This post is made of win. I have never seen anyone lay out so clearly why I love Doctor/Rose.
They save each other emotionally as well as physically. He rescues her from a life where a job in a nice shop is thought to give her airs and graces, and she saves him from his post-Time War despair. Their relationship is EPIC. She absorbed the bloody Time Vortex and scattered a message across the entire universe in order to save him, and he gave up a life for her. However, it's also defined by little moments: a decision to go get chips, a moment of mutual appreciation and smiles while about to be killed by gas zombies, a significant glance across the table in the middle of trying to foil an alien plot, holding hands in a lift, an exchange of banter. For two people with the scary titles of Oncoming Storm and Bad Wolf, they sure are adorable.
I was trying to quote only a small bit of this paragraph but I couldn't cut anything out. This right here is why I am so in love with this ship.
Mulder/Scully was my first ship and fandom/fanfic experience too. I definitely feel that my love for Doctor/Rose is an extension of my love for them. Love UST! I feel that acronym doesn't get used enough in this fandom when it really should.
