Rating: Teen and up

Wandering along the Federation-Cardassian border, an exiled pilot is drawn into a boon he doesn’t want, but accepts for want of options. Having thrown herself into what work she could get, a troubled young engineer finds herself in a new situation.

Leaning up against his bedroom door, she closes her eyes as she lets out a shuddering breath.

Wished and hoped and prayed that they would both come to their senses, and just fall together one night.

Was tonight that night?

My notes:

One of the most plausible and realistic all things fics, in my opinion. Also, holy forking shirtballs is this hot.

Nine little scenes that bring Mulder and Scully closer together from Alpha to all things.

My notes:
