Author's Note: My computer ate like pages upon pages of my writing, which sort of killed my brain. This is my first attempt at writing since then, so hopefully it's not awful. (And hey, 30 Rock shippers - it happened on The X Files so let's keep our hopes up!)

Jack slides his hand along the inside of Liz's thigh at the exact moment she exclaims, "Oh!"
He grins and feels himself becoming aroused. "You're receptive tonight."
"No, not you," she says, waving at the television with the remote curled within her fist. "The X Files is on!"
"You're choosing a tv show over sex?" At least in this case he has to ask. He already knows where he stands when pitted against a cupcake.
"Not just any tv show. The tv show."
"Is Oprah the star?"
Liz rolls her eyes and scoots closer to him as she increases the volume on the remote. She pats his arm and he lifts it, allowing her to curl into his body. She settles in, smiling as she rests her head against his chest. "You work in television. How do you not know The X Files?”
"I don't concern myself with other networks' programming. I pay people to do that for me."
"Well you are one deprived, sad, little man. This is only the best. show. ever." She sets down the remote and sighs happily.
Jack watches her watch the television for nearly twenty minutes. She doesn't make a sound and sits, eyes wide, in compete rapture. "So," he finally says. "The redhead and the paranoid guy -- they're together?"
To his surprise, Liz beams at him. "You're a shipper!"
"What did you just call me?"
"A shipper! A relationshipper! You are totally a shipper for Mulder and Scully!" When his only response is to stare blankly, she continues, "You see the love sparks between them. You want them to be together."
"I wouldn't mind seeing her naked, no."
She furrows her brow in that way that makes her look like a small woodland creature and he licks his lip to stifle a smile. "Not be in the sack together. They're meant to be together-- like in love together. It's all taboo 'cause they're co-workers--"
"As if that ever stopped anyone," he says pointedly. She blushes.
"The point is…you're a shipper, and that means several things."
"Such as?"
"Well, firstly, you're paying enough attention to the show to have picked up on it, which means I'll convert you into a total X Files nerd in no time."
"And secondly?"
"You're totally gonna get some tonight." At his grin, she adds, "When the show is over."
Jack decides that he could grow to love this show.
