Hi hi!

I really wanted to post yesterday, but it was a very long day so I didn't have the time. I might make a personal post later to talk a bit about it. But for now, let's continue with the questionnaire!
15. Choose a song at random, what ship does it remind you of?

Let me open Spotify and put it on shuffle... Well! In Your Eyes, by Peter Gabriel! I'll post it for you guys to enjoy it, too:

Watch on YouTube

This song is obviously very romantic, but now that I'm listening to it thinking of a ship that it reminds me of... I'm thinking of Mulder/Scully (also known as MSR). Firstly, because as a slow burn couple the way they looked at each other kept fuelling the shipping over the seasons (along with other many things, of course). Secondly, look at these lyrics:

When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

I'm thinking of those times when Mulder and Scully would spend some time apart and they'd get in some trouble, sometimes getting involved with other people in a disastrous way, and in the end they'd always come back to each other.

And, finally:

I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

This part also makes me think of them, since they were partners in the FBI but also partners in life, and their work really had them fearing for their lives many times, but then they had each other outside of work, too.

16. Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

Character A works at an optician's and character B goes there to buy some glasses. B might be confused because it's their first time with glasses, experienced but very short-sighted so they need help choosing frames, or really bad at taking care of their glasses so A scolds them for the state of their old ones. Anything goes! Based on the fact I picked up my new glasses this week.
