****************************************
so this one started as a request by a few people who wanted something a bit- shall we say- steamier- and I'm more than happy to go there- I don't read all that fic for nothing afterall-
I was going to wait on putting this out, but I guess trust no one- esp me when it comes to vidding. I've just been vidding a lot lately because of the 12/22/12 thing making me particularly nostalgic to spend time with my dvds.
**xtra curricular scenes were taken mainly from some other DD/GA movies that by now we probably all know well.
- sooooo, I will explain kind of where I was going with this, but of course there are a couple different ways one could interpret as well besides mine and I don't want to stop people from doing that...don't read further if you'd like it to just speak for itself.
I notice that throughout the series, M/S would at times use other people to serve as kind of surrogates for each other- because they wouldn't/couldn't be open w their feelings and maybe they didn't even fully realize they were doing this. Right before FTF movie, was 'the end' where we got the pleasure of meeting the Fowl one for the first time- this threat directly led to Scully telling Mulder he didn't need her in the FTF movie and what he told her in the hallway served to reassure her and keep her invested. But then came the season 6 opener 'the beginning' and Mulder basically undermines what he told Scully in FTF, and you can see the absolutely crushed look on her face...for Scully, after all she has sacrificed in the name of Mulder's quest and her unacknowledged feelings for him- this rejection is cataclysmic and eventually she even tells him that she can no longer help him. This was the first time in the series where I could actually sense that this rift could be irreparable between them (when Scully asks Mulder to trust her and he refuses to take that file- ooooh, *cringes*) Mulder for his part, I think honestly had some feelings for Diana (always thought they'd been married personally), and was torn over the state of his relationship with Scully...
I wanted to show Scully's slow process of realization and how the Fowley threat kind of slaps her to awareness with respect to her feelings for Mulder. I wanted to suggest that she was living the relationship in her mind so to speak- fantasizing basically- and I don't think its a stretch to think that she did this- that is why I went with these lyrics- she is free in her mind to express her feelings but her body is caged- ...but also wanted to suggest there are thoughts running through more than just her head.
its easy to gloss over that not everything worked all the time between them and sometimes they were practically incomprehensible to each other and very dysfunctional...this never diminished anything to me though- instead it grounded it. In real relationship, loving someone is both an instinct and a decision and with the decision, u agree to gloss over their shortcomings and your own to make it work-- So, that is why I like to vid the rifts, the tensions, the moments when they stood next to each other yet light years apart...it's part of it to me.
aside: on that very quick scene where Scully is looking at the t.v. is a man (Svengali) hypnotizing a woman with his eyes, and the way Scully stares at the t.v. so intensely I thought was perfect here- like how she might feel- but it flashes by rather too quickly.
and now-- I think I'm vidded out for a while!!
enjoy and remember just how much we all wanted to shank Fowley prison style!

I love the way how you captured Mulder's and Scully's relationship. The X Files wouldn't be the same without them. When Doggett replaced Mulder it wasn't the real X Files. For me Mulder and Scully are the main reason why I love TXF so much. I can watch your video a million times and I will never get bored:)
That movie is terrifying and awesome at the same time. She was fabulous in it!! Maybe not my favourite movie of hers but one of my favourite characters, she played that role so incredibly well!! While she looks like Scully Alice was so different to Scully. Although a strong confident, independent, woman. ALice was more raw. When people use straightheads in vids and it's so obvious it distracts me because of my love of the differences in these characters but like I said you did this so well
Great video, this shows the complex relationship they had. He was trying to protect her from being hurt. Ironically they hurt each other many timeframes. Unspoken love mixed with fear of the future. I always loved their dance with emotion.
