X-Files Collector’s Edition: I Want to Be Leaves (Fall Fics)

**Credit to LilyDaleXF’s yearly reblog meme**

Time for fall fics! Apples, markets, changing colors, spicy scents, snappy weather-- and FBI agents sporting layered sweaters and cozy feelings.

May the Fictober season bring upon us more fall fics. All hail the fall fics!

(**Edit: Correcting many, MANY mistakes. And adding more fic!**)

Pattie’s Absconded

““Blow your stack, Scully. But the accounts here of power drainage, water suddenly leaving pools, ponds and reservoirs in 'beams' are all consistent with some sort of aircraft performing some act perhaps you haven't seen, but those people have." He handed another stack of folders to his partner. "Keep reading. And look at the pictures, too. The reports with pictures are always more fun to read. After sunset, we're going out to watch the night sky.””

Early S1 kicks off fall vibes with Scully less-than-enthusiastically helping Mulder investigate a power plant where multiple workers have been seeing UFOs.

Kelly Keil’s (FFN) Only Apples (FFN)

““When he picks her up, she asks again about their destination but he remains mute. With resignation she joins him in the car, prepared for a long journey.

Mulder drives the car further and further from civilization, whistling tunelessly through his teeth. Scully sits beside him, thinking how much she dislikes surprises. Neither speaks.

As the miles fly by, she fingers her old flannel shirt and stares down at her worn boots. Brilliant red and gold trees flash by her window and geese fly south for winter against a vivid blue sky.””

Scully has lost sight of life in the drudgery of the mission. Mulder surprises her with a trip to an autumn orchard, reawakening her passion.

Tinysmolfluff’s Autumn Coffee

““Can we go for a walk? – he asked quietly and she was about to protest that it’s freezing outside, but there was something vulnerable in his eyes, something urgent, so she just nodded and they left the café. They walked away from it, the dry leaves crunching under their shoes, the cold fall air picking at their faces.””

Set after Redux II, Scully is woken up by Mulder, who wants to see her. Both are still vulnerable after her close shave with death.

@mchalowitz’s (Ao3) Free Falling from Branches

““That, over there,” he says, holding out his cup. He nods toward a tree in the distance. “Is that not a perfect, untouched pile of leaves?””

Mulder dumps he and Scully in a leaf pile. Scully loves him but doesn’t make a move... yet.

@wexleresque/hllsteeth’s do you think I’m spooky?

““Scully pauses, thinking. “It’s interesting how nature can make death seem so elegant,””

Scully ponders on death; and both she and Mulder vow (in their own ways) not to leave the other behind.

Erin M. Blair’s Autumn Falls

““She turned to face Mulder, still holding the leaf in her hand. "Mulder," she asked, not yet willing to look at him fully. "Do you remember what you said a few years ago...about how things were going to change for us?”"

AU after The End-- Mulder and Scully observe the fall leaves soon after the burning of their office. Scully recalls his words at the end of Tooms, and both reflect that these changes can be good, too.

@baronessblixen’s (Ao3)

The Sweetest Taste

““They’re quiet, comfortably so, listening to the sound of leaves crunching under their boots. A few new ones fall to the ground, the trees bidding them goodbye.

“It’s beautiful,” Scully says, her voice as magical as the colorful foliage.”“

Mulder takes Scully to Farmer’s Market while gazing. He makes the first move after apple eating, leaf watching, and companionable shopping.

A Day As Sweet As Pie (Ao3)

““I'm in charge of the eggs," William says, pointing at the carton. He's been watching them like a hawk for days, afraid Mulder would use them to make scrambled eggs. That happened last week and William has vowed to never let the eggs out of his sight again.

"You are, egg man," Mulder says and the boy giggles.””

Will is SO excited to make Maggie’s pumpkin pie recipe for her; and his parents help him make up the recipe and keep his impatience at bay.

@skylandmountain1013’s (Ao3) Seasons

““Without warning, Mulder scoops up a pile of leaves and tosses them in her direction. They smell like dirt and rain and crunch as they fall around her feet. Three stick in her hair like a makeshift crown.””

Mulder invites Scully out to fall festival to highlight the new shift in their relationship. Short fluff ensues.

@astridncs’s (Ao3) Lunch Date (Ao3)

““They bought food from the little deli that was near their office. A quaint little place that sold really good sandwiches and salads, and sweet potato pie that has Mulder buy two slices of. He insists the other one isn't for him, but Scully knows better.””

Scully pouts until Mulder agrees to enjoy the outside fall weather. He lends her his coat, and cheekily sets up date (even though they’re already dating.)

