currently suffering from cordyceps brain rot so maybe this is too niche but i’m imagining a tlou x txf crossover, because like imagine. when the outbreak happens, mulder & scully would be p valuable to fedra for their knowledge in the uncanny. the fbi & txf would be subsumed into some fedra department. maybe not on the front lines, but somewhere behind the scenes. trying to figure out What Happened. scully’s medical knowledge would make her especially valuable.

but like. i can’t imagine either of them going along with fedra for very long. corrupt government? trust no one baybey. i think they would break out on their own, bonnie & clyde style, because i can’t see either of them fully trusting any revolutionaries either. until they eventually run into the fireflies, maybe marlene herself, and learn about an immune girl and the possibility for a cure. again, scully’s medical knowledge and her desire to help would be powerful motivators. but when they realize what the cost would be…i think it would be more than just joel breaking ellie out of that hospital lol

#this is just rambling #i’m not generally one for crossovers #but i think there’s some interesting overlap between tlou and txf #not just the science and the uncanny #but the themes of love and loss and how far you’ll go to protect the person you love #or avenge them #there’s an interesting parallel between early seasons mulder with his blind quest for the truth #and early joel #with his dedication to survival above all else #how emotionally stunted both of them are #how unwilling to open up or deviate #blah blah blah #mine #txf #tlou