I m sitting here infront of my mobile and crying ..... What an honest and emotional inside look. Love the sensual mood and this kinda depressing theme. thank you so much !!!!
hi my dear, thanks! I think Scully was much for the one who lived in her body and embraced creature comforts (she loved her baths, silk pj's, sleeping, etc) and Mulder was more the one who lived in his mind and cut off creature comforts, so I think Scully would've found this a purtee torturous situation, ahem!! Mulder is a delicious biscuit! and you're right, there is hardly anything to work with in this vein with the x-files, makes it a challenge-- XD I like a challenge
Yeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss!!!!!!!! I think you already know how much I love this kind of vids. Mulder & Scully = SEXUAL TENSION! How could someone find this offensive?! This is pure art!!! Carter spread this tension through 9 years and you simply summarized it in a few minutes! They never went so far in the show, true, but let's not confine our imagination to fanfics! :D AMAZING JOB!
Scu-llllaaaaayyyy! we all know that in any universe- real or fictional, Diana Fowley is no competition for Scully, come on now ;D

I really hate Diana😤make me sick,Scully is the only one of mulder
thankyou- really happy u like it- I had to pour some angst on top of the steamy cuz thats just me...! ;D making a vid like this is like reading some juicy fanfic- all imaginings of things we never saw- lol!
well I am quite the fanfic addict myself and somewhat an amatuer at writing the stuff.. but still these characters are so fun to play with!
aww, thanks- I appreciate u taking the time to comment, that alone tells me something! =)
I guess you're right, we are all our own hardest critics. ;) I ended up rewatching this video just now because I just had to take a look at it again. You are such a master of using texture and these kinds of flickering light layers that are never distracting and clearly aren't put there just randomly, but they always set the mood and carry it through the video. I don't know how you can have such an effortless way to move from one clip to another, making the clips fit together seamlessly!
This is so beautiful. The way you layer those black and white images with the coloured ones looks so classy somehow, I just can't get enough of it. This is another great song (you always pick such great songs!) - I'm being an ignoramus and have to ask, who sings it? I can only agree with everything that other people already commented here. You make this series look so beautiful. Oh and this random, but Gillian just looks so alike Jodie Foster to me at 1:47 that I got startled again. :O
WOW! I have no words to describe how awesome I think this video is. Just WOW!
Um...that was amazing. Thank you for posting this! The Mulder/Scully relationship is still by far my favorite thing to obsess about ♥
Beautiful!!! I don't know how you manage to make something so hiot and sleek at the same time... LOVE IT! Btw, I like Eyeseeyou idea... Very interesting;)
well, let me take this opportunity to express my undying love and appreciation to you!! Srsly, if I told you how much fanfic I've read and how much I love it, you probably wldn't believe me- lol! You guys have this power to expand the unanswered, fix the threads that were left dangling and mine the emotions that we didn't get to see explored-- LOVE IT, and I think the XF fic writers are the most talented and skillful group out there- thanks for many hours of happiness!!
thankyou so much
Normally when someone mash's images from other movies or tv programmes in there I can pick exactly where they are from which makes it feel more fake and destroys the illusion. Especially when images from straightheads is used. But I can't pick where some of the non xf stuff is from and I recognises some images from straightheads but not obviously! Well done, very impressive. Your music choice as always... gah fabulous.
thankyou hon! I am very glad you like it, I hope you are well and I'll try to get something new out soon =D
Beautiful--absolutely gorgeous imagery. I love it love it love it. This will be one I'll have to replay over and over.
aw, thats great to hear! I know it can be distracting when outside source is brought in, but i try these days to pick and choose sparingly and manipulate the images so its less noticeable- thankyou for a great compliment!!
Its sad that I know what movies the other scenes are from, isn't? Well I swear that I recognized snippets from 'Straightheads' (Closure) - whatever they're calling it now. Fantastic video, I don't think you could actually do something that was disappointing. :) Also, I have to praise you on yout music choices, I love them. Some of the music you have used in videos have been my favorite songs ... and others I have gone out and bought, making them my favorite. :) Happy New Year.
wauw this is just perfection..

The music is always perfect for your vids. I always end up downloading them. You are really good at this!
