The Flexible Concept of Tomorrow (Donna-Mulder, Mulder/Scully | PG13 | 11,244 words): Five time Donna and Mulder meet plus one time for each of them they don't remember. This is so neat. Donna and Mulder is an unlikely but awesome friendship.

Excerpt:
The first time he remembers seeing her, they're almost the same age.

Something huge slamming down from the sky just caused a blast wave that knocked him clear off his feet. The bridge is so much floating matchwood and ahead, a fireball consumes the center of a densely packed wood. He walks towards the crash site, flashlight in one hand, gun in the other, one part scared to five parts thrilled at the thought of seeing a ship at last.

He catches a glimpse of red hair ahead of him and just for a moment, his spirits leap at the thought that Scully pushed aside her objections and came out here after all. As he gets closer he realizes that the woman isn't Scully. She's about five inches too tall, longer hair, more broadly built and the jacket's brown leather. There's something vaguely familiar about her. She's also walking very fast in the wrong direction, her breath blowing out in white clouds as she labors up the hill.

"Ma'am," he calls out. She turns around. She's older than Scully, with a scowl on her narrow face. She's muttering under her breath. "Ma'am, I need you to move away from the crash site. It could be dangerous."

"Should've known you'd be here, Mulder," she says, in an accent he immediately identifies as from London. "Great big trouble magnet, you are; just like him."

"How do you know my name?" he asks, the hairs on the back of his neck prickling.

<a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/894411>I Want To Believe (It's Not Lead Poisoning)</a> (Carlos/Cecil, Mulder, Scully | G | 2,446 words): Mulder and Scully visit Night Vale. This is a very fun fic done in the style of an episode of <i>Welcome to Night Vale</i>. Excerpt: <cite>Frances says they argued like an old married couple. She says the man Mulder is tall, but not too tall, and that his features are distinguished and his eyes are shadowed by old pain that will never be forgotten. She says she offered them a lovely Danish Modern sofa, but that Agent Scully said they had no way to get it back to DC. The FBI agents - if that is indeed what they are - do not seem to mean us harm. However, appearances can be deceiving. Agents from a Vague, Yet Menacing, Government Agency have been seen following them. And no one reports seeing anyone in a leather balaclava all day, which means that the Sheriff's Secret Police must be <strong>very</strong> interested in them.</cite>

Queer Eye for the Fandom Guy (ensemble | G | 1,016 words) has the Fab Five visiting eight different characters from fandom. This thing is full of fantastic one-liners, much like the show itself, and really nails the guys routine. But no, there are so many things that are laugh-out-loud funny in this. And it doesn't get old either.

Excerpt:
Subject three: Captain Jack Sparrow

CARSON: Okay, this is your normal everyday look? This isn't, like, terror drag?

JACK: Oh, this old thing. (Holds out the sleeves of his coat, tosses his hair.)

CARSON: Well, the good side is, you're not afraid to take chances. We can work with that.

TED: Come and take a look at the bar. We've tried to provide a little more variety, a little more finesse -- some top-brand vodka for mixers, a nice brandy --

JACK: Where is the rum?

TED: Rum -- you know, rum's nice in a pina colada or something like that, but it's a little downscale, and if you'll just consider --

JACK (pulls out musket): We'll be putting the rum back, mate.

TED: And the rum goes back.
