"Maybe she’s making this into a bigger deal than it is. Maybe. Probably."

Thanks/Notes: Thanks to Dennis for the read through. I wanted them arguing over something, but not over

There's a quiet realness in this that I really like. There's no dramatics, no needless angst, it's just a good solid piece of writing about a couple having the most common argument couples have and it's lovely.

And super love for the imagery of this sentence, When she walks to him, it’s like a robot, a dejected robot, all creaky, rusted joints.

I don't know why I so much want to put these two characters through the ringer but. Meh. I just want them to be more REAL to me.

Blah, they're so pretty together, I just...

Heh, that was my favorite bit, actually.

UGH I LOVE HOW YOU WRITE ANGST WITH THEM ITS ALWAYS SO GOOD. Is this meant to be an AU with them moving into her house tho? WHO CARES SHOWERS TOGETHER FOR EVERYONE

(wait no not for everyone only them)

[scullyseviltwin]

Yeah, I just marked it as AU. Whe I was writing it this was fun but man, rereading this I was like... meh, totally not them, I suck, etc. BUT WHEN COURTNEY GETS HERE. PERHAPS WE WILL WATCH A LOT OF PARKS AND I SHALL BE INSPIRED.

Yes we did!!!

YOU ARE ALL SO NICE I CAN'T EVEN DEAL!

[scullyseviltwin]

I want them having fights, like REAL fights... for us to see. Like Ann and Leslie's fight! But that would be too much. For now I'll have to be content with putting them through the ringer myself.

Thank YOU for being so lovely and reading this! I'VE MISSED WRITING THEM AND INTERACTING WITH ALL OF YOUR LOVELIES OUTSIDE OF TUMBLR! AHHHH!
