Fuffy

note(s): For FC, Piper, Elaine, B_A and everyone who asked for more Fuffy. :)

2002 November 27, cheebs!, “FIC: Returning - F/B, PG, 1/1”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer.creative (Usenet)

I personally wish Joss will give us a Fuffy ending to the series...Buffy realizing it's Faith she needs to be with.

2003 January 5, Alberich, “Re: Faith may rat out Buffy”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet)

You guys need to read more (fem)slash. In most of the Wuffy and Fuffy fics I've read recently, Spike is either absent, or plain old pre-chip Evil!Spike.

2005 July 16, Aaron Davies, “Re: SEASON 4 FIC CHALLENGE: Looking for a good character development fic!”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer.creative (Usenet)

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Faith and Buffy Summers from the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

With regard to favorite scenes, I have to say I liked the scene where Riley and Fuffy (is that what you guys call Faith-in-Buffy's-body?) slept together.

2000 April 1, mc...@hotmail.com, “Re: sorry, rose, one last Riley thread”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet)

Tara displayed some remarkable perceptiveness in "Who are You" realizing that Fuffy wasn't Buffy.

2000 May 24, Molly Moloney, “Re: Restless Comments”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet)

The only chemistry I ever noticed between Spike and Buffy was when she was Fuffy.

2003 April 16, DarkMagic, “Re: First thought on "Dirty Girls"”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet)

(Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom slang) Faith while inhabiting Buffy Summers' body during their bodyswap.


Dair

However, the possibility of "Dair," and the weird moves Ben keeps making with Damien are the only things that keep the series strong.

2011 February 28, Morgan Babbs, “Another scheme, please”, in The San Mateo Hi, San Mateo High School, San Mateo, California, page 8

I ship Dair so hard (Ed: wikipedia 'Shipping fandom'); I hope they end the series with their wedding and a montage of all their best moments together.

2012, Sophie Byrne, “Stuff You Like”, in On Dit, volume 80, number 4, University of Adelaide, page 43

Although Josh Schwartz suggests that “Chair” or “Dair” fans are embroiled in a “battle” on Twitter, the users of the Gossip Girl FanForum do not appear to engage with each other directly.

2014, Lori Bindig, Gossip Girl: A Critical Understanding, page 143

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Dan Humphrey and Blair Waldorf of the Gossip Girl series.


Chair

His skill renders Becker's portrayal of Prince Grimaldi, a lover and future husband, futile in the wake of Chair (Chuck and Blair).

2011, Brionna Jimerson, "'Gossip Girl' conceives unrealistic plotlines, child", The Tufts Daily (Tufts University), 6 October 2011, page 11

We can already tell which idyllic couples obsessive fans will fantasize about like Chair (Chuck and Blaire of "Gossip Girl") and Jim and Pam of "The Office."

2012 October 18, Haley Boston, “TV Review: 'Nashville'”, in The Daily Northwestern, Northwestern University, page 4

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf of the Gossip Girl series.


M/K

Initialism from the names Mulder and Krycek.

Last March, I posted my first ever fanfic, an M/K fic to X Slash, and it got lots of loving feedback. Lots and lots of feedback.

1998 December 3, Woodinat, “Re: Feedback Experiences in general”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet)

I am a mostly M/K fan, but I'll read just about anything that is slashy and well-written...

1998 December 24, Sosoprano, “Slash list question”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet)

Anyone care to pass their latest M/K slash through the English/Swedish translator, and then back again?

1999 July 8, Kipler, “Wacky Summer Translation Machine Fun (Was: Re: Fanfic in Spanish?)”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet)

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Fox Mulder and Alex Krycek from the television series The X-Files.


C/P

Initialism from the names Chakotay and Paris.

I have had many people ask for a C/P story.

2001 October 16, Christine Porter, “REP: Fic: Just a Pinch of Spice {Voy} C/P”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet)

Many perfectly good C/P fics suddenly run into these cliches once the two are together and it's completely ruined for me!

2003 June 16, nikita79x, “Re: Cliches (was: K/S cliches)”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet)

I actually have a longer C/P story that I wrote the first part of - must be 3 or 4 years ago (or longer) and just never finished it.

