Noelashe

Noelashe is the slash ship between Ashe Bradley and Noel Levine from the Witch's Heart fandom.

Canon
Ashe seems to be closer with Noel then anyone else in the mansion; the implied reason for this is because Noel reminds Ashe of his past self. This gives Noel and Ashe an inherent strong bond in each of the main loops where they have interacted. Ashe has also attempted to teach Noel how to cook, and nursed Noel back to health while he was unconscious. They have had a few emotional scenes together, including when Noel told Ashe about how terrible his dad was to him, when they both discovered a cat in the mansion and had a heartfelt conversation while petting it, and when Noel watched and conversed with Ashe while Ashe was drunk.

However, in the Bonus Stage Ashe attempted to murder Claire, and because of Claire's sacrifice at the end of the Bonus Stage, Noel remembered what Ashe did in Sirius' Conclusion, which caused Noel to distrust Ashe more. He semi-accidentally slaps Ashe when Ashe tries to help him. Ashe figures that Noel doesn’t like him and apologizes for not noticing. Later, Noel asked what Ashe’s wish would be if he could grant any wish. Ashe answered with a lie, saying his wish would be to be rich. Noel believed him and became extremely upset at why Ashe would brutally murder Claire so many times for such a wish. Although Noel does not say much that would indicate he was upset, Ashe sees that he is upset and apologizes profusely, despite not seeming to know why exactly he was upset.

While the mansion is vanishing at the end of Sirius' Conclusion, Ashe almost gets taken out by a falling bookcase; however, Noel jumps in to save him. Afterwards, before Ashe leaves the room, he and Noel have one last very serious discussion. Noel desperately tries to reach out to Ashe during this conversation, claiming that they're not so different. This is true, because both are trying to save the life of a girl they care a lot about: Noel's childhood best friend Claire Elford, and Ashe's little sister Lilia Bradley. After arguing back and forth for a bit, Noel vanishes with the mansion and Ashe is able to escape. When Ashe wakes up inside of the empty spot where the mansion was, he attempts to murder Claire, who is also sleeping. He ends up not being able to do so at the last minute, partially due to the influence of what Noel had told him, and his subconscious realization that Claire is very similar to Lilia. Ashe runs off, and this is the last seen of both characters in the ending.

As stated previously, Ashe and Noel are rather similar. This fact is mainly touched on in Sirius' Conclusion, because Noel isn't really aware of both of their pasts until then. One blatant similarity between them is that they both share a strong bond with a blue haired girl who they are trying to keep from dying (Claire and Lilia). With Claire, Noel tried to get her back without a single other person dying, including Ashe, despite the fact that he was the major cause of her death. Ashe, however, would do anything to get Lilia back, including murder. This is because he believes that the death of his family is his own fault for being careless, and he is so traumatized by it that he feels he must reverse it in order to ever be a complete person again.

Fanon
While many people in the Witch's heart fandom know about the Noelashe ship, not many people ship it, making the ship a bit of a rare pair. This is mainly because of the manipulative personality that Ashe has at times, as well as the strongly implied romantic feelings that Noel has for Claire. The people who do ship Noelashe ship it because of their similarities, and the strong, bittersweet dynamic that Noel and Ashe share during many parts of the Bonus Stage and Sirius' Conclusion.
