Added DiffLines:


!!Duchovny's fiction includes:
* AllMythsAreTrue: [[spoiler:In ''Miss Subways'', various magical beings from around the world, including Ireland and Africa, have found themselves transplanted to America via the immigration (voluntary or not) of the people from those regions.]]
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: ''Holy Cow'' is about a cow, a pig, and a turkey who are capable of using a smartphone, impersonating people, boarding an airplane, and various other feats. (They can't talk to people, though, only each other.)
* BoringReturnJourney: [[spoiler:In ''Holy Cow'', the journey around the world takes up the bulk of the story. The return home is barely touched on.]]
* DyingDream: [[spoiler:''The Reservoir'' is about a man experiencing this as he dies from COVID-19, although where reality leaves off and the dream begins is hard to say.]]
* EnemyOfMyEnemy: In ''Holy Cow'', Joe Camel manages to achieve peace in the Middle East by uniting Jews and Arabs in hatred of their common foe, pigs. Shalom, the pig, is less than wild about this.
* GrassIsGreener: Each of the animals in ''Holy Cow'' believes life must be better someplace else. Tom the turkey assumes Turkey must be a good place to live because of the name. Shalom the pig figures Israel would be good for him because they don't eat pigs there, and Elsie wants to go to India because they worship cows.
* IJustWantToBeFree: In ''Holy Cow'', some farm animals realize what their future holds (that is, not much) and decide to escape to find a better life.
* LittlePeopleAreSurreal: In ''Miss Subways'', Emer is visited in the middle of the night by a little person. This combined with having been woken up suddenly leaves her rather disoriented.
* OnlyOneName: Anansi in ''Miss Subways''.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Sidney, Emer's principal in ''Miss Subways'', is a decent guy who is sympathetic to the difficulties teachers have in navigating the fraught political climate of the twenty-first century, and shields her from trouble when he can.
* UrbanFantasy: ''Miss Subways'' [[spoiler:has elements of this, though given the difficulty in figuring out what is really going on in the story (both for the reader and the main character), it could also be considered MagicRealism or AllJustADream]].

Added DiffLines:

* SilverFox: The years and resulting grey hairs have not detracted from his good looks at all and he still has many fangirls eager to say as much.


Added DiffLines:

* TallDarkAndSnarky: As Mulder, he absolutely personified this trope, being tall with dark hair and brooding good looks and an astonishing capacity for snark.
