The Gilded Cage

Summary: After being kidnapped by the Cigarette Smoking Man, Mulder and Scully have to plan their escape. However, a daring course of action is much more complicated with a two week old.

Read on AO3 or check out the first chapter below the break

This is part of an episodic series called A Second Chance. All the episodes are collected, in order, using AO3’s series feature. The concept of the series is to rewrite seasons 8 and 9. It deals with Mulder’s return from the dead, the birth of William, and Mulder and Scully trying to juggle family life with impending doom.

If you don’t want to read the whole thing, but want to read this story, here is what you need to know…

Previously on A Second Chance: After Mulder returned from the dead, he moved in with Scully. (Reentry). Scully, while pregnant, was infected with the black oil and somehow neutralized it (Immunidad). The Cigarette Smoking Man (and a new syndicate) learned of this, and became interested in Scully’s baby. After William was born, Mulder and Scully were determined to keep him safe (Sinister). However, after they learned that not only can William neutralize the black oil if infected, but he was also immune to the Super Soldier virus, Mulder planned to go on the run with William, leaving Scully behind due to the chip in her neck (and therefore her ability to be tracked). However, the Smoking Man got to them first. Mulder and Scully agreed to go with the Cigarette Smoking Man because he promised that he would keep them together and protect them from the alien colonists (who want to kill Mulder, Scully, and William) in exchange for letting him make a vaccine from William’s blood. (In the Space of a Day) When Maggie discovers that her daughter and family are missing, Skinner and the rest of the crew start a search, only to find planted evidence that Mulder and Scully ran, but died in a car accident. Meanwhile, Mulder, Scully, and William leave with the Smoking Man. (Loss)

While I don’t normally suggest that you read the other stories, this one could be considered a three parter with In the Space of a Day and Loss.

I don’t think one would be totally lost if they just read the recap above… but it would probably be better if you read them first.

“Well, should I carry you across the threshold?” 

Scully glanced over at Mulder, who was laden with their luggage. Before them stood a nondescript house, in a row of nondescript houses. 

It reminded Scully of every Navy base she’d ever lived on. 

Ignoring Mulder’s joke, Scully headed for the front door, shifting William to one arm so she could open it. 

Mulder followed, dropping the luggage in the entryway. Scully looked around. Based on the style, she guessed the house was built in the 50s, as the kitchen and living rooms were separate. The entryway had three doors: to the left was a hall leading to the bedrooms. Ahead was the living room. And to the right was the kitchen, which was covered in ugly rose colored tile. The house had clearly seen better days, but it was clean and the furnishings looked new. 

“Hey, look Scully,” Mulder said, peering into the living room, “One of those new flat screen TVs. If they sprang for HBO, then we’ll know we’re really VIPs.”

Scully sighed, and handed William to Mulder. “I have to go to the bathroom.”

The handoff caused William to squawk in displeasure, and Scully heard Mulder trying to sooth him as she disappeared down the hall. She immediately found the bathroom, but before she entered, she glanced through the other two doors. Both were bedrooms, on the small side. One was set up as a nursery, and the other had a single large bed and a dresser. 

Scully returned to the bathroom and sat on the toilet. It too was a small room, the toilet crammed next to the vanity to make room for a shower over tub. 

She was going to miss her large clawfoot tub. 

Her elbows perched on her knees, Scully held her head as she peed. It still stung (she’d had moderate tearing while giving birth), but she lacked the energy to dig out the peri bottle.

After finishing up, she headed for the bedroom and flopped down. She hadn't slept on the plane — the idea of being unconscious with Spender sitting right there had been nauseating. The last time she’d fallen asleep in his presence she’d woken up in a new location and a different set of clothes. She didn’t like to dwell on what that meant, but she sure as hell wasn’t going to make that mistake again.

However, that meant the last time she’d slept had been at the Gunmen’s, about twenty hours ago. And before that she hadn’t slept for more than two hours at a time since William was born. She would just rest a moment, then go help Mulder. 

