Story 140: "Our Mulders" and "Our Scullys" by Punk Maneuverability
Fourteen stories in 28 days. Are you ready?
Our first selection is the perfect way to start our mini-fic marathon. "Our Mulders" was nominated by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
littlegreen42. Written way back in 1997, it is the first in a group of short-short stories Punk came to name the "Ours" series. "And in changing them, we made them ours." I see it as a love-letter to Fox Mulder and to fan-fiction writers for The X-Files.
"Our Mulders"
Posted two years later, "Our Scullys" is a little darker, a little more painful to read, at least for me, and surprisingly prescient, given the ending of the series.
"Our Scullys"
The links are to Archive of Our Own, where you can read the rest of the series, and everything else Punk has written, too.

I think I was being a little melodramatic when I wrote last night and I don't really disagree with you but this is what I mean
It's the glaring reminder that M & S don't really exist outside the characters we make them. Their 'truest' selves, I guess, are what CC made and although this doesn't make them 'real' at least they can still be this after everyone has had their piece of them.
This is pathetic, I know, OF COURSE they aren't real - it's just a little disconcerting to be made so aware of it, howsoever lovingly.
It sounds like I don't like the writing, but I DO, honestly, I love it!

I believe you. Of course I believe you! You wouldn't be HERE if you didn't.

It is disconcerting, I know what you mean. My solution is in having an extremely nonpragmatic concept of 'reality'. *g*
