Happlas

Happlas is the slash ship between Happy and Atlas from the Dogs in Space fandom.

Fetch
While boasting to Garbage's crew, Happy shows off the gift bags Atlas is walking off with.

Watch Me
After he is confirmed to advance to the finals of the mech war, Happy gives a handshake to Atlas. Atlas makes an insulting comment towards his opponent Chonies' robot, causing Happy to laugh as the two walk off. On the day of the finals, Atlas notices Chonies saddened that Garbage is not in the audience and rubs it in, only to notice Happy is not there as well.

Leave It
Atlas puts aside his differences with Chonies and Nomi to work together to reunite with Garbage and Happy. When they locate the stranded planet, Atlas shoves Garbage and Chonies aside to get to Happy. Atlas is congratulated by him, who in turn compliments Happy for putting up with Garbage.

Drop It
Simultaneously to Garbage, Happy orders Atlas to stop arguing with Chonies. As Atlas and Chonies work together to reverse the Pluto's magnetic polarity, Happy is impressed that they're able to cooperate.

As the two, along with Garbage, Chonies, and Nomi formulate a plan to stop Kira from overtaking the M-Bark, Happy wants to use the machine to revert her changes to everyone inside and arrest Kira. Atlas suggests neutralizing her by turning her into a regular dog as well. Nomi is against the idea of modifying Kira, causing Happy and Atlas to defend each other when Chonies and Nomi speak against their plan. The two are then surprised when Garbage is willing to use his plan as backup should his fail. Upon landing at the M-Bark, Happy instructs Atlas to go to the med-tech lab as he will be signaled when Happy finds Kira's machine.

Happy gives an update to Atlas when he finds the machine. Although Atlas is locked in the lab, he gives instructions to Happy on what to do with it. Happy listens when told to press a button which ends up transforming everyone each time he presses it.

No Good Seed Goes Unpunished
While fighting off a herd of Shrubdubs, Atlas notices a thorn projected right towards Happy. He leaps up in front of him and takes the hit, causing the thorn to stab Atlas' right knee. Happy picks him up and leads him away from the Shrubdubs while continuing to blast them off with his laser. Calling Garbage over to assist with Atlas, Happy and Garbage take Atlas to take shelter at Barclay's tea shop.

Happy cheers Atlas on when he diffuses one of the Shrubdubs' time bombs. Later as every crew of the M-Bark sets off after the Shrubdub station, Happy informs Duchess of Atlas and the rest of his crew being at medical bay.

Fanon
Within shipping in the Dogs in Space fandom, Happy and Atlas is a popular duo. Throughout their time together, Happy and Atlas have consistently respected each other in their missions. Despite Happy being the superior to Atlas in his crew, focus towards getting along rather than a power dynamic strengthens their support by fans. Before the second season, they were shown to be each others' only close friend before further development towards their crew was made. The most notable rival ship, Happage (Happy x Garbage), offers an enemies to lovers dynamic rather than pure support. Although, this type of shipping has gathered some interest towards certain fans.

On AO3, the ship currently has one work.
