Her Name Was Bambi 

"Bambi, Bambi, Bambi," Scully's nephew Matthew, sitting on the carpet in front of the TV, babbles excitedly, clapping his hands. Next to her, Mulder chuckles. She throws him a sideway glance, wondering if he's thinking about the same thing she is. She is not thinking about a cute, orphaned fawn. Not even close. No, she's thinking about a different Bambi.

Dr. Bambi Berenbaum.

Post-Millennium Mulder and Scully are roped into babysitting.

“Forgot my shaving kit,” he explained. And then he shook his head violently, droplets of water flying from his hair and splattering her, the bed, the wall, the nightstand, and everything else close by.

‘’Hey!” she cried and swatted at him. Mulder easily dodged her open hand and headed back for the bathroom.

“We used to have a dog that did that after we gave him a bath,” she called out as he disappeared into the steamy room. “Mom made him sleep in the garage.”

He poked his head around the door. “If that’s supposed to scare me, Scully, it won’t work. Your mom likes me.”

“She liked the dog too, Mulder.”

“Bet she never baked a peach pie for him,” he shot back.

Post-War of the Coprophages Scully is almost jealous.

Holding Hands (Gossamer)

His ‘chickadee’, that’s what Frohike had called her.  All three of the guys had been very uncomfortable talking to her about Diana.   Why was that?  What exactly constituted a ‘chickadee’ for Mulder?  They were lovers, she’d supplied that for herself.  At least they had been.  Would they be again, tomorrow?

The End Scully licks her wounds in private.

Sleepless

They all watched as Langly ran the copies that Skinner had brought. Scully was really surprised at the amount of activity for a weekend. Of course the Bureau was a 24/7 organization but it looked like a regular workday Saturday morning. It was a little after 9 a.m. that Frohike spotted him.

"Look over there. Isn't that him with someone? Who - "

"Diana," Scully said flatly. She was frozen in place.

Skinner had been peering at the couple on the screen. Her movement caused him to look over at her. Her face was set, her manner glacial.

Little chickadee.

Is that how the Lone Gunmen are going to explain me away to the next green agent that manages to wind up loving the most insensitive, the most beautiful man on earth?

Mulder, Scully, and their hardships (and honest conversations) through the years. (Sidenote: this is a long-ish fic series, but I didn't have the capacity to include every link.)

Day 26: “Why would I care?” (Ao3)

Just then, Mulder waltzes into the office on his cell phone. “Yeah, seven sounds great. I’ll meet you there. Talk soon.”

He sits at his desk with his feet up, lost in thought.

“What’s at seven?”

“Huh?”

“Rendezvous you just secured for seven?”

“Oh! Oh, that’s nothing. Just made plans to meet up with Diana to catch up on some things.”

Diana. Before she’s able to stop herself, she scoffs.

S6 Scully cries in an elevator.

Day 18: Pool Party (Ao3)

Working on the 6th floor, integrated with all of Kersh’s minions irritates her to no end. She’s just better at hiding it than her better half. Said better half, is sulking at his desk chewing on the end of a pencil. His chair squeaking while he swivels it to the right and left.

S6 Scully is not pleased with the bullpen secretaries.

Day 2: Cocktail (Ao3)

Scully takes it from his relenting grasp and pours its contents down the kitchen drain.

She then takes his hand and leads him into the bedroom.

S6 Mulder remembers Diana's order.

Day 31: “It’s not your fault”

“You got something going on with the delivery man I should know about?” A perfectly manicured eyebrow cocks high to her hairline.

“Not tonight. My dance card is full.” Mulder shrugs apathetically.

“Shame. Willing to make an exception?” Her hand starts to work on the buttons of her blazer right here in his hallway.

“Mulder? Who are you talking to?”

Behind a half dressed Fox Mulder is an equally undressed Dana Scully.

S6 Scully is there when Mulder shoos Diana out the door.

@xxsksxxx/xxSKSxx's Crossroads (Ao3)

“What’s really going on here, Scully?” I don’t think you’ve ever not remembered to bring me lunch when I was working through our lunch break.” Scully snorted, and Mulder snapped his mouth shut in irritation.

“Is this about Diana being here?” he growled and crossed his arms over his chest. “You can’t be serious!”

Pre-Two Fathers Scully and Mulder are frustrated with each other.

Ficlets (Tumblr Prompt) - Chapter 85 and Chapter 89

Scully is not the jealous type. Protective yes, maybe even possessive. But her temperament only allows her to portray it in a subdued way, which is why their conversation at the Gunmen’s hurt so much. Her tumultuous feelings are palpable. Scully doesn’t understand his tangled relationship with Diana – however could she? Its not as though he’s explained it to her. And to make matters worse, to explain things to Scully, to reassure – and soothe her, really – he’d have no choice but to reveal the deep emotional feelings he’s had for her over last several years of their partnership.