@debbierhea/theexfilesbabe/iamalittleonedge’s

Unnamed

““Hey,” he says, and pulls back to look at her. “You okay? I asked what the plan is, G-woman.” She nods conservatively but her eyes give away her excitement.

“Apple picking, G-man.””

Early into their new relationship, Scully is excited to wake Mulder early to go apple picking. Both enjoy teasing each other and pouting playfully.

Unnamed

““The moment she walked up the steps and took a deep breath, turned to him and said, “It’s perfect,” was the moment he realized just how much time they had spent being upset and stressed. She looked ten years younger that day, with a braid hanging over her shoulder.””

Pre-IWTB-- Mulder watches Scully happily sinking into their new domesticity.

@msrafterdark’s (Ao3) Sugar

““He catches the blissful aroma of home as soon as he walks in her door: sugar and cinnamon and vanilla. He had wondered why she’d be calling him in the middle of a Sunday afternoon with a voice of purpose requesting he drop by.””

Scully invites Mulder over for cookies. Both are touched by their first, intentional exchanges of love.

Red’s Autumn

““As the light faded, the air grew colder and the hairs on her arms stood up, goosepimples disturbing the smoothness of her pale skin. A cool breeze bothered a cluster of leaves near her feet, tossing them carelessly around her for several long seconds. Her shadow slowly blended into the grey shadows of the evening, the waning moon gradually rising in the sky and bathing her in milky-white light.””

Set Season 8-- Scully stares at the stars, alone, wondering where Mulder is.

A Baroness Blixen lovely anon

““But Will seems happy with his snails. He shows one to his parents and declare « this one a boy. His name is Will. »””

William and his parents enjoying fall and snails. As they should.

@juniperphoenix’s (Ao3) Autumnal (Ao3)

““Charlie and I used to play in leaf piles when we were little. We pretended we could swim in them.” A pile this size would have seemed an ocean. “Did you ever do that?”

“No, but I used to hide under the leaves so I could spy on people.””

Mulder pounces, buries Scully in leaf pile. Autumn is Scully’s favorite season; and both share their childhood memories.

@avocadoave’s (Ao3) Pumpkin Guts and Other Stuff (Ao3)

““You want to tell me what’s going on?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Mulder, your arms have taken on an orangeish hue from cleaning out so many pumpkins. When I took the garbage out last night there were, I don’t know, 12 mangled ones in the can.””

Set sometime IWTB-- Mulder uses pumpkins to plan his surprise proposal.

@monikafilefan’s (Ao3)

Language of Love - Chapter 13

““You cheated, Mulder. Even so, you’re warm so I’ll let it go.””

Post Revival-- Scully unable to dodge Mulder’s “gotcha”; but is still rewarded with wonderful foot rubs.

Unnamed Prompt

““I know you’d laugh at me and tell me, ‘Dana you should know by now my spirit is not with my body.” But you know me, having a tangible place to visit and talk to you brings me comfort when I really need you. And this time I don’t need my sister to unload my burdens on, this time I want to tell you only good news in person. Today’s a special day.”

She reached out, running her finger along each letter to spell out the word, Melissa.””

Scully visits Melissa’s grave to update her on life and the birth of her daughter. Mulder stealth-surprises her with their napping baby.

@lotsoforangesoutside’s The Season of the Soul

““So, though in his childhood and into his early adulthood, autumn was often defined by that one thing which shaped his personality and his quest, it had been redeemed.””

Mulder’s enjoyment of autumn-- like many things in his life-- was destroyed by the losses he’d received; but having Scully, and now his daughter, to experience it anew reignites his fondness.

ImWatchingTheMagician’s Pumpkin

““Hey hey little bear” Mulder scoops the girl up, before she can release her –almost- 2 year old destructive behavior on Siegel’s pumpkins.””

Mulder and Scully’s have to head-off their precocious toddler from running rampant through a pumpkin patch because of the lofty glare of its farmer.

Enjoy!

Podfic of a story by PeniG. Edna and Mayfair Lil get along very well despite the radical difference in their lifestyles. Queer women have to stick together, after all, even across class lines! But Edna is fed up with Lil's turning down any and every romantic overture from anybody in favor of pining after her mysterious "angel," even before she moves to Soho and figures out who this angel is. No, it's not her business; but she's going to do something about it, anyway.

thelasthomelyurl’s Good Omens fic masterlist

Please excuse some blatant self-promotion. Hi, I’m on AO3 as amerande and I’ve written a handful of Good Omens fics and I thought it’d be good to make a little list of them for your delectation and delight.

All of these are Aziraphale/Crowley-centric.

