Summary
“—this has something to do with what happened. With Eddie Van Blundht.”
He stirred, tapped the spoon against the rim of the pot and set it aside. Then turned to her and leaned back against the counter, crossing his long legs and bracing on his palms. “What did happen?”
She sipped from her wine to keep her mouth busy. It didn’t help; his gaze followed the wineglass to her mouth, then trailed down her throat as she swallowed. It was warm in here, no doubt from the stove being on.
“You read my report, Mulder,” she said, calmly. “Are you impugning my thoroughness?”
“Never.” For some reason, his voice was thick. His eyes had moved back to her mouth. Now they rose to meet her steady look—slowly, like he was taking his time, taking in the contours of her face. “But given the nature of the… encounter, I have to assume there were details you didn’t include because you didn’t think they would be appropriate for an official report.”

Summary
He froze. Physically froze. It felt as though his brain could not make sense of the scene. The only thing he knew with any certainty was that the man whose insides covered the walls of her living room had intended that his sister would never leave the bathroom alive. She would have left this room in a body bag and no longer whole.
If Mulder had been later, if she hadn’t gotten herself free, he would have found her here in this room. Lifeless and missing some pieces.

Summary
Scully reveals a personal fantasy of hers after a particularly stressful case, and Mulder is desperate to help her fulfill it and show her what she means to him.
‘Well, I must say, Agent Scully, I’m impressed! Good girl.’ The officer winked at her before sauntering off to refill his coffee mug.
Scully stood perfectly still, tensing her fingers, trying to keep her expression as neutral as possible. Men like that were desperate to get a rise out of a young woman and loved to see them squirm. The worst thing she could do right now was react and show him that he had an effect on her.

Summary
This is a "What if" story... What if Daniel left his wife while Scully was in medical school, and they later married? A couple years into their marriage, Scully is assigned to work with Mulder.
**Scully-centric Story**
As Scully navigates her marriage to Daniel, she finds herself growing closer to Mulder in ways she never anticipated. The bond that forms between them begins to significantly impact her relationship with Daniel. Torn between her loyalty to her husband and the undeniable connection she shares with Mulder, Scully is forced to confront the complexities of her emotions.
⚠️Please read the tags.⚠️Yes, this begins with Scully/Daniel, but the focus isn’t on the early, more intimate years of their relationship. Instead, it’s about Scully’s struggle to balance her marriage while Mulder becomes an increasingly prominent part of her life. Eventually, this shifts to MSR, and yes, there is infidelity. You’ve been warned.

Summary
There had been so many false starts between them. They lived in this dichotomy that had become all too comfortable; partners, friends; a professional air, a flirtation they skirted around and then those sporadic moments in the dark. Passionate and wanting, always as a result of something terrible and then never spoken of again. Cloistered and hidden away, until the next time.

Summary
“Whatever’s been happening to you, Scully, that thing—” Mulder cut himself off; whatever he muttered next was under his breath and almost too quiet for her to make out, but she got the gist: it was sick for it to go around looking like an angel.
“What if it is?” she asked, and he turned to stare at her. When it became clear that he was waiting for the other shoe to drop, she clarified: “An angel.”While marooned on an Ohio backroad on their way back from a case, Mulder and Scully find themselves the recipients of a cryptic—and possibly fatal—omen.

Summary
Dana Scully never expected to live forever. With a cancer diagnosis, and a premature expiration date stamped right on her forehead, she'd settle for enough time to throw back a few beers, and maybe do one or two lab experiments. She's a rational person, after all. But when she meets Fox Mulder, her time sensitive life suddenly goes off the rails. As Mulder digs up her secret past, and the events leading up to her cancer diagnosis, he becomes convinced that maybe not all is as it seems. Fighting against the clock for answers, cures, and capital T Truth, college life turns into government conspiracies, aliens, and things that lurk in the dark. Scully's never believed in monsters, but sometimes knowledge isn't infallible, and even the most hardened truths can be fickle.

By the time they hit Richmond the sickly Virginia heat had crept in, wet and heavy, and his back was becoming one with the leather seat.

A humid weekend in Southern Virginia and a case that’s going nowhere fast. They edge closer to one another, for want of anything else to do.
