Summary: Summary: Per Ardua picks up four months after Spondeo left off. Mulder and Scully navigate trials together while continuing to raise William. There are references to a case that Mulder consults on, but it is not an X-File. This is a story about living life and dealing with the highs and, in this particular story, some pretty low lows. In Terra Firma and Spondeo, everything was told from Mulder's point of view. In Per Ardua, you will hear from both Mulder and Scully.
***CONTENT WARNING: This story contains material that may upset some readers. The case that Mulder consults on makes references to rape. It is not described in much detail, nor does it happen within the "real time" of the story. It does NOT happen to Scully or any known character. The way it is referenced, I would consider it fairly low on the angst scale, but I am not a survivor of rape and I do not wish to make assumptions for others. Additionally, Mulder and Scully deal with some other highly emotional circumstances that may be bothersome to some readers. There is NO character death or abuse of any kind. And you have my personal guarantee that all my stories have happy endings. If you would like to know what it is specifically that Mulder and Scully go through, please e-mail me at [email protected] and I will be happy to tell you before you read. There is a spoiler at the very end of the story in the author's notes, please be aware that if you scroll to the end, you will know the content of the story.
The title, Per Ardua, translates to Through Trials.
