Summary
Set Post Millennium.
Scully needs to tell Mulder how she feels, and has devised a fool-proof plan to confess her feelings to him without the risk of her rational brain high-jacking the moment. Fluff and smut and things.

Summary
This story was inspired by a prompt from tictoc134 💗
The narrative builds toward Mulder finally confessing his feelings to Scully, only for her, for reasons of her own, to turn him away.
Unable to reconcile working beside her while processing the emotional fallout, Mulder leaves DC to follow a work-adjacent lead up north. There, he unexpectedly meets someone who helps him gain a sense of clarity.
In his absence, Scully remains in DC, with no word from him for three weeks. She is left sitting with the weight of what she said, fully aware of the hurt she caused, while also dealing with her own sense of loss and the pain of his complete withdrawal.
Note: This is tagged as Mulder/Other (and then of course, MSR). This is a dynamic I previously thought I would never write, but I’ve learned to never say never. 😅 That said, as with my Scully/Other content, this aspect does not dominate the story, but it serves a specific purpose within the larger arc.
Thank you, tictoc134, for the prompt! I really appreciate your patience, especially since you requested this a while ago. I made a few adjustments, but I believe the core idea is still there. I hope you enjoy it 💗🙏🥰

Summary
I have written a number of stories about their first time. Set over the course of different seasons, what if they got together at different times, for the first time?
None of these are required to read connected to each other. They're just a collection of works.