2008 January 2, Cait N., “Re: NEW VOY: Three Reasons 1/1 (C/T, m/m, Figure Eight Challenge) [PG]”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet)

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Chakotay and Tom Paris from the television series Star Trek: Voyager.


Bubbline

"The fanfiction actually began to seep into the show. The 'Bubbline' relationship between Marceline and Princess Bubblegum was never intended, but because it was a fan favourite, they're focusing on it a little bit. […]

2015, Jessica DiCicco, quoted in Kyle Butcher, "Supa DiCicco", Blank Gold Coast, April 2015, page 46

I don't think there was a singular emotion to describe the moment Bubbline became canon.

2018, Stephanie Chang, "When 'Bubbline' Became Canon", Her Culture, October/November 2018, page 69

Still, intrigued by Bubbline, I'd occasionally check in on the fandom to see what was up with their relationship.

2018, Jordan Currie, "Canon, at last!", New Wave Magazine (Ryerson University), Fall 2018, page 10

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Princess Bubblegum and Marceline of the animated television series Adventure Time.


Supercorp

Jordan's heterosexuality is juxtaposed with the recurring generalization of all Supercorp fans as LGBTQ+, allowing the debates around queerbaiting to shift their focus from the evidence of queerness in the primary narrative to the homophobia of the ostensibly heterosexual creators and the purported harm inflicted on LGBTQ+ fans.

2019, Michael McDermott, “From Canon to Politics: Queerbaiting and The CW's Supergirl”, in Joseph Brennan, editor, Queerbaiting and Fandom: Teasing Fans Through Homoerotic Possibilities, page 119

However, unless the show writers decide to turn the show in a more queer direction, SuperCorp is doomed to remain hidden as reading between the lines during all Lena Luthor and Kara Danvers/Supergirl interactions.

2018, Anna DeGalan, "Supergay: A Queer Analysis of the CW’s 'Supergirl'", paper submitted to Bowling Green State University, page 19

Many fans have been frustrated by cast members' dismissiveness of Supercorp, […]

2020, Chelsea M. Gibbs, “'It's real, you're real, and you deserve a full, happy life': Supergirl's 'Sanvers' as an Affirmation to Queer Tumblr Fangirls Everywhere”, in Melissa Wehler, Tim Rayborn, editors, Girl of Steel: Essays on Television's Supergirl and Fourth-Wave Feminism, page 153

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Kara Danvers (Supergirl) and Lena Luthor from the television series Supergirl.


Spirk

Note: he doesn't know about Spirk, as far as I know.

2003 February 22, ToolPackinMama, “Re: K/S is a universal constant”, in alt.tv.star-trek.tos (Usenet)

It is most commonly noted that the first famous pairing of Kirk/Spock, or Spirk, falls under the category of buddyslash.

2013, Janidean Bruner, "I 'like' slash: the demographics of Facebook slash communities", thesis submitted to the University of Louisville, page 10

Even more so, the other main reason for so much consistency in economies is the long tradition of "proper" fanfiction writing and engagement, handed down from the "Spirk" zine-writers of the 80s and 90s, to the AOL email lists and forums of early X-Files fans in the mid to late 90s, to the multi-page, interactive, and searchable archives of fanfiction sites today.

2016, Brittany Kelley, "To My Betas, Endless Chocolate Frogs!: Exploring the Intersections of Emotion, the Body, and Literacy in Online Fanfiction", thesis submitted to the University of Louisville, page 146

(fandom slang, rare) The ship of characters Spock and James Kirk of the Star Trek franchise.


Captain Swan

Captain + Swan, a combination of Killian Jones' title as Captain Hook and Emma Swan's surname.

And the 'Captain Swan' fans would have been like, grr!

2015, Merrin Dungey, quoted in Mars Tonic, "Once Upon a Time - It's Good to Be Bad", GayCalgary Magazine, May 2015, page 30

In its annual “Year in Review” for 2015, Tumblr listed Captain Swan, a “ship” or relationship between Captain Hook and Emma Swan of the TV program Once Upon a Time as one of its most popular pairings.

