve so closely that it made everything that much more painful; days like this brought back so many memories of standing beside her under an umbrella on some case or another that the ache to be home where he belonged only deepened that much more.

...Those things, and the fact that today was October 13th...””

S9 Mulder gets a birthday email from Scully while in New Mexico. However, it takes a surprise gift to finally banish his depressed mood.

@greekowl87’s Friday the 13th

““It worked. They made it work.

But still, there was always a nagging feeling in the back of his mind.””

IWTB-era Mulder and Scully have settled into life at the Unremarkable House; but Mulder sinks into despair when she leaves early without a word.

Lolabeegood’s (Mulder’s Creek) Laundry Day

““Banana Republic" he muttered to himself and shook his head.

Scully was at it again. Ordering clothes online for a man who never went anywhere.””

Pre-IWTB Mulder’s leisurely day is halted by the arrival of a FedEx truck. Hints of his developing depression seep through when Scully has to remind him of his own birthday.

@scully-loves-ruthie‘s Unnamed Fictober Day 13

““I could make a cake,” She offered wrapping her arms around his waist from behind.

“I don’t want you to do that Scully. It’s just another day.” He shimmies out of her embrace headed toward the office, his pajama pants dragging on the hardwood offering a stark contrast to her work heels.””

Mulder considers his birthday just another day-- which isn’t a bad thing.

Ahhhh, a job well done. Well, well-- that’s all for now!

Enjoy!

Hello! Some time ago I asked for a fanfic about Scully traveling through time, thank you very much for helping me find it. I would like to make a recommendation of a VERY good fanfic that I read by chance in ao3 (they deleted it not long ago ;_;) It's called Novus Ordo Seclorum and it's kind of a post-col that happened in the 2000s. Where Scully is used as a maid and breeder, and Mulder is a slave (It has strong scenes). The fic is based on Mulder finding Scully with the help of Krycek(continue)

Novus Ordo Seclorum by Rebecca Rusnak is an X-Files fic from 1998 and is archived at a number of places online even if it is not at AO3. I think I read it many years ago but am not sure. If it sounds interesting after @lunii-hrvtz's rec, people should check it out! Here's its summary again: The Date has come. In a post-Project world, mankind has been enslaved and largely silenced. For over three years Scully has existed in a dark netherworld of slavery. Voluntarily entering this hell, Mulder goes in search of her.

Also, the fic I recced before by this author is Way Through the Woods by Pellinor and Rebecca Rusnak. Its summary: Three months ago, someone noticed something unusual about Scully. Now, in a desperate attempt to stave off the inevitable, Mulder has disappeared, and Scully’s only chance of finding him include an unlikely ally and an untrustworthy informant. As they make their way through the woods, can Mulder and Scully find each other, or is the future lost?

X-Files Collector’s Edition: Meet The Mulders

Mulder’s childhood is only touched on briefly in the series; but it’s enough: stern, cold handshakes and cool, unanswered questions with a silencing slap to punctuate. These fics dive into the Mulder family dynamics as it rips horrifically in half. (A separate post shall be made for fics that deal exclusively with Bill Mulder, Tena Mulder, or Samantha Mulder.)

**Note: I spell Teena as “Tena” because that was how it was spelled in a Two Fathers/One Son script, and if that’s what Chris Carter wants... *shrugs*.*)

I attempted to keep these in “chronological order by author”’; but-- c’est la vie.

(Gossamer links are acting weird, but they’re worth the extra step to read.)

Childhood and Pre-S1 Fics

Dryad’s (Ao3)

Bird Song

““Is he asleep yet?" Bill asked, peering over her shoulder.

She smiled. "Almost. He's so tired he can barely keep his little peepers open, but he keeps trying nonetheless.””

A look at new, proud parents. Lullabies and newspaper clippings.

2790 Vine St. (Gossamer)

“Fox idly kicked the settle's bottom panel, unable to decide which was worse, staying at home or going to the party.”

The parties of polite society in the wake of Sam’s abduction are empty, vapid, torturous. Mulder observes the party, disconnected without a tangible anchor.

Though It Be Winter, Still Our Heart Beats

“She was a different woman now. Only the faint pinking of her cheeks and the subtle flare of her nostrils betrayed her emotion.

"Bill, you promised!" As always, he was helpless in the face of her anger.”

