Why this must be read: Yet another story detailing the slow way Mulder and Scully finally get together, but I love the device the author uses in this fic. The passion fruit the title refers to is the apple, which according to Mulder, "As a gift, an apple represented the giver's eagerness to begin a romantic relationship." Beautifully written and sweet.
Finally, he selects a
folder labeled 'recon' and almost chokes on his
coffee when he sees that all of the file names begin
with the same six letters. All are photos, some close up,
some far away. There are a few random snapshots, but
most are crime scene pictures. And each is an image of
Scully.
"Damn it, Mulder. I can't leave you alone for one
minute."
Frohike's voice startles him, but he regains his
composure admirably. "What are these all about?"
"She's hot." Noting the way his friend bristles,
Frohike is quick to amend. "Relax, big guy. We're
not stalking Scully. We just happened to intercept
a few files."
"But there are over 20 pictures here. It must've
taken awhile to find these... accidentally," Mulder
chides, adding air quotes to the last word for
emphasis.
"Not really. It's a Lone Gunmen special ops mission.
As I told the guys, we're collecting 'em for you."
Mulder looks genuinely confused. "Why?"
Frohike clicks on the first icon, and the picture
unfolds. Scully crouches beside a victim but is
looking up at something outside of the frame. "We
wanted to give you concrete evidence. This is the
way she looks at you, even when you're arguing
over a stiff." He pauses for effect. "So do
something about it, already."
