love love love (i want your love)

[meelsie_love78]

So, it's Valentine's Day. I was planning to get all creative and do a picspam of every ship I've ever been into, but... yeah. Not going to happen. Instead, I'll quote Scully. Because there's really no way I can go wrong with that, right?

"Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last -

And you said you could only quote Mulder! Look at you busting out the holiday-appropriate Scully quotage.

And, of course, my brain firstly goes to Alex/Tony reading this because I'm obsessive. And then I think, damn, I want some of this epic friendship-based love that is going around. *starts mentally going through my list of friends*

Happy Valentines Day! (Which it totally no longer is for you but I suppose it half-way counts since it still is here.)

I thought I'd stretch myself and try on some Dana Katherine Scully for size. Surprise surprise - I like it!

my brain firstly goes to Alex/Tony reading this
I KNOW, MINE DOES TOO. It's so perfect. I can picture Alex's dad (who in my mind is this awesomely wize old Dumbledore-like geezer, sort of) saying something along these lines to Tony. CUTE!

I think to be eligible for this epic-friendship-love you have to be completely committed to your job and working in a socially-isolating intensive law enforcement field, and also you must be able to run in extremely high heels in an Alex/Scully fashion.

And Oh. My. Gosh. I just freaked myself out when I typed Alex/Scully. *mind explodes all over keyboard*

Happy (very belated) Valentine's to you too!

I love the idea of Alex's Dad as a wise old Dumbledore-like dude. And I could totally imagine her Mom as super feisty and passionate and maybe, like certain other people, a bit quick to anger. And Dad would be the calming influence in the family with Alex being this nice blend of the two of them. *pats fictional Fielding family on their little heads* I wonder how Tony would take a fatherly speech from Alex's Dad? He'd probably say or do something totally awkward in response but Dad being all wise and Dumbledore-like would see through Tony's oddities and they'd end up getting along quite well. And... I went off on a tangent there

[meelsie_love78]

That's pretty much exactly as I see Alex's parents - her mom as this passionate Italian-ish firebrand - which, as you hinted, is exactly where Alex gets it from - and her dad as the wise, calmer, rational intellectual type - like Tony (and Dumbledore). Which I realise is totally stereotypical but what the hey, it's my random backstory and I'm sticking with it

[mammothluv]

Yes, stick with it! If you can't cling fiercely to your own random backstory, what can you cling to?

Oh, I love Alex's bookish soldier Dad! I can imagine him having never liked the ex and being suspicious of Tony before meeting him but then being quite pleased that Alex has obviously ended up with someone who will love her as much as she deserves. SQUEEEE!!! *is a little ashamed of mushiness but embraces it anyhow*

You know, now that you mention it, there's no one at my work I'd really want a lifelong bond with either. Eight hours a day with these people is really enough for me. But you, you have a CUTE LAWYER NAMED HELEN. Does she give death glares? If so, put on some high heeled boots and start giving that lady sex-eyes!

I'm quite attached to the idea of this X-Files/WitB crossover now. Alex/Scully - I ship it! And...imagine all the trouble Mulder and Tony could get into together whilst the ladies were off snogging (that is if the pervs didn't stand there and watch the whole time.)

[meelsie_love78]

Alex's bookish former soldier dad is AMAZING. I wish he was my dad. But anyway

[mammothluv]

*gasp* You mean my imaginary family has contradicted your imaginary family? *panics for a moment before realizing it's okay because they both adore Tony*
It's all a bit of a mushy cotton candy mess in my head, as I'm sure you can tell!
*happily consumes some of your delightfully mushy cotton candy* I do love the idea of Alex's family noticing the change in her even before they've met Tony. I can see them commenting that she seems happier and asking if it's because of someone she's seeing and her vehemently denying it whilst being unable to hide her goofy 'yes, I'm totally in love' grin.

she's not THAT cute, she's so horribly straight and not nearly snarky enough
How dare she? Doesn't she know you need entertainment and distraction? I really don't think she's putting enough effort in. *gives Helen a disappointed look*

Plus, Tony could offer to carry around Mulder's sunflower seeds in his blue plastic bag.
Somehow this is the cutest image ever and I shall cling to it fiercely.

[meelsie_love78]

Our imaginary Fielding families can happily coexist, I'm sure! The more well-adjusted people hanging around Tony the better, I think.

Can't you just see Alex's dad being all gruffly fond of Tony and bonding with him over books and their fascination with brilliant, surprising, fiery women? And poor Alex being all blushy and embarrassed to find them gossiping together all day long *suffocates under weight of fluff*

Ha, I'll take your advice and given Helen a disappointed look tomorrow when I see her. It just shows how much of a fangirly geek I am, that pretty much 87% of why I'm slightly crushing on her is because her name is Helen. I'm secretly hoping one day I'll go onto her office and she'll somehow have transformed magically into the Helen.

Tony and Mulder would be so adorable together than Alex and Scully wouldn't even be capable of doing their signature exasperated eye rolls and weary sighs...

[mammothluv]

Oh, yes! I can see Alex being embarrassed to find Tony and her Dad gossiping together but also finding quite a few reasons to roll her eyes at them and how geeky they are together. It would be lovely!

I will keep my fingers crossed for your work Helen to one day turn into THE Helen. In the meantime I will continue to give her long distance disappointed looks to match your in person disappointed looks. It's just not right to have a hot/awesome woman's name and not live up to her hot/awesome standards.

[meelsie_love78]

Alex would secretly LOVE it if she stumbled upon Tony and her dad having an evening bonding/gossip session over Scotch in her kitchen!

Well, thank you for your long-distance bitchy glares at my work Helen; I'm sure it will make all the difference! Although I did have a couple of lovely moments of girlish glee today when she told me I was 'utterly brilliant at writing legalese' and that I was her 'favourite harem girl' (I'm one of a number of staff working directly for her.) It's kind of sad and pathetic, as Alex would say, just how much of a ridiculous little thrill I get from these snippets of gorgeousness from her!

[mammothluv]

I suppose I can lay off the bitchy glares for a bit if Helen is going to do lovely things like call you her favorite harem girl. She'd better keep the compliments up though or it's nothing but long distance nasty looks from me again!

(In somewhat related news, the relatively attractive woman who works upstairs from my office wore vaguely whorish black boots today and it made me thing of Alex both because of how high the heels were and the vaguely slutty nature of the whole ensemble. And I do mean vaguely slutty in the nicest way possible. I think Alex would've been proud.)

[meelsie_love78]

I’m sure she’ll appreciate the lack of bitchy glares from you, although now that I think about it, maybe it was feeling the bitchy glares that prompted her to be so sweet to me… maybe you should keep them up, just in case. If you don’t mind, of course.

Isn’t it sad that we have to settle for ‘relatively attractive’ in our workmates and perving options? Why can’t we have ‘supremely beautiful’ colleagues; why is the best we can hope for only ever ‘relatively attractive’? Life is so unfair. Anyway, it’s still very awesome indeed that your equivalent of my office Helen wore Alex-style whore-boots! What a lovely treat for you. Unfortunately, as it’s summer here, there aren’t any whore-boots anywhere to be seen. I can’t wait for winter.
