#FITP bts

[skelavender]

the thing about writing is sometimes you’ll sit down to untangle a plot problem and you black out and write 700 words and when you come to, mulder’s in a tree

[skelavender]

at the end of the day it is just me and the fitp outline document i've been using since september against the world

[skelavender]

inspired by a comment left by @wannaliveattheholidayinn on chapter 3 of shelter, that one bit in how i met your mother, and @pookie-mulder’s tags on this post

comment and bonus below the cut !

wip tag game!! i was tagged by @agent-troi and @calimanc 💕

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

i don’t have one folder for wips but the only thing i’m actively working on is fitp v, so i’m posting from that folder

EAT ME ALIVE.

EATING OUT ON THE COUCH

small potatoes

FIRST TIME

the absurdly long outline doc i’ve used for all of fitp that catches all the random little blurbs that pop into my head

im late to the game and it seems like most folks have already been tagged, so i'll just do @7crowsinadress and @ithacarus (no pressure!!)

WIP wednesday for FITP?

im gonna be honest, the document has Not been opened for a couple weeks but this did make me open it and write a bit, so thank you! here’s the opening so far:

The white, clear, unmarred ceiling is mocking Scully.  You have something I need. The words bounce around her mind, ricocheting between parietal bones before then echoing through the rest of her body like a war drum through a valley, the sound amplifying a warning of what’s to come.  The white, clear, unmarred ceiling is mocking Scully. She is not sure her body is quite so pristine.

Small potatoes?

“I must have forgotten,” not-Mulder shakes his head, “Silly me. You know what else is silly, Dana?” Mulder doesn’t call her Dana unless someone is dead or dying. She resists the urge to roll her eyes. Instead, she hums in reply. “That we’ve never done this before,” and the dipshit starts leaning in to kiss her. Scully stands stock still until she can’t hold it back anymore, and laughs.  Haven’t done this before. Like Mulder hadn’t fucked her on this very couch three days ago. Ridiculous.

Im sticking closer to canon for fitp v, and this is the first episode i really started because i love it so much its so ridiculous

Ok so I’m actually working on the fitp fanart and i know theyre not in the smooching phase yet but shhhhhhhhhh (also this is repurposed Valentine’s Day fanart that i never finished so)

A sneak peak :3

AHHHH I LOVE IT!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

[skelavender]

OOH DRABBLE PROMPTS how about in the fitp roommates era, one of them accidentally walks in on the other in a state of undress and now they’re both flustered and can’t look each other in the eye

ORRRR how about some early msr who are about to be caught by a bad guy and have to kiss (their first kiss!) to avoid capture (a la Steve and Natasha in CATWS lol)

i got carried away with the second prompt lol so it's over here in it's own post! here's the first:

Even though Mulder turns around as soon as he pushes the bathroom door open, he catches an eyeful of boob. Scully boob, to be precise. 

“Sorry!” He says to the wall, before Scully can even realize what happened.

“This is why we should’ve gotten a house with two bathrooms, Mulder!” She steps out of the bathroom with a cloud of steam, now wearing a towel. “How much did you see?”

“Uhh…”

Scully sighs in exasperation. “Alright, your turn.”

“What?”

“Take your shirt off. It’s only fair.”

“Scully, I’m not gonna–”

“Off, Mulder.”

He complies. “There. Happy?”

She hums appreciatively. “Yes.”
