Why this must be read: Revely's already been recced here twice before, but I just couldn't think of leaving this fic out. It's just beautifully written and characterized, so very evocative--it makes me hurt, but in a good way.
This veers off into AU before Per Manum, so This Is Not Happening and DeadAlive haven't happened. Mulder wakes up in an Oregon hospital a year after he was taken; Scully brings their infant son Will with her to Bellefleur, and the three of them drive back home, getting used to each other and this new reality they're immersed in. It's both gorgeous and heartbreaking, the way Mulder and Scully dance around each other, still very certain of some things, but very uncertain of others. As they get closer to home, they get closer to each other, and finally start healing.
"So you performed the autopsy, and you concluded that this guy actually _crawled_ into these people?"
She leans against her door, resting her chin on the hood of the car, and closes her eyes. He is about to make her a very happy woman. She has to prop herself up to keep from falling down in anticipation.
"Mmmhmmm," she says, noncommittally.
"Gives new meaning to the term 'anal retentive', doesn't it?" he asks, straightening up.
Scully throws back her head and laughs, something she hasn't done in so long that it actually hurts. She can't stop the tears that burn her vision, and she doesn't try, she just lets herself laugh and cry while Mulder levels his gaze at her.
"What?"
She shakes her head and smiles at him under the watching face of the moon.
"Oh God, Mulder," she says, wiping her eyes, "I can't tell you how long I've been waiting to hear you make that joke."
