PG | 2.1k wds | angst with a happy ending; MSR; canon divergence; s9: “William;” the Gunmen are alive so everything is better

Summary: She’s coming apart so he’s coming to get her.

A/N: I’ve got a looooong time in this airport so I finished this for you. It’s super self-indulgent. Not sorry.

_+_

Blood on the crib sheet, blood on her baby’s head. How many times will they hurt him in his own nursery? How many times can she do this? She hasn’t slept in 36 hours and she can’t keep her own child safe.

William cries and cries while she clings to his blue bunny hat, helpless in this sterile space. Mulder in the hospital was awful; this is unbearable.

The doctor tells her, as so many have before, that her baby is fine. But things could have been different. She did not keep him safe.

Look at me. Look what they did. Is this what you want for your son?

The words echo for hours, that raspy voice. How easily she had been manipulated. Scully does not trust herself, watching her smiling child who looks at her with open love and no reason to doubt. You’re wrong to love me, she thinks to him.

She cannot be trusted.

She cannot be trusted with a child.

Scully comes apart in his nursery, in the same clothes she’s been wearing since she sang to him in the car with no cares but that it was past his bedtime. She stands in the place where she could have lost her baby twice now. She thinks this child would be better off without her. She understands that she deserves to be alone.

It is canon that Fox Mulder slits throats for Dana Scully.

That’s fucking love.

S11 Scully is soft and and tough and horny and funny and a wife and a mother and it’s wonderful and it hurts.

11.02 This

[tripleennui]

There are a few lines that Scully says in The X-Files where you can just tell Gillian Anderson had such disdain for the words and the person(s) that wrote them, but it almost always works for the scene because Scully is such a natural born hater

Rm9sbG93ZXJz Script: A cut hug on the date

We were also supposed to get a shot of Mulder moving Scully's hair... can't we have nice things?

good lord how are the monster-of-the-week episodes in xfiles final season so good while the mythology episodes are such infuriating horseshit

I am so mad about CSM being William’s father

I am so mad about Scully being pregnant at 54 and treating it like a happy ending when most of these 2 seasons were about how Mulder and Scully are trying desperately to figure out what their relationship even looks like

I am so very furious about Skinner’s stupid death

My jaw was on the floor during Scully’s “William was just an experiment” like sure I can absolutely see telling yourself that in the moment to try to cope! But everyone watching knows that’s not how you really feel! And Mulder kinda half tries to call her on it and then just gives in (aside from “who am I if I’m not a father” sir fatherhood never even crossed your mind until Scully asked you, and you were MIA for most of his infancy, sit down)

And this one carries over from last season but I’m enraged that CSM was here at all, after his flaming fucking skull exploded towards the camera from being directly hit with a fucking missile

What an unbelievable assortment of events to put on a page and commit to film and think “yes this is good work, what an excellent send-off, well done”

I now fully understand and agree with the people who want chris carter to keep the fuck away from the reboot

Oh wow…

I had to google this and I found this

and this is from someone in the comments: I was there when Gillian recorded that poetry. I was in the band White Room at the time. Our singer Ralph Lennard Wallace (known as Len) was Gillian’s “Punk Rock Boyfriend” Gillian use to perform with us on stage all the time (surprised no video or pics have surfaced yet) I would love to see White Room’s performance from that day if anyone has a copy.
