Lyan

Lyan is the het ship between Laura Kearney and Ryan Erzahler from the The Quarry fandom.

Canon
In the beginning, Laura and Ryan did not start off on the right. This is mainly because Ryan doesn't know her yet. All he does know of her is that she killed Chris Hackett's daughter Kaylee. Chris and Ryan seem to have this sort of father-son relationship, since Chris has given him life advice and has helped him deal with things at home. And Ryan seemed to know Kaylee quite well too, so his disbelief and hostility toward Laura, at first, makes sense.

The first time Ryan sees her is when he, Dylan, Kaitlyn, Abi and Nick are walking back to the lodge from the cabins. They hear a gunshot and see a girl with an eyepatch on running away.

A while later, once the group is in the poolhouse, when Nick, now-turned werewolf, crashes through the ceiling and vanishes into the night, they hear a knock on the door. Ryan's the one with the shotgun now, deciding for some reason, he's the leader and protector of the group. They eventually let Laura in after she says who she is, and Dylan remembers that she was one of the counselors that didn't show up for camp.

Then, we get the backstory of what happened with Laura and Max. Midway through that story, when the theory of what they were dealing with were werewolves, the player is pulled from that story back to the poolhouse, where Ryan doesn't believe that that's possible (which doesn't make a whole lot of sense, just because of what they've experienced so far in the night, but also Ryan believed that the Hag of Hackett's Quarry was real).

Fanon
With Ryan and Laura only meeting later in the story, Lyan became a rare pair as most fans had already established connections with other ships. However, it is common to find new fans and gamers in general commenting on the chemistry and sexual tension between the characters.

On AO3, Lyan is one of the least written ship for The Quarry (video game) tag; Ryan's third least written and Laura's least written.