Mulder has joined the FBI, and Bill dreads telling Tena. Both begin to plot how to derail their son from his goal.

pokeitlikejello’s Baby Loves Pain

“He tried everything to calm her. He made faces, he made funny noises, he tickled her. But nothing worked. It was then that Fox spotted his father’s fishing boots and hat near the hall closet.”

Little boy Mulder is left to watch after toddler Samantha. This short shows his touchingly sacrificial nature. The adult tensions build quietly in the background.

muldertorture’s (Alt. Ao3, FFN) Chilmark MA 02535

“Fox looks like an average young man.” A beat. “Looks, however, are quite often deceptive, aren’t they Teena?”

Tena begs for assurances from CSM while he observes Mulder and Samantha playing. As with CSM, there are no guarantees, and plans always change.

@leiascully’s (Ao3) Armada

“But the boat sailed on, one of so many, beyond his reach.”

As so often with neglected children, Mulder’s zest for play takes a macabre turn as he seeks attention from his already disconnected mother. Tena’s nature is one of distance even before Samantha’s abduction.

MistressKat’s Summer of ‘73

“Something about Fox’s expression shifts and softens; he knows exactly what she’s talking about. Over the last few weeks, they’ve spent a lot of evenings huddled together on the landing, listening to their parents fighting in hushed voices.”

Samantha wants desperately to escape the mounting weirdness at home. Mulder’s heartfelt promise of “next time” is one he ultimately can’t keep. Tena’s resigned willingness to give up Samantha simmers in the background.

@agirlcallednarelle/Tabith Jean‘s

But You Said (Ao3)

““See? I told you he would come if we needed him!’ Samantha hissed loudly. Fox grinned the same pursed smile he had seen on Samantha a moment before....”

No one likes bullies, and little spitfire Samantha tolerates them even less. She holds her brother to his promise; and is proud when he keeps his word.

Absolution

“His footsteps echo through the hall louder than they did before. Though he never thrived on exuberance, it came as part of the package of having young children, and this new, restrictive silence unnerves him.”

Bill Mulder is hollowly seeking redemption through his work, unable to bridge the gap with his furious wife and troubled, driven son.

Foxsong’s Sins of the Father

“Knowing he would only lose him, Bill had steeled himself from the beginning against loving this child too well, and his reticence toward Fox had been made all the more painfully apparent when Samantha was born. He had loved Samantha with a ferocity that shocked him.”

A twist on the family dynamic: Mulder had been part of the inoculation program from a young age in what was-- Bill had assumed-- prep work for his abduction. When CSM switches up the children, Bill is left floundering: he has no relationship with his son to build, and whatever one he has left with Tena (who is portrayed as the loving glue of their family) will deteriorate if CSM makes good on his threat to tell the truth.

Anonymous/Rebecca Rusnak’s (mulderscreek) Black is the Color

“Bill is my friend, possibly my only true friend. Certainly the only friend who knows who I was. And I know this is dangerous, but I feel a connection to Bill and his family that I cannot force myself to break.”

CSM’s POV-- it’s fascinating to ingest fics posed as sympathetic reads, because it cuts to the heart of this man’s martyr complex. This one is particularly poignant because it mixes in shame from the fallout of the Syndicate’s actions and self-righteous superiority at “filling the hole” left in Mulder’s life. What’s even more fascinating is that CSM isn’t Mulder’s father, just a sympathetic “mentor.”

ijustknew’s Before and After (Tumblr)

“One night, after nearly a month of deafening silence, Mulder’s father announced that Mulder was going back to school. Mulder wanted to protest that he couldn’t bear it, that he couldn’t stand the people and the questions, but his father’s word was law, so Mulder nodded and went to bed.”

Mulder’s status as funny older brother and distinguished student crumbles in the wake of Samantha’s abduction.

@badforthefish/Scarlet’s With Fortune and Men’s Eyes

“She did try to tell herself that she was only being strong for her remaining child, but deep down, she knew the ugly truth: she simply didn’t love her little girl enough to crash and burn.”

A fascinating deep dive into Tena’s POV after Sam’s abduction. Bill, shattered at the loss of his favorite, begins to hate Tena’s unaffected attitude. Tena, glad she kept her favorite, by turns soothes and shuts out her son.

I love this particularly because it taps into my niche XF belief: CSM was Sam’s father, not Mulder’s, and Tena strongly suspected it.

Joann Humby’s Half Life- 1976

“Problems solved are battles won. In retrospect, perhaps it has been for the best. Unable to cling to me, Fox has learned self-reliance, independence, strength. My young man, my pride and joy.”

