Summary
At a high-profile gala, Dana Scully is thrust into the spotlight — celebrated, political, and watched from every angle. But beneath the champagne and speeches lies a deeper tension: a PR director who sees her as an asset, a partner who’s spent years hiding how badly he wants her, and a choice only she can make. Not everyone gets an invitation, but one man doesn’t need one.

Summary
Scully and Mulder attend a game night at the Gunmen’s lair, and change is in the air. Takes place sometime in season 7.
“She sips at her drink. She feels the burn of the vodka soda down her throat; she feels the pull of recklessness. It’s not the drink or the impulse alone that makes her swing; she’s felt this way plenty of times before, seen it in herself, reeled herself back in. The dance is familiar: a call, and an inevitable response; impulse and restraint the perfect twins. She’s not someone who doesn’t feel the pull of temptation, she’s just exceedingly good at resisting it. But tonight, somehow, her reserve and her discretion, which at times have felt painfully, almost punitively inexhaustible—even to her—have run out.
Maybe this is the moment that changes everything.”

Summary
Late season 6, Scully comes to a sudden realization about Mulder's feelings for her while in the middle of a Bureau policy meeting. Part of my 'The Work of an Instant' series.
"It will never get old. Scully will never get over this: the feeling of walking down the hall together, of being in sync with one another, of walking into the fire together. Even when the fire is utterly mundane, an internal policy review meeting on the second floor of the Hoover Building. She listens to the click of their shoes on the floor and feels Mulder’s hand on her lower back as they approach the doors at the back of the auditorium and feels—as she often does beside him—that she is exactly where she is meant to be."
