Interesting speculation about why Mulder and Scully might become separated. Of course, Mulder would insist on her life over anything (though I'd be surprised if any reoccurance of the cancer would be more treatable this time around). I like that your Scully would rather die with Mulder than risk dying without him.
The used tissues look like crumpled carnations, vibrant. Scully can’t tell if her memories are faded or if, now, she really does bleed brighter.
I love the imagery in the first line; carnations being what flowers I associate with death and with spy films. The brighter blood idea is lovely too, to expose her state of mind.
I was a little confused by this:
He kisses her for longer than anyone has kissed her since she was sixteen - since that first night, when they’d stood in the entryway of her apartment and Mulder had pressed her against the door, fingers hooked through her belt loops, until she was laughing and dragging him through to the bedroom.
Are you implying that Mulder kissed 16 year-old Scully?
Thanks for sharing yoru fic! I found it via eyeinfbi.
