Banging Your Head Against a Red-Haired Brick Wall by Blair Provence (PG)

Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Other; Mulder/Scully... something, implied
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: None that I know of

Why this must be read: The summary for this story reads, "Another's candid view of Mulder and Scully, or, An Essay on Why It Sucks To Be The Other." This is a fast-paced story whose strength is its funny, rueful, resilient, refreshingly non-neurotic protagonist.



"Never fall in love with a cop."

That's what Ma always told me - it's practically the sum total of the advice she felt it necessary to offer me on the subject of love and romance. Not that she's an uncaring mother - she just has an unwavering faith in the discover-the-pitfalls-yourself school of child-rearing. In general, I appreciate this approach, but lately I find myself wishing she'd at least pressed her chosen point a little more forcefully.

[...]

In my own defense, I didn't go out *looking* to fall in love with one.

And he wasn't exactly a *cop*, either.

Just an FBI Agent.

With a partner.

A *female* partner.

Geez, Ma, you couldn't have been just a *little* more specific?
