A conversation on William's fifth birthday.
Breathing Room
A post-"Brand X" look at Mulder and Scully from Skinner's point of view.
Close
Scully's thoughts during select scenes of "Sein und Zeit."
The Deep Untangling
""Thus far, Mulder and his son have at least one thing in common: For several months this past year, they both slept like the dead." Companion piece to "This Life is Not Yet Rated," from Scully's point of view.
The Falling Cease
A very short post-"Amor Fati" vignette.
For Blessing
After "Detour" and after "Within/Without" (if you think you're experiencing cognitive dissonance right now: you're right), it all crystallizes in New York City over Yom Kippur and matzoh balls. In short: it's hard to explain.
Go On Rising
What if, instead of asking him to hold on, she had told him to let go?
In the Clearing
Two years after "Requiem," Mulder is returned. From Skinner's point of view. Warning: a character is already dead at the beginning of this story.
Our Darker Purpose
Mulder and Scully and the aftermath of "Grotesque." From Scully's point of view.
A Smaller World
It's 2012 and Mulder and Scully have already saved the world. What else is left to do but go to Disney World -- in a desperate bid to save Mulder's life?
This Life Is Not Yet Rated
"So far, my improbable resurrection from the dead bears an uncomfortable resemblance to a movie trailer: All the critical action is there, but no one is sure how it's going to end." Post-death from Mulder's POV.
Torn and Most Whole
It's Christmas, it's angsty, it's redemptive, and Mulder and Scully are both there. From Scully's point of view.
Torrent
A second look at a first impression.
Wasted Breath
Post "Brand X," what if the tobacco beetles left something behind?
Ways of Leaving the World
""If one day you should behold a miracle, as I have in you, you will learn the truth is not found in science, or on some unseen plane, but by looking into your own heart. And in that moment you will be blessed -- and stricken..." --Dana Scully, "TrustNo1"
With Better Light
Mulder and Scully talk after "The Field Where I Died."
