I disagree, if I understand you, that Mulder and Scully were never together in "that way," although they obviously aren't now.
I agree with you here. I'm just not sure when we're supposed to think they got together. Mulder says, I was the platonic friend with good genes. Look but don't touch. You made the rules and I played by them. And then that changed and I got to be a real father. That makes me think it was before William was born, maybe even before he was conceived. I see this fic as being canon compliant to the implication of 'all things' and Per Manum. They tried the IVF, then they had sex, then Requiem happened, and everything after. Though I agree with wendelah1 that in the ITM universe they were never together as a couple in the decidedly exclusive sense.
Though interesting, sure, it is also very unhappy in an arrested development way that was typical of many episodes, I suppose.
