HOW HAVE I FORGOTTEN HOW IN LOVE MULDER AND SCULLY ARE. omg. I've been watching episodes of season 2, and the complete season 1 is almost done downloading, and just. OMG. I need the rest of this show like right now.
Scully is so RAD. Gillian Anderson is incredibly beautiful but the show never exploits that, and she is supersmart and has the biggest balls, but is still a paragon of how you don't have to be "one of the boys" to kick their asses and take their names. Scully <333
WHO IS IN THE MOOD FOR MULDER/SCULLY PICSPAM 'cos I fucking am. I found most of these pics from this X-Files shippers website WHICH I CANNOT BELIEVE STILL EXISTS. I was reading fics from this website in fucking MIDDLE SCHOOL. whaaaat. Maybe even elementary. I remember everyone being all excited over 'Memento Mori' and Mulder's red Speedo and *~hazel eyes~*, sunflower seeds, gosh. GOSH. OH PRE-LJ DAYS. Making homepages on Geocities with a guestbook from Bravenet. Then I thought to me, "Hmm, I wonder if... Maybe it's still... omg it's still around."
First things first. The world's awesomest Rolling Stone photoshoot.

SURPRISE CHRIS CARTER D:

"Hey, Scully, let's go have sex in the morgue."
"Let's!"
wtf. This picture is too bizarre not to include.
fhjkds the fingers on the neckkkk
HI MY NAME IS CAPSLOCK KEYSMASHERSON
<333333333
I have no idea who the guy on the left is. But look at all them faces! READING MAD MAGAZINE. AHAHAHAHA.
While Gillian Anderson continues to be sexy forever, David Duchovny just sorts of look like the plainest gargoyle here.
David and Gillian, or Mulder and Scully? Hard to tell.
AU I'll never write #8974297: Mulder!Merlin, Scully!Arthur, and Gaius!Skinner.

(OMG WE NEED AN AU WHERE ARTHUR AND MERLIN ARE FBI AGENTS WHO GET STUCK AS PARTNERS AND THEN FALL IN LOVE! BONUS POINTS IF MORGANA WAS ABDUCTED IN CHILDHOOD, BUT PLAYS AN ACTUAL ROLE LATER IN THE FIC.)
no subject
AHAHAHA and here I thought you weren't a Merlin/Arthur girl. WELL THEN. (Gaius is the AD who flips back and forth between supporting Merlin and Arthur on cases, and telling them they need to calm down. The Dragon is a sketchy informant. Gwen is forensic specialist! Will is... probably PD.)
no subject
Will is Merlin's childhood BFF who is now in jail! But soon to be released. We think he's working for the mob. Merlin grew up in a sketchy neighborhood. Arthur's father was a rich politician who is disappointed in Arthur's choice of career. Bonus points if Merlin and Arthur have a heart to heart about that. More bonus points if it has something to do with Morgana. (Like maybe we can move away from the alien idea, and perhaps Morgana was kidnapped for semi-political reasons and Arthur blames his father and wants nothing to do with politics now?)
BASICALLY LET'S JUST MAKE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MOB, ALWAYS.
...BONUS POINTS FOR SOMEHOW WORKING CONSIGLIERE EDMUND PEVENSIE INTO THIS.
no subject
Bonus points if Merlin goes to some family function of Arthur's, and Arthur introduces him around as his partner, and misunderstandings ensue. UHHHH, and also Arthur having a meeting with Edmund in a bar, to discuss certain things. 'Cos possibly the Pevensies had something to do with Morgana's kidnapping, but no one can prove anything. Edmund and Arthur try to out-manipulate each other, but Edmund can see that Arthur is too emotional, and the kind of retribution and information that Arthur's looking for, he's not going to get it this way.
And later, Merlin is like, "What were you doing meeting with Edmund Pevensie?"
Arthur says, "None of your business."
"My partner is meeting with the consigliere of one of the most powerful families in the city and you're telling me it's not my business."
Arthur says, "Yep."
So Merlin does some investigation of his own. Possibly with Will's help.

FLIRTED FOR LIKE, SIX WHOLE SEASONS AND NOTHING CAME OF ITSPENT SIX WHOLE SEASONS CRAZY RABBIT-FUCKING BEHIND THE SCENES? I LOVE THEMMMMMM OMG. I was never particularly fannish about the X-Files and I guess somehow I forgot how much I loved them? AND NOW IT IS ALL COMING BACK TO ME. CAPSLOCKCAPSLOCKCAPSLOCK. Did you know there is an X-Files bigbang? I only discovered this recently!Also I approve of this X-Files AU!
It would start something like this, amirite?
As far as he can tell, Arthur (Dr. Pendragon to FBI agents and other subordinate life-forms) has two options: he can view this assignment as the borderline-demotion it probably is, or the opportunity for advancement that he knows he can make it. It would be easy to be pessimistic about this; four years of medical school, and three year residency in pathology (OR WHATEVER, LIKE I CARE WHAT KIND OF DOCTOR HE IS) at MassGeneral, and now he's here, in the basement, about to meet his partner, the eccentric (translation, if rumours are to be believed: batshit crazy, education-and-life-squandering) Merlin Emrys, graduate of Princeton and Oxford, specialist in (oh God) paranormal activity.
It's not perfect, but Arthur is nothing if not a pragmatist; you don't spend eleven years on your education if you don't think you're damn well going to get something out of it, and he knows he can damn well get something out of this too.
This is: until he meets the agent in question. Well, he meets the mess first, and the agent shortly after, and thirdly, the poster on the wall that declares (almost as if he's fucking proud of it, the psychopath - not that Arthur believes in misusing medical terms, even archaic ones; he genuinely thinks this might be the case here) that the owner of the poster "wants to believe" in fucking aliens. Or flying saucers, whatever.
"Admiring my poster?" asks Emrys.
He glares. "Hardly. But I must admit, I'm glad to know what you want out of the FBI: to believe in aliens? Really? And I'm sure you know what I want, so we can just agree to not get in each other's ways and this will work out fine."
It's sort of insensitive, considering Emrys's sister's unsolved disappearance, but Emrys just leans against his desk with an infuriating smirk and says, "Haven't you heard the rumours? I already do."
"I don't listen to rumours," says Arthur.
OMG I AM SORRY, I TALK TOO MUCH. D:
no subject
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.
