Esperastra

Esperastra is the femslash ship between Spooner Cruz and Astra Logue from the Legends of Tomorrow fandom.

Stressed Western
As Spooner and Gary are lifting some heavy alien tech, Astra tells them to keep it down so that she can study magic. Spooner tells her to memorize nursery rhymes when they're done with the real work. Astra does a spell and sparks appear on the alien tech, causing Spooner to drop it. Spooner asks what that was supposed to do, and Astra thinks she said the spell wrong, since it didn't do what it was supposed to. They get back to lifting the tech and Astra tells them to be quieter this time.

In the old west, Astra tells Behrad if he wants to talk line dancing he should talk to Spooner. Spooner says that she was raised in Texas, not "Hee Haw". Astra doesn't know what that means, but to her it looks like Spooner's hat does. Spooner says that she had to put her alien cloaking back up, and is so far getting nothing but Gary. Nate interrupts everyone to say they need a classic legends romp, and Astra says that they'd probably find the alien quicker if Spooner wasn't afraid of her own brain. Spooner asks if Astra can mess up some Latin phrase to find it, but Nate interrupts to tell them that the two of them are going to be paired together until they become friends.

In the saloon, Astra tells Spooner to find the alien so they can get out of there, but Spooner doesn't feel anything new. Astra says that she's not going to if she keeps wearing the hat. She tries to grab it, but ends up pushing Spooner into a saloon patron.

After discovering something is wrong with the town, the Legends split up and Astra asks to be dealt in for a hand of cards. Spooner asks if this is her way of finding the alien, but Astra's just trying to get the mans gold. She admits that Spooner could be right about him being the alien, so asks her to use her powers to figure out his cards. Spooner says she can barely control her powers, and isn't gonna use them just to help Astra cheat at cards. They see the list of rules of the saloon include "no gambling" and Astra let's Spooner have a look around on her own.

After getting benched, Astra starts to comb the woods but Spooner follows her and says that her navigation skills aren't that great. Astra is angry, but Spooner says that Astra wasn't going to last a minute out in the woods alone. She asks what she's even doing out there and Astra says she's looking for gold. Spooner starts to give advice, but Astra just tells her to just focus on if the alien is near. Spooner says she's not Astra's tool, and that the Waverider could make all the gold she wants. Astra says it's not about the gold, but about showing everyone in that town that she gets what she wants. Spooner thinks that's a lot of work just to prove a point, and Astra figures Spooner would say that, but Astra has had to fight for every bit of power she's ever had. Spooner asks if Astra assumes she had it easy, and Astra says that Spooner spent all her time alone and hiding when she could have been harnessing her power. Spooner says that she was keeping her head down, and that she wasn't alone. When she lost her mom, they put her in foster care. Astra stops at that, and Spooner goes on to say that people couldn't exactly handle a kid who hears aliens all the time. Astra says that where she came from, she had to use all her power, just to tip the scales in her favor. Spooner tells her that she's not in hell, and Astra tells her that she's not in Texas. Astra asks which way they go, and Spooner starts to lead the way.

As Spooner tries to hold back the alien, she yells that she can't hold it back forever. Astra runs up and says that she's got her. She casts a spell and the monster turns to ash and the two fall to the ground.

Fanon
The ship was sparked before the two even interacted. Many fans of the ship got the idea with Spooner's casting, and thus their first interaction was much anticipated. Many found it hilarious that after all the anticipation, their first interaction was during an animated sequence where Spooner was turned into a fork. Spooner giving Astra the nickname "princess" in that scene, also made fans instantly latch onto the nickname. Many hoping that Spooner would continue calling her princess for the rest of the series.

The ship gained some slight traction when Astra seemingly flirted with Spooner in the next episode.

On AO3, Esperastra is the most written ship for Spooner.
