>>Uh, what now? X-Files canon is CONFUSING AS FUCK.
...how much XF canon do you know? Basically, Bill Mulder, Teena Mulder, and the Cigarette Smoking Man, in a polyamorous world, would have made the MOST ADORABLE TRIAD EVER and raised their part-alien psychic kids in a beautiful happy family. But this was in the middle of a political conspiracy in the 1960s America so instead they fell apart in a miasma of spousal abuse, infidelity, secrets, resentment, despair and assassinations.
It is unclear whether Bill or CSM was the bio-father of either or both of the Mulder kids, and also unclear as to whether we ever learned CSM's real name. Teena and Bill eventually get divorced after their daughter was abducted by aliens but then (apparently?) raised by CSM's family with or without their knowledge, CSM goes all cold and hard and scary-powerful, Bill gets murdered probably on CSM's orders, and Teena, who is at this point a frail white-haired old lady, has tried to leave all this behind her, and is the only person who can stand up to CSM unscathed, and gets in shouting matches with him whenever somebody tries to drag her back in. (He pines over her! Pines. Though possibly partly because he can't let himself acknowledge his feelings re: Bill.)
Then everything goes even farther to shit and the stuff I mentioned with the stroke that CSM forces the aliens to cure and the arctic cabin of wtf and the suicide and the brain surgery and so on happens but this is about the point where XF canon stops making any sense AT ALL. :D
...man, I'd forgotten how much I was passionate about the XF parental generation.
ETA: Also you can probably tell but I also find talking about soulbonds to be VERY INTERESTING!
