Merchannedy

Merchannedy is the slash ship between Leon Kennedy and The Merchant from the Resident Evil fandom.

Resident Evil 4 (2005)
The Merchant first appearing at a window, speaks in a pseudo-Australian accent and encourages Leon to follow him behind the building where Leon will find him standing near a flaming sconce. Once approached, the Merchant opens one side of his coat to reveal a vast assortment of ammunition and firearms, encouraging Leon to purchase from him with phrases such as "Whaddya buyin'?" Afterwards, the Merchant will re-appear at various points throughout the game, the locations marked by similar sconces. He sells weapons and items and purchases valuable antiques and gems that Leon discovers for pesetas. He also rewards Leon prizes for good marksmanship using his shooting range as well as shooting blue medallions scattered throughout the game's levels.

He was last seen before Leon fights Saddler.

Quotes
"Welcome back, stranger. Looks like we're finally making it out of here"

- Leon Kennedy from RE6 "mentioning" The Merchant from RE4.

Fanon
Merchannedy is a small ship within the Resident Evil fandom. This can be in part to how Leon and Merchant have only appeared in two games together. They were forgotten for a long time, until 2023, when an animator/streamer named NeoCranium posted a Leon x Merchant animation, more and more people know and love this ship. However, this ship never reached the heights of older ships of the fandom.

On AO3, Merchannedy has 30+ works in its romantic/slash tag, and has 10+ works in its general tag.