And I Would Hide My Face In You (E) 9k words, oneshot

Summary: The one where they share a body. Built on the conceit that our favorite demon and angel have gotten very used to the foibles of their fleshy corporations and when Aziraphale gets discorporated, he has cause to remember how different it is without one. Smut: yes! POV: Aziraphale

Excerpt: For a moment, Crowley seemed to chew on that thought, his taut posture unchanging. Then he nodded his head decisively. “Well—why not this one?” he asked. Aziraphale looked around. “This one,” Crowley said again, emphatically, indicating himself. ”Oh! I mean, surely that’s obvious,” said Aziraphale by way of answer.

Review: “They love each other so much, I just can't... handle all the love...” -AO3 user shit_happens_bitchachos7

This Halfway Thing (M) 23k words, multi-chapter

Summary: A hurt/comfort story spanning the last few hundred years before the end of the world, starting with an unexpected encounter that leaves Crowley badly hurt and starting to realize that perhaps things cannot continue as they have always been. Smut: A little tiny bit. Not explicit. POV: Crowley

Excerpt: “Is that all this is, to you? A business arrangement?” Aziraphale answered his question with another one. “Isn’t that precisely what you proposed?” Crowley floundered, caught off-guard. That’s all I thought you would accept, he could not say. That’s all I dared hope for, and more than I deserved. He had thought that just an acquaintance, just a taste, just the barest of connections, would be enough. He’d grown greedy. Hundreds of years of this arrangement, of little conversations and compromises and clandestine meetings, until he’d allowed himself to wish, to let tiny tendrils of hope wind their way around his heart. All things he could not say. This was it: the doom he’d known he’s been consigning himself to when he stayed and let Aziraphale nurse him to health. He’d been starved for so long, and then gorged himself, and now turned up his nose at the scraps that would once have seemed a banquet.

Review: “WTF, I have secondhand pining.” - tumblr user @curlycrowley

he I was seeking, or she I was seeking (it comes to me as of a dream) (M) 2k words, oneshot

Summary: This is a simple oneshot that takes place around 1200 BC; Aziraphale is at a wedding to give a blessing and runs into Crawly, who is a woman at the time. Features genderqueer/genderfluid Crowley using she/her pronouns. This is a significant departure from the writing style of the other fics. Smut: Not explicit, heavily poetic. As a fun note, I tried to keep references to Crowley’s body configuration phrased in such a way that you can pick what set of genitals you think Crowley should have for this. POV: Aziraphale

Excerpt: They talk, and she brings him wine, and he places dates, raisins, and apricots on a plate for her. He laughs when she shares half of each with him. They are sweeter, coming from her hand—sweeter still is the brush of her fingers against his lips. He shares wine from his own cup; her lips meet it like a kiss and she drinks deeply. As he watches her, the glint of her golden eyes, the flash of her teeth when she talks, the dance of light on the angles of her strong face, he feels sated beyond any need for food or drink. There is something like a hunger, but it is instead a fullness which might overwhelm him if he lets it.

Review: “This was gorgeous. So atmospheric and tender.” -AO3 user juniperphoenix

The Second Coming of the Apocalypse (G) 3k words, oneshot

Summary: This one’s weird! Buckle in for some theological angst and one idiot’s stab at interpreting how the whole God thing and Ineffable Bureaucracy could work out. Smut: no! There is hand-holding though. POV: Omniscient narrator who dotes on Crowley

Excerpt: God turned Her attention to the angel. MY AZIRAPHALE. “Almighty,” he choked. Well, he had asked three years ago for a chance to speak directly to the highest authority. It seemed his opportunity had arrived. GABRIEL CALLS YOU FALLEN, She said. “I rather think that Gabriel and I disagree on some fundamental points of theology,” he said as delicately as he was able. THEOLOGY? “It’s a human term,” he explained. “For the study of...You. And what You mean for the rest of us.” Silence. “Not what You meant, of course,” Aziraphale said apologetically. “You see, I think Gabriel said that because he believes that in working against the orders he was working under, I must have been doing the wrong thing. Which, you know, an angel can’t do...at least not if they’re going to stay an angel.” Silence. “It’s just that I thought that maybe orders calling for the destruction of the world and all the life in it might be worth...questioning.”