2016, Susan Henneberg, 20 Great Career-Building Activities Using Tumblr, page 43

Additionally, wittyoncer states that Swan Queen is “compelling,” echoing the shared belief that Outlaw Queen and Captain Swan are anything but […]

2017, Shannon A. Suddeth, "(Dis)Enchanted: (Re)constructing Love and Creating Community in the Once Upon a Time Queer Fandom", thesis submitted to the University of South Florida, page 31

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Emma Swan and Killian Jones from the television series Once Upon a Time.


Zutara

Five times, reviewers ensured the author this was the best Zutara story they had read.

2014, Rincke de Bont, "The Appreciation of Storybending: An Exploration of Reviewing Practices in Online Avatar Fan Fiction", thesis submitted to Tilburg University, page 45

Ships are often given names, such as HMS Harmony (for Harry Potter and Hermione Grange from the Harry Potter universe) or Zutara (for Zuko and Katara, characters from the animated television show Avatar: The Last Airbender).

2016, Aaron Schwabach, Fan Fiction and Copyright: Outsider Works and Intellectual Property Protection, page 11

Konietzko, for his part, suggests a great awareness: “There were plenty of Makorra shippers out there, so if we had gone back on our decision and gotten those characters back together, would that have meant we caved in to those fans instead?....Trust me, I remember Kataang vs. Zutara.”

2017, Jake Pitre, "Rated Q for Queer: The Legend of Korra and the Evolution of Queer Reading", Reader Feather Journal, Volume 8, Number 2, Fall 2017, pages 29-30

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Zuko and Katara from the animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Zuko


Bethyl

For fans of the “Bethyl” romance, this would also allow Daryl to carry on a relationship with Beth free of the guilt of hurting Carol’s feelings.

2014 November 17, Lindsay Putnam, “Who will be the next to die on ‘The Walking Dead’?”, in New York Post

While there are many die-hard Caryl and Bethyl shippers who have argued for Daryl’s heterosexuality, others have maintained that Daryl is gay.

2014 December 1, Amanda Michelle Steiner, “The Walking Dead: Creator Robert Kirkman Finally Reveals Daryl's Sexuality”, in People

And before you know it, you've exploded vicious rhetoric on some poor Bethyl shipper on Tumblr who never saw it coming.

2016, Kathleen Smith, The Fangirl Life: A Guide to All the Feels and Learning How to Deal, unnumbered page

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Beth Greene and Daryl Dixon from the television series The Walking Dead.


Jate

For example, a Jate shipper would say that “Jack and Kate are my OTP.”

2008, Jon Lachonis, Amy J. Johnston, Lost Ate My Life: The Inside Story of a Fandom Like No Other, unnumbered page

Of course, 'Jate' fans may hope that she is destined to marry Jack, and become the 'Shephard' listed on the wall.

2010, Robert Dougherty, Lost: It Only Ends Once: An Unofficial Last Look, page 44

I really enjoyed this episode – Jack and Kate get caught in a net (Loved the Jate this episode.)

2012, Erin Leslie, Lost After Lost, page 67

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Jack Shephard and Kate Austen from the television series Lost.


Caryl

As much fun as it would be to imagine a "Darol" or "Caryl" relationship it just isn't true.

2016, Wayne Yuen, “Gruesome Walkers”, in Wayne Yuen, editor, The Ultimate Walking Dead and Philosophy: Hungry for More, page 247

Richonne just seemed like something all of Tumblr was screaming for but might not ever happen (like Caryl, though I'm still gunning for that one), but now it's actually real.

2016 March 17, Danielle S. Tepper, “Top Five TV Power Couples”, in Town & Country Gazette, page 40

Kirkman quoted the Internet page "Quotes On Caryl" dedicated to the Carol-Daryl relationship, […]

2018, Rikke Schubart, Mastering Fear: Women, Emotions, and Contemporary Horror, unnumbered page

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Carol Peletier and Daryl Dixon from the television series The Walking Dead.


