Welcome to LUST, the web site devoted to the best relationship on television between Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully of The X-Files. It's "a mutual respect mingled with subtextual love" as Ken Tucker said in Entertainment Weekly. There are some who believe that this relationship should move to the next level. I, however, love the perfect scale that they balance on now. And the UST (Unresolved Sexual Tension) just makes the chemistry between them sizzle. I'll admit I often squeal and gush about the moments they share (the looks, the touches, the smiles), and sometimes I'll classify myself as a 'Shipper. BUT I don't want Mulder and Scully to get together. (The infamous catch.) That doesn't mean I can't document all the times they almost have. :) Please feel free to browse! And as soon as summer comes I promise (for real this time!) That I'll be back to update this ancient thing! Until then, thanks for visiting!!!

Analysis Room

"Sweet Surrender" is my first attempt at a long analysis. It provides further insight into the now infamous hallway scene in The X-Files: Fight the Future including the changes that occurred in both Mulder and Scully, and the impact the scene will have on their relationship.

Sweet Surrender

"Foolish Games" was written after the episode entitled 'Milagro' aired. I felt that this brought up many issues concerning the Mulder/Scully dynamic, especially Scully's feelings towards Mulder. It analyzes how Jewel's song 'Foolish Games' fits this particular attitude. At this time I was feeling in a particularly unshippy mood, so be warned.
