Fairy Godmerlin

Fairy Godmerlin is the het ship between the Fairy Godmother and Merlin from the Cinderella and The Sword in the Stone fandoms.

Canon
Merlin and the Fairy Godmother are both caretakers of the younger protagonists of their movies, Arthur and Cinderella. They seem to be a bit scatterbrained about the mundane world, but are very talented in magic. Both use magic to improve the lives of their protegés, the Fairy Godmother creates a new dress and a carriage for Cinderella to attend the ball after her stepfamily prevented her doing so by tearing her late mother's dress apart, Merlin helps Arthur with his chores which his foster-family kept piling up on him.

Their designs have a lot of similarities, both wear blue robes and have white hair, indicating their age. Additionally, Merlin was said to be a trusted friend of King Uther (Arthur's father), while the Fairy Godmother was Cinderella's actual godmother in the Perrault fairy tale, meaning she was a friend of Cinderella's father too.

Kingdom Hearts
Merlin and the Fairy Godmother were asked by King Mickey to aid Sora, Donald and Goofy on their journey, by teaching them magic and unlocking summons they find. They reside in a house in Traverse Town during the first game, Fairy Godmother was traveling in small copy of Cinderella's carriage until Merlin unpacked his bags and made sure that the trio meet the other magical person who will be aiding them. The two continue to work together for the rest of the series, and are shown to be acquainted with Yen Sid. Who is also an elderly blue robbed user of magic, who aids the main heroes of the KH series.

After Sora disappeared, Merlin and the Fairy Godmother helped in the search, while having no such luck as they aided Yen Sid on their ends. When Merlin and Yen Sid learned about the dreams Riku had been having of late, they asked the Fairy Godmother to seek Riku out. With her specialising in dreams and knew that she may know the reason for them, and to see if Riku's dreams do hold the key to finding Sora.

Disney: Dreamlight Valley
The Fairy Godmother mentions having a lot of "catching up" to do with Merlin once the player frees her. Further quests reveal that she and Merlin are old friends and often meet up for tea.

Fanon
As far as crossover ships involving older Disney characters go, Merlin and the Godmother are a somewhat well-liked pairing in manips. Most of these seem to ship Arthur with Cinderella side-by-side. Some people also ship their live-action counterparts, either using their Once Upon A Time variants or the variants from BBC Merlin and the 2015 remake of Cinderella.

Some even headcanoned that the Fairy Godmother's real name is "Nimue" (the fairy of Arthurian Myth destined to mutually fall in love with Merlin).

Dreamlight Valley fans adore them together, many have confessed to moving Merlin's library right next to the Fairy Godmother's house. This seems to be a common practice among fans of the game, with official couples living in separate houses, such as Eriel and MickMinn, often receiving the same treatment. Some see their relationship with the player as parental, thus inspiring the community to refer to them as their parents or grandparents. Due to the game being Early Access (bugs being frequent), Merlin and the Fairy Godmother's character models sometimes phase into one another, making fans joke about them "fusing" in their spare time.
