Mulder X Scully - Tumblr Posts

Scully: Did it hurt when you fell?

Mulder *smirking* : From what? Heaven?

Scully: No, from the bus. You tripped on a step and just kinda laid there

Mulder:

Scully: We all saw it

There is nothing better then being sent to debunk someone’s work, just for you to fall into their trap and become friends while you slowly, but eventually, believe in the exact same things as them, but also managing to fall madly in love over the course of it all.

It’s truly the dream…

Fuck dating apps, I want to meet someone the old fashioned way (being assigned to work on the X-Files together and spending the next decade proving the existence of extraterrestrials and also falling in love)

the x-files: a summary

All I’m saying is that, if everyone found their Mulder to their Scully, the world would be a much happier, possibly alien filled, place!

i want what mulder and scully have.

LOOK AT THEM

god they're so in love

December Writing Challenge: MSR Ficmas // Day 27 - Roasting Marshmallows

"I can certainly think of worse ways to spend a New Years evening," Mulder jokes around a mouthful of smoky, gooey, chocolate-y goodness. She grins at his playfulness, using her thumb to smear away a bit of marshmallow from his bottom lip. They're sitting cozy and relaxed by Scully's fireplace, Mulder's injured arm in a sling as she feeds him bits of homemade s'mores.

He yawns noisily as she takes a bite of her own sugary treat. He's had quite an ordeal the past 24 hours and she's had to all but force him to sit and rest from last night's zombie romp. He's been okay for most of the day, but he seems quiet and reflective tonight.

"You okay?" She pulls her usual tactic of brushing her fingers through his hair during any suspicion of ill health.

"I just feel heavy and groggy right now," he shakes his head a little, blinking his eyes a few times.

"You're probably still a little dumbed down from your painkillers," she sips from her mug, "We can go to bed early tonight, see if you can sleep it off."

He nods, but she's not entirely convinced it's the pills affecting him right now. He keeps looking at her, pausing as if lost in thought and then glancing over again at the fire. He looks as he did before he kissed her at the hospital, shy and wonderous, wanting to say something but hesitant to make the jump.

"What is it?" She finally inquires, licking some marshmallow fluff off her fingers.

"What is what?"

"You seem distracted tonight."

"I'm sorry, I just..." He shakes his head a little, a thoughtful smile gracing his features, "You're so beautiful, Scully."

She gives him a playful but puzzled look, casting a glance at her casual attire: a cardigan with some simple black slacks. Her hair is damp from her shower and she's braless -- hardly in appropriate clothing for receiving the kind of compliments from him that make her feel warm and feminine.

He reaches out slowly, gently tracing her collarbone with a steady finger. Her eyes temporarily drift shut at the pleasure caused by the simplest of his touches.

"I look at you sometimes and I just ache with loving you," he says with such tenderness she feels the words in her throat, "I still can't believe I can openly show you how I feel." She knows the sensation he speaks of very, very well. To look at someone -- him -- and feel the pull of a love that almost hurts with its intensity, and to be able to reach for him. Bliss. She thinks back sometimes to something he'd said the third or fourth time they'd had sex -- he'd held her so close against his side and whispered words that she has heard in her dreams any night they've been apart since.

I didn't know love could feel good.

"It's going to be a good year, isn't it? Y2K," She asks softly, mapping his face with her eyes. He scrunches his nose as if he has to think about it.

"Most definitely a good year," his positivity charms her as he curls a lock of her hair behind her ear with his good hand, "The best."

I think it’s the funniest thing that in the pilot of the X-Files, cigarette smoking man and his posse really thought that sending in Scully, a woman of science, would be their own Trojan Horse and a way to take Mulder out, only for Scully to see the plan all along and join Mulder’s side, thus creating a chain and effect lasting over a course of years to what would inevitably be the higher ups own downfall.

I never not laugh now at this thought when watching the pilot, because they really did that.

They shot themselves.

What if Mulder and Scully’s kid(s) ever asked how they met.

Would it literally be Mulder just saying, “Well, your mom was sent to destroy my life’s work on hunting down the truth about aliens and the other freaky unknowns of this world, but I somehow convinced her to join me instead.”