However, despite her intentions, despite the danger and the worry, Scully was asleep within a minute of her head hitting the pillow. 

***

Mulder hated that he liked this house. 

It was small, but much larger than the apartment they’d all been sharing. They had their own backyard, with a stretch of grass where he could imagine playing catch or maybe kicking around a soccer ball. There was a garage and a driveway where he could put a portable basketball hoop. It was outdated – the kitchen needed a facelift and the paneling in the living room screamed 1965, but it had a nice layout. If he and Scully were house hunting, rather than being kidnapped by a global cabal, he’d try to convince her to put a lowball offer in, so they could use the rest of their money to spruce the place up. 

He swayed with William as he looked out the plate glass window to the backyard. How he wished he was house hunting right now. Instead they were at a military base that reminded him far too much of the one that had been Samantha’s final home. 

“I’m so sorry,” he murmured, kissing his son’s head. “I’m so sorry this is happening to you.” He knew William didn’t know — all he cared about was that Scully was nearby. But Mulder couldn’t help but feel tremendous guilt over this whole situation. His involvement with the X-Files had caused Scully so much pain: her abduction, Melissa’s death, Emily. And now they were being held, because he hadn't fucking looked before he opened the door of the apartment. He’d been so caught up in his sorrow over leaving Scully that he had just assumed it was the Gunmen at the door. He hadn’t looked through the peephole. Maybe if he had, they wouldn’t be here right now.

Mulder heard the toilet flush, and when Scully didn’t reappear, he headed for the back of the house. He found her, laying on top of the covers, passed out. “Oh Scully,” he murmured. Balancing William with one hand, he stretched the blanket at the foot of the bed over her. He’d let her sleep as long as she could. He still had the cooler of frozen breast milk that Scully had prepared when she thought he was leaving with their son. He would thaw some and let her sleep. 

Mulder headed back to the living room and sat on the couch. He clicked on the TV and the channel guide said it was 5:45 PM. Glancing at his watch, Mulder noted that put them in the Pacific time zone. That matched with what Mulder had observed: the flight had taken about six hours and he was pretty sure they’d flown over the Rockies. 

Flipping through the guide, he saw that the A’s were playing on one local channel, while the Mariners were on another. If Mulder remembered his MLB broadcast map correctly, that would put them in Oregon.

Where this had all started, and where it had nearly ended.

They were back in the very plausible state of Oregon.

Refreshing Ideas for a Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation

Introduction:

Embarking on a kitchen and bathroom renovation project is an exciting opportunity to revitalize the heart of your home and create a serene oasis in your bathroom. If you're seeking inspiration and refreshing ideas for your upcoming renovation, look no further. In this article, we will present you with a collection of innovative and creative ideas that will transform your kitchen and bathroom into stylish, functional, and inviting spaces.

Embrace Open Shelving: Open shelving is a popular trend that adds a modern and airy feel to both kitchens and bathrooms. Instead of traditional closed cabinets, consider removing some cabinet doors and showcasing your favorite dishes, glassware, or decorative items on open shelves. This not only creates an open and inviting atmosphere but also provides easy access to frequently used items. Play with different materials, such as reclaimed wood or sleek metal, to match your desired aesthetic.

Incorporate Statement Lighting: Upgrade your kitchen and bathroom lighting to make a bold statement. Pendant lights above the kitchen island can serve as striking focal points while providing ample illumination for meal preparation. In the bathroom, consider installing a glamorous chandelier or a sleek, contemporary light fixture above the vanity to create a luxurious ambiance. Thoughtfully chosen lighting fixtures can instantly elevate the style and mood of these spaces.

Add a Pop of Color: Inject a burst of color into your kitchen and bathroom to liven up the overall design. Consider painting an accent wall in a vibrant hue or introducing colorful tiles as a backsplash in the kitchen or shower area in the bathroom. You can also incorporate colorful accessories such as towels, rugs, or artwork to infuse energy and personality into the space. Don't be afraid to experiment with bold and unique color combinations that reflect your personal style.

