Season 1
THE DESCENT INTO HELL ISN'T EASY

Clary can't find Simon at the car, when she suddenly hears a voice above her yell. Raphael is up in the rafters, holding Simon upside down. He tells them that they'll negotiate Simon's return in exchange for the mortal cup. They then disapear to their home, awaiting the Shadowhunters answer.

DEAD MAN'S PARTY

Simon is being kept in the crypt, pounding on the door and begging to be let out. Raphael appears and opens the door. Simon backs away and nervously jokes about their great job of scaring him. Raphael closes the door behind him, not responding to Simon's comments. Simon insists that they don't need him, but Raphael says he does, and brings him to Camille.

Fanon
Shipping between the two happened in the books but was fairly rare. It become more common after the TV series was released, and the two shared more time together. Post season 1 shippers began to hope that Simon and Raphael would get together. If not for an endgame pair, then at least for a while. They also hoped that Simon would be confirmed as Pansexual, and Raphael as Asexual. Raphael was confirmed as Asexual during the first half of season two.

On AO3, the ship is the most written for both Raphael, and Simon. It’s also fourth most written relationship in The Mortal Instruments tag, and second highest in the Shadowhunters (TV) tag.
