EllLeo

EllLeo is the slash ship between Elliot Nightray and Leo from the Pandora Hearts fandom.

Canon
Elliot and Leo first met two years before canon. Leo had been living in The House of Fianna, an orphanage run by the Nightray family. Elliot had run into Leo on one of his trips down and took an interest in him.

After some time of knowing each other, Elliot asked Leo to be his servant. Leo had no interest and immediately refused. However, Leo did end up agreeing as long as Elliot would buy him a pair of glasses and he was interested in the Nightray library. Despite their relationship starting out as servant and master, that type of relationship didn’t last.

Leo was the first person Elliot looked to as a friend. Despite the elder Nightray siblings looking down on it, Elliot treated Leo as an equal instead of a servant. Leo never fully fell into the role of servant and also looked to Elliot as a friend. To keep up appearances, Leo would still act like a servant in public.

While Elliot and Leo tend to argue and disagree, they do share a deep friendship. They both play piano and compose music. They are both interested in books. Extras have shown they usually read the same book and tend to have very differing opinions. Once because Leo knew who the author was and didn't need to form an opinion. Most of there arguments are from issues like this and tend to be very childish.

Humpty Dumpty’s contract to Elliot was an accident. Elliot believed he had to protect Leo from a chain but was attacked and nearly killed. Leo panicked and was unsure of what to do and wasn’t sure if it was even possible. His panic led him to listen to the other Glens and forced the illegal contract on Elliot. He managed to save him from the fatal wound.

Leo was protective over Elliot, although he isn't shown physically protecting him. He saves Elliot from death and has taken the blame for his mishbehavior and anger on multiple occasions. Despite this, he is not afraid to hurt Elliot when his own anger finally gets the best of him. He is once shown throwing both a chair and table at him.

Elliot became extremely protective over Leo. He even jumped in front of Leo to protect him from B-Rabbit. While this was normal for Elliot, the influence of Humpty Dumpty made it worse. Instead of defending Leo like normal, Elliot began to unknowingly kill those who were any threat to Leo. In the end, Elliot still cared for Leo without the influence of Humpty Dumpty. His last words were directed at Leo. "I'm sorry, Leo."

After Elliot’s death, Leo snapped. Instead of seeking help or closure, Leo was filled with guilt and self hatred. He went on a path of self destruction as he no longer had Elliot by his side. He starts to believe Elliot would be better off if he (Leo) had never been born, not thinking of what Elliot's opinion would be on this.

Fanon
EllLeo is the most popular ship within the Pandora Hearts fandom. Elliot and Leo are believed to have the most chemistry of any other pairings. Years ago while the manga was ongoing, there was a rumor that Elliot and Leo were originally going to be a couple. Confirmation on this either never existed or has since been deleted. It's even hard to locate the posts with the origin of the rumors.

Elliot and Leo are believed to be made for each other. Elliot's astrological sign being a Leo is a "fact" that is used to prove this. Jun Mochizuki has shown they function better together and shippers took this as romance. This led to a lot of small actions being assumed as romance, even taking the smallest panels and analyzing them.

Rarely is anyone added in for the pairing of EllLeo. If ever, it is usually Oz. He's in official arts with the three so he gets included with the friend group in both fanarts and fanfictions. He doesn't interfere with the couple and appears as a friend. Very rarely, for angst purposes, one of the previous Glens will be added in.
