"Thank you for coming in on such short notice." He gestured to the chair nearest the desk. "Special Agent Watson," Stamford said, pulling his attention back. He looked back at the smoking man, who did not offer a hand. Stamford stood, leaning across his desk to offer his hand. He took a long, slow drag on his cigarette as their eyes met. He had taken up residence against a tall filing cabinet by the wall, studying John with keen eyes. The source of the smoke was a slim, sour-faced man in a smart three-piece suit. This was mildly disconcerting, as John knew that smoking had been banned in federal buildings since at least the late nineties, and the restrictions had only grown ever more stringent in the last decade.

Section Chief Stamford had a broad, friendly face and an office full of cigarette smoke. (See the end of the work for more notes.) Be advised that the first chapter here draws heavily from both the X-Files Pilot episode and A Study in Pink, and that suicides/murders disguised as suicides feature as a main plot point. Nothing too terribly graphic, but if it seems to be straying in that direction I will up the rating. Most of the chapters will focus on cases and investigations, which means canon-typical violence.

I took elements of it, messed around a bit with the chronology, and tried to reassemble it into something that worked for this particular universe.
I played really fast and loose with the overall XF mythology, which never really made all that much sense at the best of times. No real knowledge of the X-Files is needed to enjoy this, I hope. I may or may not have been successful, but it's been a fun and challenging writing exercise to engage in.Įrm. I've tried very hard not to recreate Sherlock or The X-Files wholesale here, although there will of course be bits that are familiar. And, I mean, if ever there were a project I feel like I was born to work on, this is the one. I've never done a fusion before, but this challenge looked like irresistible fun, so here I am.
