Strong And Silent - The Scully/Skinner Romance Page

Strong And Silent: The Scully Skinner Romance Page

Special Agent Dana Scully:
Strong, virtuous, brilliant.
Assistant Director Walter Skinner:
Silent, committed, principled.
Put them together and you have the most mature, adult couple never seen on TV. With her beauty and his quiet grace, they exemplify dignity, tenderness, forgiveness, commitment and love. But since fun is in short supply for this serious couple, we thought we'd help them along.

This page is best viewed with Netscape 3.0 or higher, 640x480 or higher resolution.

For starters, we thought they needed to have their first kiss. To that end, we did some playing with the fabulous GIF Construction Set to make this animated gif. (291K) Aren't they cute?

But Then What?

Well, that was pretty cute. We won't worry too much about having them reveal their feelings for one another; there are plenty fanfics to take care of that. But what about getting them to celebrate their love? (Yes, all right there are a lot of fics to take care of that, too, but humour me). Why don't we give them some Dutch courage by inviting them to play...
