Shipping between the two happened in the books but was fairly rare. It become more common after the tv series was released, and the two shared more time together. Post season 1 shippers began to hope that Simon and Raphael would get together. If not for an endgame pair, then at least for awhile. They also hoped that Simon would be confirmed as Pansexual, and Raphael as Asexual. Raphael was confirmed at Asexual during the first half of season 2.

On AO3, the ship is the most written for both Raphael, and Simon. It’s also fourth most written relationship in The Mortal Instruments tag, and second highest in the Shadowhunters (TV) tag.
