I think she's got plenty of reasons to feel cranky, and bitchy isn't much of a stretch either.

Yeah, but this fic doesn't sell me on that the way Iolokus does.

The only line spoken aloud that I could find skimming through this that one could conceivably say was bitchy is this: ""Now." She orders in a tone that makes my legs start to tremble, "Don't screw around - fuck me."

I don't think ATCAI Scully is particularly bitchy. And I definitely don't have a problem with her saying "fuck me". I'm not wild about the "don't screw around" part, I think in combination with "fuck me" it's overly gruff, but that's not really the point either. It's her whole inner voice that doesn't sound the least bit like Scully to me. As [livejournal.com profile] hazel75 said, she sounds more like Skinner than herself. She's got this inward macho swagger thing going on.
