X-Files Book Club

Today's short-short is "Intervention of Elves" by Lisby. It's a two-hour improv; the genre is post-col.

Before I forget, here's working link to "Eyes Shut". That's a damn sexy story.

We just blew past 150 stories, people. I guess posting a fic every other day for a solid four weeks will do that.

Today is also the birthday of one Dana Katherine Scully, who just turned 47 years young. To celebrate, how about reccing us a favorite Scully-centric story. Bonus points if it's not about the cancer arc or Emily. Extra bonus points if it's funny.

One of my favorites is "Failure to Die" by Kel. It's not about the cancer arc or Emily. Scully gets to act like a real doctor in it, by actually being a doctor during an undercover assignment. Mulder is undercover, too. He gets to play a Richie-Rich type on parole for drugs, working as a orderly. Gee, that's a stretch. It is narrated by the one and only Jerry Luskin who gets to play a retired FBI agent, now working as chief of security at the hospital, also perfect type-casting. They are all guarding a Mafia guy who is supposed to testify in federal court, except for he's in a coma, if I recall. Oh, and the hospital is haunted. It is a hoot. And Scully is awesome in it. Go read it now.

I should probably give Kel her own tag.

Okay, so post about "Intervention of Elves," "Eyes Shut," Scully's birthday, and don't forget, a fav Scully story! I realize it is now February 24th in most of the world. I can't help it if I live in PST.

From thedrabblefiles, we have a set by dbkate. Four prompts, four drabbles, 580 words in total. The pairing is Mulder/Scully, the genre is angst and prompt four is rated Mature.

"Four Cuts"

This reminds me, there is a story of hers I want to put in the nomination post.
