Bubbline

Bubbline is the femslash ship between Marceline Abadeer and Princess Bubblegum from the Adventure Time fandom.

Canon
Their first interaction came in the episode "Go With Me." They seemed hostile towards each other and mocked each other. The shipping began in the episode "What Was Missing", in which Marceline sang the song "I'm Just Your Problem", which hinted at a past romantic relationship between the two characters. Furthermore, it was revealed that Bubblegum's most treasured item was a t-shirt that Marceline gave her, which she wears as Pajamas. In the episode "Sky Witch", Bubblegum is shown in this T-Shirt and smells it deeply before going into her closet, which has a picture of her and Marceline in it.

In the episode Marceline The Vampire Queen, Bubblegum declares to her: "You know I care about you. I think you're making the right choice. Your natural lifespan is going to be richer and fuller than you can imagine. And someday, when you die, I'll be the one that puts you on the ground."

They were also recently seen holding hands and wearing each other's clothes in the episodes "Seventeen" and "Marcy and Hunson"

In the Adventure Time Finale, "Come Along With Me", the two kissed after Marceline declares her feelings for Princess Bubblegum.

Fanon
It's very much possible that PB and Marceline could've been past lovers. It's also been mentioned by the cast in interviews about whether or not Bubbline was actually canon.

As mentioned before, it's revealed that PB's most meaningful item was the shirt that Marceline gave her before. This is widely used in all fanfictions, as it shows that PB actually does care about Marceline and even wears her shirt to sleep and sniffs it when she wakes up.

One of the other things is when Marceline has a dream where she and PB are living together as an old couple. It's widely interpreted as Marceline dreaming about what future they could/will have.
