Dylance is the non-binary ship between Dylan Hunt and Trance Gemini from the Andromeda fandom.

Canon
Dylan is the captain of the warship, Andromeda, and Trance is a mysterious Alien who works as a Doctor on the rescue ship Eureka Maru and, in an unusual way, when they first met, they were on opposite sides.

After being betrayed in battle, Dylan's ship ended up trapped in the orbit of a black hole and he was frozen in time.

300 years later, Trance was part of the rescue team that mercenaries hired to tow the ship to sell.

With the group's efforts to get the ship out of the black hole, the captain of his state of hibernation and thus he had to fight the mercenaries for his life and his ship.

Although everyone on Maru's crew was in conflict over what the mercenaries were doing, Trance was the first to oppose and be on Dylan's side, resign from work and insist that they return the ship to the true captain.

But the leader of the mercenaries, attacked her as a rebuke for her disobeying him and Trance ended up seriously wounded while Dylan watched through the ship's surveillance cameras, full of anger and sadness for not being able to do anything for her in this situation.

Hours later, after many fights, the leader of the mercenaries, predicting his own defeat, betrayed his allies and contractors by directing Andromeda back to the black hole to be destroyed.

Dylan revealed himself to the others saying he had a plan and Trance convinced everyone to follow his leadship so that they could survive.

With the obstacle overcome and the mercenaries defeated, Dylan asked all survivors to become part of his crew and help him return order and peace to the universe. Trance accepted saying "it could be fun".

The relationship between Trance and Dylan has grown and evolved a lot over the seasons, to the point of becoming one of the most - if not the most - important of the show.

He has always been curious and impressed by Trance's mysterious and enigmatic personality and the secrets she hides.

While Trance has always shown an unwavering faith in Dylan and his sense of justice, showing over and over that she would be by his side no matter what.

In the first season, with young Trance being someone Dylan could count on to calm people down and create unusual allies, find clues and secrets like a spy or distract enemies with her hyperactive personality. As well as being beside him to give the best advice at decisive moments.

Just like she could always count on Dylan to do the right thing and be the hero she expects for every situation and the one who was always there for her to take care of her and cheer her up as she was down-and-over.

In the second season, with Trance unexpectedly getting older, the dynamic changed, Dylan had to get used to Trance's new personality and appearance while frustrated with all the secrets she kept.

And she had to prove herself to regain his trust and the rest of the crew while trying to keep what she know only for herself.

Angst was common among them, doubts and suspicion always arose in their conversations, but with time and a lot of missions together, they managed to get closer and realize that they are fighting for the same goal and that is what matters.

In the third season, the dynamic returned to some kind of normal, since Dylan accepted that her secrets didn't matter more than their connection and learned to respect her limits, in the same way that Trance was more open to revealing some small details about herself.

Only for the relationship to be shaken once again when, in a battle, Trance people decide to collaborate with the enemy and Trance, in conflict, ends up not being able to choose a side and completely abstaining with the excuse that she feels sick.

After winning the battle, Dylan goes to see how Trance feels and they have a terrible argument.

He is hurt because she did not choose his side in this battle and she is frustrated for not being able to explain why going against her people is so hard.

In the fourth season, the dynamics changed again when Trance finally revealed her secrets to Dylan - and only him - so that they could both save the rest of the crew and the ship together.

With full knowledge of her real nature, Dylan became more confident in their relationship and made him extremely protective for Trance.

Just as she tried to keep him safe at all costs since the oracle says Trance is the guide Dylan needs to reach his destiny.

So they became confidants of each other, always talking to each other in times of insecurity to share support for each new challenge and exchanging glances when difficult decisions needed to be made.

At the end of the fourth season, being in yet another difficult situation and an impossible battle to win, Trance convinced Dylan that leaving her behind was the only way to win the big war that was to come.

They shared a soft goodbye kiss, wishing to meet again somewhere in the future.

And while Dylan escaped through the portal between universes, Trance flew in a kamikaze attack to destroy the entire enemy fleet at once.

In the fifth and final season, they meet again, but Trance has lost her memory and control of her powers and now, with the roles switched, Dylan is the one who guides her as they search for answers and a way out of it solar system disconnected from the rest of the universe.

During this season it is revealed that Dylan is Trance's Protector, the title for the special connection that beings of the Trance species create with other individuals, making the relationship and devotion for each other much stronger. Which explains their connection that they have had since the beginning

At the end of the season, Trance people ally themselves with Dylan's worst enemy, and this time, Trance chooses to side with him and disown the orders of her people.
