“That chemistry is there — and while I believe they still have very strong feelings for each other, they are estranged,” says Carter.

Fic: The only thing I ever wanted will be standing at my door (E, MSR)

2600 words; Explicit for sexual situations; what if Mulder and Scully had fucked after the neck check in Ice? happy birthday @enoughslices

The moment kept replaying in her head:

Mulder’s broad back warm under her searching fingers. The way her body had sagged in relief when her examination had yielded nothing. The way he’d caught her, startling her. His hand turning her head away, his very touch a question: do you trust me? And she’d stood there straight and motionless (yes yes yes I trust you). His whole hand sliding up her neck, possessive in a way that made her shiver.

She was rarely aware that Mulder was bigger than she was. Even when he leaned over her in normal conversation, they felt of a level. But Mulder standing behind her, possibly infected with an alien worm that would give him a furious strength, had felt enormous. She’d been acutely aware of the strength of his fingers, the power he had over her. Mulder, her partner, would never snap her neck. But Mulder might not have been himself, and his palm had spanned so much of her skin.

We’re not who we are.

Outside, the wind howled and the snow pelted down. Soon the drifts would be taller than she was. The windows would be covered. The air inside the station, already less than crisp, would get stale as they breathed in each other’s exhaled air.

She prowled around her little room, restlessly touching things. Tension coiled inside her, driving her on. She turned over papers, trailed her fingertips over the personal trinkets on the desk, opened and closed all the drawers, twitched the bedcovers smooth. She was sleeping in a dead man’s room. A scientist. The whole place was a coffin and she was trapped inside it. She should have said good night to the corpses in their body bags, just in case. Maybe the worm would reanimate the dead, on a delay to lull its potential prey into complacency. That would be their luck, at this point.

When there was a tap at the door, she nearly screamed. With eerie calm, she went to the door and unlocked it. Mulder stood there, filling the space between the frame and the door. Wordlessly, she stepped back and let him enter. He closed the door. She heard the lock click behind him.

For a moment, he leaned against the door, looking at her. The moment stretched out between them, taut as a wire, the same tension that had been humming between then since he’d closed his hand over her shoulder. Of course it was Mulder at the door. Of course she’d known. She sensed the connection between them drawing unbearably tight. And then they were on each other, fumbling frantically with layers of flannel and wool and silk, stripping each other to bare torsos without saying a word.

DD's Mother Didn't Understand Him

July 1998: Born in New York to a Scottish mother and Polish-Russian father, he talks oddly about his American identity. “The sense of foreignness came from my mother. It was important for her that I remembered that I was half-Scottish. It didn’t mean reading me bedtime stories about Bonnie Prince Charlie, but there was a difference in outlook. I was a foreigner to my own mother. She didn’t understand me.” It is a surprisingly powerful remark to throw away like that.

[randomfoggytiger]

September 4, 2024: "It reminded me of my mom. Her entire life, y'know, until she died-- and she had dementia for probably eight years before she died, mercifully-- would ask me, 'Are you ever going to finish your dissertation?' No, not 'Are you ever'-- she'd ask me, 'When are you going to finish your dissertation?' And this is, y'know, I dropped out of graduate school when I was 26, 27, so this is... y'know, thirty-five years of this question.

"And, y'know, I would try to be rational with her-- especially back in the days when she could be rational-- and just say, 'Hey, I'm doing other things...' It's a big undertaking to say, okay, you're going to write that dissertation. It's like writing a book, but it's like writing a technical manual. It's like writing... you can't just jump in-- it's not like fiction, you can't just make it up. Y'know, you have to research, you have to, y'know, be aware of all the other writings on what you're writing about. I was going to be writing On Magic and Technology in Contemporary American Fiction and Prose and I'd have to know all the current writings.... I mean, it would take me a year just to be up-to-date on those authors, to reread the books-- you're getting the idea, it's a big undertaking.

"And I... guess there was always a part of me when she'd ask me that, was like, 'Why don't you, why aren't you accepting who I am?' For a good part of these interrogations, I was a very successful... I'd become a very successful person: a very successful actor, and then I was writing books, and then I was making music or whatever. But.... She, uh, it was like: from your mom, when she says.... To me, 'When are you doing to finish your dissertation,' it was like, 'I don't believe in the other stuff you're doing. I believe in that.'

"And there was something in me that, that, would push back. And one of the last times I saw her with my kids, she was, uh, at a place in Jersey; and she was full-on into the last bit of dementia. And, um, I don't know.... It was a Sunday, and we were sitting there, listening to music where she was living. And she asked me again, 'When are you going to finish your dissertation?' It was in front of the kids. And I said, 'Y'know, Mom, I don't think I will. It's not something I can just do. I'm doing other things." And she looked horrified, and fell asleep immediately. And on the way home, my kids were like, 'Why don't you just lie to her? Why don't you just tell her you did it, you finished your dissertation. And I was like... it seemed very rational to me. [...] And I never did get the chance-- she died a couple months later, but we never, it never came up again. And I never did make that 'beautiful lie' to her-- or would it be?

"And, again, it was me being 'the son', almost a little boy, and my mom checking in on my homework-- 'Have you finished your homework? Have you finished your dissertation?' And me pushing back and saying, 'Not important, I don't care, I'm never going to use that, it's not important in my life. Look at me, look at who I am! See me, see me.' It was a very complicated kind of a thing. [...]

"And my mom was a great teacher; and a champion of the kids who had trouble. A champion of the kids who didn't fit right away. Bless her, y'know? And my sister's also a wonderful teacher."
