Summary
When Mulder and Scully are called to look into a baffling death in a small, isolated town, they expect a routine X-File (if there's any such thing). But as they dig deeper, the familiar quickly turns strange. Odd details at the crime scene hint at something unnatural, and as they follow a trail of clues, the world around them begins to shift in unsettling ways. Are they falling victim to lost time, slipping between parallel dimensions, or has something far more sinister — like the whispers of dark fairies from old folklore — taken root? As reality unravels, they must question everything they know if they have any hope of solving the mystery — and making it out alive.

Summary
Mulder books them into a supposedly haunted B&B for a quiet weekend “investigation.” Scully thinks it’s just his latest excuse to avoid paperwork. But the innkeepers—an elderly, bickering married couple—insist the place is mildly haunted. Not dangerous. Just… inconveniently haunted.

Summary
Late season 6, Scully comes to a sudden realization about Mulder's feelings for her while in the middle of a Bureau policy meeting. Part of my 'The Work of an Instant' series.
"It will never get old. Scully will never get over this: the feeling of walking down the hall together, of being in sync with one another, of walking into the fire together. Even when the fire is utterly mundane, an internal policy review meeting on the second floor of the Hoover Building. She listens to the click of their shoes on the floor and feels Mulder’s hand on her lower back as they approach the doors at the back of the auditorium and feels—as she often does beside him—that she is exactly where she is meant to be."

Or where Scully drinks too much and Melissa calls Mulder to make sure she gets home okay. Could take place any time in the show, but I imagined it around season 5 in an AU where Melissa lives.

Summary
She kept a catalog. All the times that Mulder had made her feel like maybe he did love her, and all the times he made her feel like he definitely didn’t. When he’d pulled her into his arms on his couch and fallen asleep holding her, yes love. When he’d let Langly take her to their senior prom and taken someone else instead, just friends. When he’d carried her nearly a mile after she’d twisted her ankle on a hike, yes love. When he’d kept her at arms length in his car even as they shared the same drink, just friends.
Scully wrestles with whether or not to confess to Mulder and totally misses the hints he drops.
