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.

"Hey, Scully, let's go have sex in the morgue."
"Let's!"

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.

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:

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.
