Canon
At the end of the 3rd case, it's seen Laurent holding a ring that Dorothy had gave to him before "passing away". Ever since this, Laurent constantly has hallucinations with her when he's alone, she even appears in his dreams, being shown at the beginning of Wizard of Far East, in which they are shown walking in the snow admiring a northern light. They kiss, and when Laurent is woken up by Shi-won, she points about his boner in an indirect way, but completely not caring about it either knowing the cause of it.

They first met while Dorothy was doing her work for tricking people and while she was doing that, she suddenly gets stabbed by Laurent, causing him to be in shock, as she wasn't actually his target to stab, but the person who was with Dorothy. After this, Laurent gets invited to some place by a person he didn't know, and after arriving the place, he found Dorothy there with her team, looking good. Laurent was confused about the situation he was in, Dorothy explains that thanks to him, their work was a lot easier and with that they finally made to reach their goal with stealing money from Hugo, her victim and the one who was with Dorothy before getting stabbed. After Dorothy introduced herself and her group to Laurent, she said that he had to forget her need of revenge and instead start doing fun things. After she said that, Laurent gave her a smile as she finished her team's quote.

Then Dorothy hired him for doing their work as swindlers, which it gave a good result, since they made to trick their victims. For celebrating the success, they use to eat big amounts of food alongside with the other members and drink alcholic drinks while doing toast, and in one occasion it's seen Laurent and Dorothy dancing together while celebrating. Once when they finished their work, it's seen both eating along while Dorothy was chatting along with Laurent. He also uses to kiss Dorothy while saying that it was the only way for shutting her up, since she talked a lot while giving her a flirtatious look.

They're seen in a room after working the past day, Laurent points out that Dorothy's collar was beautiful, Dorothy tells him the story about her past, and that her mother gave her the ring as luck charm in her life, and it made her feel like someone was watching over her. He asks her about the time she was going to keep it, since she made enough for living her life comfortably. Dorothy then says that everyone came to the world with different purposes, and that her gift was executing con games, but before she could finish her line, Laurent intervenes saying that reality doesn't turn out like games would do. He then approaches to Dorothy saying that her pendant wouldn't protect her from dangerous situations while she does her work, and then Laurent proposes to quit the work with her, and get married with him instead. Dorothy then explains about the marriage, and that they could get tired of the other in some time later and they didn't had to be together with a spell. Laurent hugs her from behind saying that he would cast the spell and that he won't let her run free anymore, while saying that she had to quit so she couldn't be in danger anymore.

In exchange for promising it, Dorothy told him that she always wanted to visit cold places, even if she didn't liked them. Then the next day they're seen together watching a beautiful dawn at night and with this, they are seen kissing under the beautiful landscape.

To get off the work, Dorothy proposed Laurent and her team to make a last gig, something perfect for their finale and so everyone could quit too. Dorothy then asks Laurent if he was going to be part of the plan too, Laurent hesitated a bit, but then with a sigh he accepted her proposal. Before starting oficially their work, Dorothy kissed her ring while telling it to protect her, Laurent stares at her with a smile.

Unfortunately for them, the plan didn't go well, and it ended with Dorothy getting dragged with Laurent to a far place in the middle of the ocean for then finally get shot and "killed" in the act by the ones who they tried to trick, while her body was being slowly absorbed in the water. Laurent witnessed all this in horror, and tried to call her out to no avail, and then he found Dorothy's ring right in front of him. After arriving to the place where he and the team used to stay, he desperately called for Dorothy saying that her joke went too far. Then in an instant, he could see "Dorothy" in a balcony while she greet him, but then he noticed that he was hallucinating and in reality there was no Dorothy to be seen, but a cat. Then it's seen Laurent kissing the ring that Dorothy once had with her.

Since then, Laurent is seen swindling people and then making a team like Dorothy did before, with this being the beginning of Laurent. Finally, at the end of the series, it's seen Laurent throwing the ring that Dorothy gave to him while saying that everything was fine now.

Surprisingly, Dorothy is seen later in certain island while she found the ring that Laurent had thrown before thanks to her adoptive parents, notably having losen her original memories. She then dons the ring, and looks it out over the ocean, saying, "Not bad."

Fanon
The ship was received very well and also was appreciated by the fans once the second season was announced and also Dorothy's introduction to the story, especially in Laurent's romantic life. While a lot of fans were disappointed on how the ship ended, other part were glad that it was like that, since they would say that both Dorothy and Laurent wouldn't work well. They theorized that Dorothy wasn't attracted to him, but their happy moments when they were together, some fans also would pick Edaurent instead. On AO3, it has 11 fics available and it's the most written for Dorothy.
