This is my take on the classic X-Files trope "Mulder pushes Scully away because he thinks he is protecting her." Expect angst, danger, violence, and love. Always love.

Summary
Mulder had been steadfast in his support while Scully was fighting cancer, and it's undeniable their relationship shifted as a result of their shared experience. Having recently discovered her own infertility, being around all the happiness of her nephew's impending arrival a heaviness weighs on her more than she'd expected. So when she suspects that her dead sister has been calling her from beyond the grave to lead her to her daughter, Scully feels she has to step in, and step up. She feels a connection to that little girl and needs to make sure she's cared for, so when Emily is orphaned she knows she'll have to adopt Emily. Mulder of course is right there by her side, and together they explore adopting a three year old girl, finding out more about that girl's origins, and exactly what happened to Scully's stolen ova.

Summary
This is my take on Mulder and Scully's interactions post-Redux. There's angst, UST, Skinner and a scene with a baseball, though no bat, sadly.
"At some point he gave her his key, they became one another's emergency contacts, and it became acceptable to call past any version of a polite cut-off time. She knows the error of this easy slide, and its forking problems, the way it gives her a sense of entitlement, and the disinterested and in-denial possessiveness it creates in him. She remembers thinking of talking about this to a friend - if she still had friends with whom she could discuss such things - and of saying how hard this all is. But she knows the lie in that; this is the easiest thing; this is the only thing that she knows how to do, that she can do."
