MSR, angst, romance, various other disclaimers

Just, quick. I've been watching the X-Files Colonization Collection which is full of all my favorite eps from season 6 when Diana Fowley's around and Mulder's Jesus...

And I'm hitting all these bits of dialogue that launched a thousand fics at this time, with Scully and Diana fighting over Mulder, and, I WANT.

My memory of that fandom is so hazy, I have no way of knowing if this is a fic or fics I've actually read or whether it's simply the sort of thing that zillions of people wrote fic about --

I want one where Scully's in Africa or whatever and Mulder's in the hospital being psychic with Diana, and Scully's all pining for his "beautiful mind" (seriously, do you remember this, people? OH SHOW), and then she comes back, and, whatever. I'm definitely looking for something unapologetically shippery -- is it out there? Where's this fic? It must be somewhere! If you've seen it, or anything similar, or even remotely similar, tell me, will ya?

My sister and I just watched those episodes (well, just the season six finale and season seven premiere, but you know) and oh man "your beautiful mind" cracked us up SO MUCH. What the hell, X-Files. I love you so much.

Sadly, however, I have not seen that fic, but I am a relative n00b to the fandom (as in we started watching the show two summers ago). If you find it, hook a girl up!

God, you probably want a Sarah Segretti or an Alelou or a Revely, even. I know exactly which fics you mean, but can't remember a word of them, I just remember how they looked, all 65-character-wide Courier New text.

Oh, my, that does take me back. I still have a few .txt files on my website, can't be bothered to reformat them.

you make me so nostalgic with this post. this was my first, best fandom.

i am re-watching the show show these days -which is bad for my health- and i'm starting season two now. it always floors me how much Mulder can make my heart ache still AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

I can't access my XF web site from work (boo hiss!), but I can highly recommend Ambress' "All the Places" (oh, how I love it). But I had to check Gossamer for the title and can't remember enough about others to do so without being able to access my recommendations page. Sigh.

Oh the beautiful mind line. My explanation of why that line made me giggle so hard started a 9 day long flame war on OBSSE. Sigh.

Hi. I am here via cofax7. I do not know this fic, as I am relatively new to the fandom (started watching 2005 on TNT). Here are two places to ask, if you get desperate and just HAVE TO KNOW. The X-Files Lost and Found Community is a wonderful resource, that I have used time and again. Here on LJ, there is xfstoryfinders.

I feel certain that one of these resources will find that fic.

My recommendation for a season seven post-Sixth Extinction unabashedly shippery fic is Parabiosis by Penumbra.

[all-shine-on.livejournal.com]

I actually think that Parabiosis is the one she's looking for! That was my first thought when I read what she was trying to find.

If you just want some fic focused around that time, you can also head over to Gossamer (http://tooms.gossamer.org/) and go to their spoilers page for stories set during that timeline!

[wendelah1]

I thought about that, but I checked and there are three pages (!) of stories listed on the spoiler pages under those episodes. I hope "Parabiosis" is the right one. It is a great, classic story.

oh, good times. i just re-read parabiosis recently, and I'm not sure it's the one you're after, though it is obvs fabulous.

oh, movie. do not let me down.

You could try (after a quick skim of Gossamer) Sara Segretti's A Less Certain World, Vesalius' Pythagorean Harmonics, or Ten's Recovery....
