Oh wow. This was gorgeous. I'm currently on an X-Files kick and this story hits all the right notes. It reads like an actual episode down to the OC's and is charming and intelligent and wonderfully in character.

"Could we get two black and white milkshakes?" Her smile at Mulder's baffled expression is brilliant. "In honor of my world view," she explains when the drinks arrive.

This is so Scully in one of her lighter moments. I always felt that she never wanted to be the one to shoot Mulder's ideas down, but did so out of her own internal integrity. And this story shows that and reflects Mulder's inherent understanding of it.

Just like in his dream, except this is real and she tastes like coffee and Chapstick - bitter, sweet and perfect.

This just killed me. Such a fantastic line and so them. Just lovely!

Thank you! :-)

:: nods :: In a way, she's doing Mulder a favor by being the voice of reason so that Mulder can fly his freak flag freely, if you know what I mean. This story was a reward for both of them (in my own head). Mulder got to see his X-File and Scully got to believe in some wackiness without nagging doubts.

Thanks again for the very kind note.

Peeling off his pants, Mulder steps into the shower and promises himself that one day he'll stop being such a loser, with nothing but dreams to show for a lifetime of wishing.

This line touched my heart for Mulder. Such a brilliant guy, but you wouldn't realize it until you got to know him and gained his trust.

This fic was wonderful - I love how it moved through time with Mulder and Scully together away from work. I also feel that even though Mulder believes in the unbelievable, it mirrors Scully's own belief in the truth of that which is intangible.

Thank you

Thank you. I've grown fonder of Mulder over the years. Brilliant, yet insecure, it's sweet.

I appreciate the feedback, thanks!

this was fantastic.

i loved the story of the thunderbirds, very beautiful. i especially liked how you had Scully actually see them at the end

I also Mulder's shy-loser feelings about Scully, it made me smile at the sweetness of it. thanks so much. it was fantastic. i'm so glad you wrote it!

[dbkate]

Thank you. :-) Thunderbirds are a love of mine, I like the idea of relict populations and cryptozoology. I appreciate you reading and commenting, thank you again.

Oh, this made me smile! How very Mulder and Scully.

"Maybe we should head back to the car," he says. "Dusk is when the bat people come out."

Hee!

[dbkate]

I'm kind of glad there aren't bat people to be honest. ;-) Thank you for the feedback.

This is lovely!

My favorite line by far:
She's Action Scully at last, ready to debunk him, her mind faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall tales in a single bound.

So true! And of course that's how Mulder sees her. Ah, Mulder and Scully. So much love.

[dbkate]

He must picture her as a superheroine, right? Because she is!

Thank you for reading and for the lovely comment. :-)
