After Scullyβs untimely miscarriage amidst the task force hunt for Mulder, Mulder is returned from his abductionβ implanted with three hybrid embryos, this time much more alien than human. With the two intercepted by Colonist forces before the pregnancy can be terminated, Mulder comes to his own decision to bring the infants to term, receiving visions of a timeline where they hold they key to humanityβs resistance. In this uneasy limbo, beset by dangers within and without, Scully grapples with her dashed dreams and her relationship to motherhood, while Mulder is incited to consider his own place within manhood, womanhood, and everything beyond and in-between.Β
Yesss let them be happy!!! They deserve it!! Oh gosh do Orange or Lemon ever wear baggy clothes out in public when theyβre full after a big meal? Because I can just imagine Orange in some baggy sweatshirt to try to not draw attention to himself and Lemon always coming up behind him and putting his hands in Orangeβs sweatshirt pockets to secretly get in a few loving pats without anybody noticing (everybody notices anyway). Or one of them eats so much their clothes donβt fit and they have to resort to some pretty flowy dress, which drives the other crazy

Elliott glanced at his phone, feeling a nervous sweat gathering on his brow. It was quarter to eight. Micahβs evening soccer practice would be over soon, and once he was back in the dorm, Elliottβs study session with Elijah would likely wrap up. It was now or never for this thing heβd been wanting to ask, the little burning thought that heβd been saving for a moment when he and his friend had some time to themselves.
Theyβd had nearly two hours of alone time and he still hadnβt brought it up. He was terrified, to be honest, because β well, it was so weird. What if Elijah laughed him out of the room? What if he got uncomfortable and froze up? What if he thought Elliott was a freak for asking and didnβt want to be his friend anymore?
Butβ¦ Elijah would never do those things. Elliott knew he wouldnβt, and the therapist heβd started seeing at the university health center had been talking to him a lot lately about trust and vulnerability and challenging his catastrophic thoughts. So he cleared his throat and blurted out, βElijah, can I β can I ask you something?β
