Category: MSRomance/Scully Angst. Takes place sometime after Mulder's funeral.
Spoilers: None, unless you haven't seen the 8th season.
Summery: Post TINH, Scully's musings on Mulder, what was, and what will be. I know it's pretty old but it's really good, well IMHO it is. Please R&R.
Author's Notes: I don't know why I wrote this, I just heard the song, thought it fit. Parts of it get a little sappy, but oh well. Hope you like!
Fallen Embers
Once, as my heart remembers,
All the stars were fallen embers.
Once, when night seemed forever
I was with you.
I remember so many things about you, about us, but most of all I remember the nights. That was when our worlds were perfect and we were just two people in love. There were no X-Files, no monsters or aliens, no Syndicate, just us. That's the way we liked it, we were happy.
Once, in the care of morning
In the air was all belonging.
Once, when that day was dawning
I was with you.
A new world had just opened up to us. A world neither of us had ever seen before. I knew it, I could feel it, (if you were here you'd probably be making fun of me, but I could) I could tell this was right, that we would always be together, 'till death do us part'. Little did I know how right I would be.
How far we are from morning,
How far are we
And the stars shining through the darkness,
Falling in the air.
It's not fair. How could God be so cruel? To let us have one another and then just rip you away from me, from our child. For the longest time I thought I'd never be truly happy again, but I know now that's not true. When this child, our baby, says their first word or takes their first steps I'll think of you and the time we had together and be able to smile. And if I should look into the eyes of our child, and see you staring back, I won't break down and cry I'll be glad to know you live on, not just in my heart, but in our child as well.
Once, as the night was leaving
Into us our dreams were weaving.
Once, all dreams were worth keeping.
I was with you.
That year I thought nothing could ever go wrong. Boy, what a mistake that was. I thought we'd make it, live a "normal" life, if you can believe that. I won't say I can't live without you, because I've done it before and I have to be strong for our baby, and I know deep down I have to move on. But life will never be the same, I'll never be in love with someone the way I was, no, the way I am in love with you, and I'll never dream the way I did when I was with you.
Once, when our hearts were singing,
I was with you.
