X-Files and meme

icepixieYes, yes indeed the second episode of the tenth season of X-Files is much better than the first one, if only because there was Scully and Mulder imagining being parents to William as he grew up, and for a little while it was happy. (I hadn't thought the whole episode had passed when Mulder was having his imagining, so I thought they were going to do one at the end where they were parenting together, but maybe that comes in another episode.) I admit I'm not thrilled that we're back in alien hybrid/human incubator territory, but I accept that a.) we weren't getting out of this without a conspiracy angle (unless TPTB just declared that everything from the middleish of S7 on was now uncanon, which would've been nice), and b.) the only place they can go that would drag Scully back to the FBI would be alien babies, especially if she might have harbored one.
Speaking of them being back with the FBI, that was some amazing red tape cutting by the Skin-man to get them back in. I suppose he had some help from CSM.

An AO3 Stats meme stolen fromlizbee:
1. Your 3 fanfics with the most comments:
All of these are Yuletide fics, which is unsurprising. I hit the jackpot occasionally with a source that lots of people know, but there isn't much fic for.
"Moves in the Field" (40) - The Cutting Edge, Doug brings Kate to visit Minnesota after the movie, told from Walter's POV.
"My Late Enchantments Still in Brilliant Colors Shine" (31) - Susan Ivanova vs. a technomage.
"The Case of the Missing Martini Olive" (28) - The Thin Man, Nick and Nora banter and fluff.
2. Your 3 fanfics with the most kudos:
Agent Carter fans are very kudos-happy.
"Pigtails and Inkwells" (213) - Thompson pulls Carter's pigtails.
"Necessary" (197) - Thompson helps Carter out of a jam; she goes right on mouthing off at him.
"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" (123) - "'We'? I fail to recall the point at which I was brought into this baby-making enterprise of yours."
3. Your oldest fanfic:
The oldest one I will admit to is a Farscape fractured fairy tale, "Cinder Rocket-Jockey." Featuring Crichton as Cinderella, Rygel as the fairy godmother, and Aeryn as Prince Not-Very-Charming. From all the way back in 1999!
(Speaking of fanfic I will not admit to, oh my god, I wrote my first fanfic twenty years ago this year. TWENTY YEARS.)
4. Your latest fanfic:
"What Happens in San Jose" - Cupid fic for Yuletide. Trevor tags along to Claire's high school reunion as her totally-just-friends date. Things do not go as planned.
5. Your proudest fanfic:
Right now I'm going to go with my China Beach epic, "The Future an Affirmation," or how McMurphy and Richard made a quarter century of marriage work after Vietnam. Told backwards, as a bonus.
6. Your longest fanfic:
Also "The Future an Affirmation," but since I already used that, number two on the list is "Two Musketeers and a Dead Guy," or Fraser and Thatcher take dog sleds through the Yukon to bury Frobisher in a plot from beyond the grave to get them together.
7. Your 3 fanfics with the most bookmarks:
"Moves in the Field" (28), "Necessary" (16), and "Pigtails and Inkwells" (15).
8. Your top 3 crossover fics:
I'm not sure how we're defining top, but these are my favorites. Hilariously, most of my crossovers involve due South.
"To Give Life a Shape" - Benton Fraser, meet your older lookalike Geoffrey Tennant. Geoffrey's going to make you and Thatcher do Shakespeare together until you admit you like each other.
"Monkey Say, FBI Agent Do" - Someone's using inanimate objects with animal faces to talk to Olivia Dunham, and she's going to make Jaye Tyler tell her what's going on.
"Lovers and Madmen (and also Canadians)" - Trevor Hale matchmakes Fraser and Thatcher, with predictably absurd results.
9. Your favourite characters to write in fanfic:
According to AO3, I spend most of my time writing about Susan Ivanova, Benton Fraser, Meg Thatcher, and Michael Garibaldi. No one is surprised. I quite like all of them.
