Strange Encounter is an award-winning crossover written by Valerie Jones in 1996. It sets Fox Mulder and Dana Scully investigating the discovery of a woman who seems to have fallen from the sky and whose skin has the strange power to knock people unconscious.

The story was very popular, winning a CBFFA as well as garnering positive feedback many years after it was posted. Valerie also wrote a sequel, "Faith and Dreams".

Author's Notes

Well, I'm curing my writer's block by starting a new story. This is an X-Men/X-Files crossover. It's really kind of fluff, at least compared to what I usually write :}

I've wanted to do an X-Files crossover for a while now, but I didn't have any ideas until this one just popped into my head yesterday morning at work. So let me know if you like it. I may try to do some more things in this not-so-epic vein.

Oh, and for those of you who aren't familiar with the X-Files, I should warn you that I'm not doing a lot of explaining about the premise. If you really want to know, watch the show. But it shouldn't be too hard to follow-- you'll just miss all of the in-jokes. [1]