Tena’s callousness dressed up as gentile unconcern shines like a giant, gaping beacon of selfishness. She is so ingrained in her excuses that she disregards the silent censure of the responsible people around her.

Sarah Johnson/RaEnright’s

How to Catch an Alien 01

How to Catch an Alien 02

““Don't use them fifty-cent words with me, Fox boy. All ye need to say is yer sister's missin and you saw them grey men steal her."

"Yeah." Fox scuffed his shoe. "You think I'm crazy now."

"Not't'all. You come with me, son, and I'll help ye. I seen them grey men too....”

Young Mulder meets an old man in a bookstore; and the two become friends in their quest to gain answers from extraterrestrials. Mulder’s new radio works so well it intercepts a military plane and almost get him in big trouble.

Vickie Moseley’s (Ao3, Gossamer) Consequences (Gossamer link)

“The anger turned to dread. It was the one thing that he'd thought about, the one option he'd taken hours to consider. He couldn't let Fox anywhere near him for longer than the length of a weekend. If the syndicate decided to test him again, this time they would surely go for the boy. ...So he had to keep the boy at arm's length, shuffle him off to his mother, where he'd be safe. At least, that was what Bill prayed he was doing. “

Vickie’s specialty is Mulder hurtfic, not a genre I care much for (and it must be done well.) However! This was quite the character study into the conflicted, tortured mind of Bill. He forgot his weekend, then forgot his son’s birthday, then realized his son was gravely ill. His depth of reined-in heartbreak and failure is explored interestingly.

stellar_dust’s (Ao3) Home for Christmas (Ao3)

“When Teena walked in with her packages twenty minutes later, she couldn't believe her eyes - Fox and Samantha, curled up together beside the Christmas tree, reading. She paused at the door and smiled, watching unseen, on her way upstairs to wrap the last few presents. I'm so blessed, she thought, and turned away, unwilling to disturb them. Now if only Bill weren't working late, everything would be perfect. ~*~ That was the year they got Stratego.”

The long-term effects of Samantha’s loss. Mulder’s happy Christmases devolve into avoidance, and perpetual pain and loss through Pheobe and Diana. Scully and TLG eventually improve his outlook; and even Tena finally sends a gift and an invite, though pitiful and empty. (The fic ends with Mulder telling Scully about his history, but that’s extra reading~. I usually stop after Tena’s death.)

Canon Divergent and AU Fics

Deannie’s Best Loved

“The unspoken threat was unmistakable. They'd already given him his choice--his best loved, or everyone. They'd make good on the threat if he left now. And not only would his son be gone, but his wife and daughter as well... “

A canon-divergent fic starring Bill and Tena being unwitting victims. CSM intercepts the two of them at party and prevents them from saving their children. Bill chooses Tena’s safety above the kids, eventually destroying their marriage.

The story leads up to Bill’s death-- where I like to stop reading-- before it continues into Anasazi plot.

memories_child’s Four Ways Teena’s Life May Have Turned Out Differently

“She wonders, every day, if she made the right decision. And then Samantha calls her name.”

These vignettes-- sought-after socialite to sober wife to sorrowful mother -- work great separately but even better as a whole. It turns canon-divergent after the abduction, since it was Mulder who was taken, not Sam.

@cecilysass‘s (Ao3) The Boy on the Beach (Ao3)

“There was a tightness in Scully’s chest as she watched the boy’s face, the set of his jaw. How could she ever explain why she wanted him to be nothing but endlessly kind to his sister? How could she convey to a twelve-year old boy the brokenness of a thirty-two year old man — a man who would sit on a motel room floor, speaking to his new partner in hushed tones about the defining loss of his life?”

This time travel casefile (set post Amor Fati) quickly derails, trapping Scully in the past. Realizing there is time to save Samantha from being abducted, she travels to Martha’s Vineyard and helps them evade CSM and his goons. Adult Mulder, wracked with guilt over his cruel words in their last fight, reaches her just in time. CSM is finally dealt with, and all’s as well as can be in their universe.

Although the present-day content is canon-divergent (according to my headcanon), and I skip any ~spicy~ adult moments (because that’s not my cup of tea), the intensity of the writing and the character voices is fascinating. Standouts moments were: Scully and the kids hiding in the tree, and Mulder crying over the newest faxed photo.

Most of these fics (and authors) are already well-loved; but they still deserved to be highlighted for their quality and interesting perspectives.

Enjoy!
