Under a harvest moon, truths begin to surface. Mulder grapples with the collapse of myth into something colder, more human, while Scully is swept into a night that feels disarmingly like fate, guided by Skinner’s steady presence and unexpected grace.

Chapter Summary: Tensions escalate as Assistant Director Walter Skinner arrives in Aspen, only to find himself entangled in a web of suspicious deaths, political intrigue, and lingering local resentments. While Mulder pursues eccentric leads— hiking his way into trouble, charming rehab-bound rock stars, discovering shady resort dealings, and pursuing his persistent theory of a sinister creature—Scully struggles to maintain rational order amidst growing chaos. As alliances shift and danger looms in the Aspen shadows, the line between predator and prey blurs, leaving everyone questioning who—or what—is really pulling the strings.

Summary: In classic X-Files fashion, Mulder presents Scully with a puzzling case: a series of brutal animal attacks in the luxurious resort town of Aspen. The local authorities blame mountain lions, but the details don't fit. Mulder suspects something more... supernatural. Scully, ever the skeptic, remains unconvinced, even as Mulder pulls out historical accounts of werewolves and mythical beasts. With a free trip to a luxurious spa on the line (courtesy of Mulder's questionable expense tactics), Scully reluctantly agrees to accompany him. Will they uncover a real werewolf lurking among the rich and famous, or is there another explanation for the Aspen attacks? Dancing in the Moonlight (25854 words) by prChung Chapters: 9/?
