FIC: Gimme Shelter

Thanks to the fabulous xf_is_love, I've been having some thinky thoughts of X-Files plots. But then the next question is...Er, did I already write that story? I'm rather notoriously vague and tend to plagiarize myself from said vagueness (Or Aussie, but she kindly doesn't mind) so I thought that I better read some of my old XF fics to make sure I wasn't trying to rewrite a story. *head, desk*

And ran across this fic. Rather ironic that among all the dark, angsty, artsy fics, this one is the most making me fondly remember those XF writing days. A post-ep for an utterly forgettable, fairly awful episode, I think it's one of my best Mulder characterization efforts. A certain type of Mulder, I admit, but a lot more fun than the self-destructive, blindly-driven version.

And written 13 years ago!! O.M.FREAKIN'GAWDS!

“What do you do for sex?”

Roslin didn’t even look up from her desk as she asked the question. It followed a long string of much more mundane queries, ranging from the fleet’s daily soap use to just how heat shield manifolds worked. Adama’s attention had wandered, his replies automatic, his glasses slack in his fingertips. He was awake now.
