    Summary

    She swallows hard, glassy eyed and deeply, impossibly sad.

     

    Frohike’s look of exasperation morphs into one of anger. “He’s being a dick, Scully. Have you told him that?”

     

    She surprises even herself with the bark of laughter that escapes her. “I don’t think he’d take kindly to that. Especially not now.”

     

    “Scully, I- I don’t understand…I don’t get it.”

     

    She lets out a rueful little laugh, voice thick as she whispers, “Me either.”

    A canon divergent take on the Gunmen's involvement in the Diana-arc, in which they're leading the charge for Team Trust-No-One and revealing a lot more about that whole "collecting data on female abductees" piece that somehow got brushed under the rug.

    Summary

    He releases her arms to cup her cheeks, holding her gaze on his. “The world’s going to end,” he tells her, tracing her features with her eyes like it’s the last time he’ll ever get the opportunity. “If the only way to stay together is to throw in our lot with Them, I’ll do it.” She is shaking her head, tears in her eyes. “Do you want me to beg, Dana? Because I’ll do that too. Anything, just please. Please.”

    Her given name on his lips hits her like a freight train. Her lip twists, and he wonders if the need in his voice is enough overcome the fact that she knows he’s trying to manipulate her. Dana is for soft moments, where he’s worn thin and needs to remind himself she’s everything. He’s never tried to use it like this before now. “Nothing you say can get me in that car,” she retorts, cheeks red and eyes bright. “I don’t trust her, and I don’t trust you in this state.”

    Summary

    Dan and Elizabeth (not Liz, not Lizzie, Elizabeth) Hale are married on the hottest day of August, 2002, in the City Hall off the main road in Helena, Montana. The bride wears yellow and Neptune is comfortably retrograde. The moon that night will be peerless, sky black, and brand fuckin’ new.

    --

    prompt from anon on tumblr: Everyone always mentions mulder and scully being married but do we ever get to see a wedding? Or variations of their wedding? Literally anything regarding the day they said “I do” would make my heart melt
