Gwentney

Gwentney is the femslash ship between Gwen and Courtney from the Total Drama fandom.

Canon
In the episode "Food Fright", Gwen admits in the confessional that she only came back to make things right with Courtney and begins to cry believing Courtney hates her. Courtney hears her however and wonders if she was being truthful. Later Chris points out that Gwen didn't accidentally hurt Courtney that day, but Courtney is still unimpressed, disappointing Gwen.

In the episode "Moon Madness", Heather begins acting weird under the blue harvest moon and Gwen makes a joke about it, which Courtney laughs at briefly. Later, at the finish line, Gwen saves Courtney from a deer that was trying to eat her (the deer had been affected by the moon). Courtney is surprised, but Gwen just says Courtney would have done the same for her. Courtney says she would have, but in the confessional she says she wouldn't have.

In the episode "No One Eggspects the Spanish Opposition", Gwen tells Courtney that she broke up with Duncan and won't put boys before her friends ever again, as well as promises to vote for who ever Courtney wants that night.

In the episode "Suckers Punched", when Scott gets hurt, Gwen offers to help Courtney help Scott which Courtney thanks her for. Then in the confessional Gwen is excited that Courtney has start treating her like a person again and in Courtney's she has begun to believe Gwen has payed her dues. Later they both share a laugh at Duncan's expense and again laugh when they speak in unison when Chris asks for a volunteer for the challenge. When the wheel says they must fight each, neither of them want to and they refuse. While they do begin fighting it's only after Chris plays a montage of Duncan and Gwen kissing which reignites Courtney's anger. After the fight though, Courtney admits she only wants Gwen to be her friend again and they hug promising to be friends.

Fanon
The Total Drama fandom began shipping Gwen and Courtney, ironically, as the will-they-won't-they storyline began with Gwen and Duncan in Total Drama Action. The connection of Gwen and Duncan to Duncan and Courtney invariably also connected Gwen and Courtney. Shipping was also sparked by their rivalry. When the two became better friends in World Tour, a fluffier ship emerged from the similarities drawn in the episodes- from their shared hatred of Heather to their same types of nerdiness to their constant need to help the other. Finally, in All Stars, it was revealed that Gwen and Courtney were more important to each other than Duncan was to them, completely taking out Duncan from the equation. Arguably, their most romantic moments were in this season- especially the scene where they obsessively complimented each other.

Gwentney is the 8th most popular Total Drama ship on AO3. It is the 2nd most popular ship for both Gwen and Courtney.
