Periodic Challenge 22 to 30 - Dana Scully/Olivia Dunham (X-files/Fringe)
Prompts: Titanium to Zinc (22 to 30)
Fandom: X-files/Fringe
Pairing: Dana Scully/Olivia Dunham
Rating: It's arc-y so G to NC-17...
Summary: Dana Scully and Olivia Dunham have an intense history neither wants to revisit, but when Broyles calls Scully in for help with the newest Pattern case both agents have to bury the hatchet. Yet that proves to have its own side effect...
Since it is arc-y here is: 1 to 21
I'm posting 19 to 21 as well only because 22 makes no sense without the previous scene... Apologies for the stupid break point last time (although it was a good break point tension wise)

Scully's father had always said, 'before you go bananas, eat a banana.' It wasn't one of his most profound sayings but Scully found herself in the hotel finishing a banana when there was a knock on the door. She quickly swallowed her last bite and threw away the peel, knowing before she looked that it was Olivia. She opened the door to find her awkwardly holding a bottle of wine.
"I know you too well to ignore when you are being strange," Olivia said waking past Scully into the room, "that was not the way I wanted to start this." She added more to herself, opening the wine and pouring some for both of them.
"Olivia," Scully said in the tone she hadn't used since school.
Olivia froze, a nervous shock running through her.
"I haven't seen you in years, and at that point we were barely speaking. I for one have changed and I'm sure you have too..." Scully said, Olivia watching the green of Scully's eyes as if caught in headlights, "So don't presume to tell me that you know me any longer." Scully finished, blinking and seating herself on the bed.
Olivia followed Scully with her eyes, the soft glow of the lights making her hair glow. Olivia remained rooted to the spot, unable to go closer or father away - as if both were dangerous.
A seemingly random thought invaded Olivia’s mind. Magnets. Attracted one way, repelling with a slight shift. A happy medium impossible to maintain...

Scully looked up, wishing her eyes to stay angry, hoping Olivia wouldn't read the venerability she was trying desperately to mask.
"Well then what is it?" Olivia asked softly, taking the two glasses and giving one to Scully, sitting beside her on the bed.
Scully looked up into Olivia's open pleading eyes and took a sip of the wine, never disconnecting her gaze.
Olivia watched Scully, taking in the details - the way her reddened lips were accented by her deep auburn hair, golden flecked in this light - she looked beautiful but she radiated fear, her breath catching as if she was having trouble controlling her breathing.
"What are you afraid of?" she asked without thinking, absorbed in the green of Scully's eyes.
Scully inwardly balked at the question, but of course she was scared, desperately scared that if she said anything or had to ad lib any movement other than drinking, she would lean toward the blonde, whose eyes were full of question and worry, and kiss the soft lips that taunted her with her own weakness. In every scenario her head had conjured that never ended well. But the mind plays tricks, uses fears. Those lips were still there and Olivia was leaning forward....
Scully put down her glass as she felt Olivia's hand on her own, the drinking repetition broken she was impelled forward, eyes locked until the last possible moment.

The kiss exploded behind her eyes in light. Scully relished the feel of Olivia's soft skin, joyfully succumbing to her own weakness. Olivia's hand was on her neck, pulling her closer as a tentative tongue slid inside her mouth, filling her with an unexpected warmth that sent a shock between her thighs. She dropped the hand that was in Olivia's hair and broke the kiss, hesitant to look up but oddly comforted by Olivia's disconcertedness.
---
Olivia saw Scully moving closer, felt a hand grasp hers, but somehow never expected the press of lips against her own. She certainly didn't expect the savage desire this awoke in her, as if Scully was the sun filling her with warmth and a light that tingled in every extremity. She drank in, pulling Scully closer as if to lose her would be to lose all heat in her body. But Scully pulled away and Olivia found herself staring at the swollen lips and hopeful eyes of her former teacher, breathing as if she had just run for miles.

Scully pursed her lips together but remained wordless.
"Oh," Olivia said to break the tension, very conscious of her hands, tingling but cold with Scully's absence. "So you.."
Scully nodded.
"Even when Danny?" Scully nodded again, the guilt stinging her eyes, tears welling behind.
"That's why..." Olivia broke off the verbalized thought as Scully's eyes grew wet with tears.
"God Dana I'm sorry," she said, instinctively pulling the redhead toward her. She could feel her pulse running hot where it touched Scully’s skin and she felt almost as if she was taking advantage of her, enjoying the pressing of their bodies.
In Olivia’s arms Scully wept for her guilt and her fear until she was left with only the awkward comfort of Olivia's arms. She looked up, more nervous of the tears than the kiss but found only awe and compassion in Olivia’s hazel eyes.
"I used to think you weren't entirely human," Olivia said softly, "Now I admire you even more," she added, unsure if admire would offend when she felt so much more she didn't yet understand.
Neither woman spoke for a few moments, content in the unmentioned proximity, until Olivia broke the silence, "We should get some sleep.”
Scully nodded as Olivia got off the bed.
"See you in the morning," Olivia said, holding the door ajar.
"Thank you," Scully said.
"You're welcome," Olivia replied, leaving all else unsaid.
The door closed and Olivia exhaled. How different she felt, was, from the her hours before.
Salt crystals.

