Why this must be read: Chances are, if you're an X-Files fan who has done time in the fandom, you had some kind of reaction to the "Mulder/Diana" note above. And with that being said, no matter what reaction you just had, this is a story you really need to read.
Talk about taking a minor female character and turning her into someone deep and interesting! "Samson" does exactly what Diana Fowley fic needs to do, dealing with her mysterious relationship with Mulder and her season 6 status as MSR foil, and remembering that she has her own backstory that must be dealt with. I love what Aloysia did here, with biting dialogue and bittersweet description. No fairy tale here - you get the sense throughout that if this were a filmed vignette, it would be done with one camera, filtered in grays, with sharp contrasts and harsh lighting.
He glared, but he stood and pulled them on without feigning modesty. "Would you like some coffee?" he queried. "The blood of a blond virgin?"
"Oh, is Langly coming by?" Diana peered in the mirror and squinted, examining her jaw line. Not too bad at all. She worked hard to keep herself fit and the benefits were myriad. It may be time to cut the hair though, she thought. It had begun to feel conspicuously youthful.
Behind her, Fox headed to the bathroom, his shorts slouchy around his narrow hips. She considered embarrassing him by following after, but decided against it. The toilet flushed, the water ran for a moment, and Fox emerged with a cheap purple toothbrush in his hand.
"Here," he said, holding it out to her.
She accepted it and opened the plastic package. "Do you buy these in bulk?"
He sighed. "I'm not who you want me to be," he told her. "Does that ruin the thrill for you?"