Suliet

The Suliet and Skate “shippers” (those who want to see Sawyer and Juliet or Sawyer and Kate together) went to war about whether Juliet was right or not.

2009, Nikki Stafford, Finding Lost, Season Five, unnumbered page

If you’re a Suliet fan, then the defining moment is probably the dock scene from “LaFleur,” when Sawyer — using all his impossible powers of charm — convinces Juliet to stay on the island for just two more weeks.

2013 March 22, Darren Franich, “'Lost': Sawyer, Kate, and Juliet - Best TV Couple of All Time?”, in Entertainment Weekly

But her heartfelt proclamation of love for Sawyer and his reaction to her imminent demise made many of us dig Suliet for the first (and last) time.

2015, James O'Ehley, Erin Willard, editors, The Take2 Guide to Lost: The Ultimate Compendium, unnumbered page

(fandom slang) The ship of characters James "Sawyer" Ford and Juliet Burke from the television series Lost.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Ruby and Sapphire from the Steven Universe series, who combine to create the character Garnet.


Spangel

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Spike and Angel from the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.


Calzona

And as long as they were together, Calzona (Callie + Arizona) were a model couple.

2016, Claudia Riconda, Grey’s Pride: How Grey’s Anatomy Has Changed Our Lives, unnumbered page

As for Ramirez, she'd debut on CBS's Madam Secretary a year and a half later, and with a new look that restored the pulses of Calzona fans everywhere.

2021, Lesley Goldberg, quoted in Lynette Rice, How to Save a Life: The Inside Story of Grey's Anatomy, unnumbered page

Javi also delivered a eulogy memorializing the breakup of Calzona and their sapphic love.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Callie Torres and Arizona Robbins from the television series Grey's Anatomy.


Loudcest

(fandom slang) Incestuous shipping of The Loud House characters, particularly those from the Loud family, most notably Lincoln Loud and any of his sisters.


Phinabella

I could have been your girlfriend / I could have been your fella / We might have been an item / They would have called us "Phinabella"

2015 February 20, “Act Your Age”, in Phineas and Ferb, season 4, episode 47

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Phineas Flynn and Isabella Garcia-Shapiro from the animated television series Phineas and Ferb.


Finnrey

People have started to look at fandom through a social justice lens, so there are now progressive/good ships (Finnrey = interracial, good) and regressive/bad ships (Reylo = white, racist, abusive and sexist = bad).

2020, Shuang, quoted in Adrienne E. Raw, "Fandom Discussion: Knowledge, Intersections, and Tensions of Self, Community, and Social Justice", dissertation submitted to the University of Michigan, page 280

FinnRey fan art

2020, Abigail Reed, "Interpretations and Receptions of Alternative Subjectivities in the Disney-Produced Star Wars Films", dissertation submitted to Florida State University, page vi

I've been following "Finnrey" a lot, which is a dark horse in the realm of shipping. Even people who don't love Finnrey recognize that the first movie did set up that Finn (played by black actor John Boyega) and Rey (white actor Daisy Ridley) had a deep emotional connection that producers later dropped.

2021, Greg Carter, quoted in "UWM historian takes on race, relationships, and representation", In Focus (University of Wisconsin-Millwaukee), January 2021, page 11

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Finn and Rey from Star Wars.


Catradora

I'm firmly on team Catradora, I mean, are they blind to each other or something?

2019, Erik Schubach, The Pike: New Beginnings, unnumbered page

From Charlize Theron kicking *ss in The Old Guard to the final season of She Ra and The Princess of Power finally giving us Catradora.

2020 August, Jamal Grootboom, “Cursed”, in TV Magazine, South Africa, page 19

While many comparisons have now been made between “Korrasami” and “Catradora,” in light of the critical success of She-Ra's final season and its open depiction of Catra and Adora's love, […]

2021, Lauren Chochinov, “'What's Going On with You Two?': Queerness, Fandom, and Adaptation in The Legend of Korra Franchise”, in Reginald Wiebe, editor, Polyptych: Adaptation, Television, and Comics, page 131

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Catra and Adora (She-Ra) from the animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.


