You had me at the hilarious disclaimer.

No, seriously, this touched a nerve as it reminded me of "conversations" (read: reenactments of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf") I've had all summer with my husband who is working only part-time while on break from law school about the care and feeding of our housework. I felt for Scully as she sat on the porch, fuming and eventually falling asleep. Oh, yes I did.

This was wonderful. I'm glad you decided to dip your toes into the fic pool. There were so many lines that I just adored:

"Cheese. We'll be urban refugee cheese farmers. That's our cover."

So THAT's the story behind the yuppie cheese-makers at my farmer's market.

I know you must be terribly busy, what with your pretend cheese farming and, and trying to overthrow the government via the internet, but Jesus Christ, are you incapable of picking up after yourself like a grown human being.One of those lines where I wanted to stand up and and yell, "I am so with you on that, Scully

Urban refugee cheese farmer is totally on my list of back-up careers if this academia thing doesn't work out.

I'm really glad you liked it, especially enough to rec it! My inner approval monkey does a happy dance. I certainly hope I have more in me...

Oh this was made of win! It really made me smile and see some funny parallels with my own life. Thanks for sharing this :)

This is wonderful! And oh-so-true to the whole learning to live with people thing.

...when all she wanted to do was go and curl her body around him and keep him warm and promise him he would never have to wash the floor ever again, ever ever, if he could just please not almost die.

Awwwwww. I love them.

Glad you liked it...and glad that there is apparently something universal in fighting about socks, and it's not just me.

Oh, this is wonderful!

It's hilarious and sort of quietly heartbreaking and very much Mulder and Scully. *happy sigh*

Too many marvelous lines to quote, so I'll just say I love your writing style!

[amalnahurriyeh]

hilarious and sort of quietly heartbreaking

Amazingly, that was *exactly* what I was going for, so thank you!

[mack_the_spoon]

Excellent. You're welcome. You definitely succeeded!

This is hilarious, touching, real, just generally fantastic. And Mulder and Scully being domestic and having a difficult time is so stinking hot! Thanks, I totally enjoyed! (But as the messy one, I was definitely feeling for Mulder.)

[amalnahurriyeh]

Oh, I am so the Mulder of my household. Only it's dissertation notes and bras, not newspaper clippings and socks. :) Thanks for the lovely comment!

"That's exactly it, Mulder. I am the Skinner of the house, and we are having a staff meeting."

Hee! Great line. Great fic as a whole, actually. I love getting a look at the more ordinary aspects of Mulder and Scully's life together.
