Friendshippers forgive me for I have sinned! This is as close[sic] (or rather is....) an MSR.

This is an MSR, all friendshippers beware.

CATEGORY: V, mild MSR (friendshippers can see this as deep friendship by explaining it away on his drugging and her worry), angst

Deep UST, I think this is one both relationshippers and friendshippers will be okay with.

I'm more of a friendshipper but wouldn't mind seeing them kiss, but having him sing...

Some of us are friendshippers, some of us are relationshippers of one variety or another -- some of us want to see a Mulder/Scully relationship occur during the course of the series, while some of us prefer to maintain the slow seduction until the series' end -- but we are all captivated by the intense and uncommon TRUST displayed between the characters.

I think I'm seriously going to become a friendshipper. My God did this ep make me mad. I was practically ready to kick in the TV when Mulder Kissed Diana.

Ok do any other shippers out there just feel like becoming a friendshipper. Mulder has turned into the Ass Hole[sic] of the year, and I wouldn't want Scully to take him if he cam[sic] knocking on her door with a dozen red roses, and Diana's head in a box.

I read *all* the spoilers, and I didn't see *any* kiss on the neck... But hey, I'm a friendshipper, so the holding/comforting was ok...

I didn't *try* to like Doggett. As a M/S friendshipper, I was just trying not to *not* like Doggett.
