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
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.- Language:

Summary
When Scully faces forced reassignment due to a bureaucratic crackdown on her citizenship status, she somehow ends up in a fake engagement, to Mulder, to keep her position and protect the X-Files. What starts as a transactional arrangement becomes an emotional journey as they confront the truth of what they mean to each other.
Yes, it’s based on The Proposal — because the only thing better than Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock’s chemistry is Fox Mulder and Dana Scully being absolute disasters with heart eyes.

Summary
People were dying after fulfilling their most intimate wishes in a small town. Mulder's and Scully's conclusions, most of the time different, occasionally could lid to a common ground.
(The scenarios and visuals were idealized in the middle of the season 6).

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 ultimatexffan
