The X-Files - Virtual Season 10 by deslea, larameans, Maidenjedi, pauraque, sixbeforelunch, spookyawards_archivist

Summary
XFVCU, which stood for X Files: VCU (Violent Crimes Unit), was a virtual series that Deslea coordinated in 2003, picking up the story eighteen months after The Truth. A lot has happened - the planned colonisation has been exposed, the alien race appears to have withdrawn, and the entire period of the X Files history from 1990-2003 has been exposed as the surface layer of a deep cover operation to fight the conspiracy. The citizenry are reeling from the news, and hybrids and test subjects are objects of fear, curiosity, and legislative debate. Paranormal cases are on the rise while the conspiracy unravels.
Now, the team - including deep cover agents like Krycek - are left to pick up the pieces. Their work has legitimacy, but it also has the spotlight. They're still players in a game, but whose game is no longer clear. The compromises of the war have taken their toll, too. Just because people share a side, doesn't mean they agree.
The series ended after seven episodes due to a death in the family. However, each episode is a self-contained casefile that can be read on its own.

Summary
“My dearest Fanny!” William Price burst forth. “You will not believe it! I am to be a lieutenant. My friend Captain Linton has spoken for me. As soon as he is to have a ship I am to be his lieutenant!”
It was impossible that Fanny’s spirits should be as high as his, but her felicity might well have surpassed his. She listened to him with tears of joy in her eyes and could not express her pride in his accomplishments nor her gratitude for this long-awaited promotion in terms warm enough to suit her feelings.
William was jubilant. To Captain Marshall he had been a favourite in the way only a steady, dependable midshipman could be, but to Captain Linton he was a friend. Now at last he would be in the way to make his fortune. Never in his life had he felt such triumphant satisfaction and if only he would be granted an opportunity to introduce the Captain to his sister before they returned to sea, he would have nothing to wish for.

Summary
A late-night jazz session leaves Commander Riker with a problem he can't explain: three bars of music that refuse to stop playing. What follows is one of those small, strange incidents where the mystery is real, the stakes are low, and the answers only get weirder the longer Geordi investigates.

Summary
"They're going to attack."
"Are you sure?"
"I am positive. The moment I mentioned that we weren't going to remove the mines, we both knew there'd be war. Everything else was just words, a feeble attempt to lull the other side into a false sense of security. I didn't buy it, and I'm sure Weyoun didn't either."
- Benjamin Sisko and Julian Bashir (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, S05, E26, "Call to Arms")
A very important subspace message from the frontier arrives on Earth.
