Fivan

Fivan is the slash ship between Fedyor Kaminsky and Ivan from the Grishaverse fandom.

Season 1
WE'RE ALL SOMEONE'S MONSTER

While transporting Alina in the carriage, Fedyor bumps Ivan's shoulder. Ivan then introduces Alina to Fedyor, who says that it's a pleasure to meet her. She asks why they can't stay with the first army, and Fedyor says that it's too slow. Alina says that if they just hid her among the cartographers, no one would notice her, but Ivan ignores this. Fedyor asks her why that might be, given that she just produced sunlight, and has been nothing more than myth. He asks why no one's noticed her, and she says that anything different outside the palace ends in a fight. Ivan says that the reason the palace has walls, is because being a Grisha was considered a death sentence. But being protected and powerful, is now how they survive. Alina says that she's survived long enough without them, but Fedyor says she won't last a minute now that she is who she is. She is a myth come true for the Grisha, and if she destroys the fold, maybe they won't need as much protection.

They come upon a block in the road, and Ivan tells Alina to stay put and he and Fedyor exit the carriage. Fedyor stops to tell Alina that Ivan means well before joining him. They stop two fjerdan's from attacking. They separate and Fedyor gets shot. Ivan rushes to his side and pulls for cover. He asks if he's okay, and Fedyor assures him that he's fine and the bullet didn't penetrate the uniform.

SHOW ME WHO YOU ARE

Fedyor interrupts Alina and Genya seemingly very angry. He breaks and laughs, telling them that he was doing an Ivan impression. Genya says it's a little too convincing, and Fedyor says that intimidation is a useful tactic. He suggest getting the two of them back inside, before his better half comes looking for them, and escorts the two away.

Behind the Scenes

 * Showrunner Eric Heisserer originally intended season 2 of Shadow and Bone to feature a Fedyor and Ivan love story, saying that it was "leaned on pretty heavily." He elaborated, "We were excited to explore that relationship dynamic more, as two lovers who found each other on either side of this war between Alina and Kirigan." This was unable to come to fuition due to scheduling conflicts with actor Julian Kostov (Fedyor). Heisserer hopes to continue the story if given a third season.

Fanon
Fivan was a non-existent ship when the book series came out. It was quickly picked up by fans of the tv series, who enjoyed their small moments. Some joked that it was their favorite thing to come out of the series. Many also thank the writer whose decision was to put them together. Many fans started to have worries, especially book fans, about the couples fate in season 2. Given that fans don't know Ivan's status, many are afraid that he won't make it to the next season. Ivan and Fedyor being on opposite sides in the books, also didn't calm the nerves of any shippers.

On AO3, Fivan is the most written ship for both Ivan and Fedyor. It is also the third most written ship in the Shadow and Bone (TV) tag and seventh overall for the Grishaverse.
