#RIGHT SCULLY?

[nostalgia-tblr]

The reader-insert people seem to use "Y/N" in direct speech with a reckless abandon not seen since The X-Files was airing.

If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced. What are we doing up here, Scully? It's hotter than hell.

This moment in "Irrestible." She told him she's fine. He told her "If you're having trouble with this case, Scully, I want you to tell me." He told her "I just don't want you to think you have to hide anything from me." Back in Washington, she told Kosseff "I don't want him to know how much this is bothering me. I don't want him to think he has to protect me." This moment is such a turning point. She's not fine. She has to let herself need something for once. He offers, and she takes.

His fingers gently lifting up her chin, that is him repeating his earlier message: I just don't want you to think you have to hide anything from me. And her response isn't "I'm fine," this time. She has been through so much. Her responses aren't calculated. In this moment of vulnerability, she steps into him and accepts what he wants to give her. Partnership and support. Friendship. This isn't even about love. This is about needing something and trusting someone not to use it against you.

She does not have to hug him. She could turn away, walk away, try to hide how not okay she is. And if he were anyone else, she would walk away. But it's him. He's a safe place for her. And I believe if he had pushed her more, had tried to get her to admit how much this was getting to her, this hug wouldn't have happened. But she can lean on him now because he respected it when she wouldn't.

None of this is conscious, she's not weighing pros and cons in her head. This is instinctual. This is emotion overriding rationality. This is a very human response to something that shook her to her core. This is unfiltered. And when her walls can't stay in place, he invites her into his instead and she steps inside. And that is really, really big.

DAY 4: favourite dynamic — Mulder & Scully You were my friend and you told me the truth. Even when the world was falling apart, you were my constant, my touchstone. -And you are mine.

Having thoughts on Mulder and how his relationship with Scully is the only one in which he actually gets someone who is honest with him and doesn’t use him or manipulate him and how so many people, even his own parents, continue to lie and withhold information and how conflicted he must feel and how he feels so guilty whenever something happens to Scully because she is so good, and, in his opinion, too good for him, but she continuously stays with him, being honest with him, being truthful, and while they have had their ups and downs, they continuously go back to each other because they find so much comfort in each other, especially with how they have both been used, and how they have been there for each other since their very first case, I just- these two I swear, it’s such a beautiful relationship.

Actually, all I ever wanted in life was to be left alone. Don't we all? So just my luck that I'd eventually become an alien abductee. Now I'm never alone.
