I: All the other writers came up with serious, soul-searching post-“En Ami” fics. I wrote smut. Go figure. While watching that scene in the restaurant, I really wished Mulder could see Scully in that black dress…
II: Mulder takes Scully dress shopping to replace that little black number he burned in the incinerator in my last fic.
Mulder can show a bit of a jealous and territorial streak, but it rarely extends beyond some quality pouting. At the end of En Ami he took his pouting to a new level as he tried to deal with the hurt, fear and betrayal he felt over Scully's jaunt with Cancerman. I loved Mulder's intensity, and this angst has delivered many a delicious fic. Evielouise capitalised on the smut potential as she brought together a conciliatory Scully and a fuming Mulder for a smouldering first intimate encounter. She then continued with a little more Mulder territory marking in the followup.
