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
Dead. Mulder was dead (kind of at least). Now he's not. Time moved on without him, and everything feels off kilter.
For him it feels like days, but six months has passed since he was taken, and Scully is very visibly pregnant, and although he's curious about that, his brain keeps skipping on that whole being dead thing. Nothing feels right, and he doesn't know how to be, or feel or exist in his own space.
And then he finds the shirts that Scully would cuddle up with when she snuck into his apartment, and he finds the voicemails she'd left on his machine.
An exploration into how Mulder may have been feeling around the time of Three Words, and bridging some of the gap between Deadalive and Three Words.