Integrate Smart Technology: Embrace the convenience and efficiency of smart technology in your kitchen and bathroom. Install touchless faucets that promote hygiene and water conservation. In the kitchen, invest in smart appliances that allow you to control and monitor cooking processes remotely. In the bathroom, consider installing a smart mirror with built-in lighting and Bluetooth capabilities. These technological additions not only enhance functionality but also give your spaces a contemporary and futuristic touch.

Create a Spa-like Retreat: Transform your bathroom into a tranquil oasis reminiscent of a luxurious spa. Install a freestanding soaking tub for ultimate relaxation and add a rain showerhead or a multi-jet shower system to create a spa-like experience. Incorporate natural materials like stone or wood, and opt for soft, neutral colors to evoke a sense of serenity. Enhance the ambiance with scented candles, plush towels, and calming artwork to complete the serene retreat.

Maximize Storage: In both the kitchen and bathroom, efficient storage solutions are essential for a well-organized and clutter-free space. Consider incorporating clever storage options such as pull-out drawers, built-in organizers, or vertical storage racks. Utilize the space under the sink or opt for wall-mounted shelves to maximize storage potential. By optimizing storage, you can maintain a clean and functional environment in these heavily utilized areas.

Conclusion:

A kitchen and bathroom renovation presents an opportunity to breathe new life into these essential spaces. By embracing ideas such as open shelving, statement lighting, pops of color, smart technology integration, spa-like elements, and maximizing storage, you can create a refreshing and personalized atmosphere that reflects your style and enhances your daily routines. Get inspired, let your creativity soar, and embark on a renovation journey that will transform your kitchen and bathroom into spaces you'll love for years to come.

Create a cohesive and coordinated look.

Add more storage to your bathroom. 

If you want to add more storage to your bathroom, plenty of creative ideas are out there to inspire you. One popular trend is adding floating shelves or cabinets above the toilet, which can provide valuable storage space without too much floor space.

Don’t underestimate the power of lightning.

Lighting is another important consideration when it comes to bathroom remodeling. Task lighting, such as vanity lights, can help provide ample lighting for daily grooming tasks. Additionally, ambient lighting, such as a statement chandelier or recessed lighting, can help create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Add a touch of luxury.

Maximizing Space: Innovative Bathroom Remodeling Ideas for Every Home

Bathroom remodeling is often considered a challenging yet rewarding endeavor. Limited space can pose constraints, but with creativity and strategic planning, even the smallest bathroom can be transformed into a functional and aesthetically pleasing retreat. The key to successful remodeling lies in maximizing every inch of available space while incorporating modern design elements that enhance both utility and style. Whether you are working with a compact guest bathroom or a spacious master bath, there are countless innovative solutions to create an environment that feels larger, more organized, and truly personalized to your needs. From clever storage hacks to optical illusions, these remodeling ideas cater to various preferences and budgets, ensuring every homeowner can achieve their dream bathroom without compromising on space.

Opt for Space-Saving Fixtures

Choosing space-efficient fixtures is an excellent starting point for a bathroom remodel. Wall-mounted sinks and toilets can free up floor space, giving the illusion of a larger room. Corner sinks are another smart option for bathrooms with tight layouts, as they make use of areas that often go unused. Floating vanities not only look sleek but also provide additional room underneath for storage or open shelving. Similarly, sliding shower doors or bi-fold options can save precious space compared to traditional swing doors, allowing for better flow and accessibility. Check out here to know more about bathroom remodeling.

Make Use of Vertical Space

When floor space is at a premium, vertical space becomes invaluable. Installing tall cabinets, open shelving, or ladder racks can provide ample storage for towels, toiletries, and other essentials without crowding the room. Consider built-in niches in shower walls for storing shampoo and soap, keeping these items within reach while eliminating the need for bulky organizers. Using the back of the bathroom door for hanging storage, such as hooks or over-the-door racks, can further maximize space in a subtle yet effective way.

