Summary
**A long‑haul experiment:** pushing Mulder to the absolute edge of jealousy and despair. Think of it as a full‑on stress test for his nervous system — can he handle the pressure, or will he snap?
Equal parts angst and laugh‑out‑loud humor — because what’s life without a little comic relief, amirite?
The story unfolds in first person, but with a twist: you get both perspectives — Mulder’s *and* Scully’s. Two sides of the same crazy coin.
**P.S. for fellow anxiety‑prone folks (like me!):**
This is *not* a Scully‑with‑someone‑else story. She’s loyal — like, nun‑level loyal. He just hasn’t figured that out yet. 🤣 And oh, how we savor his blissful ignorance!Bookmarked by ultimatexffan

Summary
When Scully asked Mulder to help out with the IVF, she didn’t really take into consideration that everyone they knew – friends, family and enemies – would be bound to find out about it.
Set during S6, in a world where M/S kept the X-Files and Fowley has been working in some other division with Spender. And Pendrell hasn’t died. Basically, this is satisfactorily canon-divergent.

Summary
She makes the impulsive decision to stop into the little hole-in-the-wall bar a few blocks from her apartment. She has the idea she might sit by herself, alone with her thoughts, and have two fingers of bourbon, neat. Her father's drink.
Scully's grief. Mulder's duty to his new partner. Impulsive, life-changing season 1 decisions.