Post-One Son Mulder must face his actions in order to help a heartsick Scully.

Erin M. Blair's (Ao3) Mistaken Moments

"I do trust you, Scully. Look, I have told you several months ago in a different hallway that - "

"I don't need to hear this again, Mulder. You already decided that you trust Diana Fowley more than me," said Scully. Her voice was cracking emotionally. There were unshed tears in her eyes, just waiting to fall. She was exhausted from talking with Mulder. She decided to be open and to remain strong. She needed to tell him the truth. "I feel like a fool, Mulder. I'm jealous of Diana Fowley. She shared a part of you that I never had. She calls you by your first name and you never let me call you Fox. I have to admit it bothers me."

Post-One Son Skinner sends his agents on vacation to work out their feelings.

Invisigoth421's Unexpected Bedfellows

"Yeah," he replied. "I was jealous. And I acted like a jerk."

"You act like a jerk quite frequently," Scully replied.

"You're being mean, Scully," he said, trying to look dejected, but Scully would have none of it.

"Think of the countless times you've ditched me," she said." Think of the countless times you've looked me in the eye and told me how wonderful Diana Fowley was. Why do you do it? Why do you do it, and then get jealous when I do the same thing?"

Scully wanted the truth. He could see it in her eyes.

"I always thought you found me annoying Scully," he replied. If she wanted the truth, she would get it.

"Not always," She replied "Sometimes, yes."

"I thought you just tolerated me, most of the time. So I figured it never mattered when I acted like a jerk. It wouldn't make any difference."

"Mulder, you weren't TRYING to make me jealous, with the whole Fowley thing, were you?" Scully asked.

Post-One Son Mulder and Scully wake in bed together, unable to remember what happened. (Bonus: Mulder jealousy.)

@spookyshipperfics/spooky_shipper's The Finer Things (Ao3)

Scully felt heat pooling in her chest. “This is our assignment, Agent Fowley. Our case.”

“And I never meant to imply it wasn’t,” Diana said, taking a step forward. “It’s just Fox and I have a history. We work better when we are alone without... distractions.”

Any mask of professionalism Diana attempted to wear turned transparent. Scully saw right through her. Now, they were just two women with a man between them. “I have no doubt your reasons for wanting to partner off with Mulder carry a personal angle,” Scully practically spat.

“Now you just sound jealous.”

“You’ve been trying to get him alone since you arrived.”

AU-- Post-One Son Mulder and Scully run into Diana while undercover on a train.

The Nature of the Beast

Recent events have sensitized him to Scully's moods. She is human, after all, and can also fall prey to human doubts and fears. Yet it seems beneath her to be jealous. Even mentioning the possibility to her is perilous. On the other hand, for them the lines between the personal and the professional blur more with each passing day. Before they got the X-Files back and things were going to hell all around them, he'd been dismissive of Scully's concerns. She'd turned out to be right, up to a point. He has yet to truly acknowledge that to her.

Will it always be this hard? Will Scully question any and all females who cross his path, and how will he be able to tell if it's a personal or professional concern?

Alpha Scully and Mulder are disappointed with their stalling relationship.

@lokisgame/Lokisgame's Unnamed

“So I’m not a tall, leggy blonde, so what” she said quietly, her lips closing around the straw for a second “you can find yourself one and ask her out to the movies next time, if you want”

“I don’t” he began but she shushed him reaching for some popcorn from the bag in his hands, eyes fixed on the screen.

Scully and Mulder and a movie.

Narida Law's Unscrupulous

She didn't need to walk anything off.  She just had to keep those women at the requisition desk from ogling what was hers.  Granted, it seemed that =every= female at FBI headquarters seemed to get all moony-eyed and twitterpated at the sight of her tall, well-dressed, impeccably groomed partner, but those women at requisitions were the worst.  They never bothered to hide the fact that they were all over him like static cling on pantyhose.

It was sick.  It was disgusting.  And Scully, for one, would not stand for it.

Post-Amor Fati Scully is tired of other women ogling Mulder's hair.

@feejee-mermaid/feejee_mermaid's Turn and Face the Strange (Ao3)

Scully thought of Chastity and involuntarily bristled, then chastised herself for the juvenile feeling. She wasn’t sure she wanted to examine it very closely. The girl had shamelessly checked out her partner and Mulder had done a double take. She’d leveled him with a look, and he’d chuckled sheepishly, and that was that. But she worried about her reaction. She knew she had a possessive streak running below the surface, buried deep like a copper vein.

