Jaaron

Jaaron is the slash ship between Aaron and Paul Rovia from the The Walking Dead fandom.

Canon
Jesus and Aaron are not seen with any interaction in season 7 or 8, they are first seen together in season 9. The two are seen walking on a road and killing a few walkers while walking. Aaron then asks Jesus if he can teach him some fighting skills. Jesus agrees to teach Aaron in a class back at the Hilltop. Later during the day, Jesus heads to the Smithsonian in Washington to search for farming equipment. But he decided to stay outside as a lookout with Aaron and a few others who came along with Jesus. Afterwards, they leave and go back to their communities. Jesus and Aaron are not shown interacting until after the six year time skip.

Jesus is riding a horse on a path in a grassy field, when he gets tackled off his horse by Aaron. Aaron reminds Jesus of a rule "always be mindful of your surroundings" after the two get up off the ground. Jesus then tells him that rule number one is actually "always remember to look up" and after Aaron looks up, Jesus attacks him. They continue to fight playfully and Aaron punches Jesus in the face accidentally. Aaron stops and asks Jesus if he was okay and apologizes to him multiple times before Jesus catches Aaron off guard and kicks him. Aaron falls to the floor and Jesus helps him up and gives him some advice on his fighting. They are then shown sitting down under a few trees while drinking water and catching up with each other. They see a flair gun go off in the distance and run over quickly together.

They find an injured Rosita and Aaron quickly asks where Eugene is. Rosita replies saying she left him at a barn and Aaron continues to question Rosita until Jesus taps him on the shoulder and points at a few walkers approaching. Jesus tells Aaron that they'll have to hope that Eugene is safe in the barn until the next day and begin making their way back to Hilltop. Jesus runs into Carol and Henry and Aaron approaches Jesus before being stopped by Daryl. Jesus is able to convince Tara to let him go with Aaron and Daryl to look for Eugene and Aaron and Jesus are seen riding on horses together at the end of the episode.

Aaron and Jesus in the next episode are shown hiding behind a tree log, looking out at a herd of walkers. Jesus turns to Aaron and asks if he'd ever seen the walkers walking around in one spot before. Aaron replies saying that he hasn't. Jesus and Aaron begin walking away along with Daryl and his dog, Dog. Jesus and Aaron are then walking in a grassy field again. They talk about Daryl and how he used go to Hilltop a lot of the time. Jesus mentions that Daryl seems to like it outside of a group. Aaron replies with "Sounds like somebody else I know." Jesus smiles and says that the whole world was theirs to rediscover. Aaron comments that it was because they were looking for people and that because of Jesus, they were able to find each other. Aaron says that Jesus would be a good leader.

Jesus and Aaron look over a herd and comment that it looks bigger than the last one they saw. They start to walk away from the herd and continue on their search for Eugene. Aaron and Jesus then arrive at a barn and start to look around for Eugene. It is dark and foggy outside now. They find a frightened Eugene hiding and realize quickly that he's injured. Eugene says that the herd wasn't normal and that it came in twice to look for him and says that the walkers were talking to each other. They find that the herd is coming towards them and Aaron and Jesus begin to evacuate the barn with Daryl and Eugene.

Aaron and Jesus arrive at a cemetery. The herd begins walking into the cemetery, Jesus and Aaron panic. They start looking for an exit when Jesus finds a gate and he can't get it open. He and Aaron start trying to get Eugene over the gate but fail and see the walkers getting closer to them. Aaron and Jesus start fighting together to kill the walkers. Michonne, Magna and Yumiko show up and start trying to get the gate open. Jesus tells Aaron to help them and that he's got it. Aaron glances at Jesus with hesitation for a moment before walking over to the gate and helping them try to get the gate open. Jesus begins making his way to the gate before he is stabbed in the chest by a Whisperer. Aaron later puts him down.

Fanon
The ship initially had no content until later seasons but the two seem to have a mutual respect for each other. In some fanworks, people write what they believe might have happened during the timeskip. The ship isn't as big as some other ships in the fandom but it had a wide fanbase still. It's typically more popular for comic book fans, given their shared panel time, and actually becoming a couple in the comics.

On AO3, Jaaron is the second most written ship for both Aaron and Jesus.
