Magnetic skyrmions and the chiral magnets that host them provide a vivid example of topology made tangible in a solid: nanoscale spin textures whose winding governs their stability and response. This talk traces a decade-long programme in which resonant elastic X-ray scattering (REXS) has evolved from a structural probe of these textures into a tool for following magnetism in space and time. I begin with how REXS can identify skyrmion order directly in reciprocal space, bypassing the limitations of real-space imaging, and show how its polarization and energy dependence provide element-specific and depth-sensitive access to chirality and three-dimensional magnetic order, including the near-surface twisting of skyrmion tubes and topological spin structures across buried interfaces. Building on this static picture, I turn to dynamics: by combining magnetic scattering with ferromagnetic resonance, individual spin-wave modes can be isolated and their amplitude and phase reconstructed at gigahertz frequencies. Two recent results close the arc. First, helimagnons emitted by a chiral magnet can drive a remote ferromagnetic layer into synchronised precession across a non-magnetic spacer, demonstrating contact-free coupling that transmits both frequency and chirality. Second, X-ray Magnetic Vector Chronoscopy (XMVC) reconstructs the full three-dimensional trajectory of coupled magnon modes layer by layer, recovering their vectorial eigenfunctions rather than only their frequencies, with snapshots separated by tens of picoseconds. Together, these advances show how synchrotron X-rays can move beyond imaging magnetic texture to reconstruct the full behaviour of magnetic systems in space, time, and dimension, with clear implications for future magnonic and spintronic devices.