Review: “[jumps up on the table] GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!” -twitter user stabletorus

The Angel of Eastgate: A Prologue (T) 10k words, multi-chapter

Summary: The fic that started it all (for me). My first entry into the GO fandom, which started with the thought “hahaha that sign says Eastgate, what if Aziraphale lived there” and then turned into a study of why our beloved angel is so damn angsty. Written with copious footnotes. Smut: No but there is yearning. POV: Aziraphale

Excerpt: Aziraphale had always clung to the Ineffable Plan, to the knowledge that everything would eventually work together for Good. Until Crowley had influenced him, given him this thirst to know, it had been enough that the Plan existed and that the Almighty knew its every turn. She knew the particulars, and She passed what knowledge was needed unto her closest servants, and eventually Aziraphale’s orders would reach him, and as long as he followed them, everything would be okay. The possibility which Crowley had planted in his mind—that he, the principality Aziraphale, might take actions and not just hope that they were insignificant enough to escape notice (as with The Arrangement) but actually pursue the dictates of his own conscience—was deeply compelling. It was also, of course, entirely heretical.

Review: “This is special. And your footnotes are hilarious.“ -AO3 user Katzamboni

I’ll update with more as I write them!

Fandom Stocking!

Finally it's weekend again and as soon as I had an actual day off I slept most of the day away, of course. Apparently I really needed that after trade show and then a crazy week in an half-empty office. ^^; And now I'm catching up with all the super awesome fannish stuff and noticed that this is seriously late! This was such an amazing fandom_stocking year! :) Just look at all the amazing, shiny things I found in my stocking: juniperphoenix made me podfic of my fic "Glowing" (Doctor Who, Ten/Jack) and it is really amazing :) muccamukk wrote me a Marie Curie/Sara Lance foc for Legends of Tomorrow - wheeeee! Sara and all the historical ladies is so great, but this is something that I didn't know I wanted until I read it. shopfront wrote me an amazing Clark Kent/James T. Kirk fic - that's something I've been addicted two since I picked up that pinch hit this summer and wrote two fics for the pairing and now of course it's so damn RARE john_amend_all wrote me old school Who Tegan/Nyssa with sex pollen and it's delicious @laireshi wrote me Doom/Tony!!!!! Never enough of that! @einheriar wrote me a fantastic 1872 Steve/Tony ficlet that manages to have all the things I love about that mini-series And then I was lucky enough to receive another of my new-ish crossover ships, because the amazing @tinctoriawoad created some Diana/Peggy art for me *_* fififolle recced me some of her Hal/Hotspur fic knowmefirst made me a banner for my Pepper/Tony ficlet "Scared" dunderklumpen recced me Sherlock Holmes fic - that I haven't gotten around to reading yet, but that I'm very excited for auroracloud wrote me a Jack/Martha fic! God, that pairing! There is also nowhere enough of it themisto made me super cute Superbat art! Honestly look at Clark's face! :D babiafi left me Gotham Jim/Alfred drabble tarlanx gave me Grimm icons And annariel made me a banner for my Jack/Doctor fic The Museum at the Centre of the Universe Also thank you to everyone who left greetings and well wishes! These are also very much appreciated! :) So, yeah, wow! Look at the length of that list! I don't think I've ever received this much for fandom stocking and not in so many different fandoms either! This was honestly an amazing year. You should check out the AO3 collection, because the quality of fanworks was also high across the board. I'm also amazed that despite starting late and despite of writing at least five of these in a hotel room between breakfast and running to the exhibition center in Vieanna I managed to write 12 things - most of them short, short ficlets, but anyway! 12! I would not have managed if reveals had been on time though, haha. Things I wrote: In the Batcave (670 words, Batman Comics, Alfred Pennyworth & Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson & Bruce Wayne) Stakeouts (578 words, Nightwing Comics, Tim Drake & Dick Grayson) Not So Bad (752 words, DCU Comics, Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne) Without Fear I Look at You (1055 words, DCU comics, Diana (Wonder Woman)/Jessica Cruz) No Monsters in the Twilight (985 words, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Sara Lance & Mick Rory, Sara Lance/Original Female Character) Good Old Rose (494 words, Doctor Who (2005), Martha Jones & Rose Tyler) The End (when we allow it) (757 words, Doctor Who (2005), Tenth Doctor/Jack Harkness, Future Doctor/Jack Harkness) My dearest Enemy (1359 words, Marvel Noir, Tony Stark/Victor von Doom) You and Me and Him (4042 words, Marvel 616, Steve Rogers/Tony Stark) Different Kinds of Secrets (338 words, Supergirl (TV 2015), Alex Danvers & Kara Danvers) Moments of Importance (235 words, Supergirl (TV 2015)/DC's Legends of Tomorrow (TV), Kara Danvers/Sara Lance) Last thing before my eyes (267 words, Arrow, Nyssa al Ghul/Sara Lance) So, this was my year in fandom_stocking! It was an amazing year and this is still one of my favorite fannish events of the year. It's always a lot of fun coming up with something for the people I know or people I met during exchanges and other events, but it's just as much fun to find people who like the rare stuff I like, do something for people I don't know and, of course, to make new friends. :)
