Summary
In this canon-divergent reimagining of Season 8, Mulder’s return marks the beginning of a painful and complex reckoning.
The world he knew has changed—his work has moved on without him, and Scully, now seven months pregnant, stands before him both familiar and achingly distant. Haunted by PTSD and unable to process the trauma of his abduction, Mulder retreats inward, struggling to find his place in a life that no longer feels like his own.
For Scully, his return is a miracle shadowed by heartbreak. She is overjoyed he's alive, but his emotional distance deepens the loneliness she endured during his disappearance. As both grapple with grief, change, and unspoken fears, they must learn to navigate this new chapter together—where patience, healing, and love will be their only way back to each other.
Note: This reimagining of Season 8, offers an alternative path in which Mulder’s emotional distance is explored with greater nuance—granting him the space to confront his trauma and better understand the weight of his experiences. At the same time, it allows Scully to articulate her own heartache and find validation in the profound grief she endured during his abduction, presumed death, and eventual return.

Summary
Mulder and Scully try being friends-with-benefits. Diana Fowley is here to ruin it all.
UPDATE: JULY 2, 2025
**This is obviously still a WIP. Right now, I don't currently have plans to finish this fic (July 2025) but my reasoning is hopefully understandable: I had a baby in January, and he has been suffering from a very serious life-threatening disease. My mind is just . . . elsewhere these days. Thank you for understanding.
