it occurred to me that you guys probably assumed that the Director Scully ficlet i wrote a while back was set like post-revival BUT IT’S NOT!!! 😄😄😄 i would never do that to my lovelies. it’s an AU. of course it is! i know you guys probably don’t care BUT: if you’ve ever seen my screenshots of the Scully-Mulder family in TS4, it’s sort of like that. they’ve got the five kids—Emily, William, Melissa, Samuel, and Margaret—and somewhere along the way Mulder became a stay-at-home dad before going into professorhood.
#i guess in this au they passed on the x-files to doggett and reyes???#makes sense bc they’d have emily and reevaluate stuff#scully’d be like i can’t put my life on the line like that anymore. not with a dependent.#but that also allows them more freedom so yeah!#and then there’s wim and they’re like okey dokey. let’s reevaluate some more#and then they have melly and they’re like ok let’s REALLY reevaluate#and they get a house with enough bedrooms for them all PLUS a spare in case someone has to stay with them for whatever reason#but then they’re like. do we want another kid? ehh idk i wouldn’t be opposed#they end up with sam#and they’re like well we didn’t have guests anyways lol#but then mags is a complete accident#they were like oh. the science didn’t point to THAT happening#but they’re like oh what the hell five kids is a good number#but they need more space so they move out of the burbs into like. unremarkable house 2.0#i figure around the time sam was born mulder became a stay-at-home dad#bc the hours they were working just didn’t work with having four kids with different schedules and needs#so mulder’s like the x-files are in good hands#at some point along the way scully’s offered a position back at hoover#and right around when she’s up for the a.d. promotion they get pregnant with mags#and she’s a little nervous that they’re gonna use that against her but they don’t#txf#rambling
