Letrick

Letrick is the slash ship between Leon Kennedy and Patrick from the Resident Evil fandom.

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness
Leon and Patrick have brief interaction with each other for the most part. Patrick considers Leon as just a “lucky man”.

In 2006, a hacking incident occurs on a top secret White House file. Patrick is invited to the White House to investigate the incident with the investigation overseen by President Graham himself, his Chief of Staff, Ryan and his Defense Secretary, Wilson. The meeting takes place in the Oval Office without Leon due to him responding to a recent terrorist incident in Pittsburgh.

The power goes out and when the back-ups fail to turn on, and it becomes clear the mole from the previous night is still in the White House. Patrick runs into Press Secretary Spacer, who has been mauled by an unidentified assailant. When he goes into cardiac arrest, Patrick prepares to resuscitate him only for Spacer to wake up and attack him. He is unprepared and is almost bitten when Leon suddenly shoots him. Patrick thanks Leon and Leon asks him if he is alright. He pats Patrick’s shoulder to calm him down, before Patrick is sent down into the bunker as Graham’s protection, while Metro SWAT are called in as back up just in case. Patrick tells Leon to be careful and Leon nods. He and Leon are seen walking out together in front of White House, seemingly getting along.

Sometime later, while in the stage of preparing for the conference, Patrick receives a call from Leon telling him about their recent discovery and even he is confused at first. Patrick was told Leon was dead in the submarine while going to Shanghai, though after hearing what Leon had said, he did as asked with his trust in leon. As the president approaches the podium ready to give his speech, Patrick stops and informs him of Wilson’s involvement, resulting in him standing aside. President Graham speaks of his adoration of the Penamstani people for laying down their arms in search of a better future.

Patrick catches up to Leon and pats his shoulder, commending him for his survival in the submarine and the underground research facility. He further praises Leon for having saved everyone with him helping the president steering the country into the right path. He also tells Leon that he was “just lucky”. They stand near the runway, looking at the president’s jet with sunset behind them. Leon looks at Patrick and smiles, deciding to hang out after that.

Fanon
Letrick is a rair pair within the Resident Evil fandom. When Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness was first released in 2021, the ship was incredibly small. This could mainly be in part to the mixed reception of the series and how Leon and Patrick do not interact nearly enough. Patrick is a one-off character from a non-game release, while Leon has been a major character through the series’ 20+ years, with multiple more prominent ships with him. Letrick has grown in popularity in the following years, gaining dedicated shippers as they do share chemistry with each other.
