Deanoru

Deanoru is the femslash ship between Nico Minoru and Karolina Dean from the Runaways fandom.

Canon
Nico and Karolina were childhood friends who grew apart after the death of Nico's sister, but her death anniversary two years later brings their whole group of friends back together.

Both Nico and Karolina had different, hetero love interests at the beginning of the series: Alex Wilder and Chase Stein, respectively. Karolina slowly realized that she was gay and developed a crush on Nico while also somewhat passively entertaining Chase's attention. On the other hand, Nico explored a possible relationship with Alex, who has been crushing on her for years. Beyond a kiss, however, the relationships between Nico and Alex & Karolina and Chase did not progress further (after multiple disagreements about their situation in Nico and Alex's case).

On the night of the school dance (episode 9), Karolina kissed Nico, stating that she might not get the chance to after their mission. When Karolina was left behind later that night, Nico was desperate to save her, and when they did, Nico kissed Karolina.
