Summary
To start, wrote Anne Blythe, you must find a suitable person.
She did not mean it to be read allowed, any more than she meant to write a story endorsing Rollings Reliable Baking Powder.
The great thing about age, though, is that it's so much easier to laugh at oneself. And Gilbert loved this story. Recipe, really. So on a golden summer eventide, Anne reads it allowed, to her children, to their spouses, to Gilbert who loved it.
And who better than Anne Shirley to take as an authority on perfect happiness? After all, she was imagining it years before she found it.

Way back in the '20s, Una Meredith went to teach at the Anglo-Chinese School, Singapore, and Carl Meredith went with her. Somewhere along the way, Rosemary and John Meredith made peace with the fact they were never coming back. And that was fine; Singapore, said everyone, was an impregnable fortress.

Scully isn’t up to traveling (or much of anything—yay hormones) for Christmas but Mulder still tries to make it special for her, especially with it being their first Christmas together. What does it look like? What mishaps does he face?

Summary
“Mmm,” he said, and took seconds, and that’s how Scully wound up at the sink once the house had gone quiet, rubbing a William-sized splotch of strawberry-jello-stained cake off the front of her blouse.
Let’s just take it for granted they get William back and live outside of Pittsburgh for a couple in-between years. This is when William turns three, and they’re still lying low, and a few milestones are celebrated. Including changing Mulder’s mind about strawberry cake. Post-season 9, AU.
