assigning Scully to the X-files was the funniest thing the US government ever did because imagine you send this logical, rule-following scientist to spy on the Basement Weirdo but instead they fall in love and soul-bond so intensely that itโs actually a legitimate threat to national security. all the super-important super-evil government conspiracies are at risk because you (the US government) accidentally pulled the best matchmaking job in history and now theyโre so in love and oh shit theyโre breaking into another top-secret facility, theyโre discovering evidence of another war crime, theyโre gazing longingly into each otherโs eyes next to a crashed ufo and itโs all your fucking fault
