Summary
When she looks up at him, her eyes are blank and lost. She takes a shaky breath and then her gaze flickers down to his mouth.
Mulder realizes she’s going to kiss him about half a second before it happens, her lips pressing against his, warm and dry. It’s gentle at first, chaste even, but then she’s running her tongue across his lower lip and he’s opening his mouth under hers. She makes a quiet noise deep in the back of her throat and moves even closer to him, pressing her body flush against his.
(Or, the one where they start sleeping together in season 5.)

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
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.
