Summary
A Christmas story that begins with Mulder & Scully exchanging gifts at the end of 'How the Ghosts Stole Christmas', and continues through to the events of Tithonus.
"Scully hadn’t been sure whether to come here tonight. She hadn’t been sure whether she’d give him the gift she’d purchased, weeks ago. She never knows how to pick the level of intimacy, the level of care and the expense, when she buys him gifts. His gifts to her pitch and yaw with a speed and intensity that is entirely unpredictable. One Valentine’s day early in their partnership, he left a dozen red roses and a large box of fancy chocolates on her desk, and brushed off her thanks with a dismissive “Got ‘em at Lost and Found.” There was the Apollo 11 keychain, when she was ill. He’d written it off as just a “cool keychain,” but she’d believed in the meaning she’d found in it, and treasured it ever since as if it were sentimental jewelry."

Summary
Mulder and Scully take part in an undercover operation, and Mulder learns something about Scully's feelings for him. Takes place in season 6, shortly after The Unnatural.
"He wonders if she’ll find that freeing, knowing that he won't be listening, and no one they know will be listening. In general, they save the truest things for each other. *We neither of us perform to strangers.* But today it might be helpful to perform to an audience of strangers who will soon forget her words."
This is a completed story; Chapter 2 will be posted in the next few days.

Summary
Scully and Mulder attend a game night at the Gunmen’s lair, and change is in the air. Takes place sometime in season 7.
“She sips at her drink. She feels the burn of the vodka soda down her throat; she feels the pull of recklessness. It’s not the drink or the impulse alone that makes her swing; she’s felt this way plenty of times before, seen it in herself, reeled herself back in. The dance is familiar: a call, and an inevitable response; impulse and restraint the perfect twins. She’s not someone who doesn’t feel the pull of temptation, she’s just exceedingly good at resisting it. But tonight, somehow, her reserve and her discretion, which at times have felt painfully, almost punitively inexhaustible—even to her—have run out.
Maybe this is the moment that changes everything.”
