Summary
A few years after leaving the FBI to raise their son, Scully and Mulder have settled into a happy if imperfect life together. Scully works for the CDC and her team is called in to investigate a series of mysterious deaths of young children in the northern New Mexican town of Nueva Atocha. Scully doubts the epidemic angle the team is set on, and asks Mulder to join them, who starts to suspect a supernatural cause. While investigating, Mulder and Scully need to confront their own anxieties around cultural assimilation and parenthood, as well as their repressed grief over the loss of Scully’s first child, Emily.
TW: death and murder of children, chronic and terminal illness, themes of suffocation (e.g. drowning, respiratory illness, obstruction of airways, smoke inhalation and asthma attacks), discussion of historical ethnic cleansing, mental illness, light alcohol abuse, sexism, suicide, and a major character’s near suicide attempt

Summary
It always bothered me that Mulder had a degree in psychology but only seemed to use it on other people. Also I know it was the 90s, but everybody in this show needed a minimum 400 years of therapy. And yes, there's eventually sex.

Summary
While investigating a young woman's claim of alien abduction, Mulder and Scully are led on a cross-country chase of intrigue and murder. As they search for answers, Scully's own abduction memories resurface.
Mulder, I can no longer tolerate this thing between us, despite my trust in your honorable motives. I can not allow my past to remain an incomplete picture. Regardless of my fear, I believe I'm strong enough to hear the truth -- especially if you are nearby to lend me your strength should I need it. I do not blame you for your long silence. I'm certain you would have answered my questions if I had only asked. You know me so well. You have understood that, until now, I was unprepared to hear your words. But today, at last, I am ready and must ask: What evidence did you find? What happened to me so many years ago when I was taken from you and from myself? What is it that you know?

Summary
One moment she was sitting in the chair. Her chin up, her expression ice. And the next moment she was gone.
No one had to tell Mulder something had gone wrong. No one had to tell him the difference between having Scully and lacking Scully. In that distinction he was expert.

Summary
Scully ordered grits instead of home fries but they brought her home fries and Mulder traded her his buttered toast, silently, without looking up across the table. Last month he’d broken his finger such that she had had to break it again, differently, but better.
“You know,” he said, “even Pythagoras believed in werewolves. Transmigration, Scully. Transmigration and triangles.”
Scully munched delicately on the c-squared side of his toast. She said, “I prefer the triangles.”
Another Tuesday. Teamwork and communication.

Summary
"I’m eight months pregnant, Mulder. I’m awake even when I’m sleeping.” And sick with craving, her fridge too full to offer satiety.
The familiar jingle of his keys. That sound that used to mean he was coming to save her, coming to bring her take-out and reckonings and really late library books he’d stolen off her shelves. That all she had to do was wait. Scully tried not to be too hungry. She tried not to want anything at all.
Mulder said, “Then get your shoes on, Lady Macbeth.” Mulder gave in to poetry. Mulder said, “For I intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee.”

Four!
Three!
Two!
One!”
For a split-second there’s only the sharp pressure on his throat, his voice screaming Mike’s name, and the swooping sick feeling of being flung from a cliff far higher than the one Mike is going to leap from.Then Mike disappears with a yelp, and there’s nothing at all.
El comes too late, and Dustin watches as Mike dies that day in the quarry,. Rumours spread, lies abound, and grief rends the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Summary
"A paladin who has broken a vow typically seeks absolution from a cleric who shares his or her faith or from another paladin of the same order. The paladin might spend an all-night vigil in prayer as a sign of penitence, or undertake a fast or similar act of self-denial. After a rite of confession and forgiveness, the paladin starts fresh."
or, a few hours after delivering his father’s eulogy, Mike Wheeler punched his former best friend squarely in the face.
