Summary
[A season 4 fic, a series of non-linear vignettes, a connective tissue, a house of cards, etc. You ever love someone so much you very, very, very slowly set your entire life on fire? Inspired by a lot of staring at the wall and listening to La Dispute on repeat.]
And then what? said the voice of despair in the back of his head. He did not entertain it. Instead, he flipped over magazines the realtor had fanned out on the secretary desk. Better Homes and Gardens, Southern Living, the kind of domestic crap you saw in the aisles of the grocery store, written for bored suburban housewives or homeowner hopefuls romanticizing the rest of their lives. There was an irony that a romantic, idealized future would invade the home of Betsy Hagopian so soon after her death. Life is an invasive species. One of the great tragedies of the world is how easy it is to disappear.
And then what? said the voice of reason. Do something about it.

Summary
Another day, another city, another case. A case that, in anyone else's hands, would have been immediately accepted as reported: A series of bizarre, brutal, and unfortunate animal attacks. Open-and-shut, no-frills or dressings.
Which is, of course, exactly why Dana Scully found herself in the town of Meeker, Colorado, raising a skeptical brow at Mulder's insistence that the reported deaths were not only actually murders, but victims of a possible serial killer.
A werewolf serial killer.

Summary
Five weeks ago, Mulder was brutally dumped by Diana. He’s hurt, humiliated, and determined to stay as far away possible from anything remotely resembling the X-Files. But, he's handed a case. It's a diplomatic request from Sweden asking the FBI to review a cold case profile. It turns out to be the 1986 assassination of the Swedish Prime Minister and Mulder, being the BSU's golden boy, is supposed to just look at the profile, comment on it, and move on. He doesn’t move on. And while he's busy not moving on, his past hunts him down.

Summary
"Scully, I don’t think you should leap to wild conclusions based on such specious evidence," he says distractedly, as he fiddles with the knob of the television set. He says this with a complete absence of irony and self-awareness.
Scully stares at him. Dispassionately, she contemplates murdering him. She could do it and make it look like an accident. She’s a forensic pathologist. She’d know exactly how to cover her tracks.
-----
Wherein Mulder and Scully investigate a set of strange murders that take place in a small town, but mostly just bicker like an old married couple and also have unresolved sexual tension. So, y'know, just a day that ends in 'Y' for these two.Bookmarked by sidespace

While navigating the complexities of a changing relationship, Scully and Mulder work to uncover a long-buried evil and hope to solve a cold case that has haunted Scully for years.