It tended to flare whenever he got appreciative glances from waitresses, rental car agents, flight attendants, or even the more overt come-ons from the Shelia Fontaines who seemed to inhabit every pocket of small town America. Wherever they went, women were undressing him with their eyes. Not that she could really blame them. She had eyes herself.

Rush Scully battles some ups and downs in Millennium's wake.

@wexleresque/hellsteeth's

the fbi basement bulletin board - Chapter 15 (Ao3)

Scully leans against the wall nearest the door and crosses her arms over her chest. She can't help the annoyed sigh that escapes her lips when the witness laughs airily and places her hand over Mulder's for a split second. She chooses to think that the feeling in her stomach is second hand embarrassment instead of jealousy. Which is probably being too generous to herself.

S7 Scully marks her turf.

Sukie Tawdry's The Way Things Are (1) and The Way Things Are (2)

Mulder had done as she'd asked, keeping his concern to himself, and in the process, keeping his distance. He spoke to her only when necessary and kept his comments work related. He made no move to carry her luggage and didn't turn around in the airport to see if she was following him. Head held high, she refused to ask for help, even when her head pounded and her legs felt like lead.

It was a pitched battle between the two of them--Mulder's studied unconcern, Scully's stubborn pride. Her independence proved almost impossible for her to maintain. Trips to the ladies room became longer and longer as she vomited up every morsel she consumed.

In the campaign to return to business as usual, Mulder seemed to find an ally in the lovely detective who had called them in on the case. Pam Clayton was tall and slim and completely professional. Scully would have hated her if she could muster up the energy.

AU-- Post-Miracle Man Scully and Mulder stumble into parenthood (and a slow-burn relationship.)

@sunflowerseedsandscience's Someday Your Child May Cry

Still, whether it’s irrational or not, she doesn’t quite feel equal to the task of striding into that room and breaking up their intimate moment. Calling Mulder from the car seems safer, for now, with the damned progesterone messing with her emotions, making her feel things she knows can’t be real.

Because she can’t be jealous. She just can’t.

AU-- The IVF arc spans Season 5, FTF, and Season 6: smack dab in the middle of the Diana Fowley's appearance.

@ghostbustermelanieking/skuls's encephalon - Chapter 2 

He still has trouble getting the words out, all these months later; he swallows dryly.

Jenn jabs a thumb at the desk. “Medical records right there. So. Are you still trying to show off? Or do you really not want to live?” Mulder doesn't answer, his chest tight; Jenn shakes her head and adds, “I guess you are showing off. But it's not impressing anyone. I'd figure you'd at least want to live for that jealous partner of yours.”

“I said I wasn't going to make a wish for me,” he says determinedly, even if the guilt is building in his throat like bile.

AU-- S7 Scully is a bit jealous when she and her dying partner run into a genie.

TheAddict4Dramatics's Untitled Requiem Ficlet

She really thought that she was done crying in the bathroom over this woman. Why couldn’t she just stay dead? He was going to go, he was going to go with Diana and insist that she stayed put. She could hear his argument – they’re taking abductees, it’s not safe for you, I won’t risk it. She’d always hated the petty jealous side she knew she had, it was far from an envious or endearing quality. But this was so much more than the usual bubble of annoyance that bloomed in her chest whenever somebody else was sniffing around him. Diana had such a genuine claim on him; so much history and shared belief, it caused that bubble to morph into something much more solemn and final. Even after their relationship had changed so dramatically in the last few weeks. It turned out she was still insecure about what she meant to him.

Suddenly there was a loud banging on the door.

“Scully it’s me, let me in.” She looked at the door but made no move to unlock it. “I know you’re in there and I’m going to wait here until you let me in so just do it please.”

AU-- Requiem Scully is shaken by Diana's reappearance.

Malibusunset's Vita Nova (Terra Firma Series, Part 4)

Here we go. Here come the claws. He wouldn't smile. He wouldn't.

"I can't believe we left our children with her," she said, her voice climbing a few decibels.

"I don't think she's evil, Scully. Misguided and a little slutty maybe? But not dangerous. I don't think the children will need therapy. Not from that anyway."

"Just where does she get off seducing other women's husbands? I have half a mind to pay her a visit and have a little woman to woman chat with her."

Mulder chuckled now. At least the daggers weren't flying at him anymore. Don't mess with jealous Scully.

AU-- S9 Mulder fields inappropriate advances from a babysitter (and Scully's possessive anger afterward.)

Girlie_girl7 's A Day in the Life, 01

Mulder laughs while customers standing nearby just stare. He drops his voice and says, "You are jealous. I think that's sweet."