Embrace Light and Neutral Colors

The right color scheme can dramatically impact how spacious a bathroom feels. Opt for light and neutral tones like white, beige, or soft pastels to create an airy and open atmosphere. Reflective surfaces, such as glossy tiles or mirrored finishes, amplify light and make the space appear larger. A cohesive color palette for walls, flooring, and cabinetry helps minimize visual clutter, while strategic use of accent colors can add character without overwhelming the room.

Incorporate Multi-Functional Furniture

Multi-purpose furniture is a game-changer in bathroom remodeling. Look for vanities with built-in storage, such as drawers or shelves, to reduce the need for additional storage units. Ottomans with hidden compartments or benches with shelving underneath can serve dual purposes, offering seating and storage. Folding or extendable mirrors can also provide functionality without consuming extra space. These versatile pieces allow you to streamline your design while meeting multiple needs.

Install Large Mirrors

Mirrors are a classic trick for making any room feel bigger, and bathrooms are no exception. A large, frameless mirror above the sink can reflect light and create the illusion of depth. For even greater impact, consider installing a mirrored wall or incorporating mirrors into cabinetry. Backlit mirrors add a modern touch while providing practical lighting for grooming tasks, further enhancing the sense of spaciousness.

Opt for Minimalist Design

A clutter-free, minimalist approach can make even the smallest bathroom feel more expansive. Choose sleek, streamlined fixtures and accessories that do not overwhelm the space. Wall-mounted towel bars, recessed lighting, and frameless shower enclosures contribute to a clean and modern aesthetic. Keep countertops clear of unnecessary items, and invest in hidden storage solutions to maintain a tidy and organized look.

Use Glass and Transparent Materials

Incorporating glass and transparent materials is an excellent way to open up a bathroom. Glass shower enclosures allow for an uninterrupted line of sight, making the room appear larger. Frosted or textured glass provides privacy while retaining the light-enhancing benefits of clear glass. Transparent shelves or acrylic storage bins are additional options for maintaining functionality without adding visual weight.

Add Strategic Lighting

Proper lighting is crucial in creating an inviting and spacious bathroom. Layered lighting, which combines ambient, task, and accent lighting, can eliminate shadows and brighten the room effectively. Install sconces beside mirrors for even illumination, or use LED strip lights under cabinets for a subtle, modern touch. Skylights or larger windows, if feasible, bring in natural light and further enhance the feeling of openness.

Conclusion

Maximizing space in a bathroom remodel requires a thoughtful balance of creativity, practicality, and design. By incorporating space-saving fixtures, vertical storage solutions, and strategic lighting, you can transform your bathroom into a functional and visually appealing sanctuary. Whether you're working with a compact space or a more generous layout, these innovative ideas can help you achieve a design that feels open, organized, and tailored to your unique needs.

Luxury on a Budget: Small Bathroom Remodel Ideas in Georgetown and Austin, TX

Transforming a small bathroom into a luxurious space may seem challenging, especially when working within a budget. With clever design strategies and cost-effective solutions, homeowners can still create elegant, spa-like retreats without breaking the bank. Here’s how to achieve a high-end look for less through strategic  small bathroom remodel in Georgetown and Austin, TX:

Optimize the Layout

An efficient layout is one of the keys to luxury in a small space. Rethink the placement of fixtures like sinks, toilets, and showers to maximize space. Choose corner sinks or wall-mounted vanities, which save floor space and make the room feel more open. In homes across Georgetown and Austin, many designers are incorporating walk-in showers with frameless glass doors, which lend an airy and modern aesthetic.

Upgrade with Affordable Luxuries

Luxury doesn’t always mean expensive. For example, swapping out a standard shower head for a rainfall or handheld model instantly elevates the experience without a hefty price tag. Similarly, replacing old faucets with brushed nickel or matte black finishes adds sophistication. Look for discounted but stylish fixtures at local home improvement stores or salvage shops in Georgetown and Austin for cost savings.

