Marper

Marper is the het ship between Monty and Harper from The 100 fandom.

Canon
MOUNT WEATHER

Harper and Monty are in the same friend group with Jasper and Zoe and other delinquents, though they do not specifically spend time together just the two of them. Their relationship changes when they are prisoners at Mount Weather and the two of them, along with Miller and Jasper, try to plan their escape and revolt against their captors. Harper is abducted to undergo bone marrow extraction and the group is horrified when they find she's missing. Monty gets captured and put in a cage with the others who are used for extraction and is placed next to a sick Harper. Monty later has to watch as Dr. Tsing continues to perform the extraction on Harper and he begs her to stop.

Jasper manages to stop it and they return to their sleeping quarters with an ailing Harper, whom Monty cares for as she rests. Guards later return to take Harper for another extraction and Monty fights them, but to no avail. Once Clarke saves everyone, Monty and Harper are reunited.

CONFLICTS

When Monty briefly chooses Pike's side as his mother returns, Harper finds it difficult to trust him again. After a while they make amends and Harper decides to make a move and kisses Monty, who insecurely suspects she's taken the chip. Harper assures him she hasn't and they sleep together for the first time. They keep it casual, but care about each other. A chipped Jasper threatens Harper's life under the influence of A.L.I.E. at one point, but is stopped before he can harm Harper.

RELATIONSHIP

Monty and Harper continue their sexual relationship, but Harper tries to say that she's OK with them not being serious, although it's evident she would like that. Monty objects and they start a relationship and form a strong bond in the face of all the horror they are subjected to. Their relationship is put to the test when Harper slowly becomes disenfranchised with all the death and loss they encounter and she becomes depressive. Monty tries everything he can to assuage Harper, staying optimistic about their future in spite of the looming Praimfaya. Harper can't seem to see a way ahead and gravitates towards Jasper's plan to kill themselves before Praimfaya does, seemingly having lost all hope.

Although Harper pushes Monty away and effectively tells him to stop helping her, he never relents and continues to try and sway both her and Jasper to not give up hope that there is salvation. At great risk, Monty stays at Arkadia to have a chance to bring Harper with him before it's too late and as she gets sick from the encroaching radiation, she resigns to come with Monty and they reconcile, with Harper still sad and greatly affected by her depression.

BECCA'S LAB

Fanon
Marper is a common pairing in the fandom. It is the relationship with the most longevity on the series, but maybe not as popular as it could be due to the characters' and the relationship's limited screen time compared to other relationships (gen or otherwise) on the series. All the same it is a fan favourite ship and the characters are universally liked in the fandom.
