Unlocking for porn purposes. Welcome, new friends. Scroll down.

We did yin yoga this morning, or lots of long-holding stretches. Here is how I feel about yin yoga: A++++++++++++++. And my awesome, beautiful-voiced, unbelievably flexible yoga teacher remembered my name. Not "Nina," "Nivair," bitches. And she pronounced it right. And I haven't been in a month and a half because of film class. Basically, my yoga school wins.

Also, I finally have my downloaded seasons of The West Wing on my new hard drive. Season 1 has disappeared without a trace, apparently, so I'll have to reacquire that (darn), but I am watching The West Wing for the first time in months and it is beautiful. The good thing about a show like The West Wing is that it is incredibly high-quality and accurate and full of educational things, so you don't feel like a complete moron for holing yourself up in your apartment for hours on end devouring it. The bad thing about it, however, is that that very same quality makes it impossible to write really good porny fanfiction for the show. And with that in mind, we'll move on to The X-Files. :D

I have always wanted to be part of an EPIC PORN BATTLE ever since I realized that such things existed, and through fireworkfiasco, NOW I AM! Not that it in any way compares to the fireworkfiasco/trolliepop Team of Awesomeness, but you know. So here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to toss three (or four, or five :P ) fic recommendations your way, and then pie_is_good (and anyone else who wants a try!), I challenge you. Comment and let's go.

The NC-17 Mulder/Scully Revue, Part I

Okay, this first one isn't NC-17, so it might be cheating, but I'll do three NC-17 recs after this, I promise.

Stakeout Through the Heart by Barbara D.
I nearly snorted out my Cheez-Its while reading this, at least seven times. And this writer is clearly a woman after my own heart; she's got a terrible, lame title for a really great fic. None of my titles have ever been good, either. Barbara D., I salute you.

Covenant II by Rhondda Lake
For fuck's fucking sake, she describes Scully and her barometer tests. A seriously well-written X-file with the hottest sex, like, ever. 9 MILLION GOLD STARS! Also the first Covenant ain't a bad idea either; it is seriously shazam. Seriously.

Playing Goddess by Shalimar
This quote says it all:

"Did you know, Mulder, that federal law doesn't consider nudity in federal parks a crime?"

"Darn. Now we can't arrest each other."

FOR SRS.

Contact High by Penumbra
leiascully already knows that it would be criminal not to rec something by Penumbra, and the rest of you will learn it soon. "Contact High" has spoilers for an episode I haven't even seen yet, but I read it wayway back when I wasn't as pathetically involved as I am now and didn't care about spoilers. Plus, they're not that huge, and certainly not important to the mythology. So read it, dudes.

Sal from 4C by MD1016 & Dianora
Okay, I might as well add in a humor rec after all that straight-up hotness. And "Sal from 4C" is an excellent candidate -- beacuse if you don't love Drunk!Mulder, you probably don't love anything.

Author recs: Shalimar, Penumbra, Karen Rasch, MD1016, Khyber, Leyla Harrison, Madeleine Partous, and a bunch more that I am forgetting now and will include next time. But that should keep you occupied for awhile. ;)
