Wow, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the affirmation of why this ship is brilliant.

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!

YES! These couples definitely have a similar vibe in spending all their time together, challenging each other yet supporting each other, and being willing to do just about anything for each other except acknowledge that there's anything romantic about their feelings. UST is indeed a very handy acronym!
