Ok Wendy, I think you may have sold me on that timeline then. I didn't necessarily SEE much sexual tension around then, but there was the comment in the Jersy Devil episode where Scully's friend mentions that she (Dana) said Mulder was cute, and there was Mulder acting possessive in the first episode with Tooms (professionally possessive? Is that even a thing? Territorial, whatever). All that bored recuperation time...
Still I think what Syntax6 did with Universal Invariants, placing during LGM, that was perfect. We have some very clear evidence within canon of connection and affection and draw. That clandestine meeting at the bench where Scully declares that if Mulder quit the FBI she would consider it more than a professional loss (plus extra touching and hair ruffling. Don't know about you but I've never ruffled my coworkers hair), the constant reaching out to one another to consult over things (was it me or did they seem particularly flirty in the flukeman episode?), and the obvious actual flirting that came after Mulder was paired with Krychek, particularly during that one phone conversation). And of course, not being partnered would be something of a green light to have a personal relationship...
Ha, apparently Syntax6 sold it to me reeeally well 😅 And yes, that sex scene in UI, omg... Wish I liked the follow up fic as well!
