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
Diana is dead. Mulder, while under the influence of the alien virus, read Scully's mind and knows how she feels. With a Yankees cap on and his head bandaged, they exchanged vows in his hallway. So why haven't they taken the next logical step? Maybe they need an intervention. Some heroes don't wear capes. Margaret Scully certainly doesn't need one.

Summary
One night, a little girl knocked on Fox Mulder’s apartment door — and that’s how the story began.
In this story, they finally get a chance at a life beyond investigations, a life they’ve never had before.
(This isn’t about an established relationship — it’s more like a story about the first time… And the second one, too.)
Their little family will gradually take shape in Mulder’s bachelor pad.
Mulder will finally become a dad. He didn’t ask for it, but hey — who ever asks him anyway… 😂 (By the very end of the series, he’d regret it so much that I just couldn’t resist giving him this kid.)
And of course, there’ll be some supernatural stuff thrown into the mix. (I mean, come on — it’s *The X‑Files*.) The show’s canonical mythology, with a few creative tweaks.
So… let’s play house for a while — with a kid in the picture.

Summary
This is a short post-Orison fic.
After the attack, Scully chooses to remain in her apartment. She is struggling with a profound sense of lost control in every sense of the word: Pfaster’s intrusion, the physical restraint, and even the act of killing him, which leaves her feeling displaced from her own agency. Leaving the apartment feels, to her, like an acknowledgment that Pfaster still holds a presence there, in the space that should be hers.
Mulder, in turn, decides that if she stays, he will stay with her.
That night, Scully attempts to reclaim control in a way that ultimately leaves her feeling even more hollow. In the aftermath, Mulder helps her begin to understand what control actually is, and what it is not.

Summary
Season nine can't hurt you here. This is what I would have thought logically followed the events of Existence. This work will likely focus on setting-up how and where my head canon says Mulder and Scully spent the early 2000s. Be patient, there is a case file here after the domestic fluff. This is where my head canon diverges sharply from Chris Carter's universe.

She hadn’t noticed it, at least not at first. A little band of silver. On her left ring finger. That was when she noticed that Mulder had one, too, and neither of them knew how it got there.

Summary
Following her kidnapping by Donnie Pfaster, Scully is still struggling in the aftermath of it all. She can't eat, can't sleep, and hiding it from Mulder is only growing more difficult as the days pass. Finally, she breaks, and the only comfort she can get is from him. Scully, navigating the turbulence of healing, journeys through the realisation that to be supported by Mulder, she must forsake her fears of being seen as someone to be saved—to allow herself to be vulnerable where it is safe to be. In this, Scully asks herself: How can she emerge from this darkness, how will this change the dynamic between her and her partner, and what will become of them?

Summary
*NEW CHAPTER ADDED/EDITED - Chapters 6 & 7 - Perfect Day for a Picnic & Stop and Settle Down
Each chapter was written so they can be read as a standalone or read together to tell an entire story. This story was originally written in 2014 and completed in 2020.
This follows MSR beginning with "The End" in season five all the way until post season 11. It is canon compliant. The continuity in the storylines always bothered me, MSR deserved more than to become an x-file. This is a result of that nagging and a labor of love.
This story is part of a larger series (titled Rooted in Friendship) that begins pre-season 1 and covers every episode of the X-Files up to Season 11 and then beyond into its own universe.
First Kiss is Ch. 14
First time is Ch. 21,
All Things is Ch. 37
Season 6 - Ch. 2-16
Season 7 - Ch. 17-39

Summary
In this canon-divergent reimagining of Season 8, Mulder’s return marks the beginning of a painful and complex reckoning.
The world he knew has changed—his work has moved on without him, and Scully, now seven months pregnant, stands before him both familiar and achingly distant. Haunted by PTSD and unable to process the trauma of his abduction, Mulder retreats inward, struggling to find his place in a life that no longer feels like his own.
For Scully, his return is a miracle shadowed by heartbreak. She is overjoyed he's alive, but his emotional distance deepens the loneliness she endured during his disappearance. As both grapple with grief, change, and unspoken fears, they must learn to navigate this new chapter together—where patience, healing, and love will be their only way back to each other.
Note: This reimagining of Season 8, offers an alternative path in which Mulder’s emotional distance is explored with greater nuance—granting him the space to confront his trauma and better understand the weight of his experiences. At the same time, it allows Scully to articulate her own heartache and find validation in the profound grief she endured during his abduction, presumed death, and eventual return.
