Vargene is the slash ship between Eugene Fitzherbert and Varian from the Tangled fandom.

Season One
Eugene met Varian after he follows Rapunzel and Cassandra to Old Corona, as they needed help to better understand Rapunzel's returned hair and how it relates to the black rocks. Because Eugene wasn't aware of that fact when he saw Rapunzel in one of Varian's inventions, he assumes that the young alchemist was trying to harm her and barges in to put a stop to it. Once Varian saw Eugene he calls him by his thieving name, as he believes that Eugene and the character Flynn Rider from his favourite book series, that are also Eugene's favourite, are one of the same. Eugene tries to explain that he isn't really Flynn Rider and is just someone who had once used that name, but Varian's fan-boy excitement state prevent him from listening to him and had kept asking "Flynn" questions of that things "he" had done in the books.

Fanon
Despite the age difference gap between the two and there being fans who prefer to keep them as friends, because of that fact, it hasn't stopped a few Tangled fans from seeing Varian and Eugene having a type of bromance or Eugene becoming a mentor figure to the alchemist. The is believed to have began after "What the Hair?!" shows Varian to be a huge Flynn Rider fans and believes Eugene to be the actual character, due to Eugene naming himself after his childhood hero when he became a thief.

On AO3, the ship has 33 fanfics in total.