"Barney Miller," Scully announced upon entering the lab the next morning.
"Our one armed man?" Peter inquired.
"Frederick Jones's mentor who had a very promising career until he fell off the map on 2006." Scully explained.
"Which is when it looks like Jones started his research," Olivia filled in, "idea theft?"
Scully nodded, "he is now in working on a similar terraforming technique for the Russians."
"Nice job," Olivia said softer than usual, smiling slightly.
"Sometimes it helps when you try a new perspective," Scully answered, meeting Olivia's eyes with a gaze that radiated electricity.
Olivia drank in the attraction and grateful admiration, feeling it juice her adrenaline with a narrowminded focus. She flashed back to Scully's lips the previous night and for a moment wished they were alone again.
Peter looked at the two beautiful women, red and blonde, and cocked his eyebrow glancing over at Astrid who looked downtrodden.
Olivia broke the gaze, taking a deep breath to clear her head and, taking a few steps, was face to face with Peter.
He again raised his eyebrow. "Everything okay with you two?"
"umhum" Olivia hummed through closed lips, her eyes wide and smiling, “We talked again, it went well.”
Peter narrowed his eyes but before he could respond Scully’s phone rang.
“Logan airport, he’s trying to board a plane to Krakow,” Scully said hanging up, “how fast can we get there?”
“How fast will you let me drive?” Peter replied as the three raced out of the lab.

The wine sparkled the colors of muted Christmas lights.
They made it to the airport, catching Miller in the lounge, coughing little white spores. The other passengers had been evacuated to the hospital but sustained only a moderate allergic reaction to the altered pollen. Miller himself had been brought back to the lab, Walter and Scully finding a non-DNA specific form of the terraforming plant carried in his bloodstream and lungs. It had severely weakened him and he died on the way to the lab, avenged but unhappy and unable to tell them anymore about any others who knew about either project.
"Was the X-Files like this?" Olivia asked sipping her wine and leaning back into the couch, trying to inconspicuously stay out of Scully's personal space, still unsure how to proceed.
"Less tech and more blood but similar," Scully replied, kitty-cornered in the chair, facing Olivia.
They exchanged glances, both too focused on the other to think or speak about work, neither sure of what exactly to say to get them on the subject they both desired but also feared to speak. The silence lengthened and became more awkward as both women made a show of drinking their wine.

"I should clean up the dinner dishes," Olivia said to break the silence. She put down her glass and got up, beelining to the kitchen.
Scully swallowed the sip in her mouth, put down her glass and followed her. "At least let me help," she said upon entering the kitchen, grabbing their plates from the table and loading them into the dishwasher.
Olivia wordlessly assented, busying herself with the countertops. She could feel the distance of Scully's body like a pull as she moved about Olivia's kitchen. She softly inhaled as Scully again came close, unwittingly holding her breath until her departure, but Scully stayed beside Olivia rinsing her hands in the sink before reaching for the dry towel as Olivia was pretending to need it.
Fingertips against the back of a hand made their forcibly ignored nagging background thoughts into alarm bells. Scully took the towel away and held Olivia's hands loosely in her own. Olivia tentatively looked into Scully’s eyes, bringing their joined hands to either side of them and stepping forward. Scully could feel Olivia, from their interlocked fingers to the press of their lower arms, the pull of her body and the light warmth of her breath. The disbelief that flooded her mind was overwhelmed by the lust but she couldn’t make the first move today, Olivia had to be sure.
Olivia stepped forward again, trying to focus on Scully’s eyes but her gaze kept falling to her lips, lightly reddened, moist and parted in longing.
Prompt: Iron (FE) (26)

Scully's eyes fell closed as Olivia's lips touched her own. The soft touch fell to her centre as a heaviness that rooted her to the spot while sending exploding shocks to her extremities. She felt fingers on her back, pulling her closer and across the room as electricity traveled up her spine, fueling her desire to feel/meet/merge. She parted her mouth to meet Olivia's tentative tongue, allowing it to explore, filling her mouth with warmth, before meeting it with her own, fight/release/retreat as Scully's hands searched for flesh of their own. The buttons were a nuisance but her practiced fingers soon found how to undo them backwards and, shirt discarded, her fingertips grazed over Olivia's taught stomach. Olivia took a breath in, recoiling, "Cold," she murmured through swollen lips, stripping off Scully’s shirt before taking her hands and pressing them flat to her stomach to warm them. Olivia’s head arched back as Scully’s hands wandered and she nuzzled into Olivia’s neck, kissing a line from her collarbone to her jawline, finally claiming her lips again as Olivia pulled her even closer, deepening the kiss until both were left ragged for breath. Olivia’s hands left Scully’s back momentarily to undo her own bra. Scully’s hands wandered upward to feel the soft flesh of Olivia’s breasts while her head wandered down, impulsively sucking on a nipple until it was taught. Olivia exhaled loudly. Scully looked at her and cocked an eyebrow, “Should we move upstairs?” “No, I want you now,” Olivia replied….

