LauKi

Lauki is the het ship between Lauren Sinclair and Kieran White from the Purple Hyacinth fandom.

Canon
Lauren and Kieran are the protagonist and deuteragonist of Purple Hyacinth. LauKi is the most important and frequently appeared relationship in Purple Hyacinth, they're partnership is usually used to move the plot and develop characters. Through their relationship, the creators tackle themes such as: trust, trauma, humanity and many more.

At first, their relationship is only a partnership for Lauren to gain information on the Phantom Scythe that the police aren't able to find and vice versa for Kieran, but throughout the course of the series it gradually gets more complicated than that. They start to reveal things about themselves to only those who are dear to them and will not hesitate to help one another in a crisis. At the end of S2, their partnership doesn't feel like just a mere partnership anymore.

LauKi interact quite differently every season. In S1, their relationship grows from their Lune missions. Lauren went from not trusting him at all to fixing his bandages and Kieran from seconds away to murdering Lauren to letting some of his gaurd down arounf her; at the start of S2 they have a horrible start. After the incident in EP43, Lauren absolutely despises Kieran and it seems like it'll be impossible to get nice moments of them again, but their relationship starts to get better over the course of the season. At the end of S2, they become Lune once again. S3's LauKi finally has back the banter they had in S1 but this time much more authentic after the time they spent together in S2.

The more flirtatious Kieran likes to call Lauren many nicknames, such as 'Darling' or 'Love' while Lauren prefers to just give him the title 'Subordinate'.
