Artificer going on a villain monologue lol

This is from a pretty old Karmaflower au of mine, where Arti is still very much into killing scavengers. Basically, Arti finds out about Saint’s ascension abilities and immediately recruits (yoinks) Saint to join her cause.

The Safety of Guilt

Summary: Mulder's guilt surrounding Scully's abduction

Rating: Teen TW: depression, suicidal ideation, a gun, gun imagery 732 words

Tagging: @today-in-fic

This is set in season 2, sometime between One Breath and Red Museum :)

She came back. She came back and she’s safe. She came back and she’s safe, so why is he sitting on his couch staring at his fully loaded gun? Why does he still blame himself if she’s safe now? Why does he still feel sorry for himself? Why is he still wracked with the kind of guilt that makes him want to empty his clip into his mouth?

It’s not the same, working with her. When he looks at her, all he can see is her gagged and bound in the back of Duane Barry’s car. When she speaks, all he can hear is her voice shouting for help, for his help. When he’s around her, all he feels is guilt, why couldn’t he save her either? Maybe it will be, someday, but it’s not the same working with her, no, not yet. Does she see it too? Does she hear it? Does she feel it?

He shifts, pulling his legs onto the couch and up against his chest. He rests his chin atop his knees and though the action is childish, it comforts him. He fights with himself, wondering if he even deserves to feel this comfort. She couldn’t have felt comfort while she was crammed in that trunk. She couldn’t have felt comfort while she was missing for months, months that she can’t remember. She couldn’t have felt comfort while imprisoned by her own body in a bed in the ICU. So what right does he have to comfort himself?

Occasionally, he imagines what happened. Where she went, what was done to her. He doesn’t welcome it, but alas, the mind can be a cruel thing. He almost wishes he never looked into abductions, alien or not. He hates that he can think of what happened to her. Ignorance is bliss, isn’t that what they say?

It’s strange to him, now that she’s back. Of course, he’d want it no other way, but working without her was something he had to get used to. He got used to it, but now she’s back, and he can’t seem to be able to worm his way back into the dynamic they had. Working without her, he could sit in their office all day and accomplish practically nothing. That doesn’t fly now that she’s back. 

He doesn’t understand why he still feels so unmotivated. He’ll admit, to himself, that she was his motivation. He didn’t see it like that until they got shut down. They were partners, they worked together. And for fucks sake, their department is up and running again, all agents accounted for, so what the hell is holding him back?

He picks up the gun. He knows he isn’t going to do it. Not tonight. He flicks the safety on, then off, then on, over and over again. The gun is heavy in his hands, heavier than usual. He’s not going to do it. The thought is sickeningly tempting. He thinks back to the Eurisko case, when Jerry died. She’d suggested that he talk to someone, and he’d brushed her off. He wonders what she’d say if she could see him now. He flicks the safety off.

He shoots a quick glance at his phone and thinks about calling her. He doesn’t want to wake her and he definitely doesn’t want to have her worrying about him. She’d want him to call her. He flicks the safety back on. Thinking of calling her, of talking, leads him to realising just how quiet his apartment is. The faint sounds of traffic and the hum of his fish tank are the only distinguishable sounds. He finds himself reaching to pick up the phone.

He pulls back. He’ll see her in the morning. He can’t tell if he wants to call her because of some desperate, subconscious need to preserve his life or if he just misses the sound of her voice. A quick glance at the clock tells him he’d be able to get a somewhat decent amount of sleep if he laid down now. 

He sets the gun down on the coffee table. He’ll continue contemplating whether or not he wants to pull the trigger some other time. The thought is always there, either out in the open, like tonight, or buried deep within his mind. Someday it’ll get better, someday that thought won’t be as common, he thinks. He hopes.

Okay, I was going to explain a possible path for a worm of the string au with Sparrow complaining one day that the puppet can't leave the chamber to relive the fever of being in one place and that her thesis being rejected and then Caper reading the thesis and iterating that idea and then he somehow manages to get off the string.

But getting off the umbilical without reason or explanation is more funny!

Imagine if that starts happening to the others iterators?

Pls tell me his face is priceless! More so if it is a red lizard (do train lizard exist in your au?)

Also, how would Notos and Haboob react to Sparrow?

Now, you mentioned that when Sparrow killed the red centipede she was not in the respawning cycle. What is the age that the Ancients enter the cycle?

staring like a deer caught in headlights GSDLKMCLK this man should either have internal bleeding from a Red Liz bite or bad damage in the coconut and Yet he's 👌 how puzzling n yah! train/hurricane lizards Are real in the Serotonin Take!

as for Notos n Haboob, assuming it's in the off string post-ascension thing too:

they'd like each other! :D

and the respawn cycle is entered once the etheric body is finished growing which is around like.... 20-23 years old
