Darwin made a return from fanfic retirement with this epic story in 2018. It starts with a short story set mid-Season 6, then follows canon until 3 of a Kind, where Mulder gets to be sensitive and manly at the same time, after which it jets off across the Pacific Ocean into its own universe.
It's a shame Darwin didn't know about the Elvis shop in Honolulu (it was there in 1991 when I was there but things may have changed by the end of the decade. 🙂 ). Mulder could have had fun there, but they managed to have plenty of fun in lots of other places so I have no complaints. There's a lovely mixture of angst, smut and fluff as Mulder and Scully try to work out their future. It's well worth a read or re-read.
