Sayosuki

Sayosuki is the femslash ship between Sayori and Natsuki from the Doki Doki Literature Club! fandom.

Canon
In game, there's not a big number of interactions between these two girls. However, during the ones they share we can still see that Sayori is much more affectionate with Natsuki than she is with Yuri, Monika, or the player, seemingly due to a love of Natsuki’s cuteness and small stature. Over the course of the game, both show an attraction to the Protagonist. If you don't pick Yuri when the Protagonist selects what girl he wants to help with the preparations for the club event, Yuri starts to sulk because she wasn't picked. Natsuki tries to cheer Yuri up, in the same way like Sayori would have done it. The Protagonist later even says that Natsuki tried to sound like Sayori.

There is one instance in which Sayori wraps her arms around Natsuki’s shoulders, excitedly exclaiming that everything that Natsuki does is “just as cute as Natsuki herself” in a cheery tone. Natsuki gets flustered by this, blushes, and states that she’s not cute, shortly before the player changes the subject. Sayori also does this another time, when Natsuki has a cookie in her hand. Even though Sayori already had a cookie, Sayori sneaks up behind Natsuki and takes a bite of the cookie. Natsuki gets flustered here as well, and proceeds to lightly scold her about it while Sayori gets embarrassed and apologizes.

The two have numerous similarities. They both have color schemes that compliment each other nicely, Sayori has mainly salmon in her palette and Natsuki has mainly pink. Both girls also wear the same school uniform with a loop, and stockings. Both also have short hair and wear a red accessory in their hair and are the clubs shortest members. Furthermore, both girls are also considered the more cutesy ones of the club while Monika and Yuri are the more beautiful brooding ones, so they’re similar in that sense as well.

Fanon
This ship sailed mainly because of Sayori’s affectionate moments with Natsuki in game, and some of the dialogue they share. It also fits the popular ship trope of the bubbly extrovert and the moody introvert, which also makes it very well liked.

Sayosuki is heavily rivaled by ships such as Sayori x MC, Sayonika and Natsuri, but due to the limited number of characters in the game, still gathers a large enough following to be considered popular.

It is a common ship partner to an equally popular ship, Yurika, as a way to pair all four girls off.

Many fans appreciate the common interest of sweets the girls share.
