Triangle-verse!Scully
Clyde Bruckman: Hilarious. Tragic. Makes fun of Mulder, won an Emmy for it. "Final Repose" is one of TXF's most acclaimed episodes for good reason. If Clyde wasn't Clyde, this episode wouldn't be nearly as well received.
Clyde Bruckman: You don't get it, do you, kid? Two years from now, while driving down Route 91, coming home to your wife and baby daughter, you're going to be hit head-on by a drunk, driving a blue '87 Mustang. You'll end up looking worse than 60 feet of bad road your body slides across after flying out your front windshield. Young Husband: Mister, you really need to work on your closing technique.
Triangle-verse!Scully: An OSS agent who takes no shit, is going to show you the stars on the American flag, and is willing to sacrifice her life for the good of the mission

To jog your memory, here are the episodes they're from:
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose: Skeptical of a famous psychic's predictions regarding the death of several prognosticators, Mulder instead finds someone whom he believes truly can predict the future. Catching the killer could prove difficult, though, particularly if the killer can also see into his future.
Triangle: Mulder goes in search of a ship that disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in 1939. But when he gets on board, Mulder finds that he—and all the passengers and crew (including some strangely familiar faces)—are still stuck in the past.
