In honor of the Je Souhaite anniversary, here’s a lil’ post Caddyshacksmut for ya. This is one chapter in a larger work, I’ll link below.
Je Souhaite
(2000)
“I don’t know if you noticed, but I never made the world a happier place.”
“Well… I’m fairly happy. That’s something,” she replies honestly.
They relax on his couch, another grueling case finished, Caddyshack insisting upon them in the background. When he tells her he used his final wish to set the jinni free, it doesn’t surprise her at all, but she does laugh at the cheesiness of this whole thing. He puts his arm around her and pulls her in close, kissing the top of her head.
“Give me a break, all right? It was the right thing to do.”
Of course he’d use his final wish to set her free. It was such a Mulder thing to do. Her, on the other hand…
“I can think of a few things I’d have asked for,” she admits.
“Like what?”
She knows Mulder blew his first two wishes trying to achieve world peace. And she can’t be selfish when it comes to these things, especially after the little speech she gave him earlier about not attempting to fix the world’s problems with a single wish. But thoughts of her infertility, thoughts of all the terrible things that have happened to them both can’t help but invade her mind. To be able to erase so much with a simple wish… the thought is tempting, however unrealistic.
She’s starting to believe some way, somehow, none of it was even real at all, anyway. It happens to her occasionally.
