Why this must be read:
I love Five Things fics. It's actually a little sad, because anything that begins with "Five things" I will read. This fic is exactly why. These things that never happened to Dana Scully are scary, and wonderful and happy as well, but the ones that linger the most are the scary ones. The ones I would never want to happen. On the other, happier side, are vignettes that make me smile, and wish, and imagine.
Six months after I last read this fic I can still remember the final line -- and that is a powerful, powerful thing.
Scully quits two weeks after formally adopting Emily. She goes back to teaching at Quantico, half-days, clock in at twelve and home by five.
Mulder is surprisingly understanding when she tells him. She sits on the other side of his desk, hands folded, her blackest suit, ridiculously formal. Mulder twirls a pencil and doesn’t look at her.
When she’s finished (she had a spiel, she’d planned) he just says, Okay Scully. He helps her carry the boxes to her car, shuts her trunk. They say goodbye in the parking garage, Scully’s heels sinking into a puddle. He waves as she pulls out.
