Summary
For five years, Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully have navigated the unexplainable side by side: monsters, conspiracies, and the kind of loyalty that defies reason. They’ve survived abductions, conspiracies, and losses. But they have lived in the spaces between it all: partners, friends, something more, and never quite enough.
What they’ve never survived… is distance.
When Dana Scully is reassigned across the country, Fox Mulder tells himself eight months is nothing. But in her absence, he discovers just how much of his world begins and ends with her.
By the time she returns, Mulder is finally ready to say the words he’s buried for years.
He’s just not prepared for what she brings back with her.
With a deadline looming and the past rising to the surface, Mulder must decide whether to stay silent or risk everything on a truth that may already be too late.Bookmarked by Lostmarbles

Summary
This story was inspired by a prompt from tictoc134 💗
The narrative builds toward Mulder finally confessing his feelings to Scully, only for her, for reasons of her own, to turn him away.
Unable to reconcile working beside her while processing the emotional fallout, Mulder leaves DC to follow a work-adjacent lead up north. There, he unexpectedly meets someone who helps him gain a sense of clarity.
In his absence, Scully remains in DC, with no word from him for three weeks. She is left sitting with the weight of what she said, fully aware of the hurt she caused, while also dealing with her own sense of loss and the pain of his complete withdrawal.
Note: This is tagged as Mulder/Other (and then of course, MSR). This is a dynamic I previously thought I would never write, but I’ve learned to never say never. 😅 That said, as with my Scully/Other content, this aspect does not dominate the story, but it serves a specific purpose within the larger arc.
Thank you, tictoc134, for the prompt! I really appreciate your patience, especially since you requested this a while ago. I made a few adjustments, but I believe the core idea is still there. I hope you enjoy it 💗🙏🥰

Summary
During a case meeting, Scully briefly leaves the conference room, leaving Mulder alone with several male agents who begin making crude comments about her and mocking Mulder’s obvious feelings for his partner. Mulder’s anger escalates as the men openly sexualize Scully and accuse him of being in love with her.
This plot has been done a million times, but I wanted to try and give it a go.

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.

While investigating a possible alien abduction, Mulder and Scully unwittingly become victims themselves. Unfortunately, these are not the little green men they know from cartoons.
