| Dippers
It's not easy being a minority in a fandom so focused on
another pairing of "The X-Files". Since 2000, Dippers
haven't exactly been treated well in the X-Files fandom. While
most of that is just a matter of others not having tolerance
for the idea of either Mulder or Scully being romantically
involved with another character, another is not listening
to fans who enjoy the Doggett/Scully relationship, not even
bothering to try to understand our side of the fandom. It
is because of that second reason that this Dippers section
has been created, this is an archive of Dipper perspectives
on the Doggett/Scully relationship, why we like it, why we
prefer it over that other relationship option, and why we
think it's the best relationship for both Doggett and Scully
to be involved in. So the question is... why do you like Doggett
and Scully?

I like the Doggett/Scully relationship because of the potential
that it had that was unexplored on "The X-Files"
series. Through season 8 and season 9 TPTB showed us enough
little moments (and sometimes not so little moments) between
Doggett and Scully that told me that *if* Mulder had never
returned and the show had continued they would have developed
a relationship between Doggett and Scully. Doggett treats
Scully so well, and with respect. He's loyal to her, faithful,
trustworthy, and he loves her. By the end of season 9 we even
get hints that Scully cares very deeply for Doggett too, if
not that then she too has fallen in love with him. I love
the DSR because it was intended, but was left nearly unexplored.
My favorite XF fanfic to read is Doggett/Scully (DSR) fanfic
because the DSR authors I have read have written the characters
and their interactions/relationship true to how it was presented
on "The X-Files" series. Doggett/Scully is all about
potential, the subtle moments and the never ending possibilities
between the two characters.

I first liked the Doggett/Scully relationship when "Without"
first aired. I thought Doggett was full of respect, despite
how Scully had treated him earlier. I like them together because
he's a good man, and Scully deserves a good man. It's too
bad they didn't actually get together on the show, that would've
brought so many more layers to their characters. I really
enjoy the possibility of what could've been with these two.

Doggett's so much more than Mulder. He's patient, kind, adorable,
attractive, loving, determined...the list goes on and on.
Scully needs someone who can be there for her - only her.
Not his sister. Not the truth. Not conspiracies. Doggett can
give Scully the world. She deserves it all and he can give
it to her. Now, we just sit back and let CC do his job. Hopefully
he'll do it right.

Well, for one thing, they look damned cute together... the
idea of blue eyes being the thing they share kind of appeals
to me, considering I myself have blue eyes. ;-) Also, it seems
to me that here is the kind of man she's been looking for,
a nice guy with a full head of hair and not that many emotional
hangups or dirty secrets (this is what I choose to believe),
and a big house, too.

What's not to love??? He's an emotionally mature, stable man
(which, as much as I love him, Mulder just *isn't*--he's still
twelve), a gentleman, respectful, and *SO* obviously head
over heels for her. And Scully's a strong, independent, emotionally
mature (though not quite as stable as she used to be, due
to excessive ScullyTorture :-/) woman who deserves to be with
someone who won't be in a constant state of need. :-) Doggett
and Scully have *much* more give and take, much more equality
in their relationship, if for no other reason than Doggett
doesn't always have to be right, like Mulder did. And they
have enough common ground to make the relationship last. To
quote something I posted to another list: "Opposites
may attract, but commonalities last." If XF had started
off with all four of the "current" agents, Scully
and Doggett would've been the popular pair from the start,
and I think Mulder would've gotten matched with Reyes. :-)

Where do we start?!! Look at Doggett. Manly, intense, steely,
that voice, those eyes.... I could go on forever. He's adorable,
a gentle man, yet will get passionate for certain causes.
But he won't let these quests take over his life, unlike a
certain other missing FBI agent!! And it's about time our
favourite female agent had a REAL man in her life, not someone
who has the emotional maturity of a goldfish! Mulder has too
much emotional baggage. It's time for Scully to open her eyes.
And as a bonus, Bill Jr will love Doggett!!! And when they
are on screen together....BOY!! Come and feel that tension
they got going between them. They work well together. And
look great! Damn cute!!!!

Why do people love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Because
they just belong together!! Seriously, I was a Shipper for
a long time, mostly because I'm a hopeless romantic. But there
were doubts. I mean, Scully was meant to believe *all* of
Mulder's theories or face all Mulder's paranoid accusations,
but whenever Scully suggested one particularly of a religious
bent, Mulder practically laughed at her! And he kept ditching
her. Constantly. And the whole Diana Fowley thing... But still,
I held out. Then I saw John Doggett, and all shippiness was
lost. He's a manly man, does manly things like drive a pick
up truck. He's got those gorgeous, piercing blue eyes. He
hasn't alienated the entire world as evidenced by the fact
that he has friends. He's never ditched Scully, ever. He didn't
let the tragic death of his son take over his life, unlike
Mulder's obsession with Samantha. He gave Scully a Get Well
Soon card after she threw water at him, and she got him a
desk. There's an undeniable chemistry between Doggett and
Scully that's been there from the start. There's a underlying
respect that I never sensed was there with Mulder for Scully.
And did I mention Doggett's eyes? :-)

I love his compassion and concern for her and although she
at times can be such a b*tch toward him, she is being more
accepting and trusting toward him and that there is a a growing
friendship. Last but not least he is damn hot!

Uhm, I've always loved Scully and now I do love Doggett too,
because he's a really good Agent, a mature man, he's sexy
and so much more than Mulder would ever be. They both are
look so damned cute together and they are a really good team.
LJP has made me to a Dipper, since I've read her great story
'In One Day'. :)) Thank's, honey!

Ok to start this off I have to let you all know that I am
a "msr" Noromo, I don't believe that Mulder and
Scully are right for eachother. I think that Mulder is too
immature, self-centered (though I don't think he realizes
it) and work-involved to provide Scully with a healthy, loving
relationship. That doesn't mean that I don't think they don't
love eachother as friends. Having said that, I like the pairing
of Doggett and Scully because they are perfect for eachother.
Scully understands what Doggett is going through, having gone
through it herself. They are both skeptics at heart, and work
hard for answers, Scully by science and Doggett with good
ol' cop investigating. Though it has been suggested and later
confirmed that Doggett lost someone close to him (much like
Mulder), he is much more in control of his life and his emotions.
Yes, Doggett doesn't seem to open up that easily (neither
does Scully), but I believe if Doggett completely trusts someone,
he will open up to that person, I believe that that person
should be Scully. Scully is understanding and caring in nature,
just like Doggett. Yes, they both have their stubborn moments
but they agree to disagree. I also think that the writers
on XF could pull off DSR. Mulder and Scully already know just
about everything about the other, to become involved in a
romantic relationship with that knowledge would be boring
to watch on screen. Doggett is new in Scully's life, if they
became involved, it would be an excellent device for character
development for both Doggett and Scully. Though I say I want
them together I still want the backbone of the series to revolve
around the x-file cases, a DSR relationship can just be addressed
now and then so the viewers know. That would make me happy.
(and I'm sure I could elaborate even more if I had more time).
