I always think the question with MSR isn’t so much who fell first or fell harder—mainly because I personally think it was pretty simultaneous / parallel—but rather who became self-aware about their feelings first.
In my take on this ship, they may well have gone years without fully admitting to themselves how they felt, or fully addressing the feelings head on. They were so distracted by the work and the Truth and the heady emotional power of Partnership and Trust. It was just really possible for them to stay in denial, these two characters in particular.
I tend to think Mulder faced the music first—that he was the first to accept the feelings weren’t platonic. Maybe I think that because he’s the believer, or he’s a doomed Romantic in a big R sense. I could see this realization coming as early as Scully’s abduction, but it could have been as late as Never Again or the cancer arc, too.
Tumblr media
But I think @randomfoggytiger might argue it was Scully who understood her feelings first and waited for him to get his act together. I can be convinced of this, too, especially in fanfic. In The End, Scully has to have some awareness when she is stewing over Diana in that car. That could be her first realization, although it could have been earlier, too.
Tumblr media
I listened to the XF Diaries podcast’s recent interview with Frank Spotnitz, and he talked about how he viewed Mulder and Scully in season 6 and the FTF near-kiss. He said they didn’t talk about it because they both thought it was something they shouldn’t have been doing. He said the show couldn’t spell it out for the audience because the characters didn’t have their own feelings figured out.
Tumblr media
I thought that was striking, thinking about how all the way as late as season 6 the 1013 writers imagined them in this state of not fully realized feelings. I do get frustrated with this kind of talk because it seems so disembodied and unrealistic. I mean, six years, and they haven’t thought seriously about this?
But … also I admit to kind of liking this really repressed version of MSR. This version of MSR that just can’t get its shit together to admit what is happening. In other words, they aren’t exactly pining. They are more just in massive mutual denial. Fingers in ear, nah, nah, nah, I can’t hear you, no feelings here. That does make dialogue in season 6 episodes like Rain King and HTGSC and Milagro seem especially tense and loaded and fun.
Tumblr media
And I do like fanfic that depicts them being forced to come out of denial; it’s much rarer than fanfic with one or both of them consciously pining. I mean, please. Do not mistake me. I like the pining fanfic very much, too, and I write it more. It’s just interesting to think about.

Lol hello, I have another prompt and I thought of you. Could we see a small collection of sweet things people (like Skinner, TLG, Doggett, anyone) tried to do to help Scully while she was pregnant w/ William? I just think it's so adorable thinking of any of these people having to deal with a preganant woman, let alone Scully.
A Symphony of Support
@today-in-fic
The soft glow of morning sunlight filtered through the blinds of Dana Scully's apartment, casting a warm hue over the room. Her thoughts drifted to the past three months as she gingerly rubbed her growing belly. Her first and second trimesters of pregnancy had been undoubtedly difficult, and countless times she thought she’d lose the baby, especially when they found Mulder. 
It was a miracle. Scully had decided early on that she wanted to wait for a surprise, much to her mother’s chagrin. She didn’t understand it because she was sure her mother had to wait until her children were born before they knew the sex. Usually, she detested surprises, but she wanted complete autonomy over this one. Scully felt the baby was a boy, the mother’s intuition and all that, but all she truly cared about was that the baby was a healthy human—nothing more and nothing less.
Despite the difficult past several months, little did she know that a network of unlikely allies was conspiring to make the remainder of this journey as smooth and memorable as possible. 
Assistant Director Walter Skinner, a man of authority and discipline, was not one to easily reveal his softer side. However, when he learned of her pregnancy, his concern for her well-being took precedence. Not only did he have her back countless times to prevent her pregnancy from being used against her, but she’d also learned that he discreetly rearranged her assignments these past few months, keeping her away from high-stress cases. Despite her doctor’s insistence on pulling back from the field, she'd refused desk duty. 
"Your health comes first, Agent Scully," he would assert, his stern expression belying the genuine care in his voice.
Normally, she would have fought back, insisting that her pregnancy was a condition, not a disability, but she knew he was right. After they found Mulder, there was no reason to continue taking unnecessary risks with her and the baby’s health.
Once she started to show, the whispers and questions of water cooler conversation were inevitable; however, she couldn’t help but note the immediate silence that followed them each time AD Skinner made his presence known.
In an unexpected twist of fate, the Lone Gunmen, the eccentric conspiracy theorists, emerged as Scully's unexpected allies. Frohike, Langly, and Byers, fueled by their insatiable curiosity, immersed themselves in research about prenatal care and parenting. They handed her a meticulously compiled information folder with quirky footnotes and personalized advice. "Trust us, Scully; we know more than you'd think about babies," Frohike would chuckle, his enthusiasm infectious.
Scully couldn’t help the tears that betrayed her; damned pregnancy hormones. It sounded like something Mulder would have done.
Initially, she couldn’t stand Agent John Doggett, a large part of said water cooler conversations. However, he quickly proved his steadfast determination. Scully had recently learned of his son, Luke, who had been tragically killed during his days in NYPD. They shared an equal passion for justice. And his pursuit was one that she could appreciate and understand. 
He had formed an unlikely bond with Scully, having her back throughout every twist and turn. 
From carrying heavy files to checking in on her to offering helpful tips and suggestions, he’d remembered from his ex-wife’s pregnancy. "I've got your back, Agent Scully. Always," he would say with a reassuring smile.
With her empathetic nature, Agent Monica Reyes sensed the depth of Scully's emotions. Having faced her share of challenges as an adoptee, Reyes quickly lent a sympathetic ear and shared her insights. They often spent evenings talking, finding solace in each other's company. It was an openness she likened to her late sister, Melissa. She felt a gravitational pull she couldn’t explain after their first encounter, making her reach out to the New Orleans field agent, curious to learn more.
"You're not alone in this, Dana. We're in it together," Reyes would remind her, her eyes reflecting genuine understanding.
As Scully's due date drew closer, the collective efforts of Skinner, the Lone Gunmen, Doggett, and Reyes reached a crescendo. They came together to orchestrate a surprise baby shower, a testament to the camaraderie they had formed. Skinner secured a charming venue, the Lone Gunmen curated an eclectic playlist, Doggett handled the logistics, and Reyes planned heartwarming games.
The day of the baby shower arrived, and Scully walked into the room, her heart swelling with gratitude. The decorations were a blend of quirky conspiracy-themed elements and heartwarming sentiments. Laughter and conversations flowed freely, creating an atmosphere of warmth and unity. As Scully mingled with her friends and colleagues, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sadness as she realized once more that Mulder would not be there to share the journey.
Scully couldn't help but feel blessed. Skinner, the Lone Gunmen, Doggett, and Reyes had each played a unique note in this melody of support, and together, they had created a harmonious tune that resonated deep within her heart. Still, there would always be a gaping hole that somebody wouldn’t fill, that would only be filled by one person—her touchtone.