MerDer

With Izzie Stevens' treatment going on and MerDer's wedding looming, there's going to be lots of drama at Seattle Grace in the last few episodes of the fifth season.

2009 April 16, CeCe Brooks, “Summer TV GUide”, in Old Black & Gold, Wake Forest University, page B5

With the MerDer drama heating up and Meredith's job on the line, the two-hour season premiere is looking at keeping viewers glued to the screen from beginning to end.

2011 August 31, Ashley Hite, “Fall returning television series provide relief, relaxation from studies”, in The Daily Athenaeum, West Virginia University, page 9

But then they had to go and create a montage of MerDer's relationship and it suddenly got very real.

2015 May 7, Danielle S. Tepper, “Derek Deserved Better”, in Town & Country Gazette, page 40

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd from the television series Grey's Anatomy.


Kadena

Even so, the show succeeds in establishing the Kadena connection with heartfelt love and deep respect.

2017, Melissa Lee, “The Bold Type Big Buzz”, in F-Yeah, volume 1, page 5

During the first two seasons while the Kadena relationship develops onscreen, the pair dominated fanfiction writing.

2020, Jessica Doble, "Reading Fandom: Fandom as Reception and Creative Authority", dissertation submitted to the University of Lousiana at Lafayette, page 231

While the show has had issues when it comes to diversity […], Kadena never fails to make our gay hearts happy.

2021 July, Roxy Bourdillon, “Get The Look: The Bold Type”, in Diva, page 22

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Kat Edison and Adena El-Amin from the television series The Bold Type.


Vauseman

Note: If you don't ship 'Vauseman' by the end of the season, then I'm judging you.

2014, Jenna Benson, in "Reviews", Blitz Mag (University of New South Wales), Session 2, Week 3 + 4 (2014), page 34

However, Clexa (Clarke Griffin and Lexa) from The 100 (2014-), Vauseman (Alex Vause and Piper Chapman) from Orange is the New Black (2013-) and Karmy (Karma Ashcroft and Amy Raudenfeld) in Faking It (2014-2016) are further examples.

2016, William Patrick Bingham, "Queer Fan Practices Online: Digital Fan Production as a Negotiation of LGBT Representation in Pretty Little Liars", thesis submitted to the University of East Anglia, page 6

I will delve into the ways Vauseman both upholds and subverts the expectations of a couple involved in a traditional marriage plot.

2019, Alexis Constantine, "'I wanna be your prison wife': Nice Blonde Ladies, Broken Rules, and Subversive Marriage Plots in Jenji Kohan’s Orange is the New Black", thesis submitted to Middle Tennessee State University, page 13

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Alex Vause and Piper Chapman from the television series Orange Is the New Black.


Paily

Commenters are generally supportive of the possibility of a Paige and Emily coupling, either expressing surprise or that they had been expecting this, with one commenter even expressing her love for “Paily” (Emily and Paige’s relationship name) (ABC Family, 2011).

2013, Caitlin Campisi, "Homonationalism on TV?: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Queer and Trans* Youth Representations on Mainstream Teen Television Shows", thesis submitted the University of Ottawa, page 98

They can explore female queerness by reblogging posts about ‘Paily’.

2015, Alexandra Louise Elizabeth Simpson, "Shipping The Margin To The Centre: Excavating Tumblr; Filling In The Self", thesis submitted to Texas A&M University, page 74

Strategies which fanfiction authors use to create fanfiction, such as closely analysing homoerotic moments in the source text, are investigated through analysing similar trends investigated in section one and by employing the same method outlined above but are applied to Paily fics instead of the slash texts explored in section one.

2016, William Patrick Bingham, "Queer Fan Practices Online: Digital Fan Production as a Negotiation of LGBT Representation in Pretty Little Liars", thesis submitted to the University of East Anglia, page 100

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Paige McCullers and Emily Fields from the television series Pretty Little Liars.


Karmy

Fans rooting for "Karmy" – the official couple name for the two of them – may still have hope.

