"Couples Retreat"

What's a little therapy, a shared bed, and intimacy exercises between platonic partners?

Complete Fic, Chapters posted at least daily. Beta: @agent-troi

“Meeting with Skinner in five, Scully,” she heard him yell from the front of their office.

She was in the annex, looking at evidence under a microscope, and had completely lost track of time. She was grateful for the reminder. Skinner told them in passing earlier that he needed to discuss a policy change and a new case with them.

The policy discussion had her on edge. The new case had Mulder filled with glee.

“Maybe it’s the Yeti, Scully.” He teased.

“In your dreams, Mulder.” She replied, exasperated.

“As long as we can work it together.” He said. He’d been extra protective of her since their last case; she almost lost her life when a novelist had turned stalker, and Mulder had hardly let her out of his sight since.

She appreciated his concern and, honestly, she enjoyed his increased attention. Still, she didn’t know what to make of it, realizing it was probably temporary.

They made their way to Skinner’s office, Arlene waving them in.

“Agents.” He gestured to the chairs across from his desk. “Thank you for coming. I have a new case for you and a policy update that aligns with some specifics of the case.”

“Okay,” Mulder asked.

“It’s undercover as a married couple again. You two did well enough in Arcadia—the bosses thought of you for this case. A couple’s therapist, Rebecca Stratton, is counseling wealthy clients and is suspected of blackmailing them with their relationship secrets.”

“So, we are going to become new clients?” Scully asked.

“Yes, she’s hosting a retreat in upstate New York this weekend. You will attend the event as a couple and try to determine who is involved and how she is getting clients to share such intimate information.”

“With all due respect, sir, this is not an X-File. I’m surprised this is even an FBI case,” Mulder said skeptically.

“Let’s just say,” Skinner whispered, “a certain individual with an office inside the Capitol Building is being blackmailed and has called in some favors, Agents.”

Mulder pursed his lips and nodded.

Scully’s mind drifted, thinking of playing a married couple again. In Arcadia, she wanted to lean into the experience and enjoy some time alone with Mulder—the man she considered her favorite person on most days—but Diana had returned and created a fission of distrust that resulted in both of them spending the days caged and grouchy, despite solving the case. Maybe this time will be different? She thought.

“Are you okay?” Mulder leaned over and whispered to her.

She broke out of her daze. “Yes. Sorry. I was just thinking.” She turned her attention from Mulder to Skinner, “You said a policy change is involved here?”

“Yes,” Skinner said. He shuffled some papers on his desk until he seemed to find what he was looking for. “The F.B.I. policy prohibiting fraternization has changed.”

“Sir?” Scully asked. She looked at Mulder, and he had a confused look on his face.

“Well. I know you two have worked very hard to be discreet about your, uh…personal, romantic relationship. You had to pretend to be married for the Arcadia case but also pretend to be platonic; I’m sure that was tricky.”

Scully was thoroughly confused about where this was going but unable to interject, temporarily losing the ability to formulate words. 

Skinner continued, “The new policy is Disclosure. Partnered agents can be in relationships or married as long as they sign a disclosure form.” 

He held up two papers in his hands, “Basically, you swear to do everything in your power not to let the relationship compromise your work. The change was made as F.B.I. HR feels it is better to have an awareness of these relationships, rather than encouraging people to hide….”

He was rambling.

Mulder interrupted. “Sir, we aren’t in a relationship.”

“See, that’s the thing Agent Mulder; you don’t have to pretend anymore.”

“We aren’t pretending, sir. We aren’t in a relationship.” He said.

Scully was frozen. Their boss was convinced they were having sex, maybe in love. Holy shit, she thought.

She looked to Skinner, who was looking at Mulder with an astonished look on his face.

“Agents, I apologize if I misunderstood, but…you have keys to each other’s apartments, you seem to be able to communicate in some secret language, and you have a secret handshake. Mulder—Agent Fowley came back—and you didn’t seem interested in her, despite your past.”

Scully was shaking her head and realized Mulder was doing the same.

“SEE THAT! You mirror each other. And you are at each other’s apartments all the time.”

Two partnered heads continued to shake vigorously.

“Fine, you aren’t in a relationship currently, but you are going to sit there and tell me nothing has ever happened with you two?”

The hallway—Mulder—a bee. Scully thought. But technically, nothing happened then, and certainly, nothing has happened since.

“No, sir. We are partners.” Mulder said.

“We are just close, sir,” Scully added.

“Could have fooled me,” he said, shaking his head. “Well, I thought this would help alleviate any burden of the undercover assignment…but I guess it’s a moot point. Are you two willing to take the assignment?”

“Yeah,” Mulder said. 

“Yep,” she added at the same time.

“You will need to think of some salacious details of your—well, what apparently is a non-existent relationship—to share with her, to pique her interest in you.”

Scully could feel her face fill with heat and blush. Oh my god, she thought. She wanted to disappear into the chair.

“We’ll take care of it, Sir,” Mulder said.

“Okay, good. Flight tomorrow morning. Here is your cover information. Dress is casual classy; go home and pack.”

Mulder nodded, and Scully followed him out of the office.

