By Falling In and In by Aloysia Virgata (PG-13)
So sorry that I'm this late starting recs!! Real life got in the way :( I'll try to make up for it in the few days we have left.
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Length: long
Author on LJ:

Author Website: Under the Rug
Why this must be read: An entirely satisfying fic starting from DeadAlive and going AU from there. Aloysia does an amazing job balancing serious conversation with witty banter, just like the show. I love the way she deals with the Scully family, especially Charlie and his wife, and the way she writes William. Even though most of the story is about the everyday life of Mulder and Scully, with no particularly special events, I found it enthralling, right up until what I found to be an unexpected but interesting ending.
Frohike dispenses the champagne into the clean mugs, then passes them out. He pours sparkling cider into one for William. "Ahem," he says. "Your attention please. I have now known Mulder for fourteen years. And since that first encounter, I have helped him break into government facilities, flee shadowy agents, hack mainframes, and otherwise stick it to The Man."
"Hear, hear!" intones Mulder, raising his mug.
"Be careful," says Scully. "I am The Man," Then she turns beet red when she realizes that she has handed Mulder a one-liner on a silver platter. "Don't you dare," she warns from beneath her multicolored crown.
"Wouldn't dream of it," Mulder replies, but he is grinning widely.
Maggie feigns cluelessness and continues popping a sheet of bubble wrap.
"Anyway," continues Frohike, clearing his throat dramatically. "In all that time, we never imagined that we'd one day be helping him and Scully move into a tidy Northern Virginia existence. But I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing them well and reminding Scully that there is nothing legally binding about their relationship and she is free to take Will and run as soon as she comes to her senses."
There is laughter and the sound of porcelain clinking. William shouts "Cheers!" with everyone else. Scully takes him back as he finishes the juice. He buries his face in her neck.
Mulder claps Frohike on the shoulder. "That was beautiful. I'm deeply moved."
"She's still tasty, Mulder. More so, actually."
Mulder takes a sip from his mug. "Sixty-four was a very good year for reds."
