Jackunzel

Jackunzel is the het ship between Rapunzel and Jack from the Tangled and Rise of the Guardians fandoms.

Canon
Rapunzel and Jack never meet due to Jack being a DreamWorks character, while Rapunzel is a Disney character.

Both Jack and Rapunzel have naturally brown hair, and another, lighter, hair color due to a magical property. Jack being reborn as a winter spirit and Rapunzel being born with the Sun-Drop flower's magical abilities. When Jack looked into his memory box he remembered his forgotten human past. Meanwhile Rapunzel looking at both the sun shaped crest and the painting in her tower allowed her to remember her birth parents. So both Jack and Rapunzel realizing who they really are, a Guardian and the Lost Princess. Both Jack and Rapunzel felt lonely for most of their lives, as Rapunzel spended all her life in a tower and Jack was invisible for everyone for 300 years. They have some connection with moon and sun respectively, as Jack was tourned into a guardian by the moon and Rapunzel's kingdom symbol is a sun.

Fanon
The crossover pairing is one of the popular het ships of the  fandom and its sup-fandoms. It is often shipped alongside Mericcup. Jackunzel is a notable rival ship of Jelsa, and there have been ship wars between the two. The ship has also inspired some people to ship their respective enemies, Pitch and Gothel. In AO3 it ia the 3rd most popular ship for Rapunzel and the 5th most popular for Jack.

Some scenarios involve Jack meeting Rapunzel while the latter is a little child, and having a relationship similar to that of a child and an imaginary friend. As Rapunzel gets older, the two start to develop more romantic feelings for each other. The relationship is often portrayed as tragic since Rapunzel ages while Jack stays the same age. As Rapunzel has a canon relationship with Eugene some fanfics take place before Tangled.

Due to the modern setting in Rise of the Guardians compared to Tangled, Rapunzel is sometimes portrayed with the more modern looking clothes that her Netizen couterpart wears in Ralph Breaks the Internet.

As a main Big 4 pairing, it is common used in many AU scenarios. In Frozen Tangled Guardians, Jack and Rapunzel are the parents of Elsa and Anna from Frozen. In most AUs, whether or not the pairing is included depends on the fan's choice. An example of an AU where the two can be paired together is the Cinderella AU with Rapunzel as Cinderella and Jack as Prince Charming.
