Firestorm

"Don't mess up that pretty face, Phoenix."

- Jett, when the round starts.

Firestorm is the het ship between Phoenix and Jett from the VALORANT fandom.

Canon
The two are fellow agents of the VALORANT Protocol and were likely recruited either very close together in time or at the same time. As Phoenix's Agent number is '09' and Jett is '10' which implies that Jett joined right after him. They share an outgoing and reckless personality and are shown to be good friends. Jett frequently calls Phoenix "pretty boy" and actively cheers and believes in him despite the odds. She seems especially fond of him over other agents. Their close friendship is shown as they have many inside jokes with each other. Jett claims that if she dies, Phoenix is to give her a "viking funeral" and that if Phoenix were to die, she gets dibs on his jacket. Phoenix replies in a teasing tone that he knows she wants his shoes too.

It's unclear when the events in the Duelists cinematic occurs, but it was likely before the two started working together in VALORANT, as Phoenix didn't seem to recognize his opponent. However, in that cinematic, Alpha Earth Phoenix duels Jett and tries to stop her from planting the spike. The two manage to nick each other slightly but Phoenix is ultimately outsmarted by his opponent and gets shot. It's unclear how his encounter with Jett's mirror has affected their relationship, as it is known that Alpha Earth Jett got blamed for the Venice incident despite it not being her fault.

In the Warm Up cinematic, Phoenix 1v1's Maxbot, and Yoru makes a bet that the bot will win. Jett retaliates by putting her faith into Phoenix and betting on him winning. Despite Phoenix losing and costing Jett's creds, she persists with continued faith in him and keeps betting on his victory. Phoenix and Jett end up fighting Maxbot together as a team with Sova, Raze, and Killjoy; in a demonstration of their teamwork, Phoenix creates a wall of fire to cover Jett's updraft and attacks from above.

Upon killing each other's mirrors in battle, they both apologize. Jett calls Phoenix a "pretty boy" again in her version of the voice line.

Fanon
Firestorm is the most popular ship for both agents and is widely regarded as one of the few "canon" ships in VALORANT due to both being the "poster child" of RIOT and being the few characters who seem to genuinely like each other. However, their romance has never been confirmed and the voice lines could be interpreted as friendly flirting between friends.

Fanworks of them are often light-hearted and they're portrayed as best friends who just so happen to date each other as well. Jett is usually the one who is in love and Phoenix is oblivious to her flirting.
