Arasol

Arasol is the het ship between Aradia Megido and Sollux Captor from the Homestuck fandom.

Canon
Aradia and Sollux are implied to have been close for a lot of their lives. Vriska calls Sollux Aradia's "8oyfriend", but given the kind of person she is it's unclear whether this is a reliable description. In Act 5 Act 1, it is revealed that Sollux was the one to kill Aradia under mind control. Despite this, she continues to converse with him as a ghost. Although Sollux is frustrated about her loss of emotion, they remain friends and work together to set up the Sgrub game. Aradia states that she would like it if Sollux was happy, and he thanks her for saying so.

As Aradiabot, right before she explodes, Aradia takes her last few minutes reassuring Sollux, apologizing for not talking to him much, and giving him a hug. Sollux was distraught about her "death". After Sollux is blinded and left half-ghost and Aradia is reborn as god tier, they stay together. They worked together on Vriska's ship, but Sollux left a bit after and Aradia chose to stay; they agreed to catch up afterwards. They are seen holding hands in [S] Collide, implying that they did in fact catch up.

They can be seen drawn on both of Nepeta's shipping walls, and she apparently wondered whether they were in a flushed or pale relationship.

Fanon
Arasol is a very popular ship in fanon. Fans tend to write them as either matesprits or moirails. In fanfiction, they are often portrayed as a background couple. Alternatively, they are used for angst about the circumstances of Aradia's death and Sollux's guilt about it. They are also sometimes paired in an OT3 with Eridan or Feferi, due to the popularity of Solfef and Erisol.

On AO3, Arasol has gained over 1190 fanfics. It is third most written ship for Sollux Captor and first most written ship for Aradia Megido. On Tumblr, Arasol tag has currently over 1700 followers.
