whenever Mulder's thoughts turn to his one true love, it starts to sound off.
She intensely dislikes Scully. Hates might be more to the point.
in the bulk of my main comment i said that i felt like mulder was two people. now i'm thinking that perhaps Jeylan's hatred of scully has a lot to do with that divide i feel in his characterizations. on the one hand he's this gorgeously perceptive, caring person who thinks about dead family members and truth and singularity of being. and on the other hand he is (IMO) almost boorish. very selfish, certainly. it's like jeylan is taking out her dislike of scully through mulder without even meaning to. she's written an "it's all for you, mulder" story, even though she clearly tried her damndest to write something tender and romantic.
maybe_amanda, do you know why jeylan bothered to write M/S stories at all, hating scully as it sounds like she did? or is that not appropriate fic-talk? i'm just trying to understand the 'headspace' of the fic.
