    Summary

    With Emily cured and legally adopted, Dana Scully has left the X-Files behind, carving out a quieter life as a single mother and instructor at Quantico. In a new home and a new chapter, she’s committed to giving Emily stability, love, and a strong sense of identity. But old ties don’t sever easily. Despite his emotional distance and a life shaped by loss, Fox Mulder slowly begins to form a gentle, genuine connection with Emily.

    As Emily pulls him in with innocent trust and boundless curiosity, Mulder is forced to confront questions of belonging, purpose, and the life he thought he’d never want. And for Scully, who’s worked so hard to build a life on her own terms, it becomes increasingly difficult to ignore the ache of wanting something more. Their connection with Emily doesn’t just shift the dynamic, it becomes the quiet catalyst for everything that follows.

    Summary

    “Is that why you’ve been wearing black?” Scully asks, her blue, blue eyes falling open to find his face, lucid at last. “She wasn’t your child, Mulder.”
    It isn’t rejection on her tongue, simply a statement of scientific fact.
    This isn’t about him.
    Mulder looks down at his hands.
    He doesn’t care.
    “Yeah, she was,” he murmurs. “She is yours, so she is mine.”

    It's simple: He lets Scully set the terms and period of their mourning, and follows her in this as well

    Summary

    She has fallen in love with someone else. And Mulder knows for a fact that there is no one else in her life. They spend every day together. Almost every night. Now even the weekends, sometimes. They go out for lunch, they go to the movies, they just hang out. They spend so much time together, she doesn't even have time to see anyone else. She never talks about anyone in her life. The time she doesn't spend with him, she spends with her mother or her friend Ellen. But that's it. There is no one else in her life and he knows for a fact that she doesn't go on dates. She would tell him if she would – right? They're best friends. She'd tell him.

    Summary

    She held herself, a wraith-like silhouette, at the end of the back porch, a wisp of smoke curling up and catching in the cold light of the moon, and her voice cracked as he joined her, not turning around to check it was him.

    Summary

    "Do you think I could've actually done it, Mulder? The whole single mother thing?"

    He's clearly distracted, fingers flicking through files, but he replies without hesitation: "Well, you wouldn't have had to."

    ~~~~~~~~~

    After Emily, Scully and Mulder have an illuminating conversation - one that reveals the depth of their devotion to one another in a way that is, if they're honest with themselves, not wholly surprising.

    Summary

    Summary–After a traumatic experience, Mulder fabricated an X-file as a way to help Scully escape reality. Over the years, they returned to “investigate” that special place and take advantage of all it had to offer, exploring aspects of their relationship that they attempted to ignore in the real world. As time passed, it grew harder to confine the relationship they shared to that specific time and place.

    **I definitely try to keep everything within canon, but some pieces are a bit of a stretch. Each chapter will reference the nearest episode for context. Brief mentions of the after-math of violence to establish the story. Rating will be adjusted and tags added as chapters post.
