ReimSharon

ReimSharon is the het ship between Reim Lunettes and Sharon Rainsworth from the Pandora Hearts fandom.

Canon
Reim and Sharon met at a very young age. Duke Barma had been sending Reim to the Rainsworth household and Sheryl kept him there for two years. During their time as children, they had more of a brother-sister relationship. Sheryl even asked Sharon if she would be interested in having a big brother. This grew into a close friendship as adults and an easy way to work together in Pandora.

As adults, the two weren't able to interact as much as Sharon is a Rainsowrth and Reim served Duke Barma. Despite this, the two are still shown to be friends. Normally Break is with the two, making scenes alone very scarce. Break bringing them together was also keeping them apart romantically. Even after Break's death, Sharon was still not interested in romance with Reim because of the death. This last fact is only known after reading 24+1.

It is shown in 24+1 that Reim believed to be in love with Sharon since they were children. He said he knew “love” for the first time when he saw her. Sharon rejected him and apologized saying that she would be marrying Break in the future. This did not deter Reim but he decided not to bring it up. Supporting her by her side was good enough for him.

After the end of the series, Reim informed Gilbert and Lottie that he proposed to Sharon. Sadly she had rejected him. Reim refused to give up on her and claimed he would keep proposing until she would agree. After their initial grief had worn off and things had calmed down, Sharon agreed to marry Reim. They became the only surviving married couple in the manga.

Quotes
"When I first met her I had just barely turned 11. Her face peeking out from behind her mother’s dress, with that adorable image, I knew 'love’ for the first time."

- Reim

"I’m sorry, Mister Reim. But, you see, I’m going to be Big Brother Xerx’s bride in the future."

- Young Sharon in a flashback

"In the past and now, Miss Sharon’s existence has always been precious and important to me."

- Reim

Fanon
Despite being canon, there are many mixed feelings towards ReimSharon. Readers believe that Reim and Sharon only married because they bonded over the grief of Break, even though Reim declared that was always his plan. Readers believe this marriage never would have happened if Break were alive. It was a common opinion that Sharon was in love with Break even though she presently saw him as an older brother. This ship can be easily seen as not canon as it wasn't in the main 24 books.

ReimSharon is surprisingly an unpopular ship in the fandom. It is beaten out by both Xerxes/Reim and Xerxes/Sharon on AO3, barely passing the canon pairing of Levi/Lacie. There are not many posts for it on tumblr. The majority of fanart with Reim and Sharon includes Break in the middle of them.

There is nothing in the ReimxSharon or SharonxReim hashtag on Twitter and it is barely mentioned. It is hard to find ReimSharon content on tumblr without one of them interacting with Break. Most ReimSharon fanworks are combined into the Rainsworth trio which consists of Reim, Sharon, and Break. Hate can be found more easily than support.