She could tell he wanted to talk about all that had just happened in Skinner’s office, the fact that he believed they were in some kind of intimate relationship, and that they needed to create ‘salacious’ details for their cover. But Scully felt like she couldn’t breathe. She saw Diana walking towards them in the distance, and for once, she was glad to push her partner towards his ex.

“Fox!” Diana said.

“Mulder, I have to go take care of some things. I’ll see you at the airport tomorrow.”

“Scully…but…”

She was gone, leaving Mulder and Diana in her dust.

It never fails to amuse me that Scully— a woman clinically unable to conceive a child and fails IVF — finally has like what ONE summer of sex after years of not having it… and boom she gets pregnant naturally like that.

The syndicate are all in awe over this medical anomaly that is Scully when it’s Mulder who’s got some Michael Phelps bionic swimmers. Homeboy even got her pregnant a SECOND time in her 50s…

Like I need Secret Season of Sex as canon bc it looks so stupid making it a key point that she can’t have kids for how many seasons, just for it to fly out the window with a cute lil romp in Mulder’s bed.

"Agent Scully is already in love"

"She's trying to get his attention but doesn't know it"

*pretends to be shocked* but also who pointed the gun to chris carter's head that he boldly decided to announce like this

[mulders-too-large-shirt]

s1 episode 12 thoughts

another episode that had me. STRESSED. OUT.

first of all... the episode being about an irish guy who sets the british aristocracy on fire... the insensitivity there is fascinating. the 90's really were a time, huh?

second of all this phoebe is very pretty and very bold to kiss mulder right in front of scully. i was shocked. and it kept getting more and more shocking! (shoutout to scully for averting her gaze when they kissed. a respectful coworker!)

and the whispered "she hates me" from phoebe and tiny waves goodbye while otherwise entirely ignoring scully's presence... yeah this is sick psychological torment

! MULDER LORE REVEAL ! he's terrified of fire! and this ex wants to get him involved on an arson case! what could go wrong? (seriously though why does he want to do this. why wasn't there another person who could take this case. i'm seeing no appeal to getting involved)

AND he leaves scully to go attend to this nonsense. betrayal.

! FURTHER MULDER LORE REVEAL ! the two broke up because she cheated on him which is revealed in the same breath as the fact that they hooked up on arthur conan doyle's grave. i will be doing my best to not psychoanalyze that and then failing. how can i look him in the eye with this knowledge.

(i think they're going for a sherlock-irene parallel here but counterpoint: i don't like it)

<3 <3 <3 scully in glasses... think my heart skipped a beat <3 <3 <3

this whole thing was soooo sick and twisted. when phoebe said "i've booked a hotel for the night" (cut to mulder in deep distress) that was evil

(also scully calling and saying she had something important and he completely blew her off... only for her to show up anyway... queen shit she literally said idgaf i'll solve ur case for you dumbass)

i'd actually like to copy out what i wrote in my notes verbatim for this next part:

"Mulder in a suit Phoebe in a backless dress. Tension is palpable oh they're dancing. SCULLY WALKED IN ON YHAT WJAT THEBHELL OH THEYREKISSING WHAT THE HELL OH SHW'S ROLLING HER EYESAT THIS OH SHE JUMPED IN"

i think that speaks for itself

but in case it DOESN'T: scully pacing outside watching them dance and kiss was distressing to me. i will reblog many gifs of this when i find them eventually. free her from this situation y'all she did NOT deserve it. luckily a fire provided an excuse to make her presence known.

when mulder was scared to go into the fire and then he passed out and then he pushed scully's hand away while she was shifting into Doctor Mode... nearly screamed. he resists the tenderness offered to him.

and then cutscene to him waking up in bed shirtless and she's there offering him water! phoebe brings him into this fire- his worst fear- and the symbolism of scully bringing him WATER!

and YET the first thing he does is: ASK FOR PHOEBE! MULDER I CANNOT KEEP MAKING EXCUSES FOR YOU (phoebe once again entirely ignores scully beyond a quick goodbye the commitment to pettiness is remarkable)

then he shows up to save the family from being lit on fire and phoebe is kissing the dad. muldershockedpikachuface.jpg (was anyone surprised. raise ur hand if u saw this coming)

but he jumped into the fire to go save the children!!! because he needs to be a hero and conquer his fears!!

i think scully had a very raw end of the deal this episode and when she knocked on his door pretending to be phoebe and asked in a british accent if he was going to buy her lunch. well. she had a good spirit about the whole thing. it's important for her to be mean to him sometimes.

during this episode i fell victim to exactly what i knew the screenwriters were doing, purposefully provoking anger in the viewer through an outrageous ex that also served as character exposition in revealing mulder's background. but once again this episode proves that dana scully deserves the world for putting up with this nonsense and somehow still choosing to have a positive attitude. give her a raise and a vacation.

a brief summary of the x files

season 1-6: There is definitely something going on between Mulder and Scully but... will they 👉👈? won't they? who knows... season 7: their first kiss 💖 it's all strictly platonic though, don't worry season 8-9: these two are SUCH good friends🤗 they have a baby together :) platonically, of course *bts celibacy.gif* season 10: something definitely happened but it's long gone😞 season 11: yeah these two 50 year olds FUCK all the time lol

[carefulfears]

thinking of ed jerse and eddie van blundht and philip padgett and the indignity of desire. phoebe greene and diana fowley, kristen kihlar, self-flagellation as addictive and reverent. the ouroboros of mulder not allowing himself any indulgence and therefore denying scully being chosen: punished for her sin of just adoring him. "[diana] protects everything but you." (and he needs it that way.)

