Constandes

Constandes is the slash ship between Constantine and Desmond from the Legends of Tomorrow fandom.

Canon
Just after the Legends inadvertently release magical fugitives into the mortal realm, Constantine spends some time in New Orleans. At a local bar, he is served by Desmond and they share an instant connection. They spend the night together and despite John's aversion to any emotional attachment to others, in spite of himself, he falls in love. Desmond and John start a relationship and move in together in New Orleans. Not long after John is being targeted by the demon Neron that owns Constantine's soul and, to try and protect Dez, John implores Dez to get away from him. Instead, Dez decides to give himself up to the demon in an attempt to save John.

As they are bound together, John has to damn Desmond to hell along with Neron for the sake of the world and crumbles with grief in heartbreak as Desmond is thrown into hell. Drowning his sorrows and meandering grief-stricken, John reluctantly joins the Legends when they need his help with the magical fugitives. John secretly hopes to find a way to save Dez, his sole reason for teaming up with the Legends.

Hell No, Dolly
John dreams about his first night with Dez, when he is awoken by Charlie. She shows him her powers coming back, but he says that he's not going to help her. She leaves and he looks down at the medallion in his hand that had previously belonged to Dez.

The Legends arrive in New Orleans during the 1800s, and John ends up on the same street where he meets Dez, getting flashbacks to the night. He is then taken by Marie Leveau, who sensed Dez's medallion on him. She enters his memory to figure out how he got it. John flashes back to him coming home to Dez after going to the market. Then to him telling Dez to leave New Orleans, since there is a powerful demon after him. Dez gives him the medallion, telling John that it's imbued with a protection spell. John will take it, but only if Dez promises to leave town. He agree's, and Marie pulls John from his flashback. She tells John that Dez must have loved him to give the medallion to him and asks if John loved him back.

Fanon
When Constantine was getting flashbacks of a mysterious man, Legends/Constantine fans were speculating who it was. Constantine fans thought the Legends crew had recast Manny or that it was the Legends big bad (not exactly wrong). When it was revealed that he was John's boyfriend, LGBT fans flipped out and were quick to the ship the two.

Fans of the NBC Constantine series, were upset that Constantine's bisexuality wasn't seen. When it was announced that he would be on Legends, fans were excited when it was also announced that he would be explicitly bi. When it was revealed that Constantine had a boyfriend during the off season, fans were extremely excited. This was also a rare occurrence given that many bisexual male characters aren't shown in serious relationships with those of the same gender.

On AO3 it is the most written ship for Desmond.
