Fanon
Jafael is arguably the most popular het ship on the series, among the two most popular along with its rival ship, Cordueva. The ship has been through hell during the series, but has returned in the series final season and the Jafael fandom have stayed with it throughout. The toxic part of the Cordueva stans are currently vile about Jafael getting together, going so far as to accusing Rafael and the relationship of being toxic, despite that not being true.
