My Constant, My Touchstone 🌟🌙💫

She/Her. Dr. Dana Scully is the love of my life. Anxious but surviving. Proud owner of two strange cats and two ridiculous dogs. Book enthusiast and lover of all things cute.

About Me(ow)

- I’m 100% obsessed with The X-Files and Dana Scully. I regret nothing and I have no shame. XF honestly changed and maybe even saved my life

- I love reading and writing Xf/MSR fanfic. I also love looking at fanart and watching fan vids and TikToks. I make a lot of memes

- I'm a lesbian/sapphic as well as a huge supporter of the entire LGBTQ+ community

- I’m neurodivergent (Autism, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, OCD, Major Depression, and PTSD) and also diabetic and have Fibromyalgia

- I'm currently a full-time Information and Library Science major. I just got my first job in a library and it was arguably the greatest day of my life

- I love animals and I have two dogs, two cats, and a couple of fish tanks

- I read all the time and am always looking for book recs! I mainly read fiction, romance, fantasy, and about pop culture/music/television history

- Some of my other random interests are Anime, Manga, 80’s and 90’s nostalgia, pop music, and baking

I don't know what else I can say but I hope you enjoy the X-Filey goodness here!

fic: Fragile Balance (19/19) [complete]

For @calimanc, who sent me this prompt two years ago. Thank you to my friends who helped me along the way through beta-reading and cheerleading: urlovingfriend, @unremarkablehouse, @bakedbakermom, @baronessblixen, and @bookishscully. The original prompt came from a list by @cecilysass. Set in late season 5. This is a finished fic and I will be posting a chapter a day.

Summary:

Following a lead on a case they just can’t seem to solve, an accident leaves Mulder with supernatural powers; the same powers their main suspect seems to posses. In a race against time to stop a series of murders, what could be a key to the case instead puts new obstacles in their way.

I had you. No, you didn't. Oh, yeah. I had you big time. You had nothing. Come on, I saw you jiggle the handle.

Behold my absolutely nonexistent Photoshop skills! Because @bakedbakermom asked: here is the Redux II hand-kiss scene without Bill Jr. hovering in the background. Replaced with Assistant Director Walter Skinner checking in on his two favorite disaster clowns. And because @randomfoggytiger found out that Skinner's birthday is June 3: Happy birthday Walter.

"Gillian has beautiful eyes," Duchovny says. "Her eyes anchor me to the scene. They're big and they're blue and they're wet. And the top of her nose goes up and down when she talks. Her nose is a good actor." [Allure Magazine, December 1997]
