Summary
Scully had spent months playing and replaying this scenario in her head. Nights when her fingers brushed against her throbbing skin as she whispered his name in the dark, finally falling out of her self-induced passion to bury her head in her pillow. Then she wallowed in the fear that dissuaded her from ever stepping into the frightening void of unmarked territories – here be dragons, she would think, her breath stilling in her throat.
But this wasn’t a siren song meant to consume her within a cold and unyielding tempest. This was the voice of love, and it was calling her home.

Scully pressed her cold lips together and licked the salty spray from them pensively. “I don’t know if it’s disillusion so much as fear, Mulder. The world is a big place and so much of lingers outside of our understanding. Maybe denoting the unknown to something dangerous, something we should fear, can help us accept that there are just some truths that will never be known to us.”
“Or it just holds us back from seeking out those truths at all.”
