That said, I think you nailed it with the squicky thing--I can't like Mulder like this. There are many many moments were he sounds true to me, but I end up liking Scully, as unsympathetically and un-Scully as she's drawn (and that makes me sad--and makes me think there are tons of stuff going inside her that we're not getting that actually explain her behaviour), because I just can't help thinking he's being asshole-ish and that I don't get at all why he's in love with her. Is it because she's beautiful? He's always sad when describing one of what he says are her typical attitudes...
This fic makes me think that you will always be alone because people cannot understand each-other at all, and only connect but fleetingly. I wonder when it was posted--canon timing wise, and if it fits with their relationship at the time?