I was watching Lucifer and this song came on, I instantly thought I needed to go watch this vid again. So glad your old stuff is still up, I'm going to have to go binge watch all of them again 😆

Thankyou, it makes me really happy people are still enjoying these 🥰
This is beautiful work. I love the way this pulls on my angst for Mulder and Scully.
awww- its not all that bad really- I don't show anything graphic, but I did want to warn people just in case cuz some people are sensitive to that subject matter! I a really happy u decided to watch anyway and liked it! The Fowley thing always had my heart in a cinch, as you said- the eternal love triangle! hope you are great sweetie
An amazing tribute to Mulder & Scully! You really captured the essence of their bond during the series and films while conveying the push and pull tension between them. Thank you for making an amazing tribute, especially just in time for viewing on the date Mulder saw in the series finale 12/22/12.
So perfect for this day... :c
I could talk about this forever but Alice had these complicated relationships, the movie had limited dialogue so the complex nature of her relationships was purely GA magic. The weird relationship between her and her boss, her father, the daughter of the man who attacked her, her attacker and of course with the man much younger than her that she has this nurturing/weird sexual relationship with. . Lady dedlock- fab my favourite of all time Miss Havisham = brilliant. Next to Scully of course ;)
thankyou, love that line of tension they walked- its so enormously interesting!
thanks girl!- mmm, interesting idea. with a little imagination, it is not hard to amp XF into any number of different directions which is why is superb vidding source!
Damn i can't stop re-whatching this!!! It's so freaking amazing the song is best and the scene choises are the best and the effects are perfect, i can't see anything wrong! this vid really got me SO THANKS A BILLION!
thankyou very much- love the angst of M-S too ;)
oh no, thats not sad- I think most of us are such fans of the actors as well that we've seen most all they've done. Thankyou so much for such a great compliment- it really does effect me because I'm always finding ways to pull apart my own stuff- u guys make me feel like its maybe not all that bad afterall!
Beautiful sensual and perfect as always. I just had a sick thought...what might be sick but interesting at the same time...combining this sensuality with all the brutality and blood they get covered in. Maybe its just the fact that we survived the apocalypse im getting all necro i dunno haha
I really liked this video. I wish I knew English better to fully express my admiration. Thank you!
You are so freakin wonderful to me, thankyou! Your vids are totally awesome and you are much to critical of yourself- it always looks a different way to the vidder whose sat there and started at a computer for hour after hour- no longer have any perspective- I do it too!
I love it! It is so powerful! ♥ Thank for this wonderful work! :)
I was just going to leave a message on your board and say "Where have you been lady?!" But then I saw that I missed this video, somehow. Perfect, again. And I echo the comment about music. You've turned me on to so many new bands/musicians. And, as always, your videos give me the x-feels. So perfect in every way. I also love how you interject the most PERFECT quotes.
thankyou my dear! hope you had a great Christmas!!
Perfect. Very touching
Art! U did it again! U know I'm your fan! :)
X) *grins* don't you think Scully being the closet sensualist she is (the hot baths, silk pj's, love of sleep...) that this would've carried over to her imaginative life ? heh-heh!
Raj, I missed you! and I gotta say again how much I LOVED your last fic- its just wonderful and amazing story!! thankyou so much, you really make me feel good about my vids XD, peace and joy in the new year!!
Amazing editing. Brilliant job.
Francy, thankyou and I love you!! I think you are the absolute master of the** hot** vid, and I LOVE them so much too, so it means a ton coming from you- I agree with you- fanfic is amazing but there are ways to vid it too ;)
Great idea to make a MSR video with the song "Sweet Nothing" from Florence and the Machine!!! Interesting choice!. Btw, I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!
awww, that is incredibly kind and thanks very much L, hope u are doing great!!
agreed- you want to crawl into their world and start analyzing, lol!
aw, thanks so much! I wanted it to be hot but not *too* much at the same time ;)
Beautifully edited! Great job!
