Summary
She swallows hard, glassy eyed and deeply, impossibly sad.
Frohike’s look of exasperation morphs into one of anger. “He’s being a dick, Scully. Have you told him that?”
She surprises even herself with the bark of laughter that escapes her. “I don’t think he’d take kindly to that. Especially not now.”
“Scully, I- I don’t understand…I don’t get it.”
She lets out a rueful little laugh, voice thick as she whispers, “Me either.”
_____
A canon divergent take on the Gunmen's involvement in the Diana-arc, in which they're leading the charge for Team Trust-No-One and revealing a lot more about that whole "collecting data on female abductees" piece that somehow got brushed under the rug.

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.

Summary
Great Aunt Olive drops a four-million-dollar matrimonial bomb from the grave, and Scully is entirely prepared to stand on her fiercely independent principles. That is, until her partner points out that sticking it to the patriarchy via a Scottish handfasting loophole is just good financial sense. Strictly for the funding of unauthorized scientific research, obviously.
