SuleMio

SuleMio is the femslash ship between Suletta Mercury and Miorine Rembran from the Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury fandom.

Canon
Suletta is instantly drawn to Miorine Rembran as soon as they meet. Miorine is the daughter of Beneritt group leader, Delling Rembran, the same man who, unbeknownst to Suletta, is responsible for her childhood trauma. When Suletta and Miorine meet for the first time, they crash into each other in space when Miorine discovers that Suletta appears to be attempting to escape from Asticassia. Their relationship only deepens when Suletta finds out that Miorine has been forced to be engaged to Guel Jeturk, the top of his class in the school-sanctioned duels. And since Miorine’s father is the head of Asticassia’s school board, the title grants him Miorine’s hand in an arranged marriage that may combine the political powers of not only Delling’s status in the Beneritt group with one of their most influential companies, Jeturk Heavy Machinery Guels father Vim. Much to Suletta’s shock and eventual frustration, Guel treats his relationship with Miorine as expendable and transactional, and over her status as heirs to the power of the Beneritt group, more than anything romantic. This forced relationship are the reason why Miorine attempted to escape from Asticassia repeatedly. Discovering that she accidentally hindered this by “rescuing” Miorine at the beginning of the episode, Suletta immediately jumps to Miorine’s aid and challenges Guel to a Mobile Suit duel.

Although Miorine tries to take control of her future by filling in for Suletta in a duel, even going so far as to take down Suletta’s suit (who is the Gundam Aerial), the tide quickly turns against Guel when Suletta rushes over to help. Miorine lets her pilot Aerial. Suletta instantly accesses Aerial’s powerful core technology, which allows her to quickly overwhelm Guel’s own mecha with a remote drone attack. Winning the duel, Suletta learns that she now holds the title of Asticassia’s Holder and with it, Miorine’s hand in marriage, as the two of them are now engaged to one another. Although Suletta is initially shocked at Miorine's marriage proposal, it is revealed that she is attracted to Miorine throughout the episode, and Miorine accepts her “groom” regardless of her gender, as she says so.

After this, the two of them become extremely close, and they work united against Miorine's father's political capitalism and Suletta's childhood trauma cause. Miorine proves how much Suletta means to her when she chooses to sacrifice her perfect opportunity to escape to Earth, one of her biggest desires, to protect Suletta and confront her dad, challenging him to a duel, where, if she wins, he'll have to accept Suletta as Miorine's fiance.

Fanon
quickly became one of the most popular ships within the Gundam series fandom. Fans of the new series have been supportive of Gundam's evolution, especially in the series' treatment of queer relationships. Fans of the ship loved how well developed and constructed the two characters' relationship was and they cite their devotion and care to one another as one the things they love most about the ship.

According to Anime Trending, since its debut in October, fans have consistently voted  as the top "couple-ship" in anime. So much so that in the first week of December 2022, anime fans chose them as the most popular couple of all anime, beating out such famous couples as Bleach's couple, Ichigo and Orihime, and Spy x Family's Loid and Yor Forger.
