Summary
“It’s true, Dana,” Mrs Mulder said, finally, when Dana remained silent. “You’re coming to live with us for a while. This way, your mother can focus on helping your little brother. And your father can beaver away at his work on the new base. It will be no trouble at all to us. We have plenty of space. You will have your own room, very private, with a lock on the door and everything. It’ll be safer for you. And good for Fox. He needs to be challenged.”
Dana had no disagreements with Mrs Mulder on that score, but she rather doubted the long-term effectiveness of the strategy being proposed. Again, she glanced around the room. “But, Mrs Mulder, your son hates me.”

What if when Charlie got rheumatic fever, the Scully family happened to live on the Vineyard? And also, it were 1943 -- the year a secret Navy base appeared on the Vineyard, and multiple test pilots disappeared?

Summary
Fox Mulder was never supposed to matter.
Before the badge.
Before the files.
Before the silence between them.At university, Dana Scully is everything Fox Mulder pretends not to be: disciplined, devout, driven by hard work rather than privilege. He is charming, infuriating, and impossible to ignore; a baseball-loving golden boy hiding a mind as sharp as hers and wounds far deeper than he lets anyone see. He’s a distraction she doesn’t need.
Drawn together in class, their rivalry turns into something dangerous and tender, built on late nights and unspoken confessions. Then Fox disappears without explanation, leaving Dana with a lesson she never forgets: never let anyone close enough to break you.
Eight years later, she’s a rising forensic expert at Quantico. He’s an FBI agent chasing truths no one else believes. When fate forces them back together on a case, the past resurfaces: raw, unresolved, and impossible to ignore.
Some silences echo longer than others.
And some people never really leave you.- Language:

Summary
“—this has something to do with what happened. With Eddie Van Blundht.”
He stirred, tapped the spoon against the rim of the pot and set it aside. Then turned to her and leaned back against the counter, crossing his long legs and bracing on his palms. “What did happen?”
She sipped from her wine to keep her mouth busy. It didn’t help; his gaze followed the wineglass to her mouth, then trailed down her throat as she swallowed. It was warm in here, no doubt from the stove being on.
“You read my report, Mulder,” she said, calmly. “Are you impugning my thoroughness?”
“Never.” For some reason, his voice was thick. His eyes had moved back to her mouth. Now they rose to meet her steady look—slowly, like he was taking his time, taking in the contours of her face. “But given the nature of the… encounter, I have to assume there were details you didn’t include because you didn’t think they would be appropriate for an official report.”
