    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?”

    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

    “Sleeping together with other individuals offers a variety of advantages, including protection from predators and buffering against cold nighttime temperatures… The availability and quality of each position within the sleep site depends on the choices made by other group members.”

    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.
