ZhouSu

ZhouSu is the slash ship between Zhou Yu and Lu Su from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms fandom.

Zhuge Liang's visits to Eastern Wu
Zhuge Liang suggests that they go visit Zhou Yu, who just arrived. Lu Su accepts, and soon he is thrown into the middle of a conversation about politics. Zhou Yu suggests that Sun Quan side with Cao Cao, because it is futile to think anything else would work. Zhuge Liang suggests a simpler solution: give the pair of Lady Qiao's to Cao Cao and watch his demise. Zhou Yu is inventively angry, as Younger Lady Qiao is his wife, and Lu Su points this out to Zhuge Liang while consoling Zhou Yu.

Later, Zhou Yu paces around his room and tells Lu Su about his dislike for Zhuge Liang. Lu Su respects him heavily, but also respects Zhou Yu, so he is at a loss for what to do. The next day, Zhuge Liang shows his wit and talent to Zhou Yu indirectly, only making Zhou Yu more annoyed and Lu Su more impressed. Soon, Zhou Yu comes up with a plan to get rid of Zhuge Liang - murder. Lu Su begs for Zhou Yu not to go through with his plan and tells Zhou Yu of Zhuge Liang's older brother, currently serving at Eastern Wu. Their plan to bring Zhuge Liang over to their side does not succeed, and Lu Su grows more and more annoyed with Zhou Yu.

Lu Su still shows concern for his friend. During chapter 49, when Zhou Yu falls ill, Lu Su displays extreme worry and goes to Zhuge Liang. When asked what he thinks Zhou Yu's illness means, Lu Su says, "It's a blessing for Cao Cao, but a curse fo Eastern Wu (此乃曹操之福，江东之祸也)". When Zhou Yu coughs blood and faints on a ship at sea, Lu Su is the one to suggest that he take some rest and stop caring about political matters for a while. When Zhou Yu dies, Lu Su is incredibly sad, and this is compounded by the fact that Zhou Yu left his role governor to him.

Fanon
ZhouSu's fandom presence is very small. This is mostly because of its rival ships, CeYu and QuanYu, with each of the Sun brothers. Lu Su is not a very popular character to ship to begin with. However, there are some loyal fans of this ship. It is often shipped alongside SunJin, Sun Quan x Zhuge Jin.

There are currently 19 works on A03 for this pair.
