Ian x Erin

Ian x Erin is the het ship between Ian McKinley and Erin Ulmer from the Final Destination fandom.

Canon
Ian and Erin were both students of McKinley High School in McKinley High School. They were also co-workers at 'Built it'. They began dating prior to the events of the film. Both of them went on a senior class field trip to a carnival. While there, they decided to board the carnival's Devil's Flight roller-coaster. However, before the ride began, fellow classmate Wendy began having a vision where the ride malfunctioned, killing everyone on board. When she began panicking, Lewis began mocking her, resulting in a fight between him and Kevin. However, Lewis accidentally slapped Erin, resulting in Ian joining in on the fight. This resulted in Ian, Erin, Kevin and Lewis being forced off the ride, and fellow classmates Perry, Ashley, Ashlyn, and Frankie, and Wendy's sister Julie leaving the ride. Shortly after they left, the ride began. It soon malfunctioned, resulting in the deaths of everyone on board.

After Ian and Erin returned to school, they began signing yearbooks. They noticed Ashley and Ashlyn offering Erin to join them at a tanning salon, and laughed. Following Ashley and Ashlyn's death at the tanning salon, Ian, Erin and the rest of the survivors attended their funeral. While there, Ian made a scene with the minister after taking issue with the minister's words. Erin attempted to restrain him to no avail. He was then taken to a car by Kevin and Lewis.

By then, Wendy and Kevin had realised that Ian and Erin were the next on Death's list. They then showed up at 'Build It' while Ian and Erin were working to try and warn them. However, both Ian and Erin strongly doubted their claims, and refused to take their warnings seriously. Ian then stated that the person who was on the last on the list should take their own life to ruin Death's plan and save everyone else. Soon after, a piece of plywood nearly fell on him. However, Wendy saved him before the plywood could impale him. This resulted in Death skipping him and instead going after Erin, who was shot in the back of the head by a nail gun. A devastated Ian began resenting Wendy, blaming her for Erin's death. This eventually led to his attempt at Wendy's life in order to save everyone, which would result in his death.
