Summary
This is a series of four vignettes. There are many references to canon but they are all technically AUs: Three ways they didn't meet and one way they didn't end. The thesis for the whole story and where the title comes from is this line from the fourth chapter: "...No matter their fate in each final act, they will remain each the other's half, the same set of letters forming different words. The sum of their experience, each road not taken is an anagram, an alternate trajectory, a different interpretation of the same destiny."

Summary
If someone wrote "Time Travel for Dummies," the guidebook should include a chapter titled “Love as a Form of Self-flagellation.” Or “She’s Your Touchstone, You’re a Stranger.” Mulder’s ancient files documented time travel, parallel universes, multiverses, and wormholes. Back in the day, he’d been a regular G-man with a hot partner, a hazy job description, and a plan to thwart an alien invasion. Then the world ended. Scully vanished. And none of his X-files offered any guidance on romance in a time of pleated pants and shoulder pads.

Summary
One moment she was sitting in the chair. Her chin up, her expression ice. And the next moment she was gone.
No one had to tell Mulder something had gone wrong. No one had to tell him the difference between having Scully and lacking Scully. In that distinction he was expert.

Summary
There was something about sitting in the dark with someone, in the cab of a sedan at night. Two beings, side by side, collected together in shadow. Dim light cast from a half-moon or a distant streetlamp scarcely catching silhouettes, car parked determinedly out of sight, engine cold. There was something anonymous about it. Clandestine. As if time, and usual protective walls, ceased to exist.
Follow Mulder and Scully, as their relationship unfolds then folds back in on itself, as they sit together - over many seasons of stakeouts.
What can happen in the dark?
Written for the 2021 X-Files SMUT exchange. Yes, it's that kind of story, so buckle up.
