Summary
I’ve always felt like most of us really only liked Arcadia because Mulder and Scully got to play ‘house’, but I think there’s a great story in there. So here’s my take. Think of it as a canon-adjacent retelling. I’ve pulled in a little from an early version of the script, particularly the characterisation of the Shroeders, but I wanted to dig into the idea of the HOA being a cult and give Mulder and Scully something to really investigate.
It’s a bit of a case fic but with lots of domestic MSR moments because I was a shipper long before I was a storyteller.
This is a work in progress, but I plan to upload new chapters every few days.
I love feedback so I hope to catch up with you in the comments as we go 💕

Summary
I’m not ready to write the full breakup fic that leads to this moment, but this part of the tale has been rattling around in my head today and I decided to let it out in the form of this little ficlet from Mulder’s POV.
It’s angsty and there will be some comfort, a dash of hope … but no resolution. I’m sorry! I hope you can enjoy it anyway!

Ex Tenebris Lux [Latin]
Out of Darkness, LightListen, I feel the same way a lot of us do about the events of ‘My Struggle IV’ but they happened and so here we are. I couldn’t bear to leave Mulder and Scully in such a dark and depressing place, so I wanted to bring them back into the light.
Enjoy these three little light-themed vignettes as our parents-to-be reflect on the life they have lived and get ready to step into the next chapter of their story.

Summary
Mulder had kneeled in the dirt with a gun at the back of his head. How was he supposed to move on from that? And what was going to happen when he told Scully?
An hour of TV is never long enough to give us everything that a story has to offer, so this is a little post-ep continuation exploring the aftermath of an episode that I think gives us a great opportunity for character development, but leaves it all hanging in the air at the end.
It’s canon-compliant … in a world where Mulder and Scully might actually communicate. So much is left unsaid between these two so I’ve tried to give a window into what they’re thinking. I think it’s pretty true to character, I hope you do too.

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:
