"Nothing, nothing, nothing" indeed. It just occurred to me that this touches the nihilism at the heart of the show.
I love this. I hadn't really thought of it that way, and I doubt that MS meant it that way, but all the same, it's fitting. Except I don't think it has to be touching on the nihilism at the heart of the show, so much as the temporary nihilism at the hearts of Mulder and Scully on this one night.
And the great ship split in half and sank into the North Atlantic
That line was supposed to be meta, right? if so, then it bugs me more than it amuses me. I've never been a fan of the meta fan-wink. I guess I'm just too serious to like having that fourth wall broken.
the humor and the serious shipsex ("The great ship") sometimes argue.
Yeah, this is tough for me to get over. The only reason it doesn't completely turn me off is because the characters are drunk. Drunk brains are swampwater brains - mechanical mixtures of thought become solutions. I find it kind of a turn off in this fic, unlike in many drunkfics, but it's believably written, and their circumstances exempt them from pretty much all upholding of decorum.