Incorporate Statement Tiles

Tile can dramatically change the look of a bathroom. Use bold, patterned tiles as an accent wall or in the shower to create a focal point. To stay on budget, limit the use of expensive tiles to small areas and pair them with more affordable, neutral tiles. Austin homeowners, known for their creative flair, often mix textures like subway tiles with geometric designs for a trendy and upscale effect.

Lighting Makes All the Difference

Good lighting can transform any space. Consider layering the bathroom lighting with ambient, task, and accent lighting. Affordable pendant lights or sconces can add a touch of glamour. Homeowners in Austin and Georgetown are increasingly turning to LED mirrors, which provide functionality and a sleek, modern look at an accessible price point.

Create the Illusion of Space

Mirrors are an affordable way to make a small bathroom feel larger. Large, frameless mirrors enhance light and create the illusion of more space. Custom mirrors with built-in LED lighting can add a high-end touch if budget allows. Additionally, using light colors on walls and tiles can open up the space, a technique popular in Georgetown’s classic homes and Austin’s contemporary designs.

Invest in Multifunctional Furniture

Small bathrooms require thoughtful storage solutions. Wall-mounted shelves, ladder racks, or over-the-toilet cabinets are perfect for organizing essentials. Georgetown homeowners often repurpose vintage pieces for added character, while Austin residents lean toward sleek, modern storage with clean lines to maintain a clutter-free aesthetic.

Add Greenery for a Fresh Look

A touch of greenery brings life and luxury to any bathroom. Choose low-maintenance plants like succulents or air plants that thrive in humid environments. In Austin, where nature-inspired interiors are trending, adding small potted plants or hanging greenery can make even the smallest bathrooms feel luxurious and serene.

Elevate with Accessories

Accessories are a cost-effective way to add personality and elegance. Invest in plush towels, decorative soap dispensers, or a chic shower curtain. Use metallic trays to organize toiletries, creating a polished look. Austin and Georgetown homeowners often shop local artisan markets for unique pieces that reflect their style while adding sophistication.

Embrace Minimalism

Luxury often lies in simplicity. Declutter the bathroom and focus on a few high-quality elements. A minimalist approach saves money and makes the space feel more refined. It is better to go for clean lines and a monochromatic palette to achieve an upscale vibe that’s both modern and timeless.

Seek Professional Guidance

While many small bathroom remodels can be DIY-friendly, consulting with a professional can help ensure optimal use of space and resources. Many Georgetown and Austin contractors specialize in affordable luxury, offering insights into sourcing materials and fixtures that fit one’s budget.

Creating a luxurious small bathroom in Georgetown or Austin doesn’t require a limitless budget. One can consider the services of a new home builder in Austin, TX, for the remodel. One can achieve a high-end look that enhances comfort and style by focusing on smart design choices, upgrading fixtures, and incorporating thoughtful details.

Modern Bathroom Renovation Trends for 2025 New Year in Surrey, BC

As the New Year dawns, many homeowners in Surrey, BC, are looking to refresh their living spaces, with bathroom renovations topping the list of home improvement projects. The bathroom is no longer just a functional area; it has transformed into a sanctuary of relaxation and style. For 2025, modern bathroom renovation trends blend cutting-edge technology, sustainable practices, and aesthetic innovation, setting a new standard for luxury and functionality.

Embracing Smart Technology

Smart bathrooms are at the forefront of modern design. Homeowners in Surrey are incorporating features like voice-activated lighting, touchless faucets, and smart mirrors with built-in displays for weather updates or morning routines. Heated floors and smart toilets with customizable settings add a layer of comfort that perfectly suits the chilly winters in BC. These innovations not only enhance convenience but also elevate the overall bathroom experience.

Sustainable Choices for a Greener Future

With sustainability becoming a core focus, 2025 bathroom designs prioritize eco-friendly materials and water-saving fixtures. Low-flow showerheads and dual-flush toilets help conserve water without compromising performance. Recycled and reclaimed materials, such as countertops made from recycled glass or sustainably sourced wood vanities, are popular among environmentally conscious homeowners. Solar-powered water heaters and energy-efficient lighting further align with Surrey’s green initiatives.

