Story 162: "Inventing the Mulders" by prufrock's love
Last year, something remarkable happened. Prufrock's love, a beloved but famously reclusive author, started re-posting her fanfic to archive them at Gossamer. Understandably, this caused quite a stir. In the wake of losing so many XF fanfic sites over the past several years, a process accelerated by Yahoo's closure of Geocities, it showed a lot of love for a fandom she had presumably left behind long ago. Well, that's how I choose to interpret it, anyway. She hasn't re-posted everything by any means, but hey, it's a start.
"Inventing the Mulders" is one of the stories she hasn't archived yet, or at least it hasn't shown up on her page at Gossamer. This is a shame since I think it's one of her best. It's an unsentimental look at how season nine might have played out, had it been better written and still had David Duchovny making an occasional appearance. Do I betray my biases? So be it.
Besides archiving her fic, she's posted an email address. You can send feedback now to prufrockslove [at] yahoo [dot] com. Please do so, then come back and let us know what you think.
The story is PG-13, no warnings. Read Inventing the Mulders.

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
Though interesting, sure, it is also very unhappy in an arrested development way that was typical of many episodes, I suppose.
THIS.
