alanna: Lone Star (outside link)
171K | Rated: R
Classification: Pre-XF, Doggett, Reyes

150K | Rated: NC-17 (Language, Violence, Sexual Content)
Classification: X, MSR, Mytharc, Character Death
Summary: The Apocalypse is at hand and G-Men Mulder, Skinner and Doggett bust their asses to fight for the future of mankind.

And of course, there is a damsel in distress.
