Summary
Mulder accidentally sees Scully in the arms of a mystery woman and flounders trying to work out what it means. Pining for his partner, memories of a secret past lover of his own resurface.
A bi4bi MSR fic, lots of yearning, misunderstanding, silly and serious queer references, flustered Mulder. There is a case but it’s very much in the background.

Summary
Over six years, 42 Hegel Place had changed. Mulder’s bachelor pad had been rearranged, reflecting his mercurial moods. Since his brain had been lobbed into by their enemies, Scully was spending more time there than ever; influencing its arrangement. It is where they both retreated at the end of a long week.
Their Friday movie-routine, however, becomes disrupted when Mulder starts “accidentally” leaving his adult films in the VHS player for Scully to find.
Was he trying to shock her, inspire interest, or tell her about himself?

Summary
Deep down, Mulder knew that if they were entangled even more tightly, he’d eventually become more irritated than aroused by her voice. He’d hear it in reference to uneaten vegetables and unopened mail and unfolded laundry. That holy righteous rage of hers, that unquenchable fire that roared at him to be better and do better and live better, would illuminate not just his career but the entirety of his being. And he doubted he could live up to that scrutiny. After almost almost getting her killed any number of times, somehow Mulder knew that asking her to forgive more mundane betrayals would be the final straw. Abduction? Possession? Cannibalism? All in a day’s work. Leaving sunflower shells everywhere? That was a bridge too far. It was better, safer, sweeter, kinder to love each other the way they did. To keep some mystery alive, and with it her steadfast belief in him. Delaying consummation was delaying his inevitable disappointment of her.

Summary
Scully could hear the echoes of her high school physics teacher in her head: An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an external force. She could relate. Her life was moving in an endless circular orbit around Mulder, made so much worse by the loss of the X-Files and the presence of Diana. Something needed to change, and she knew that it had to be her.

Summary
She swallows hard, glassy eyed and deeply, impossibly sad.
Frohike’s look of exasperation morphs into one of anger. “He’s being a dick, Scully. Have you told him that?”
She surprises even herself with the bark of laughter that escapes her. “I don’t think he’d take kindly to that. Especially not now.”
“Scully, I- I don’t understand…I don’t get it.”
She lets out a rueful little laugh, voice thick as she whispers, “Me either.”
_____
A canon divergent take on the Gunmen's involvement in the Diana-arc, in which they're leading the charge for Team Trust-No-One and revealing a lot more about that whole "collecting data on female abductees" piece that somehow got brushed under the rug.

This is my take on the classic X-Files trope "Mulder pushes Scully away because he thinks he is protecting her." Expect angst, danger, violence, and love. Always love.
