When are the rest of the episode analysis posts coming?? Please tell me they are. I just started re-watching the X-files and your analysis has been fuelling my re-obsessions (or re-fuelling my obsession?) Then it stopped before Beyond the Sea and broke my heart!!

Sorry!  The reality is that I probably won’t finish them, and if I did come back to them it probably wouldn’t be any time soon.  A lot of stuff going on in my life right now and season 11 really burned my enthusiam for the show. Sad, I know.

Hi. There, I'm re watching TXF and I love reading your analysis about MSR. I'm looking season 1 every episodes I've finished reading the 'Ice' The next I'm looking for 'Fire' episode .I cant find it. Thanks .

Your episode analyses are absolutely wonderful! However, the link to your recap of “Ice” appears to be broken. Just FYI :) I would love to read it whenever/if it becomes available again.

Thank you for letting me know this. It got flagged for adult content apparently. Very weird! I appealed and it was restored so you can now read it. Enjoy! 😉

Best £1.49 I’ve spent all week.

Heads up for anyone who wants to buy Go Your Own Way by Lissie in lossless quality (I’m an audiophile snob -- 320kbps isn’t good enough for me!), it’s the last track on the Safe Haven soundtrack and can be bought from qobuz.  This is gonna be on repeat until next Friday.

Their first dance as ‘Dr and Mrs Tyler.’ (He insisted on the name.) (She insisted on the tux.)

5 headcanon Mulder and Scully have a serious conversation about their relationship post Rush

Only You

mature | 1.6k wds | post-Rush, implied Per Manum

A/N: This is a variation on the conversation from “Plus One,” which everyone knows really belonged in season seven. I’m sorry it took me so long to get to this prompt—I had to catch up to “Rush” in my rewatch. It’s also not in the numbered 5 headcanon format because it didn’t really seem to work that way. I haven’t felt very capable of writing lately, so I don’t know how this is. It’s some words, I guess, which s more than I thought I could produce.

_+_

“Maybe we’re too old,” he’d said. “Back in the day,” he’d sad.

She feels every minute of her almost thirty-six years. Knows the phrase advanced maternal age would apply to her now were it even possible for her to become pregnant. Which it is not. Does that make her an old maid? Her mother has stopped asking about her future, for which she is grateful.

Their life seems bound to be only this: the chase, the work, the occasional comfort of each other’s arms when time and affection allows. They are friends. They are sometimes lovers. They are hot and cold. They never (never but once, that awkward New-Year’s kiss) display their affection publicly.

“Come on, Mulder, let’s go.” She tugs at his arm, and they leave Tony Reed’s hospital room, enter the sterile hallway of scrubbed floors and mixed medicinal smells.

“You okay?” He asks at the elevator.

She shrugs, thinking of the way Chastity had eyed Mulder, of the way Max had done the same to her, but held his evaluation in the past tense. The insecurity is stupid, irrational, offensive to her feminist sensibilities. And yet…

She shakes her head. “Fine,” she says.

In the car he touches her knee; she startles to look at him. “Dinner?”

Ah, she thinks. It will be that kind of night. Hot, not cold. “I have food at my place,” she says. “We could throw something together?”

His fingers tighten over the fabric, draw a subtle circle on the inside of her lower thigh. “Okay.”

—

“Are we old, Mulder?”

They are stretched on her couch, her head in his lap while he runs his fingers through her hair.

“Why do you say that?”

She shrugs, hooking her fingers over his wrist, pulling it down to kiss his pulse point. The room smells of cinnamon from the lit candle on her coffee table. “I feel old,” she says.

“You’re not old.”

“Hmm.”

They returned from Pittsfield two hours ago to a hasty dinner and a bottle of wine, and now they are slow and sleepy. He moves his left hand to the waistband of her pants, tucking only the tips of his fingers under. She arches, just a bit, to let him know she likes it.

She sighs. “I’m not young either.”

He frowns, gives her hip a squeeze. “Scully,” he says. “What’s this about?”

She turns her face away, her body too, so she’s looking at his knees and his hand is on her ribs over her shirt. “What if you meet someone else?”

His muscles stiffen under her head. “What?”

It’s quiet for a moment as she thinks.

“Scully.”

“Hmm.”

“There’s no one else.”

Another sigh. “Not now.”

“Not ever.”

She’s quiet again.

“Hey.” He tugs her up, pulls her so she’s sitting across his lap, holds her face in his hands. “Not ever.”

“Mulder, what are we doing? What are we?” She can’t believe she’s said it aloud, voiced the rabid, gnawing question that’s been eating at her for months. Her face is hot with having spoken it and she feels she needs to redirect, reframe. “I mean what’s going to happen?”

“What’s going to happen when?”

“When we really are old. When we retire. When the Bureau finally kicks us out?” When there isn’t work, she wants to say. What will hold us together?

“I’ll always be around, Scully.”

Around, she thinks. Calling her on the weekends, maybe. Showing up with beer and popcorn when he’s in the mood for more than monster hunting. “Just hanging out?”

“I’ll be wherever you want me,” he says. “I’m right here.”

“And what will we do?” She asks, shifting her weight on his lap, lifting her arms to his neck, leaning into him.

A low rumble of laughter in his chest, his hands moving freely now over her body. “We’ll think of something,” he murmurs. She dives in to catch his mouth, draws her tongue across his lips. He pulls her tight to him, devours her insecurities, smothers her in love so she cannot doubt.

Hey there! I just started reading your analysis of The X-files, I think I'm around episode 5 or 6 now, and I'm super impressed by how many you have done, and especially how detailed you are! I'm really enjoying myself - you write extremely interesting! I can't wait to read more of your posts - you've done a great job! :-)

#thank you so much #glad they're still being enjoyed

[agentelmo]

Where did you watch a discovery of witches?

I watched it on SkyOne. I’m in the UK, it started airing here on SkyOne last Friday. But there are definitely ways of “procuring” the episodes if you’re outside the UK. 🤫

Thanks for the write ups, Elmo, I'm quite enjoying those. Was the origin of the name Fox explained at any point? I can't recall any such reference. I get a couple of hippy naturalists naming their baby Bambi, but the Mulders always struck me as such uptight WASPs. Thanks, AbbyGale

Hi AbbyGale,

I totally get what you mean, it seems so unlikely doesn’t it?  At least from what we know of the Mulders they don’t seem like the types to name their kid “Fox”.  Whatever hippy phase they were going through in the early 60′s it had clearly passed by the time their second child was born lol!

Sadly though, the show never explained the origin of Mulder’s first name.  The show barely makes reference to it at all.  The only explanation we ever got was from Chris Carter himself which as I recall, he said it was the name of a friend when he was at school.

Can you help me out? I’m looking for a fic I read a while ago. It takes place after the apartment scene in Three Words. After Mulder is cold and ungrateful, Scully leaves but remains parked in front of his apartment. She falls asleep there and Mulder finds her there some time later. She freaks out and he takes her back up. It was a short but good little fic.

I know exactly what fic you’re talking about, because I read it too.  But I couldn’t tell you where to find it sadly.  I have the memory of a sieve!  

Can anyone help Anon out?
