Cathleen Faye's XF Fan Fiction
Below are the stories I've written so far for The X-Files. You'll find some of everything; Mostly MSRs, but also some X-files cases, vignettes and even a slash story. Each story is clearly marked with the genre and rating so you should be able to find the kind you enjoy (or try something different!) For those of you who like to print stories, I've added a formatted PDF version.

PILGRIMS'
PROGRESS Trapped together by a mountain storm, Mulder and Scully discover that while they have gone searching for one thing, they may have found something else entirely.

 Nothing Vanishes Without a Trace |
PENTIMENTO Updated! Pentimento is an art term meaning to obscure what was once there, such as painting a new picture over an older one on a canvas. But as it ages, oil paint on canvas can become transparent and slowly, what was there before can be seen again and the whole truth of the picture, once lost and obscured, can be rediscovered. This story of the reunion of Mulder and Scully is much the same. X-Files Story, UST, major angst | Rated PG-13 for adult themes and emotions HTML Version | Text Version | PDF Version

REGULAR
PEOPLE STILL The sequel to the story started in Regular People. We're back in 1998 where Mulder and Scully are continuing their sojourn. This means talk about issues between them, discoveries large and small, lots of sex, some laughter, some sadness, and a touch of urgency as they are fast running out of time to be regular people.

 A meeting of Hearts and Minds |
BY
COINCIDENCE 1999 Starbuck Award Winner Set in 1995 towards the end of the second season. Mulder's recovery from his brush with death in the Arctic Circle brings about a day of introspection as he struggles to get through a Sunday. Across town Scully and her sister discover a moment from Mulder's past that causes her to question whether she really knows her partner. Mulder would probably call it fate whereas Scully would call it coincidence, but either way, something draws them to the same place at the same time where they'll straighten it all out. I would call this a deep characterization study with a payoff of smut <g> MSR | Rated NC-17 for sexual content, adult themes and language HTML Version | Text Version | PDF Version

 Mulder risks more than his life |
RISKING
EVERYTHING This is an expansion on the events of Pine Bluff Variant, an XF episode with more layers (IMO) than it's given credit for, the title is taken from Mulder's line in the episode. In this story, we find that Mulder has risked his relationship with Scully for this assignment and he's running out of time to set it right again, but Scully has more faith in him than he realizes.
