Arouxie

Arouxie is the friend ship between Douxie Casperan and Archie from the Tales of Arcadia fandom.

Canon
Due to Douxie being Archie's bonded wizard, the dragon form cat serves as the young wizard's familiar. As he looks out for Douxie and helps him when he can. Like when they were living on the street and used their magical abilities to at buy, but King Arthur's cruel no magic law forces them to keep their abilities a secret to avoid the King's wraith. When one of the King's knights uncovered them being a wielder and creature of magic and were at their mercy, Merlin manages to save their lives by making Douxie his apprentice and giving the two a home in the castle; as well as protection from Arthur's law. During those days the two still found time to hang out with one another as Archie kept Douxie company when he does his task chores for Merlin. After Merlin's battle with Morgana forces Douxie's teacher to place himself in a deep death-like slumber, Archie took it upon himself to over see the rest of Douxie's magic lessons. By giving Douxie advice on which spells he should use, how they work, makes sure that Douxie doesn't get careless and that the young wizard makes wise decisions.

Despite the two being from the mid-12th century their bodies haven't aged and the tasks Merlin left for Douxie has the two leaving Camelot. Some time around the 21st century they came across Arcadia Oaks and made the small town their new home. During night hours, the two work together to keep its streets safe from magical threats, since magic (as well as aliens) is drawn to Arcadia. During one of their portal night, where Douxie has Archie serve as bate to draw unfriendly creatures out into the open, Merlin contacts the two and tasks them to find the Guardians of Arcadia. Douxie has Archie find Toby, Steve and AAARRRGGHH!!!, while he tries to find the changelings and aliens; but failed to do so before he goes to the book shop he works at to wait for Archie. Once Merlin took them to the safety of the floating castle of Camelot, the two were glad to see their former home again before Merlin informs all of them the danger of the Arcane Order and their mysteries Green Knight who bares Camelot's embalmer. Douxie's master had made plans to take them to the safety of the past, but before they could the Arcane Order attacks them and Douxie is sent into the past with Jim, Claire and Steve; while Archie stays behind in the present wonder when in time Douxie was sent to.

The past timeline Douxie was sent to was during his student days with Merlin and before the Battle of Killahead Bridge. Knowing that he'll need help to get himself and the others back to the future, Douxie seeks the help of past Archie.

Fanon
Fans love the bond that Douxie shares with Archie; and that is why some add Archie in their Zouxie and other ship related fanart that involves around Douxie. Before Wizards aired, some had suspected Archie being Douxie's familiar when they combined it with their theories of Douxie being a wizard. After fans learned about the upcoming film, Rise of the Titans, they became to wonder if it might show them how Douxie and Archie met.

Some fanart of the friendship ship despites Archie with child Douxie, due to the theories of the two meeting one another when Douxie was young. Since Douxie stated in "Witch Hunt" that Archie is the closes thing he has to family (before he met Merlin) and the fact that the two act like brothers and are there for each other in times of need. After Wizards ended, fans began to draw fanart of the two with Nari, as they imagine what their new lives with her would be like. Along with some comparing them to Sabrina and Salam, since they too are a young student of magic and a talking black cat who helps his young magic wielding friend.

On AO3, the friendship ship has 65 fanfics. There are also many fanart and gifs of the two together on Tumblr and DeviantArt.