2014, Sophia Kaufman, "'Faking It' midseason finale forgoes subtlety", The Michigan Daily (University of Michigan), 3 December 2014, page 5A

But despite the show’s depiction of Karma as presumably straight, fans latched onto the “Karmy” pairing.

2018, Annemarie Navar-Gill, “From Strategic Retweets to Group Hangs: Writers’ Room Twitter Accounts and the Productive Ecology of TV Social Media Fans”, in Television & New Media, volume 19, number 5

Fans were especially disappointed when Covington revealed to the Hollywood Reporter, “It was always my intention to make ‘Karmy’ happen during our final season. Karma would finally realize that her possessiveness of Amy might be a sign of deeper feelings for her best friend.”

2019, Carter Covington, quoted in Francesca Petronio, "Raised on TV: A Queer Teen's Guide to Syndicated Sexualities", thesis to The City University of New York, page 42

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Karma Ashcroft and Amy Raudenfeld from the American television series Faking It.


Naomily

In the case of Naomily however, the relationship is endorsed within the official text by the end of Series 3, and by Series 4 they are unambiguously presented and recognized as a couple.

2012 February, Deborah F. Hunn, “'The dark side of Naomily': Skins, fan texts and contested genres”, in Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies, volume 26, number 1, page 93

There was no difference between the handling of Naomily and that of other couples on the show because it was a story about falling in love—the fact that the lovers happened to be a pair of schoolgirls was incidental.

2020, Ann-Marie Cook, “Just a Queer Little Love Story: Skins and the Naomily Phenomenon”, in Stefano Ramello, editor, Fascination of Queer, page 173

The details of their romance are lovingly expanded upon, developing the Naomily narrative in multiple ways.

2020, Kate McNicholas Smith, Lesbians on Television: New Queer Visibility & The Lesbian Normal, unnumbered page

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Naomi Campbell and Emily Fitch from the British television series Skins.


Kataang

Are you a supporter of Katara and Aang’s relationship? Then you’re a member of the Kataang club.

2006, "United Nations: The Fans of Avatar", Nick Mag Presents, Winter 2006, page 40

I still prefer Kataang, because I can't imagine Aang and Katara ever drifting apart when Katara is the one person he could not let go and Katara's life truly began because she met him and he is basically the light and joy in her life.

2014, "paulina101", quoted in Rincke de Bont, "The Appreciation of Storybending: An Exploration of Reviewing Practices in Online Avatar Fan Fiction", thesis submitted to Tilburg University, pages 98-99

Konietzko, for his part, suggests a great awareness: “There were plenty of Makorra shippers out there, so if we had gone back on our decision and gotten those characters back together, would that have meant we caved in to those fans instead?....Trust me, I remember Kataang vs. Zutara.”

2017, Jake Pitre, "Rated Q for Queer: The Legend of Korra and the Evolution of Queer Reading", Reader Feather Journal, Volume 8, Number 2, Fall 2017, pages 29-30

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Katara and Aang from the animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Aang
Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender)


Scorbus

Because of this, some commentators are suspicious that the appetite for a Scorbus romance was not unknown to those catering to it.

2016 August 16, Ilana Masad, “Harry Potter and the Possible Queerbaiting: why fans are mad over a lack of gay romance”, in The Guardian

For Harry Potter fandom, the idea of a romantic relationship (or ship) between Albus/Scorpius or "Scorbus," the ship's portmanteau, is nothing new.

2018, Emily E. Roach, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Closet: Queerbaiting, Slash Shipping and The Cursed Child”, in Amanda Firestone, Leisa A. Clark, editors, Harry Potter and Convergence Culture: Essays on Fandom and the Expanding Potterverse, page 133

For years, Scorbus fans had almost no canonical information with which to base their fan works, therefore fics varied wildly in characterisation.

2019, Beatriz Brito do Nascimento, "No heteros in this heterotopia: Harry Potter slash fanfiction as heterotopian space", dissertation submitted to the University of Porto, page 98

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Scorpius Malfoy and Albus Potter of the Harry Potter franchise.


