Season Eight Missing Scenes Challenge Pack
Season eight has several episodes with "missing" scenes. We are left to assume that key events happened off screen, which is less than satifying. Try your hand at writing a fic that fills in a gap.
In chronological order...
The Billy Underwood case involved a lost child. Both Scully and Doggett had already lost a child by that point too: Emily and Luke. Write a story that includes a scene where one or both of them think about their own loss. Optional: also include a scene with one discussing their loss with the other.
Challenge fics:
Empathy by Kyouryoku Senshi

Our Baby by Kyouryoku Senshi
Three people in the past few months have asked for the exact same thing at Haven, so I thought I'd make a challenge just for them.
Your challenge:
- Write a missing-scene fic that fills in the gap* between Mulder finding Scully and Reyes in Democrat Hot Springs, and him ending up at her apartment to see her holding the baby.
* here's an episode transcript for reference:

A New Beginning by Kyouryoku Senshi
