What a great season 8 story. I personally don't like anything after season 7 (fanfic or actual show) but this was really great. Mostly because I like it when writers write Mulder like he is... kind of an asshole. In most msr he is sweet and always thinking of Scully and pining for her, but we know that ain't really Mulder. Mulder acts like an jerk on regular occasion, and he is not easy to love. That's not to say he doesn't love Scully, but he's defiantly not some over the top romantic that we sometimes wish he was.
"The Laws of Coming and Going" addresses Mulder's coming back to the world and trying to find his place. It's easy to mistake his actions for bitterness and indifference, but when we really look at what he does we find that he is trying to adjust to his new life.
I still don't like anything after Requiem. I don't know if others feel this way, but I wish they would have ended the series there.
