It's only fair to point out, I think, that Tesla has been known to throw Scully under the bus in deference to King Mulder. As you noted, the gender power imbalance marred Miracle/Mystery, and in Flight egocentric Scully loses out to a lady lawyer. So there is a tendency in Teslafic to regard Mulder with lust-glazed eyes, which is enjoyable exactly to the point where you start to look around for a some push-back.
Just sayin'.
I do believe that This House Is Burning is a fic masterpiece. The power balance is a little shaky, a little vulnerable, but it has been achieved.