Elsanna

Ultimately, Elsanna femslash considers the repressive power of sexual taboo insofar as it can reject that power, electing instead, as Elsa's character sings in the film's coming-out scene par excellence, to "let it go."

2019, Sara K. Howe, Susan E. Cook, “Introduction: Entering the Fringe”, in Sara K. Howe, Susan E. Cook, editors, Representing Kink: Fringe Sexuality and Textuality in Literature, Digital Narrative, and Popular Culture, page 11

Fans of the show Supernatural have created digitally manipulated images of its two male leads, the Wincester brothers, in bed together (aka “Wincest”), and fan-fiction stemming from the popular children’s film Frozen (2013) casts the two sisters, Elsa and Anna, as lovers (aka “Elsanna”).

2019, Lara Karaian, “Relative Lust: Accidental Incest’s Affective and Legal Resonances”, in Law, Culture and the Humanities, volume 15, number 3, pages 8–9

While other male/male fan pairings were referred to more often than elsanna, it was the first and only female/female pairing that I came across during my search.

2021, Victor Larsen, "'It Makes Me, A Minor, Uncomfortable': Media and Morality In Anti-Shippers' Policing of Online Fandom", thesis submitted to Ghent University, page 43

(fandom slang) The incestuous ship of the fictional sisters Elsa and Anna from the Frozen franchise.

2012 June 24, que snacky, snacky (@badsnacks), Twitter

I think one of the grossest Homestuck ships is Stridercest because of the fucked-up power dynamic.

2013 June 7, godless neutrois (@the_stars_abide), Twitter

in honor of #homestuck day, i'm here to confess something: i used to be a davekat shipper except i mostly liked it as them hate dating instead of normal dating and i guess most of the fandom disagreed with me on that point. anyway, here's some fanart from 2013-2014

Hayffie

Effie/Haymitch or 'Hayffie' has been comically acknowledged by the actress Elizabeth Banks, who plays Effie, […]

2014, Nicola Balkind, Fan Phenomena: The Hunger Games, page 142

Near the end of the movie, it finally happens. As they're saying goodbye, Effie and Haymitch plant a big wet one on each other. Then, all of Panem probably rejoices. Hayffie (Haymitch + Effie) appears to be a thing.

2015 December 21, Bill Bradley, “Elizabeth Banks Drops A 'Hunger Games' Bombshell About Effie And Haymitch”, in HuffPost

With a romantic relationship between these two characters not explored within the stories, there are many fan fiction writers who choose to create one, thus creating Hayffie fan fiction.

2016, Misty Nichole Horning, "Responding to the Storyworld of The Hunger Games through a Fan Fiction Fandom", thesis submitted to the University of New Mexico, page 105

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Haymitch Abernathy and Effie Trinket from The Hunger Games series.


Patrochilles

Mainly because I want to cry and see Patrochilles in all their glory!

2018, Nkiya Machona, quoted in Curiositales, September 2018, page 82

Perhaps even more problematically for the Patrochilles naysayers, is that this ambiguity throughout Homer's original epic is really not that ambiguous.

2021, Amelia Koen, "An Olive Pit, A Lyre, A Fig", Honi Soit (University of Sydney), Week 8, Semester 2 (2021), page 19

The Twitter account Incorrect Patrochilles Quotes has over 20,000 followers and is entirely devoted to The Song of Achilles.

2021, Sarah Leidich, "From Muse To Material: The Defiance Of Homeric Identity Through Creative Adaptation", Meliora, Volume 1, Issue 1 (link)

Ronniecoln

Snamione

Pairing names are often portmanteaus of characters' names, although fans may not always agree on the forms that these amalgamations take — the Snape/Hermione ship, for example, may be called Snamione, Sevmione, Snermione or Snanger, depending on the preferences of the fans who participate in it.

2015, Amanda K. Allen, “Social Networking, Participatory Culture and the Fandom World of Harry Potter”, in Gail Ashton, editor, Medieval Afterlives in Contemporary Culture, Bloomsbury Publishing, page 279

Therefore, it is logical that the selected trope will more often be used in fics which have a non-normative ship: fandomstats relays that, within the EWE tag, some of the most prolific ships include Drarry, Dramione (Draco/Hermione, not a slash ship but still one that does not conform with Rowling’s normative ideas as it contains Draco, an antagonistic character), and ships involving Snape, including Snamione and Snarry.

