Summary
“It’s true, Dana,” Mrs Mulder said, finally, when Dana remained silent. “You’re coming to live with us for a while. This way, your mother can focus on helping your little brother. And your father can beaver away at his work on the new base. It will be no trouble at all to us. We have plenty of space. You will have your own room, very private, with a lock on the door and everything. It’ll be safer for you. And good for Fox. He needs to be challenged.”
Dana had no disagreements with Mrs Mulder on that score, but she rather doubted the long-term effectiveness of the strategy being proposed. Again, she glanced around the room. “But, Mrs Mulder, your son hates me.”

What if when Charlie got rheumatic fever, the Scully family happened to live on the Vineyard? And also, it were 1943 -- the year a secret Navy base appeared on the Vineyard, and multiple test pilots disappeared?

Summary
What if Mulder returned to England after "The Erlenmeyer Flask"? And someone decided this was the perfect time to start stalking Scully?
OR
“They’re goddamn right you should’ve told me!” His voice thundered off eighteenth-century oak beams. “You could be dead, right now!”
She made a noise like he’d slapped her. Had he really just repeated their first fight? Yes. Of course. Because Fox Mulder was a sap and a fuckup and he’d left her all alone out there, and now- “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell like that. I’m just…”
“I didn’t think you’d care.” Her voice was the size of a lethal injection needle. It threaded neatly under his skin and into his veins and sent breathless death straight into his heart.
“What?” he rasped.
“You’d moved on. Or, away. You’d moved away. You have another life at Oxford, now, Mulder. Other goals. Other priorities. I should handle these things on my own. I need to handle these things on my own.”
“...Is this why you won’t answer my emails? Is this why you screen all your calls?”Bookmarked by AVBookNerd

Summary
Dana was studying to become a doctor in Baltimore when it happened. As small as a poppy seed.
Her entire world shifted. Her mother had found it shameful, her father, unforgivable. Daniel had found it impossible. Mulder found it… fascinating.'His heart ached for her, and the terrible things that must have led her to even consider this arrangement.
He had to say something, he had to give her a chance to turn around and make a better decision.‘Is this what you want, Dana?’ He asked abruptly, stepping further into her personal space than he had before.
She felt her entire world still, and a raw pain shot through her. Not one person in her life had cared to ask her that yet.
‘It is what must be done.’ She said simply, and the air stung around her words.
He nodded, his eyes dropping from hers to somewhere over her shoulder. He didn’t move away, and Dana felt a scorching heat envelop her body in his presence. She thought it must be fear, or perhaps just a symptom of her situation.
It suffocated her, the dry heat, the deep, woodsy smell of him, the insanity of his questioning. It was all too much.'- Language:

Summary
“Come on, Scully. I’m a single man with a dangerous job. I carry a gun for a living. I disappear without notice. I sleep on couches and in motels and occasionally in our office. I don’t exactly scream stable home environment.”
“Yes, you scream questionable life choices and no experience with children–”
He snorted.
“—But you also scream resilient. And protective. And incapable of walking away from someone who needs you.”Mulder and Scully’s partnership deepens even further when Mulder petitions to adopt his biological niece.
