Jamestown, North Dakota
{REPOST} My first challenge! This fic holds a special place in my heart because I used to spend my summers in ND. I had to do some research on Sioux indian folklore, so I hope it's accurate enough. Thanks to @viceversawrites for beta'ing it and creating this challenge!
Mulder comforts Scully with a surprise picnic under the stars after a particularly difficult case in North Dakota.
_____________________________
He's been at the Stutsman County Sheriff's Office since seven o'clock this morning, sifting through piles of evidence and paperwork and following up on leads that have gotten him nothing. Nowhere.
The dizzying flicker of overhead lights, along with the smell of old coffee and cigarettes, makes his head throb. He rubs incessantly at his temples with the pads of his fingers, willing the pain to subside.
He's not surprised that it doesn't.
He closes his eyes, wincing, as pictures of young girls' mutilated bodies burn into his retinas like a phosphorescent afterimage. He'll have to remember not to sleep tonight.
The familiar ring of his cell phone pierces through his frazzled brain, and he scrambles across the desk to grab it, spilling a cup of water on his lap in the process.
"Mul-- shit. Mulder," he answers as he dabs at the wet spot with an old napkin that had been hanging around since lunch earlier.
"Mulder, are you ready to come get me? It's nearly nine o'clock. I feel like I've been at this for days, and I don't know if I can stomach another autopsy tonight."
Guilt prickles at his conscience like a cold, jarring rain. He feels like such an ass. Here he was feeling sorry for himself because he was stuck examining those grisly photos strewn across his makeshift desk all day, when it was Scully who had to face the horrors up close and personal.
He doesn't know how she does it, case after case.
"Of course," he replies. "Lemme just wrap this up, and I'll be there in ten."
His egress is swift. He stops only to stuff folders into his briefcase and clean up his mess before grabbing his jacket, and pushing his way through heavy steel doors to freedom. A warm, gentle breeze greets him on the other side, seeping into his bones and calming his weary soul.
It's dusk, now.
Bands of colorful light stubbornly cling to the remnants of sunshine as they disappear behind the horizon-- caught in limbo between earth and sky-- waiting their turn to be swallowed by the darkness. Day and night locked in an endless battle for time and space.
The sky seems so much bigger in North Dakota. More so than any other state he's been to. Its awe-inspiring presence towers over everything, claiming dominion over the land and making anything tethered to the earth seem infinitesimally small.
That's why he likes it out here. Back home, people call him a weirdo for always staring at the heavens. Here, it's impossible not to.
Here, the heavens stare at you.
•••••
The radio station spits and crackles half a country song through the speakers before Scully reaches to turn it off with a sigh, bathing the car in empty silence. The cabin of the car vibrates as the tires beat a path through dusty, gravel backroads to their motel outside town.
They've had to wash the car three times since arriving here.
"You wanna eat at that truck stop diner before we reach the motel? The one with the really good curly fries?" He sends the question out into the void, his stomach growling for attention.
"No. I just want a hot bath and a bed."
He steals a glance in her direction. Her wistful gaze is fixed upon the slideshow flicker of moonlit prairieland streaming past her window. She seems upset. He thinks he knows why.
"Look, Scully… this case. I know it's hard. I know what you're going through."
"Do you, Mulder?" she quips. "Do you, really?" She's turned to look at him now, her pointed stare cutting through him like a stone-sharp arrow.
"I think so," he says hesitantly. "This is probably one of the worst cases we've been on."
"Yeah…" she scoffs then looks away, as if composing her thoughts, before continuing.
"I spent my entire day cutting open the corpses of young, innocent girls whose families may never get the privilege of knowing or understanding what happened to them," she starts, her voice straining against the overwhelming emotion bleeding through.
"I had to speak with the families-- mothers and fathers and elder tribal leaders-- to convince them I needed to conduct these autopsies to find answers. That there was no other way," her voice begins to waver, and his stomach clinches at the sound of her holding back tears. "And I tried to do it with dignity, Mulder. I did."
He represses the urge to reach over and gather her small hand in his, unsure if now is the right time, if she'd at all be receptive to it. His fingers almost make the journey across the console before her voice startles them back.
"I fought this entire day with local law enforcement and coroners who treated these victims and their families like castaways. Who didn't think they warranted the kind of comprehensive investigation needed to solve this case because they lived on an indian reservation. Because they weren't white."
"I'm so sorry, Scully," he whispers, waging an internal struggle within himself, deciding whether or not to stop the car, to pull her into his arms, before ultimately choosing against it. They're almost at the motel. And he doesn't trust himself not to let things get too far.
"I had no idea you had to go through that today. If I'd known..."
"There wasn't anything that you could've done, Mulder," she says defeatedly. "I guess… I'm just tired. I really just want to go to bed and forget it."
He understands, he does. He wants the same. Except he can't face that empty motel room of his alone.
They pull into the parking lot and he kills the engine. The vibrations from their rough journey still linger throughout his body, his ears buzzing in the silence, and he waits.
"You, um, wanna come in-- over? To my room?" His voice is fraught with nervous anticipation-- a teenager asking his crush to prom.
"Mulder-- I… I don't think it's a good idea. We're on a case, and we decided to stay in our respective rooms. Remember?"
He remembers. His selective memory is just having a difficult time remembering why he'd agreed to it. Especially now when all he wants to do is gather her in his arms and make her forget this day ever happened.
He wants to forget.

