Under A Juniper Tree

[aloysiavirgata]

SUMMARY: amyhit suggested "Five Times Scully Scares Mulder." I started writing the fic, but this was the only segment of it that came out how I wanted. It's a touch longer than a drabble. Both the title of the story and the mantra of Scully's roommate come from T.S. Eliot's Ash Wednesday. Thanks  to scarletbaldy for looking this over on vacation.

This is sad and beautiful, with just the right measure of detail.

"When we get back to DC," she says slowly, "none of this ever happened."

Ouch. And yet, apparently CC's personal version at least...

Yes. Apparently so. Scully is the Queen of Compartmentalization, and thus are fanfic writers forced to deal with this kind of bullshit. Sigh...

And thanks. I'm so glad you liked it.

Love it!!!

Thank you so much! By the by, the bulk of my fic is here, but everything can be found at this site.

Ohhhhhh, Scully.

So much angst. Beautiful.

[aloysiavirgata]

Aw, thanks! Glad you liked it.

Ohhhh, Scully. I think that is the only way she could have remained even halfway sane through all the terrible things she was forced to deal with.

This is beautiful.

[aloysiavirgata]

I agree. I really think she just turns parts of herself off to keep from going crazy.

And thanks.

This is perfect.

But it left me wanting more! ;)

Thank you so much! I'm hoping I'll be able to write something longer soon. Writer's block is so immensely frustrating.
