Summary
Fox Mulder already knew success with a thriving practice in Seattle, a home of his own, and a life with promise ahead of him but there was something missing as he looked ahead, with his assignment papers in his hands, at a ship waiting on the horizon. On the other side of the country, Dana Scully wanted nothing more than to escape the life that everyone, but her, had planned for as she pushed patience, the limit of what is expected of her, and the strength she never knew she could have.

Annie, the prospect of drawing you had me excited and terrified...terrified for putting as many easter eggs into the piece as I could (that you'd appreciate) while upholding the canonical values AND giving you something you'd enjoy, breeze through, and still find intriguing. I hope I did just that.
