I already suspect that this universe will go AU relatively soon after One Son
I can see that it might well have to. After all, otherwise you have the problem of how a clever wizard like WMM/Parkinson could permit a muggle car bomb to kill him, and I'm not sure it could. Of course, someone Apparating to the opposite end of the alley to Mulder, waving a wand and yelling Avada kedavra might do the trick. Or he might just have decided to retire from the muggle world and settle down to wizard politics full time. :-)
I'd certainly be interested to see what reaction Mulder would have to finding a hidden world within his world. Maybe that's where he's going when he takes off to England to investigate crop circles in "all things"?
I quite like that as an idea for a Diana background. It seems more fulfilling somehow than the thought that she was an out-and-out villain from the start. It's more in keeping with what we learned of the conspiracy players in the early years too, before mytharc episodes got painted in such broad strokes of black and white. In seasons 2-3, people like WMM and CSM were portrayed as selfish, yes, but also as doing something that they genuinely thought might help the world as well as themselves. Their means and motives were suspect, more than the end results they were trying to achieve, which is why it's so easy to slot Krycek into the game as a kind of anti-Mulder, breaking all the rules and doing terrible things, but with the same end goal. The groundwork has already been done by the series itself.
