Some of the characters are @HermesSerpents OCs in their fic “Claws and Calls,” and as per the note left at the end of Chapter 40:
“Feel free to remix this idea into your own fic, make it into a podfic, make a video, make fanart, or whatever you want for this fic. This applies to all the ocs within and all the plots. I write what I want to see more of in the world. I'd love to be tagged or notified of it! And if you wanna chat ideas or brainstorm im all ears on tumblr: hermesserpent-stuff.”The inspiration for the gaming mechanic came from @Nordiamus’s Game On! Series

Summary
This is a work of what I call "speculative mythology." It's the shared, continuous stories of a highly eusocial people, and the many names that have emerged across the telling and retelling, translating and re-translating of these tales across many generations. It's bug lore, ant mythology, spec myth, a love letter to a people who never existed. There's Skith, who climbed. Akti, who ran. The two-tandem of Sett and Tattik. Rika, who went downward, and who dueled in the Serpent-Tunnel. The Small Colony, the Four Tree Colony, the tumult of Our Mound where no Queen lives, and the great labors of the Gods Inside.

Summary
What if Mulder returned to England after "The Erlenmeyer Flask"? And someone decided this was the perfect time to start stalking Scully?
OR
“They’re goddamn right you should’ve told me!” His voice thundered off eighteenth-century oak beams. “You could be dead, right now!”
She made a noise like he’d slapped her. Had he really just repeated their first fight? Yes. Of course. Because Fox Mulder was a sap and a fuckup and he’d left her all alone out there, and now- “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell like that. I’m just…”
“I didn’t think you’d care.” Her voice was the size of a lethal injection needle. It threaded neatly under his skin and into his veins and sent breathless death straight into his heart.
“What?” he rasped.
“You’d moved on. Or, away. You’d moved away. You have another life at Oxford, now, Mulder. Other goals. Other priorities. I should handle these things on my own. I need to handle these things on my own.”
“...Is this why you won’t answer my emails? Is this why you screen all your calls?” -

Summary
Twelve years after the war, Hermione Granger becomes Head Archivist of the Ministry’s memory vault—a sentient structure buried deep within the Department of Mysteries that catalogues history and anomalous artifacts.
Then it starts behaving strangely. It begins with minor clerical errors like false dates on paperwork and a subtle shift of corridors but then escalates to people themselves forgetting. Or worse yet, remembering what isn't theirs to remember.
When the Minister forces a "consultant" on her team, it’s the last person she wants poking around. Draco Malfoy is an expert in sentient architecture. He's brilliant, restrained, and far too observant. Together, they’re forced to dig into a history that’s literally rewriting itself, chasing a connection that neither of them remembers, but both of them can feel in the air between them.
