NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR WRITING X-FILES MERLIN AU, WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY. omg. I never wrote any fic for X-Files 'cos what the hell did I know the FBI. But I did so enjoy Mulder and Scully's overprotectiveness of each other, and also their hotness. God, Mulder/Scully, one of my first ships.
Merlin: IT WAS AN AFANC. Arthur: We have a retrovirus contaminating the town's water supply. Merln: THAT'S HOW AFANCS KILL PEOPLE. Arthur: ...
Arthur: *IS ABDUCTED!!* Merlin: *goes crazy, goes after his sketchy informants (like the Dragon) with much ferocity for little result* Arthur: *is returned! ...with bonus alien cancer* Merlin: *is consumed by overwhelming guilt* But Arthur is like, stop fucking beating yourself up about it, we all knew the risks when we took on this job. And Merlin says, "Your job was to derail and debunk my research. Maybe I should've let you."
And Arthur becomes FURIOUS that Merlin would even say that.
