A/N: So I was watching the X-Files episode Excelsis Dei yesterday and the case reminded me of a case we might see on SVU, and a crossover fanfic started forming in my head. Sooooo...here's a crossover between (in my opinion) the two greatest dramas in the universe, The X-Files and SVU!
Some notes about this story: I'm screwing the X-Files timeline all up, because this story takes place in the early seasons of the X-Files, around season 6 generally, but I love Doggett and Reyes too much to not put them in it, so they will make an appearance later. I also love the Lone Gunmen waaayyy to much not to put them in, so they will definitely be making an appearance (actually, Byers is my future husband, he just doesn't know it yet lol).
Shippings: Definitely MSR, possibly DRR, possible EO.

"New case, people!" Captain Donald Cragen called, striding into the squad room where his four best detectives were working busily over their desks.
The detectives groaned, visualizing their already huge workload growing ever larger. Olivia Benson, Elliot Stabler, Fin Tutuola and John Munch avoided eye contact with their captain as best they could, suddenly appearing very interested in their shoes.
"Don't give me that look, you all. I know you heard me," Cragen said. "This is a high profile case. The victim has been spewing all about it to any reporter, magazine or pedestrian who will listen. It's all over the news now, and it looks very bad for Manhattan SVU if we don't make an effort. So, as of now, all of your major cases are being turned over to different boroughs. The ones ready to go to trial are being taken over by Queens, Brooklyn is taking any with solid leads, and so on. From now on, especially Benson and Stabler, will focus exclusively on this case."
Resignation on their faces, the detectives turned to the captain.
"OK, Cap. Walk us through this case. What's so big about it?" Munch deadpanned.
"Vic's name is Jennifer Meyer. She's 23, a junior at NYU, says she was raped walking home from classes at night a week ago, and the police have not only been doing nothing, they've been openly laughing at her."
There was a pause. "Captain, we have many, many rape cases that are certainly more pressing then this seems to be. That woman has voiced an incredibly common complaint. " Olivia stated. "I mean, just to start with we have a beating/rape by a woman who claims to have no recollection of –"
"This woman claims she was raped by an invisible entity." The captain interrupted, never looking up from the file.
The pause was much longer this time.
"...Well, that's not so common." Munch finally stated.
The detectives looked at each other with expressions of shock, puzzlement, amusement and disappointment.
"And apparently, based on the 'negative reactions' of the NYPD that this woman has come in contact with, they felt it necessary that we bring in some...assistance, to help us on this case." Cragen said, finally looking up from the file.
"Who?" Elliot asked.
"The FBI in Washington is sending us agents that they call 'specialists' in this kind of phenomenon. Supposedly they investigate the paranormal."
A medley of voices spoke at once as soon as Cragen got to 'FBI'.
"The Feds?!"
"Jesus, Captain, don't you know what the Feds think of us?"
"Do they need to be any more obvious about thinking we can't handle this ourselves? Why the hell would they bring out Feds all the way from Washington?"
Cragen silenced them all with a loud whistle.
"First off, I don't know why the Feds are coming out from Washington, except that we don't exactly have a department of the NYPD marked 'Alien Investigation'. You had better make nice with them, though, because if we pull this off, it looks very good for us, and that'll make all of our lives easier. Second of all...I don't even have a second of all. Just don't screw this up."
Fin sighed. "Fine. Who are these agents they're sending?"
Cragen glanced briefly at the file.
"The main agents are called...Mulder and Scully."
"Spooky Mulder? You've called in help from Mr. and Mrs. Spooky Mulder?" Elliot said incredulously.
"Spooky? Do I even want to know?" Olivia said.
"Ahh...Fox Mulder's reputation precedes him." Elliot snorted. "He studied psychology at Oxford and he was supposed to be one of the FBI's most brilliant analysts, but he found this basement stash of unsolvable files called X-Files and now he spends all of his time in that basement, obsessing about aliens and government conspiracies to anyone who will listen. FBI's tried everything to shut him down, even sent down a partner to spy on him about six years ago, but she just became his ally. There's a ton of reports that their relationship goes deeper then...friendship." Elliot glanced at Olivia quickly with the last sentence.
"Even so, Stabler, they have experience with this that we don't, and we need that expertise." Cragen said. "I've arranged a meeting with them for when they come in tomorrow at 3. I expect you all to be there, and to extend them every professional courtesy." With that, Cragen swept back into his office and closed the door with a solid bang.
The detectives sighed and turned back to their work, but Olivia found herself not quite able to concentrate. She had to admit that she was intrigued, despite herself, at this new turn. I guess I really haven't seen it all, she thought wryly, smiling to herself. She'd been so sure nothing could shock her anymore.
Olivia snorted at how ridiculous that sounded and turned back to her work. Tommorow would be interesting, that was for sure.
