Summary
Fox Mulder was never supposed to matter.
Before the badge.
Before the files.
Before the silence between them.At university, Dana Scully is everything Fox Mulder pretends not to be: disciplined, devout, driven by hard work rather than privilege. He is charming, infuriating, and impossible to ignore; a baseball-loving golden boy hiding a mind as sharp as hers and wounds far deeper than he lets anyone see. He’s a distraction she doesn’t need.
Drawn together in class, their rivalry turns into something dangerous and tender, built on late nights and unspoken confessions. Then Fox disappears without explanation, leaving Dana with a lesson she never forgets: never let anyone close enough to break you.
Eight years later, she’s a rising forensic expert at Quantico. He’s an FBI agent chasing truths no one else believes. When fate forces them back together on a case, the past resurfaces: raw, unresolved, and impossible to ignore.
Some silences echo longer than others.
And some people never really leave you.- Language:

Summary
A brown skinned young woman looks up to see a man gazing at her across the train.
He’s older than she remembers, with white stubble grown out into a beard, and a tattoo on his arm she doesn’t remember.
She looks exactly the same to him.
He’s standing. She’s sitting. The train rocks, daylight flashing through the windows, casting a warm glow over her skin. Neither of them move. She stays seated, because he makes no move towards her.
He stays standing, because the sun has cast a halo around her body. If he moves, he’ll block it. They exchange no words, no physical contact.
But they remember it all.
(Dedicated to @yannaryartside of Tumblr, for making the post that sent me down a rabbithole, into a hyperfixation, and then writing the first Abbmira fic ever! (and also a lot of Rollins stuff that I won't own up to))

Summary
Abbot lifted his head to look down at her. “See, that’s the post-traumatic stress. Something happens that your brain decides is a life or death situation. You have a massive adrenaline kick while it’s all happening, and then when it’s bleeding out of you on the comedown, your brain throws out anything that’s not completely vital. The amount of car crash patients we have who don’t even remember coming to the ER when they submit requests for their medical records for insurance… the brain’s a weird thing, Mohan.”
“Yeah,” she said, shooting him a look out of the side of her eyes. “It can even make you convinced you have to hurt yourself in order to seek external validation when the most logical course of action is rest.”
He snorted softly, shaking his head and leaning it back. “God,” he muttered, his cheeks stained pink. “Robby was right. You should have gone into psych.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A night shift from hell ends in Mohan giving Abbot a ride back to his place, where tensions finally boil over.

Summary
Samira exhales through her nose. It might have been a laugh, but he doesn’t allow himself to hope. “Missed me that bad?”
Despite himself, he laughs. It breaks through the lump in his throat, coming out gruff and shaking. “That bad,” he confirms, without a hint of embarrassment.
God, he’s going to fall off this roof. And it wouldn’t even be on purpose.