...pulling Scully towards her and closing her eyes as their lips met. She was swimming in a world of darkness augmented by the light behind her eyelids so that her passion felt like the color blue. Deep and intense. She could feel Scully's fingers wandering lower, undoing the button to her pants (they fell to the ground) and edging the elastic of her panties before returning to the cleft in her hip, between her breasts, teasing up and down the length of her as if absorbing every crevice. She pushed up against her again, leg between leg, her own pants gone and Olivia moaned as Scully rubbed her leg upward, maddening the desire that was already throbbing. She grabbed at the wall, trying to find some hand hold but there wasn’t one. “Are you sure?” Scully’s whisper was half question half taunt and Olivia could only nod behind her blue curtain, absorbing every touch with the intensity of the blind. Scully’s fingers wandered down again and Olivia’s breath caught as she felt them slide below her panties and brush against… “Oh God,” Olivia cried out and Scully pushed down her panties with her other hand, sliding two fingers into her. She felt Scully’s head against her stomach as the fingers slid deeper, pulsing in and out slowly while Scully’s thumb was teasing her clit. Olivia rocked into her fingers, forcing them faster and faster until the blue world exploded in orange and red. She opened her eyes to Scully smiling.

Scully watched as Olivia's breathing returning to normal. She looked wildly disheveled, eyes burning with a passion that made her even more alluring, and Scully could feel desire coursing to her extremities. She kissed her hard, trying to absorb her through her skin as Olivia flipped them, kicking their pants away, and held Scully against the wall. Scully could feel Olivia's hands traveling up her back, leaving a little electric trail with every movement. Her bra came unclasped and she allowed Olivia to take it off, enjoying the feel of warm skin against warm skin. Olivia began lovingly teasing every part of her, her nipples, wrists, the insides of her elbows, but Scully was far past the point of needing to be aroused. "Please," she whispered. Olivia looked slightly disappointed for a moment but then smiled almost wickedly, falling to her knees and teasing Scully's stomach with her tongue while her hands slowly teased off Scully's panties. Scully stepped out of them hurriedly, intoxicated by her venerability, and could do nothing but thrust in partial relief as Olivia slid two fingers inside her. Olivia’s thrusts remained achingly slow inside her despite Scully’s attempts to speed her, but she built them faster and faster until Scully was sure her legs would collapse at the moment of coming. Olivia’s tongue found Scully’s trigger and she licked until she heard groans and muffled cries above her. Scully’s thoughts turned to jelly but her legs stayed true as she came, thrashing, to Olivia’s beats.

Scully's hair looked copper in the last glimmer of sunlight and Olivia couldn't take her eyes off the light playing in Scully's hair.
"Olivia?" Scully asked softly, lightly stroking Olivia's back from her shoulder blades to the small of her back.
"Um?" Olivia murmured, looking absently at Scully before smiling broadly.
"Good," Scully replied, smiling herself, "Can we get some clothes back on, I'm cold."
Olivia nodded and stepped away from Scully, still able to feel the electrical current that radiated between the two as the distance diminished and then snapped it, leaving the circuit running hot through her own body.

Olivia insisted she stay the night. Scully would have said no, in any other circumstance that would be her immediate and uncompromising response. But she could not imagine leaving, did not want this feeling of ALIVE, of connection, to diminish and so she allowed Olivia, their fingers interlaced, to lead her to the bedroom.
Warmed by the covers Olivia's fingers were happily running over Scully's exposed arm and Scully, head propped up on her arm, was watching Olivia’s innocent eyes smiling. Olivia smiled when she saw the determination in Scully’s focus.
“What is it?” She asked, moving her eyes from Scully’s gaze back to the tracings she was performing on Scully’s naked arm.
Scully looked pained for a moment and sighed deeply, shifting herself on her back. Olivia idled her now misplaced hands and propped herself up to watch her partner.
Scully took a long time finding her words.
“I just don’t know how something I am so sure of can make me feel so unstable,” she finally relented, looking at Olivia.
“I know what you mean,” she replied simply but honestly, “But instability is essential to life.” She slid her hand under the sheet and grazed it along Scully’s stomach upwards across a still hard nipple. Scully took a sharp breath in and Olivia shuffled closer smiling playfully. “Without it, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy feeling…” Olivia continued, but Scully was finding it hard to pay attention to anything but Olivia’s lips as Olivia’s hand awakened her again…

