Summary
In the aftermath of Amor Fati, Mulder and Scully seem to be on the verge of something new. Scully decides to spend a quiet weekend at home in her own company, in part to think over their changing relationship. Scully’s plans for time to herself are torpedoed by Mulder calling her throughout the weekend.
“Ma’am, I’ve had reports that an unlicensed plumber has been working in your apartment. Do you require any medical assistance?
He affects a southern twang, one that reminds her of an officer they’d met in Clover County, Texas, over the summer.
“Are you offering unlicensed medical assistance Mulder? I’ve finished the plumbing. Successfully, mind you. Now I’m baking.”
This is a completed story.

Summary
Deep down, Mulder knew that if they were entangled even more tightly, he’d eventually become more irritated than aroused by her voice. He’d hear it in reference to uneaten vegetables and unopened mail and unfolded laundry. That holy righteous rage of hers, that unquenchable fire that roared at him to be better and do better and live better, would illuminate not just his career but the entirety of his being. And he doubted he could live up to that scrutiny. After almost almost getting her killed any number of times, somehow Mulder knew that asking her to forgive more mundane betrayals would be the final straw. Abduction? Possession? Cannibalism? All in a day’s work. Leaving sunflower shells everywhere? That was a bridge too far. It was better, safer, sweeter, kinder to love each other the way they did. To keep some mystery alive, and with it her steadfast belief in him. Delaying consummation was delaying his inevitable disappointment of her.
