This is a Once a Thief story where Vic and Mac have to go on a very special assignment.

I'll Be Home for Christmas by SwordQueen

Good feelings! Happiness! Cheer and good will towards men and Jaffas! This is a Jack/Teal'c story that is almost entirely filled with people enjoying themselves with one another at Christmas.

Stranger Than Kindness by Laura Jacquez Valentine

This woman's fiction is so good, but it's also terribly uncomfortable sometimes. This is Jim/Blair.

Refraction, a Homicide : Life on the Street, X Files, The Sentinel crossover by Brenda Antrim

Brenda Antrim is something of a legend, and deservedly so. She manages to make Lee Brackett both evil and somewhat sympathetic, and she makes you want to cry for Tim. This is the final story in a trilogy.

Subterfuge by Xanthe

This Mulder/Skinner novel explores good and bad BDSM and the consequences of Mulder's recklessness.

Fruit Of The Vine by Aristide

132 K of sex and fruit and non-discussion, this Jim/Blair piece is the longest PWP I've ever read.

A Matter of Taste by Brighid

This Jim/Blair piece really turned me on. And then it made me giggle.

Proof of Ownership by Lyrica

A clever little Mulder/Skinner piece, with a CSM twist. Only slightly evil.

Post Mortem by Anne Smith

This was written after Gethsemane but before Redux, and I find the voice for Scully very true, and her interaction with Skinner highly plausible. It's nice to read about a Scully who still genuinely cares for Mulder.

Grey Zone II - Cats by Palinurus

This series is about Mulder's indoctrination into BDSM. This particular story involves hallucinogens, and thus, provides us with some startling imagery.

Cyanide and Astroglide by Ethan Nelson

A perfect picture of an absolutely manic Fox Mulder, plus a plot that involves the porn industry. How can one help but be in stitches?

The Waking by Anne Carr and Emrin Alexander

Obi-Wan is gravely ill and Qui-Gon pokes through his rock collection. Once again, Qui-Gon is ignorant of Obi-Wan's true feelings, and his own to boot. Frankly, the rocks are the most interesting part, and once they're done, the story isn't nearly so much fun. But they last through the first three parts, so that's okay.

Noise by Sleeps with Coyotes

A Phantom Menace story in which Qui-Gon pines over Obi-Wan. He also refuses to pay any attention to how his Padawan is actually behaving towards him.

Grace, Paradoxically by Laura Jacquez Valentine

Third story in the Gone Native series. Jim's mother fails to understand his and Blair's connection. The Gone Native stories strike me as bitter, brittle stories, but in the way a good chocolate-flavored drink might be. There are depths and oceans beneath the surface, I think.

Colorblind by Amirin

Mulder doesn't always see things very well, personally or professionally. How does Skinner have to react to his perceptions?

Hilt by Nonie Rider

Nonie has, on occasion, written marvelously horrid tales of sex and violence between Mulder and Krycek. She calls them DarkUglies and they are, but they are gloriously hideous. This particular story is the beginning of the Hilt series. Neither Mulder nor Krycek is presented as nice or even good in this series. But they have a connection ...

Shattered Image by Blue Champagne

The last in the Image series, this somewhat melancholy Miles/Julian piece deals with the aftereffects of the episode "Dr. Bashir, I Presume." Under Keiko's careful supervision, Molly, Miles, Nerys, Yoshi, and the lady herself all help to get Julian through the night.

Bang by Barb G

This is the first in a four part series (part four is not yet up on Barb's webpage). I like it because Krycek is simultaneously very human and very much the ruthless killer that Chris Carter has not seen fit to show us much of over the past season. Also, nobody talks too much.
