Farquiona

Farquiona is the het ship between Lord Farquaad and Princess Fiona from the Shrek fandom.

Shrek
Fiona is first mentioned when Farquaad brings in the stolen Magic Mirror to find a bride and become king. The Magic Mirror decides to play matchmaker and presents three available maidens across the kingdom: Cinderella, Snow White and Princess Fiona. Farquaad listens intendly at all three, but when most of his men root for Snow White, Farquaad is clearly taken in by Princess Fiona and overrules all of them. However, he doesn't care when the mirror warns him about Fiona's curse, showcasing that he'll be happy with a pretty wife and the crown and not caring about her otherwise.

The next day, Farquaad holds a tournament to decide which one of his men is strong enough to go to Dragon's Keep in his place. As Shrek arrives, he initially orders his men to kill him, but then gets the idea of recruiting him for this mission as soon as he sees Shrek fight and defeat all of his men with hardly much effort. Shrek complies, but only when Farquaad agrees to clean his swamp from all the fairy tale creatures who found refuge in it after Farquaad chased them away from "his" land.

Upon rescuing Princess Fiona and revealing that her knight in shining armor is an ogre, Fiona gets upset. Shrek tells her that he rescued her on Lord Farquaad's orders, Fiona questions him why Farquaad didn't just come himself. After Shrek admits that it's a good question, Fiona orders Shrek to tell Farquaad that she will wait for him right where she is, but Shrek has none of that and just carries her against her will for a chunk of the way. As Fiona calms down a bit, she asks Shrek and his companion Donkey what Lord Farquaad is like, clearly not giving up hope that he's the knight in shining armor she had dreamed off. Shrek and Donkey respond by making jokes about his height, but never outright telling her that Farquaad is short.

Meanwhile at Castle Duloc, as the heroes have taken a rest for the night, Lord Farquaad is in bed with the Magic Mirror showing him a picture of Fiona at the end of it. Farquaad gets suspiciously excited about seeing her, to point where even the mirror is disgusted.

As the journey continues, Fiona and Shrek start to bond and frollic around in the fields as they get closer to Duloc, deciding to take a rest in an abandoned mill. As Donkey pushes the two to confess their love to one another, he finds out that Fiona's curse is that she takes an ogre's form every night. She's so ashamed of it that she clamors onto a small hope that a handsome man will fall in love with her during the day and break the curse with Love's First Kiss, she hopes said handsome man is Farquaad. As Shrek finally works up the confidence to make a move towards Fiona, he overhears her talking about how hideous she feels as an ogre, which Shrek assumes is directed at him. Heartbroken, Shrek runs to Duloc and informs Farquaad of Fiona's location, being through with her and Donkey.

Farquaad arrives at the mill on the next day, with Fiona turning back into a human before she could tell Shrek about her curse. Farquaad reveals himself to Fiona on a high horse with the shiniest armor he has, Fiona does not mention his height when he gets off the horse. Due to a mutual misunderstanding, Fiona rubs her choice to go with Farquaad into Shrek's face, though she's clearly not sure if she'll be happy with Farquaad. She tells Farquaad that they should get married today, before sunset, which Farquaad embraces.

In the wedding dress Farquaad made for her (before even knowing she'd say yes), Fiona gets increasingly nervous about the time and whether she made the right choice. Right before Fiona and Farquaad could seal their union with a kiss, Shrek barges in after Donkey tells him that Fiona wasn't talking about him that night. Farquaad tells Fiona to ignore Shrek and finally kiss him, but that only makes her more reluctant and willing to hear Shrek out. Shrek confesses his love to Fiona, which causes Farquaad and Duloc to laugh at him. But Shrek also reveals that Farquaad doesn't care about her, he only ever married her for the crown. Fiona seems shocked, but Shrek's words are confirmed when sunset breaks and Fiona turns into an ogre in front of anyone. Farquaad becomes hostile to her almost immediately, orders for Shrek to be arrested and holds Fiona at knifepoint telling her that he'll lock her up forever. He then completely loses his mind, grabbing the crown before the coronation and declaring himself king despite Fiona never kissing him. Farquaad's tirade is interrupted by Donkey riding the Dragon and letting her eat him alive. Shrek ends up giving Fiona her Love's First Kiss, which locks Fiona into her ogre form permanently. But Shrek calling her beautiful despite that convinces her that she'll be happy marrying him.

Fanon
Farquiona is a very unpopular ship in the fandom. Some only support it as a "What If?" scenario, exploring how Fiona's life would've turned out had Farquaad given her Love's First Kiss instead of Shrek.
