Out of Our Minds by Sarah Segretti and haphazard method (PG-13)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Length: 13,000+ words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Sarah Segretti: The Little Things, hap's home
Why this must be read: I love fics that deal with Mulder's telepathy in Biogenesis. What would have happened had the telepathy not been removed from Mulder? And more importantly, how would Scully react, when confronted yet again with hard evidence regarding extraterrestrial existence, but this time in the form of her partner? According to Sarah and hap, the answer is really, really badly.
I feel a light pluck at my sleeve. Mulder. His gaze is not focused, but somehow he knows where to look to see me. Byers rockets the van out of the parking lot, and I'm thrown on top of Mulder. Chest to chest, I lift my head to meet his bleary eyes.
"Million and one," he says, barely audible.
I hear it, he'd said in Skinner's office, in my head.
That's not possible, I tell myself. That's just not possible.
And I keep telling myself that as I watch him recover in a real hospital bed, as I sit across from him at his kitchen table while he wolfs down his first solid food in weeks, as we take a slow walk around his neighborhood on a warm summer morning so that he can regain his physical strength and I can tell him about Africa without being overheard.
The look of hope on his face when I tell him one possible theory I have about the craft's origin is something to behold. But oddly, I find myself shielding my thoughts, not allowing my feelings to take shape. As if I didn't want him to know how plausible I found that theory.
As if I didn't want him to know how much it pleased me to see him happy.