The FB algorithm showed me this little snippet of a poem from David Jones’ Love and Space Dust Volume II. Could not help but think of Mulder and Scully. I also thought about us the fans and the impression they left upon us from their very first meeting to their final embrace. Obviously I don’t mean to imply that is the last time Mulder and Scully see each other, but it is the final time that we get to bear witness to it. Unless of course Chris Carter has more tricks up his sleeve. But maybe they can just be happy in the unremarkable home with unremarkable lives and a non-alien baby.

"Just in case this doesn't work."
This is my final story for Fictober! It was meant to be short, just a few hundred words, but it's a little longer than expected. It will contain a few chapters (not certain how many yet) that will use the remainder of the prompts. Sorry to those pure MSR folks out there. This one will deviate from that with bisexual Scully. Maybe even bisexual Mulder!
Thanks to those with an open mind.
Prompt #21- "Just in case this doesn't work."
No beta, but my good friend AnonymousFijiMermaid did glance at this. This one is for you, my friend!
Tumblr media
Disclaimer: I don't recall where I first found this image, but it's hilarious and wonderful and kudos to the artist. Please tag them if you know who made this.
And now, for the main course! Thanks for reading!
1.
If there is one thing you could say about their sex life, it’s that they were always open, ready to experiment and try new things. Today Mulder and Scully are ready to push the boundaries of their relationship even more. It’s something they had talked about for a long time. Scully would often describe the act in great detail, building their excitement to explosive orgasms. 
“It’s really happening,” Mulder sys, fidgeting. 
Scully adjusts her dark wine-colored blouse and looked up at him. She senses his nervousness and she feels it too. The exhilaration of what they’re about to do rising inside her, threatening to spill over. 
“This is it,” she replies. “It’s happening.”
“What do you think it will be like?” Mulder wonders. 
“We’ll find out soon,” Scully smiles and walks to him, wrapping her arms around his waist. “You look very sexy.”
Mulder wears a tight gray shirt and jeans. Casual, but somehow breathtakingly arousing. She feels that her low-cut blouse, something she would never wear to work, and slacks that make her ass look amazing, work well with his look. They make one hot couple. 
Mulder takes her hand in his, says, “Just in case this doesn’t work, we’re still coming back here and having mind blowing sex, right?”
2. 
They had searched endlessly through profiles. Countless possibilities. But it took many long hours of conversation to find the right person. 
Getting passed Scully was the first, and toughest, test: was the person willing to be exclusive, discreet; were they intelligent and sexy, willing to have an open discussion about expectations? Mulder’s expectations were less intense: was their prospective “other” fun and sexy? Could they please both him and Scully?
After finally narrowing it down to one person, who was seemingly perfect for them, Mulder and Scully finally decided it was time they all met in person. 
They pull up to a bistro forty miles north of their home. It is quaint and quiet in the midday lull, perfect for a private chat. Mulder and Scully arrive early and sit facing the door, eagerly waiting for their guest. 
They each order a glass of wine to sip while they wait, the alcohol dulling those little butterflies in Scully’s stomach. 
“What do you think it will be like?” Scully asks.
Mulder ponders this for a minute and says, “Just like we always talked about. But also, Scully, if at any point you don’t feel comfortable, all you have to do is say so. There is no pressure at all.”
She smiles at her sweet, considerate man. Of course he would say that after they had discussed this at length. Of course he would ensure her comfort and pleasure. What more could she ask for?
“I know,” she says. “But there is no way I am changing my mind unless this person is a shapeshifting murderous monster.”
The door opens then and Mulder taps Scully’s hip under the table. They both look up to find their very attractive guest staring at them.
