Summary
Time to finally get her revenge for that one time Chat Noir unravelled all of her yarn while she wasn't looking.
Quietly, as not to disturb him, Marinette lunges across her desk for her cup of pens, careful to select what is certainly a water-based black marker; one that won't be a complete pain in the ass to scrub off later. Then, with the precision of an artist, she presses the tip to Chat Noir's forehead, right along the edge of his mask.
She keeps her touch feather-light, pausing in nervous anticipation whenever he stirs. Clearly, some higher power is looking out for her, because he doesn't wake until she's totally done.
"Marinette...?" He mumbles eyebrows pulling together in confusion. "What are you doing to my face?"
(or; the one where Chat Noir falls asleep first at the sleepover and has to live with the consequences)

Summary
“Can you really go back in time? Have you really done it before?”
He nods, his face taking on a solemn expression. “I’ve done it once, yeah. I… wasn’t as prepared as I should’ve been, I didn’t weigh out the risks, I didn’t plan for the worst case scenario, and multiple people paid the price. It wasn’t pretty,” he says, his voice taking on a grave undertone. His expressive eyes cloud over, and she wonders what it was, exactly, that happened, to cause him such pain. She takes a moment to mull over his words, tries to make sense of the vague bits and pieces of his story. After a moment of heavy silence, she clears her throat.
“I’m assuming you have a better plan this time around?” She asks, and he nods.
“I want to go back and fix my mistake,” he tells her, and there is such sincerity and regret in his voice that any doubts she’d had earlier dissipate immediately.
(AU, loosely based on Safety Not Guaranteed. Mulder is a time traveler looking for a partner, and Scully finds his ad in the paper. No prior knowledge of Safety Not Guaranteed necessary to read and understand this.)

Summary
He’s not sure how he used to do it. Three years ago, Scully leaving meant unfinished paperwork and pencils stuck in the ceiling. Now, misery replaces boredom and his too-empty apartment no longer feels like home. He carries two cups of coffee to the office every morning out of habit, and he’s caught himself calling out to her from the storage room or rambling about a casefile to an audience of zero.
(or, Mulder misses the sound of Scully's voice.)

Summary
The world ended on a late Thursday evening.
Not literally, of course. The Earth never left its orbit, the stars remained in the sky, and the sun would still rise the next day. But it was just like Sweets said - they’d kissed, and the dam broke. Five odd years of working together, five years of an unlikely friendship and unconditional trust, and it all came down to this, somehow. And all anyone could do was stand there and watch it all crash and burn.
