TarteMargarine is the het ship between Tarte-Tatin Cookie and Royal Margarine Cookie from the Cookie Run fandom.

Canon
In the events of Legend of the Red-Dragon Update, Tarte-Tatin Cookie prepares for the Dragon-Hunt that will happen for only one reason, to defeat the ‘Red-Dragon.’ She hosts a gathering to form a Raid-Party. HollyBerry Cookie, Pitaya Dragon Cookie and Royal Margarine Cookie decide to attend the gathering. During it, Tarte-Tatin Cookie and Royal Margarine Cookie have a small interaction discussing, why he thinks Dragon Hunters ‘Do what they do.’ Following the gathering, the Red-Dragon attacks Dragon-City in the middle of the night, killing almost half of the Raid Party. Tarte-Tatin Cookie vows to seek vengeance on the Dragon, and decides she wants to go to The Valley on her own, but HollyBerry Cookie, Pitaya Dragon Cookie and Royal Margarine Cookie decide to travel to the Dragon's Valley with her (because of their own reasons), and they soon formed the new ; Dragon-Raid Party.

When the Dragon-Raid Party confront the Red-Dragon, Tarte-Tatin Cookie suffers significant injuries and can no longer fight. Royal Margarine Cookie distracts the Dragon and lures it away from the Party so they can take cover. After a few minutes, Royal Margarine joins the Raid Party in a nearby cave, worried about Tarte-Tatin Cookie's condition and even asks if ‘she is alright.” After a small conversation, HollyBerry Cookie and Pitaya Dragon Cookie decide to check out noises coming from within the cave. Royal Margarine Cookie is left behind with Tarte-Tatin Cookie while the other two went deeper into the cave to investigate.

Fanon
TarteMargarine is possibly considered one of the most unpopular ships in the fandom since it has been overshadowed by the more popular Oystatin, which revolves around the same character Tarte-Tatin Cookie. Despite its lack of attention TarteMargarine has gained a small bit of popularity due to its unique dynamic of Dragon Hunter and Dragon Rider.

Dragon Hunter and Dragon Rider are two completely different occupations in Dragon City, with Dragon Hunters tasked with hunting and capturing dragons for various purposes while Dragon Riders tame and ride Wyverns. The striking contrast between their roles is what many fans have come to appreciate about TarteMargarine

It is also worth noting that TarteMargarine was created by @1Sock1_, a Twitter user who is known as 'TarteMargarine's Biggest Supporter.' The creator's dedication and passion for this ship has helped it gain more recognition.

Fandom
A significant portion of the Legend of the Red Dragon fan community rejects the idea of TarteMargarine, though it is that way @1Sock1_ has persisted in pushing the ship, submitting it as a candidate for @crshipofthehour and @Cookie_anything on multiple occasions.

Most detractors believe that Royal Margarine Cookie is homosexual and Tarte-Tatin is lesbian, which creates fundamental conflict in the dynamic between the two. Despite these objections, fans of the ship are undeterred, claiming that it is a viable alternative to other cookie relationships.

TarteMargarine Shippers assume when Pitaya Dragon Cookie and Hollyberry Cookie went to investigate the noises deep within the cave, Royal Margarine Cookie comforted and reassured Tarte-Tatin that she was not "holding them back" and that she was the real reason they started the raid. The cave eventually collapsed making Royal Margarine Cookie to go out of his way to protect Tarte-Tatin when the situation turned dire.

Even with some shipper’s unwavering determination to make TarteMargarine a prominent ship in the Cookie Run community, it remains contentious and unpopular among a large percentage of the fanbase.