...pulling Scully towards her and closing her eyes as their lips met. She was swimming in a world of darkness augmented by the light behind her eyelids so that her passion felt like the color blue. Deep and intense. She could feel Scully's fingers wandering lower, undoing the button to her pants (they fell to the ground) and edging the elastic of her panties before returning to the cleft in her hip, between her breasts, teasing up and down the length of her as if absorbing every crevice. She pushed up against her again, leg between leg, her own pants gone and Olivia moaned as Scully rubbed her leg upward, maddening the desire that was already throbbing. She grabbed at the wall, trying to find some hand hold but there wasn’t one. “Are you sure?” Scully’s whisper was half question half taunt and Olivia could only nod behind her blue curtain, absorbing every touch with the intensity of the blind. Scully’s fingers wandered down again and Olivia’s breath caught as she felt them slide below her panties and brush against… “Oh God,” Olivia cried out and Scully pushed down her panties with her other hand, sliding two fingers into her. She felt Scully’s head against her stomach as the fingers slid deeper, pulsing in and out slowly while Scully’s thumb was teasing her clit. Olivia rocked into her fingers, forcing them faster and faster until the blue world exploded in orange and red. She opened her eyes to Scully smiling.

Scully watched as Olivia's breathing returning to normal. She looked wildly disheveled, eyes burning with a passion that made her even more alluring, and Scully could feel desire coursing to her extremities. She kissed her hard, trying to absorb her through her skin as Olivia flipped them, kicking their pants away, and held Scully against the wall. Scully could feel Olivia's hands traveling up her back, leaving a little electric trail with every movement. Her bra came unclasped and she allowed Olivia to take it off, enjoying the feel of warm skin against warm skin. Olivia began lovingly teasing every part of her, her nipples, wrists, the insides of her elbows, but Scully was far past the point of needing to be aroused. "Please," she whispered. Olivia looked slightly disappointed for a moment but then smiled almost wickedly, falling to her knees and teasing Scully's stomach with her tongue while her hands slowly teased off Scully's panties. Scully stepped out of them hurriedly, intoxicated by her venerability, and could do nothing but thrust in partial relief as Olivia slid two fingers inside her. Olivia’s thrusts remained achingly slow inside her despite Scully’s attempts to speed her, but she built them faster and faster until Scully was sure her legs would collapse at the moment of coming. Olivia’s tongue found Scully’s trigger and she licked until she heard groans and muffled cries above her. Scully’s thoughts turned to jelly but her legs stayed true as she came, thrashing, to Olivia’s beats.

Rating: R

A/N:"very high thermal and electrical conductivity. Copper is rather supple in its pure state." (Wiki)
Scully's hair looked copper in the last glimmer of sunlight and Olivia couldn't take her eyes off the light playing in Scully's hair.
"Olivia?" Scully asked softly, lightly stroking Olivia's back from her shoulder blades to the small of her back.
"Um?" Olivia murmured, looking absently at Scully before smiling broadly.
"Good," Scully replied, smiling herself, "Can we get some clothes back on, I'm cold."
Olivia nodded and stepped away from Scully, still able to feel the electrical current that radiated between the two as the distance diminished and then snapped it, leaving the circuit running hot through her own body.

A/N: "Zinc is an essential mineral, necessary for sustaining all life." (Wiki)
Olivia insisted she stay the night. Scully would have said no, in any other circumstance that would be her immediate and uncompromising response. But she could not imagine leaving, did not want this feeling of ALIVE, of connection, to diminish and so she allowed Olivia, their fingers interlaced, to lead her to the bedroom.
Warmed by the covers Olivia's fingers were happily running over Scully's exposed arm and Scully, head propped up on her arm, was watching Olivia’s innocent eyes smiling. Olivia smiled when she saw the determination in Scully’s focus.
“What is it?” She asked, moving her eyes from Scully’s gaze back to the tracings she was performing on Scully’s naked arm.
Scully looked pained for a moment and sighed deeply, shifting herself on her back. Olivia idled her now misplaced hands and propped herself up to watch her partner.
Scully took a long time finding her words.
“I just don’t know how something I am so sure of can make me feel so unstable,” she finally relented, looking at Olivia.
“I know what you mean,” she replied simply but honestly, “But instability is essential to life.” She slid her hand under the sheet and grazed it along Scully’s stomach upwards across a still hard nipple. Scully took a sharp breath in and Olivia shuffled closer smiling playfully. “Without it, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy feeling…” Olivia continued, but Scully was finding it hard to pay attention to anything but Olivia’s lips as Olivia’s hand awakened her again…
