From the moment he called her “sweetheart” for the first time, it was clear that James Ford and Kate Austen had something. He had been with girls like her, he told her. But not girls exactly like her, she responded. And thus began the amazing, frustrating, rocky, enthralling relationship between the two outcasts.

In the fugitive’s mind, she should be a good woman, and in order to be a good woman, she needed a good man. And a good man wasn't a conman like Sawyer. But as the days passed, her heart would not allow her to stray away from him. As their time on the island progressed, they shared everything together, from the most passionate kisses, to their deepest, darkest secrets. It hasn’t always been easy, but the best love stories never are. Their relationship is something real, something that is a true joy to watch.

When they crashed on the island, they were strangers, whose one similarity was that they were lost. Or.. at least that's what it seemed like at first glance. Behind all of their fronts, and lies.. they really aren't all that different when it comes down to it. They both happened to be deported back to the US on the same flight, that same day. But when they found each other, they found themselves.

Sawyer loves her unconditionally, and he will always love her, no matter what her past looks like and no matter what her future holds. Kate sees right through Sawyer’s tough exterior, she always has, but she also sees into James’s heart, which beats only for her. She makes him a better person, and he gives her a reason to believe again. Their salvation lies in each other’s love.

They have passion. When they fight, when they care, when they make love. It’s ingrained in their dynamic. It’s one thing to look good as a couple, but without chemistry, there’s nothing there to write home about. Skate has chemistry in spades. They argue more than they talk, but it’s the fire between them that really gets the point across. These are two people emotionally stunted and not used to showing vulnerability, but they’ve given themselves to eachother in ways I never thought I’d see. They’re far from perfect and it’s been a bumpy ride on this rollercoaster known as the Skate relationship, but they’re a beautiful mess worth seeing through to the end.

We felt as though this was the perfect title for our Conman and Fugitive. After reading the Outlaws script.. it just seemed right. Since the beginning they've come a long way, but they've always remained two complicated, troubled souls.

The 14 songs that were chosen seemed to fit just quite right with our couple and theme. There's a range of subjects in our tracklisting, but one of the biggest is separation. Throughout the seasons Sawyer and Kate have been separated time after time; only to be reunited again with eachother, and thus allowing us all to witness an amazing show of emotion from the both of them.

Hopefully these songs will be looked up and listened to, and might remind you of Skate just as much as it did the rest of us. Enjoy!

“Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.” This Shakespearean sonnet accurately describes the intensity of Sawyer’s feelings for Kate. Through the fighting, flirting, angst, sharing, love and miscommunications, he has always been in love with her in such a pure and unrestricted way. The underlying respect and understanding they have for each other always lead them back to each other. The passion, they have it, the chemistry, we feel it, and it sure as hell makes it entertaining to watch.

Nobody can deny the overwhelming chemistry and animal attraction between Sawyer and Kate, but what's more important is the emotional connection that the two share. Together, each is free to be who they really are. They are the all-consuming, beautifully raw, epic love story of Lost.

Kate is all Sawyer has in his life. She is the reason he wants to fight, wake up every morning and just live. Without her his life has no meaning, no depth. She is his goal because she understands him like no one, she is so similar but so different. When it comes to Kate she knows that when she needs a chest to cry on she has him no matter what. They know each other at their best and their worst, and take each other how they are. They don't judge. They don't try to change each other desperately. The change comes from their heart because Kate wants to be better for Sawyer and Sawyer wants to be better for Kate. That makes them stronger.

Kate and Sawyer got me since the beginning. It’s not only because they are so extremely beautiful and intense together, but most of all because I can feel that kind of magic that two people who belong together have. They get each other like no other, they can be what they are around each other. No matter what they do, they can fight, laugh, kiss, make love, hold each other, even just look at each other, they will always represent the one for each other. Forever. It doesn’t matter if they’re separated by time and space: he’s her “him” and she’s his “her”.

Love isn't a fairytale. Kate and Sawyer prove that. Their story is so captivating that it's impossible not to fall for them. The love that they feel for each other is there, in the way they look at each other, in what they do for each other, in their caresses, in how they miss each other when they're not together. Both suffered enough in the past, so now they both seek for their deserved happiness, hopefully together.