Minimalist and Clean Aesthetics

Minimalism continues to dominate bathroom design, with clean lines, neutral tones, and uncluttered spaces creating a calming atmosphere. Floating vanities, frameless glass shower enclosures, and built-in storage solutions maintain a sleek and organized look. Monochromatic palettes, accented by natural elements like stone or wood, add a timeless elegance that appeals to diverse tastes.

Spa-Like Retreats

Transforming bathrooms into spa-like retreats is another key trend for 2025. Features like freestanding tubs, rainfall showerheads, and steam showers provide a luxurious escape from daily stress. Aromatherapy diffusers, integrated sound systems, and soft ambient lighting complete the spa experience. Homeowners in Surrey are increasingly investing in these upgrades to create personalized oases within their homes.

Bold and Personalized Touches

While minimalism prevails, bold accents and personalized touches are making waves. Statement tiles with geometric or artistic patterns, gold or matte black fixtures, and textured wall panels offer opportunities to infuse character and individuality into the space. Accent lighting, such as LED strips under vanities or around mirrors, adds depth and drama to the design.

Practical Layouts and Accessibility

Functionality remains a top priority, especially for families and aging homeowners. Walk-in showers, non-slip flooring, and strategically placed grab bars ensure safety without compromising style. Thoughtful layouts that maximize space, including corner sinks or wall-mounted toilets, are ideal for smaller bathrooms commonly found in Surrey’s homes.

Planning Your 2025 Bathroom Renovation

For Surrey homeowners ready to embrace these trends, careful planning is essential. Collaborate with experienced local contractors who understand the unique needs of the area. Establishing a clear budget, sourcing high-quality materials, and considering long-term maintenance will ensure a successful renovation.

As you ring in the New Year, a modern bathroom renovation can not only enhance your home’s value but also improve your quality of life. By incorporating these 2025 trends, you’ll create a space that combines style, comfort, and sustainability - perfect for starting the year fresh.

1. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Materials

As sustainability continues to take center stage in home design, bathroom vanities in 2025 are embracing eco-friendly materials. From recycled wood to bamboo and low-VOC finishes, homeowners are increasingly opting for environmentally conscious choices that reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing quality or style.

2. Minimalist and Streamlined Designs

The trend toward minimalism continues to dominate bathroom designs, and bathroom vanities are no exception. In 2025, the focus is on clean lines, sleek finishes, and functional design.

How to Choose the Perfect Bathroom Vanity for Your 2025 Renovation

Choosing the perfect vanity involves more than just picking a beautiful design. It requires consideration of your space, style, storage needs, and budget. Here are some tips to help you make the right decision:

1. Assess Your Space

The first step in selecting a bathroom vanity is measuring your space. A floating vanity may work well for smaller bathrooms, while a double sink vanity is ideal for larger, shared spaces. Ensure that the vanity you choose fits comfortably in your bathroom without overcrowding the space.

2. Consider Your Storage Needs

Think about the amount of storage you need. If you have a lot of toiletries, makeup, or towels to store, opt for a vanity with multiple drawers and shelves. For smaller bathrooms, consider vanities with built-in organizers and space-saving designs.

3. Select the Right Material

The material of your vanity not only impacts its appearance but also its durability. Wooden vanities add warmth and character, while stone vanities offer luxury and durability. If you’re looking for something more eco-friendly, consider using bamboo or recycled materials.

4. Set a Budget

Bathroom vanities come in a wide price range. Establish your budget beforehand and ensure that you’re getting the best value for your money without compromising on quality. Consider the longevity and maintenance of the material you choose to avoid costly replacements in the future.

Conclusion

In 2025, bathroom vanities are more than just functional items—they’re a statement of style and innovation. From eco-friendly materials and minimalist designs to smart technology integrations and vibrant colors, there’s a vanity trend to suit every bathroom. By considering factors like size, style, storage, and materials, you can find the perfect vanity to suit your needs and enhance your bathroom’s aesthetic appeal.
