Edaking

Edaking is the Friendship/Het ship between Eda Clawthorne and King from The Owl House fandom.

Canon
King is Eda's diminutive sidekick and roommate at the House Owl, even though she does treat him like a baby and pet from time to time. Since King wears a dog collar and Eda was seen carrying him around in a baby carrier in "Hooty's Moving Hassle", and his small size being the main reason why Eda holds him in her arms like he is an infant. Like most people, Eda is taken in by King's adorable appearance and babies him around a bit. King on the other hand hates being treated like an infant and his small form is the reason why people don't take him seriously. Similar to how Eda struggles with the curse that turns her into a owl-like beast and is the reason why she has to be careful with her magic, King was once a powerful demon master who now desires to reclaim his original form and title. How they met wasn't revealed in season one, but it does give the impression that the two have known each other for a long time. Since King is depicted on the wanted poster of Eda and helps out at Eda's stall, along with making sure that her curse is kept at by. Like Eda, King has no trouble with getting his hands dirty, like pickpocketing, or breaking one or two rules when it calls for it or just for the joy of it.

When Luz the human back into both of their lives, things started to lighten around the Owl House as the two bond with Luz in their own ways. Along with them becoming Luz's second family beside Hooty and Owlbert. Unlike Eda's staff palisman and the guardian of the House Owl, however, King doesn't have any owl-like treats or matches with Eda's owl theme due to her curse.

As Eda's addition to the magical card game, Hexes Holdem King scolds her for it. Since it was the reason she forgot to stuck up on the elixir that keeps her curse at bay, starts playing it at random and later gets both of them in trouble at the Dark Market. To convince an upset King to free her from Grimm Hammer's magical chains by giving her the elixir, she apologies to him before promising to give up playing Hexes Holdem ever again. King then gives Eda the elixir and her powers return, along with making Eda's feathers disappear before the curse could finish transforming her. When the two returned home and got Luz and her friends to clean up the house, while they relax from their night out, King's comment about the kids moving the house got Eda to realize that the magic within Luz could be stronger than they assumed.

Fanon
Due to King's short height and is commonly seen as a "pet" than a person to a few fans, they prefer to ship them as friends but there have been those who do ship them romantically, and feature King as a human-like person from the Boiling Isles.

Fans are hoping that season two will revel the story of how the two met. Until then they feature their theories through fanfics or tweets.

On AO3, the hip ship has 29 fanfics, while FanFiction.Net has 51.