[saltlickmp3]

okay. my thoughts on whether or not mulder & scully have sex & how the think about it under the cut

okay so. they probably canonically fuck at somepoint cos im pretty sure they have a kid at the end of s8 SOMEHOW which yknow generally comes after sex but anyways. if we put this aside for a moment from where im up to (halfway through s5) my thoughst are :

mulder obviously is the guy who watches porn on fbi time & scully knows about it & they joke about it a bit & yknow theyre adults sex happens to adults so its not like a. they dont ever even get close to the subject situation. mulder is more or less flirting with scully a fair bit of the time (its a [correctly identifes plane off the top of her head] / i just got very turned on') and its not like she discourages it she just sort of laughs a bit or ignores him mostly but theres no sign it makes her uncomfortable & i dont think he would do it if she did because like. theyre friends & he doesnt want to make her uncomfortable yknow.

the exception to this is the ep sygyzy & while obv theyre all being influenced by the alignment of the planets or whatever BUT mulder makes a joke at her expense in front of others implying that a) theyve fucked and b) scully wants him bad & understandably she is horrified ! but also im sure she had a moment there where she wished a little bit that it was true & then immediately chastising herself for it.

i think. that mulder has probably thought about having sex with scully a lot more than she's thought about having sex with him but he's thought about it in a sort of abstracted way with the same detachment as watching pornos in his office when shes not there. but that when scully thinks about it she does wish it were real. & they both feel bad about it afterwards for thinking of each other like that. & mulders response to anything is to joke about it so he jokes about finding things that scully does hot (maybe to diffuse that he actually does, if he jokes about it then he wont accidentally let something vulnerable slip) but scullys is to try not to think about it so. yeah.

[mezzo-morte]

So I created Mulder and Scully in the sims made them have a son because fuck chris carter

Fast forward and I had the daughter of my sim (she died, rip) romance William since they had "amazing compatibility" and "opposites attract".

This is crazy she just went to the hospital and had triplets😭

[lesbianmarrow]

you think i'm done talking about this episode no i'm not done. so unfair that mulder has had sex two (2) times on this show and scully hasn't had sex at all yet. manifesting scully getting laid in season 4

[devious-little-milkmaiden]

Never forget that the X-Files had the tits to queerbait its audience with straight people

Completed Fic:

"What happens on Ka'ula🌴"

I just realized that my post about this fic being completed got stuck in drafts and I know a few people on here wanted to read it when it was done! Rating: Explicit // Fuck or Die trope- with consent // Thanks to amazing betas- @xfmaweezy, @cecilysass and my science beta @agent-troi.

Here are a few snippets- but the full fic is too long to post here. Read it HERE on AO3.

Chapter 1:

She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and then let him have it--the scientific solution.

“Orgasms.” She felt a sudden jolt in her clit underneath the sweaty sheen of her panties and cargo shorts. “Sex with orgasms, specifically.”

Mulder’s eyes looked as though they were bulging out of his head. Then he closed them and licked his lips, his brow furrowed.

Chapter 3:

She kept her eyes open again, realizing sex with Mulder was worth watching. His eyes were fully dilated and dark. Both of his arms were propping him up off the rock, providing the deep thrusts that she craved and a direct view of his chest, rippling in exercise just above her. Fuck, he’s beautiful, she thought.

Chapter 7:

Scully knew the doctors would be fairly discreet about what she and Mulder had done—what they had to do. But she knew it would need to go in their reports to explain the changes in levels, and that meant Skinner would eventually see it. The thought made her feel sick to her stomach, but also, she knew she wouldn’t change a thing. It was the best sex of her life, and with someone she trusted completely.

Chapter 12:

He grunted. “I want you now. Please, Scully. I think I’ve become addicted to you.”

“Your blood work sort of suggests that,” she said with a wink. She stood and grabbed his hand, pulling him towards the couch. She kissed him again while unbuckling his jeans. He simultaneously ran his hands under her blouse and pulled it over her head. He freed her breasts and took one immediately in his mouth, flicking her nipple.

[twogravesinsomecemetery]

when mulder and scully first realised that they could show each other their many years' worth of love and appreciation through physical affection it must have been an insane moment like,,, what even happened ???? did he kiss her once and then give her 2965184 more kisses cause he'd been holding everything in for seven years ??? did she hug him for 4 and a half hours straight just to make up for lost time ???

i need ANSWERS

[guitarnacle]

“ The truth I’ve been searching for…that truth is in you. “

[gregmarriage]

the entire scene where eddie! mulder attempts to seduce scully, and they almost kiss (and scully is definitely into it), until the real mulder walks in, makes me feel like i’m having a stroke