If you squint, Anastasia (1997) is just an X-Files MSR AU

The best part about the X-Files is Scully telling Mulder there isn’t a case here, and then continues to go off to another state with him and solves a whole case.

you're stuck in the elevator with your pfp what are doing

we need to stop being so desperate about finding aliens. we need to play hard to get, pretend like we couldn’t care less. watch them come rushing into our atmosphere

Sometimes you gotta wonder how Mulder was allowed out in the field before Scully. I imagine him working cases alone would be like:

Mulder: “Yes sir I can confirm aliens landed in your wheat field and killed all 8 of your cows, but the good news is you’re still here and the aliens aren’t so I wouldn’t worry too much. Of course being you didn’t keep any evidence because those men in black…wait, did you keep any evidence??!?!”

Mulder: “No ma’am the sergeant has it wrong, your son wasn’t abducted by a human, the obvious culprit is Bigfoot. No other explanation with a footprint that big out in your yard. I mean come on…look at it!”

Mulder: “Okay Skinner I know how my report sounds, but before you start yelling, I swear on my life it’s 100 percent true.”

Skinner: “…”

“You said a tree creature tried to drag you into the woods with its branch like arms, Mulder…”

Mulder: “…”

“Huh…well now that I hear it out loud…do you think it may have not been trying to kill me but show me something important?”

If Scully had an Instagram account.

remember how mulder and scully literally were on tv and people were like ‘oh my god they need to kiss so bad and be in a relationship so bad’ and invented an entire pop subculture about it and called themselves [relation]shippers and now here we are 30 years later and we have teen vogue articles about who ships taylor swift ewith the newest white boy of the month or whatever WHO GIVE A SHIT!!!!!!!!!! what about YOU KEPT ME HONEST YOU MADE ME A WHOLE PERSON I OWE YOU EVERYTHING SCULLY AND YOU OWE ME NOTHING I DONT KNOW IF I WANNA DO THIS ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT ABOUT THAT!!!!!

People complaining about how how apparently msr isn’t relevant but keeps getting all these votes are just so funny to me because the X files fandom is very alive for a 30 year old show. Maybe it doesn’t have as many fics in ao3 compared to others but that’s because it predates ao3.

Every day gifs are being posted, fics are coming out, art and fancams/edits are being posted on every social media site. Hell I’ve even been involved in drama on Twitter so I feel like that’s a signifier than the fandom is still relevant and alive

The x files fandom is very alive, you just have to know where to look.

the year is 2024. I am watching The X Files 1x08 with my blissfully offline boyfriend. We reach the scene where, in confinement, Mulder and Scully examine each other's backs for alien marks. My boyfriend, who has never seen the show before, makes an amused noise and utters a strong contender for understatement of the year:

"I'm guessing there's fanfiction about these two"

sure tithonus is great. scully straight up gets shot when mulder isn't there. the drama is real. etc. etc.

but CONSIDER.

if mulder HAD been in the room with her when she'd slid down the wall and started bleeding out he would have had the world's biggest breakdown and cradled her in his arms whilst freaking out. i'm not sure any of us would have been able to cope with that. it would have been like. the significantly more distressing reversal of the bank heist scene in monday. the cheek stroking. the "i have to get my partner out of here" sobbing. you get me. it could have been great. it could have been DEVASTATING-

watching s9 is like well u know if mulder were here he would be playing with that baby every day. Scully makes the big bucks at her quantico teaching gig and comes home to her househusband whose whole world revolves around tummy time now . The apartment is a fucking mess. Mulder spent the whole day building a baby obstacle course to teach william to crawl. He seems to think if he doesn’t kiss baby on forehead every 5 minutes that baby might die. Mulder and scully’s mom develop a friendship that really freaks Scully out . He thinks there’s a conspiracy happening at the mommy and me class he takes William to (he’s right). He gets very obsessed with sesame street. Every baby book he buys is about aliens. Mulder at the Internet cafe googling “how early is too early to show infant son E.T.” He’s like we have to introduce him to the concept of aliens early Scully . What ever happened to family traditions . She’s like mulder we will teach him about aliens when he’s good and ready. He spends 3 days gathering scholarly materials about how introducing difficult subject matter early to children is Good Actually <333 I miss him so much

i stan sweet badass dorks in love until the day i die

(i'm watching ST now so there'll be Jopper content right here uh-hum)
