“There’s a trend starting about eight years ago of women of a certain age leading a strong cast. You have it in ‘The Big C,’ ‘Scandal,’ ‘The Good Wife,’ ‘Damages.’ [Roles for women my age are] still lacking in film scripts, which is why many women are turning toward working in TV.” - Gillian Anderson (Backstage magazine)

Flirting 101 with Dana Scully

But you saved me! As difficult and as frustrating as it’s been sometimes, your goddamned strict rationalism and science have saved me a thousand times over! You’ve kept me honest … you’ve made me a whole person. I owe you everything. Scully, and you owe me nothing.

Besides the fact that in this scene *Mulder* and Scully almost kiss, Gillian Anderson’s acting is awesome here and renders Scully’s puzzlement at its best.

X-FILES 4.20 Small Potatoes

It’s probably weird of me, but I have a hard time thinking about first time Mulder/Scully fanfics on tape. I don’t think I’d like to see them on video. Fics to me feel like they live on the page. Not that I would complain AT ALL if a tape from before 2000 showed up with filmed first time fanfics, but I can’t get my head there. I am sorry for not helping with the fantasy. However! Here are a bunch of very good first time Mulder/Scully fics posted before 2000. 12 Tales of Christmas by Anne Haynes This began as a post-“How the Ghosts Stole Christmas” vignette and turned into a series.

Kersh on a seemingly innocuous case in Nebraska, Mulder and Scully reflect on their relationship and its progress.

Mulder, can I ask you a personal question? — Of course not.

Just a little prick
