Stary

Stary is the slash ship between Gary Harrison and Stan Marsh from the South Park fandom.

Canon
A new family from Utah moves into South Park. Their son Gary is typically depicted as unusually perfect (achieving high grades, being perfectly polite, etc.), invoking the wrath of the other boys. Stan is drafted into the job of beating him up by the other boys, but Gary's sheer politeness leads Stan to discover himself walking away with an invitation to dinner that night, which he accepts. When Stan tells his parents about them when he gets home, Randy heads over to their place confront them for brainwashing him, only to find himself quelled by their perfection and politeness. Randy decides to convert his whole family to Mormonism. The next day, Gary and Stan start hanging out together. The next day, Kenny, Cartman and Kyle cruelly mock Stan for hanging around with Gary and his family, accusing Stan of going on a date with Gary. When the Harrisons and Gary show up, the three children walk off lying about going to "put in some volunteer work at the homeless shelter". This makes Stan a little reluctant to participate in this developing friendship, as the other boys, notably Cartman, began teasing him for "being in love".

Finally, after hearing the story of the Book of Mormon, Stan decides that Mormonism is ridiculous, and he no longer wants to be Gary's friend because of his religion. Stan's anger does not much upset anyone in the Mormon family other than Gary, who confronts Stan and the other boys the next day. He points out that he believes his religion does not need to be factually true, because it still supports good family values. Gary condemns all of his bigotry and ignorance, stating: "All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls."

Fanon
Stary did not gain much traction until after the events of 'All About Mormons', in wich Gary Harrison is introduced. This is simply due the fact that Garry never appears in the series again. While it is nowhere near ships like Style or Stendy in fanart, many fans found themselves dedicated to their relationship. There are some fanarts and fanfictions for this pairing, including 98 works on ao3.