2019, Beatriz Brito do Nascimento, "No heteros in this heterotopia: Harry Potter slash fanfiction as heterotopian space", dissertation submitted to the University of Porto, page 120

And the love bred a shameful number of Snamione fanfics in the coming years.

2021, Leighann Hart, “About the Author”, in Loving Rosenfeld, Crooked Hart Press, LLC

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Hermione Granger and Severus Snape of the Harry Potter series.


TatsuJun

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Tatsuya Suou and Jun Kurosu from the Persona series.

Persona 2: Innocent Sin#Setting and characters


LoVe

Blend of Logan + Veronica, as a deliberate homophone of love.

The complicated and, for fans, mostly frustrating relationship between these characters is the reason why stories dealing with Spuffy and LoVe pairings are by far more popular than stories based on any other possible ship.

2008, Manuela Scherf, "Character Formation in Fan Fiction Based on Popular TV Series, thesis submitted to the University of Vienna, page 15

“LoVe” (Logan/Veronica) was a very rapid OTP (one true pairing) candidate.

2018, Ivan Askwith, quoted in The Routledge Companion to Media Fandom (Melissa A. Click & Suzanne Scott), unnumbered page

Though all but two of my informants eventually self-identified as LoVe shippers—Eileen and Jodie were vocally opposed to the relationship, characterizing it as abusive—all were initially unwilling to involve that investment in their answers to my questions.

2018, Annemarie Navar-Gill, “Fandom as symbolic patronage: expanding understanding of fan relationships with industry through the Veronica Mars Kickstarter campaign”, in Popular Communication: The International Journal of Media and Culture, volume 16, number 3

Ineffable Husbands

From a description of the plans of God as "ineffable" in the original novel (1990) by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett.

Known as the "Ineffable Husbands," their dynamic easily lends itself to being read as queer within the initial novel as well as in the miniseries, with the pairing significantly outpacing any other Good Omens pairing on the fanfiction site Archive of Our Own.

2023, Erin Giannini, Amanda Taylor, “In the Beginning: Nice and Accurate Analyses of Good Omens”, in Amanda Taylor, Erin Giannini, editors, Deciphering Good Omens: Nice and Accurate Essays on the Novel and Television Series, page 2

Aziraphale and Crowley’s duality of personalities and complex approaches to life and morality means that you can tell almost any kind of story at almost any point in human history and find a way to shoehorn the Ineffable Husbands into the fray.

2023, Grey D. Mangan, "The Internet Isn’t Forever: Early Internet Fan Archives, Their Stewards, Lifespans, and the Political Nature of the Deaths of Their Queer Communities", thesis submitted to the University of Tennessee, page 87

Each of the fanfiction's chapters deals with an event that enables an interaction between the 'Ineffable Husbands' and allows one to observe their dynamic relationship.

2024, Ashumi Shah, The Mediaverse and Speculative Fiction Television: Understanding Speculative TV Fandoms, page 210

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Aziraphale and Crowley from the novel Good Omens and its television adaptation.

Tomarry

It's that time again where I've returned to reading Tomarry fics. It's been about 5 years since this affliction began.

2017 January 22, chi (@maydenchina), Twitter

Continuing the analyses, we move now to The Love of a Good Wizard, a Tomarry fic written by user SweetSorcery and published on AO3 in 2011.

2019, Beatriz Brito do Nascimento, "No heteros in this heterotopia: Harry Potter slash fanfiction as heterotopian space", dissertation submitted to the University of Porto, page 106

Solavellan

Solavellan just gets me thinking the what ifs, headcanons, the theories. You have to really dig deep if you wanna understand the romance.

I am a (pretty hardcore) Solavellan shipper, though I completely understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Solavellan is probably my favorite romance from a narrative sense.

(fandom slang) The ship of Solas and the female elf Inquistor player character from Dragon Age: Inquisition.