The apartment search website Abodo created a map outlining the most racist areas in the nation. The site used software that tracked over 12 million tweets posted in 2014 and 2016, filtering out tweets with racial slurs.
Based on these findings, West Virginia was revealed to be the most racist state. Maryland and Louisiana were also the most racist states based on racial slurs used on Twitter.
---------------------------------
Most Racist States [Updated May 2023]
Racism is defined as prejudice or discrimination against people of different races. A racist person believes that his or her race is superior, while other races are inferior. While Americans might think that racism is most prevalent in the United States, it is considered more welcoming and accepting than many other countries. Some of the most racist countries are Bahrain, Lebanon, India, South Africa.
Racism in a given area isn’t something that can be measured like population or area. Polls and surveys can be used, but these aren’t always accurate. Other data, such as instances of hate crimes and hate speech, can also be used to determine where racism is most prevalent.
Because of this, it’s difficult to measure what states in the U.S. are the most racist. However, some organizations and publications have attempted to measure racism throughout the United States. The following contains some of these findings.
Arizona - 75.16
Hawaii - 74.48
Texas - 74.08
Montana - 73.95
Maryland - 72.84
New Mexico - 72.80
Wyoming - 72.77
Alaska - 72.46
Washington - 72.43
Georgia - 72.35
Kentucky - 71.44
Delaware - 71.28
Idaho - 69.92
West Virginia - 69.45
Virginia - 69.19
Florida - 69.08
North Carolina - 68.18
Colorado - 68.06
Tennessee - 67.77
Nevada - 67.71
Vermont - 65.86
Rhode Island - 65.80
Oklahoma - 65.54
California - 65.30
Indiana - 64.37
Missouri - 63.88
New Jersey - 62.84
Alabama - 62.72
Kansas - 62.11
Connecticut - 61.80
Utah - 61.68
Arkansas - 61.62
Massachusetts - 61.12
Mississippi - 60.55
Oregon - 60.22
New Hampshire - 59.95
South Carolina - 59.88
New York - 59.74
Maine - 59.73
Ohio - 57.66
North Dakota - 55.99
Michigan - 55.32
Nebraska - 54.91
Pennsylvania - 54.69
Louisiana - 54.18
Illinois - 53.13
South Dakota - 52
Minnesota - 49.84
Iowa - 44.68
Wisconsin - 33.01
DC - 28.36
Another study was conducted by data scientist Seth Stephens-Davidowitz using Google search data. Based on this data, the study found that the most racist regions in the United States are the rural Northeast and South, which were slave states before the American Civil War.
Searches containing racial slurs were most prevalent in the Appalachian region from Georgia to New York and Vermont.
High concentrations of racist searches were discovered in areas along the Gulf Coast, the Upper Peninsula region in Michigan, and Ohio.
However, it is important to note that these findings aren’t an official ranking of racist states. These studies give some idea of areas in the nation where racism may occur. Some of the states that have made the most racial progress are New Mexico, Hawaii, and Wyoming.
Here are the 10 states with the highest total racism scores:
District of Columbia - 28.36
Wisconsin - 33.01
Iowa - 44.68
Minnesota - 49.84
South Dakota - 52
Illinois - 53.13
Louisiana - 54.18
Pennsylvania - 54.69
Nebraska - 54.91
Michigan - 55.32

I don't understand why we have 50 states anymore. They can't do anything significant without permission, and the borders are mostly arbitrary lines on a map.
"Well down here we treat women like shit." "Over here six families have most of the money." "In this one, Jesus says we can tax turkeys at a weird percentage." Like, other than an excuse for 50 different groups of obnoxious hall monitors to ruin everyone's fun and then brag about it, what do we gain from any of this? How is this better than everybody doing the same shit everywhere, because most of us agree that is the best way?
Divide the US into like 5 geographic districts managed by neutral professional administrators obeying the laws of the federal Congress. Then everyone gets the same good schools and good water systems and reasonable welfare situation.
Plus think of all the money we save on no state governments and no elections to fill them with the nuttiest attention-seeking racists.

I wouldn't. I would, instead, make my school better for everyone.
"Inclusivity" does not mean "include only people you like". This, right here, is called "favoritism" — or if you want to be more aggressive about it, "classism" or even "segregation".
… but, what the ██ do I know? As far as anyone assumes, I'm a straight, white, cisgender male who "hates anyone different". So.

*Ohio watching Criminal Minds sitting down and excitedly hitting her knees together(not hard and with a blanket on)*

When they try to make school harder for LGBTQ+ youth...we make it better.
Over the past 2 years, students across the U.S. have used our 50 States 50 Grants funds to...
Build gender-affirming closets and gender-neutral bathrooms at school
Host their school's first Pride fest or Pride conference
Educate parents and teachers
Fund their GSA club
And so many other rad projects to support their queer students!
Apps are open for Season 3 now through April 1, 2024 - if you have an idea for how you'd use up to $10,000 at your own school (or if you know someone in middle or high school who could), reblog and spread the word!
