Summary
"I didn't want to cause a scene." Her face registered a sombre and impatient annoyance. She scuffed the corridor floor with the heel of her shoe. Personally, she was plenty ready for a pint and a miserable evening alone, but the Doctor had not been trained up in the human tendency to consider alcohol and regret natural bedfellows and she felt getting drunk might reinforce his impression of her callousness. "I can't do this anymore, Doctor."

Liz Shaw hates goodbyes almost as much as the Doctor.

Summary
"We did it," murmured Esther.
As though to emphasize her point, the Iblis computer system winked off without fanfare. The lighted panel on the console grew dark, the plexiglass and polycarbonate interface becoming as much a dusty relic as everything else in the bowels of the tomb: knowledge scrawled in dead languages and hidden away for the catalogue of generations hence. Something for future treasure seekers to muse and mumble over...
She felt breath at her ear, lips against the top of her hair, and Esther nearly leapt out of her skin in surprise.
"Yes... yes, it would appear so, Miss Esther..."

Summary
"Yours are the words of a whipped dog, Sister Paula!" insists the silver-haired Enforcement Officer. There is anger in his voice, desperate anger, and an adamantine conviction. "A mongrel trained to snarl at every sin!"
Winter to summer, the seasons turn.
Plucked from the blackened ashes of a burning city, a girl is drowned in the waters of baptism, and a stranger emerges in her place.
In springtime, children are trained to pray, to plea forgiveness, and to kill.
During the stifling heat of summer, a boy shares a smile, and an unbreakable bond is forged.
When golden autumn falls, fate comes full circle in a distant Sodom.
And finally, after many years, a small winter of grace: past cruelties forgiven, a debt paid, and a destiny entwined.
Four seasons. Two decades. One story.
The Lady of Death, from the beginning...

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
“Sorry.” He straightened, and let his arms fall. “I got caught up. But you should know, I’d never ask you to compromise yourself, or your professionalism, or to do anything you didn’t want to-”
“But what if I did want to?”
Mulder looked down. It felt like being on the top of a very tall building. “Um…I’m sorry?”
Scully balanced her chin on his chest. “What if I wanted to?”

A non-sequential series of possible firsts.

Summary
The doctor said I was fine.
I hope that’s the truth, he’d said. He mouths those five words right now silently to himself. I hope that’s the truth.
Right after Elegy, Mulder receives a visitor.

Summary
This is what she always thinks of when they are at the gunmen’s: Where the Wild Things Are, an off-brand frat house, a basement lab, Robinson Crusoe, electrical fires, a high school AV club. Outerspace. Jail time for marijuana possession.
