Noah's Arc

Noah's Arc is the slash ship between Jaune Arc and Neptune Vasilias from the RWBY fandom.

Canon
Neptune and Jaune first meet in RWBY volume 2 in the chapter where everyone was at the library. Jaune is initially annoyed when he attempts to flirt with Weiss, when his own attempts had failed. This causes a slight rivalry between the two. Despite this, Jaune finds Neptune extremely cool. Later Jaune is seen about to ask Weiss to the dance when he notices her approach Neptune.

She then shyly asks Neptune if he would go to the dance with her, with Neptune awkwardly scratching his head. This devastates Jaune and leaves before he can hear Neptune give her his answer. Later, at the dance Jaune finds out through Ruby that Neptune had rejected Weiss. Jaune is offended by this since he feels Neptune hurt Weiss. Jaune and Neptune talk and Neptune reveals that he actually can't dance, and his cool and confident personality is actually just a facade he uses to hide his flaws and insecurities.

Jaune is initially shocked that Neptune couldn't dance and that he would go to such great lengths to hide that fact. Neptune then tells Jaune if he likes Weiss he can have her. Jaune then gives Neptune some advice, and tells him to just be himself. Neptune then thanks Jaune and calls him cool. He then later on tells Weiss that she has some pretty good friends looking out for her, refering to Jaune.

Fanon
During a Q&A Miles Luna (Jaune's VA and one of RWBY's lead creators) was asked about male romantic partners for Jaune, and he said that he thought Neptune and Jaune would work very well as a couple. This brought the ship to a lot of people's minds for the first time, when previously it had been more of a rarepair. Some people like the encouraging dynamic between the two. It has a small fanbase on tumblr. Although it has quite a bit in popularity over the years.
