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.

Yeah, you are right. Tesla loves Mulder and what? Puts up with Scully, or doesn't, I guess, depending on the fic, which breaks my heart since I love her writing. But I think there is enough push-back here to satisfy my Scullyist tendencies. Yep. This House is Burning is a fanfiction masterpiece.

I do think Scully is a harder character to write well.
