"I can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and I can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and I can do you all three concurrent or consecutive, but I can't do you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory -- they're all blood, you see."

In other words, this is the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern one.

Summary: "Deaths and disclosures, universal and particular, denouements both unexpected and inexorable, transvestite melodrama on all levels including the suggestive. We transport you into a world of intrigue and illusion ... clowns, if you like, murderers -- we can do you ghosts and battles, on the skirmish level, heroes, villains, tormented lovers -- set pieces in the poetic vein; we can do you rapiers or rape or both, by all means, faithless wives and ravished virgins -- flagrante delicto at a price, but that comes under realism for which there are special terms."

Ah, our poor unloved baby. I still like it, though.
Rating: NC-17. (Guildenstern: Is that what people want? Player: It's what we do.)
Warning! Characters die. Is it anyone you care about? That would be telling.

Humor. No, really.
Halloween (mind) candy.
SPOILER WARNING: Just Mr. Peabody.

CONTENT WARNING: Over-indulgence in sweets may cause dyspepsia.
SUMMARY: We came, we saw, we fried.
SPOILER WARNING: A potato fell on the floor. We don't advocate eating that one.
DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT: Anywhere holiday stories are found.

The saga that began in Iolokus ends not
with a bang but with a whimper. Mulder and Scully
are involved in possibly the largest battle of their
lives - fighting the unknown minions of the Project in
family court for custody of their genetically
engineered daughter Miranda.

We're proud to point out that the final part of the
Iolokus stories is the longest, in an attempt to wind
everything up as neatly as possible. Long yes, but
still shorter than Oklahoma, and, really, a bit less
vomiting proportionally. Size does matter.

Send lawyers, guns and money
The shit has hit the fan

Without your family, what have you got? As Mulder attempts to deal with the mundane horrors of suburban life, his fragile security is threatened by the return of a less-than-savory relative. It's Father Knows Best meets Seven as the former X-Files partners reunite.

'VIX TE AGNOVI' means "I hardly recognized you."

Are you lonesome tonight,
do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

The horrific saga begun in Iolokus (new spelling!) continues in the barren landscape of Texas. Mulder and Scully delve deeper into the genetic experiments done by the Project on the Mulder family. When the innocent, and not-so-innocent, legacies of the experiment are murdered because of who and what they are, Mulder and Scully are forced to face terrible reflections in a mirror broken into ten distinct pieces.

Quotes come from Walt Whitman.

Warnings: Rape, violence.

The misspelled monster that started it all. Although I'm told it promotes heteronormativity in the end, we were more going for polymorphic perversity; you'll have to judge for yourself.

Summary: Painted across the barren and desolate reaches of Texas, the shadows of the Project put additional pressure on Scully and Mulder's already fragile relationship. After a hostage crisis raises more questions about the Project's breeding program, Scully begins her own investigation, leaving Mulder to choose between saving her and saving himself. Finally, the investigation leads to tragedy and Mulder and Scully find that more questions have been asked than answered.

The title reference was to an island mentioned in Medea, to which we turned for fairly obvious reasons.

Warnings: extreme violence, including the death of children.

Not enough plot to summarize. I only wrote one story as Anubis. As for the rest, I'm not sayin'.

Marita comes through for Mulder, giving him what he wants most. But twenty-five years haven't brought as many changes as he might have thought, and her gift might be more dangerous than anything he's faced to date. And what's up with those bees? A potpourri of Conspiracy elements with many old favorites present. Note: Almost everything here about bees is actually true, except for the parts that are just paranoia.

A missing scene from Acadia; a direction the story ultimately didn't take.

The DSM-IV defines fugue as travel in foreign places, often under an assumed identity.

There's a chip and a bed. What else did you need to know?

A shapeshifter makes Mulder an offer he doesn't want to refuse.

Some can gaze and not be sick/But I could never learn the trick./There's this to say for blood and breath,/They give a man a taste for death.