Beautiful
Very sexy song and an equally sexy video. Well done!
thanks so much!- patience is definitely helpful when it comes to vidding- it often makes you want to cry and punch things- lol!
Thanks for the info on the song. What a great cover, it really suits your video's mood so well! :) It's amazing how all your layers and colours look so precise on KZread, so far I haven't managed to get any of my layers to show properly. Your videos are truly artistic, I could stare at the compositions forever. It's like your create something new from these scenes you chose by the way you combine them and how you add these artistic touches to your video. So impressive.
thankyou ;) I love about vidding the opportunity to take the source material and kind of 'paint' with it- layering and coloring like a collage that give it a new feeling- its easy to overdo though so I'm glad u think it works! The song is sung by Sara Lov: /watch?v=h19GyB11UNI its a cover by original done by Arcade Fire, one of my fav bands- but their version is too powerful and intense here so happy to find this great cover that worked perfectly =)
Such a beautiful video it's a wonderful job you've done with this one! The song is awesome and the whole vid is fantastic! Merry Christmas Heather :* 3
ohhh, thankyou!!
hmm, thanks for the suggestion- who sings it??
Nice combination of S&M - Sex & Melancholy. :)
hey hon, thankyou- I know we agree on these matters *winks**!
Fowley couldn't hold a candle to Scully! I always thought it odd that Mulder put so much faith in Fowley just on her word!

thanks so much
;') thankyou very very much. I love music to a ridiculous degree the same way I love XF- if its worth doing, its worth over-doing (can't remember who said that!) Srsly, that makes me very happy because I agonize over the music choice!!
thankyou dear
LOL!!! omg, that is PERFECT-- and hilarious!
XD aww, thankyou sweetie- so glad u liked! *fans hand in front of face*, if only it were *real* ! Happiest of Holidays =)
Perfect
thankyou much :D
thanks! X)
Hi Snakey! As always, your vids are lovely, including this one. Seriously, how do you go about making these amazing videos? What program(s) do use to piece clips together and add background music?
scully
ME TOO!!!
hi! X) yeah, I've been a bit scarce lately- longish boring story. thanku, I love that people love the music because I put probably way too much thought into that component of it! And, to hear that my vids give the x-feels- THAT gives ME the feels! I really want for vids to have that emotional punch, thanks so much! I am on twitter under 'snakey973' and pm me for facebook- I don't advertise it cuz I don't want to feel like I'm self-promoting I guess!! makes me feel smarmy!
thankyou ;)
thanks! geezsus- I hated Fowley so much, I could taste it! ...and all the eps ended with me groaning, 'ahhhhhhhhh- pooooooooor Scully!' such a angst buffet X)
Great Video! What episode is 1:42?
Gosh I wish some of that was "real" ;) Another awesome vid
hooo boy
Who sings this? Not the Peter guy... But what girl sings this?
I LOVE Florence so very much, and that is a really cool song- the lyrics would work nicely, but I think its a little too up-tempo perhaps for me anyway- I'm sure the right vidder could make something great w it however!
definately ;) .... I write fanfic, need I say anymore haha....... well done again
this is a cover of the original song by ARCADE FIRE. Its by Sarah Lov- u can find it here: /watch?v=h19GyB11UNI, she's great.
tank u! ;)
Man, I can't edit my commment! With hiot I meant to say "hot"
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not sure if I Commented...So I'm Doing it now....This Video is Beautiful...Ever think of doing a Video with the song Lovers Will By Bonnie Raitt? It Played in a movie Called Playing By Heart (Which Gillian Anderson Is in)....Its A Song That Contributes With Mulder and Scully's Friendship...Or...Relationship...Okay...Whatever it Is They have.....That song Is A great way to describe how it is.👽❤️🎶👀

yes but even without the AU elements:) you chose your song well like the one with Cherry Tree in which there are few AU elements (Extremis, something DD did,...), you really have a talent :) yes it's one of the reasons why I love The X-Files: when they take each other's hand, it's already hot enough :)
