Silvaze

Silvaze is the het ship between Silver and Blaze from the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom.

Canon
Both Silver and Blaze are best friends, who they are described to have a brother-sister relationship in Sonic the Hedgehog exclusively. Silver is also emotionally dependent upon Blaze; he becomes very insecure when alone, and it is usually Blaze who helps Silver back on his feet. Before she vanishes from their world at the end of Silver's story, Blaze reveals that she always liked Silver's naivete, leaving Silver deeply saddened after he is forced to seal her in another dimension.

However, after the defeat of Solaris, the timeline was altered and it appears that Silver's encounter with Blaze was erased, leaving them with no personal relation or friendly knowledge of each other. The Nintendo DS version of Sonic Colors shows Silver and Blaze meeting each other after the timeline changed. In the console version of Sonic Generations, the two can be seen talking to each other at Sonic's birthday party at the end of the game.

Silver and Blaze are sometimes shown together in spin-off games. In the Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Silver and Blaze join Sonic's team together rather than individually. They also have unique victory poses in Sochi 2014 and Rio 2016. The two are members of Team Vector in Team Sonic Racing.

Comics
In the Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2019, the story “Victory Garden” is dedicated to the two of them, where they “slow down for a minute to go gardening...”

In an abandoned town, Blaze looks for Silver after Amy told her where she could find him. Blaze soon hears Silver's voice as well as crashing objects. She finds him in a crater levitating gardening tools. Silver embarrassingly tries to control the situation but instead gets hit by a hose, falls and drops the tools. Blaze helps Silver get up, asking if he is growing vegetables, to which he confirms as he loves plants. Compared to his time, everything is so alive in the present. Amy had told Silver he could grow his own vegetables if he wanted and got excited to do so, only to find that they did not grow no matter how much he watered them. Silver continues to complain while Blaze examines the weeds. She asks to try something, which Silver allows. Blaze then creates a ring of fire, warming up the area. This alarms Silver, but Blaze tells Silver to trust her.

With the slightly heated ground, Silver moans that he made such good progress. Blaze hands Silver a hoe, asking him to turn the ashes into soil. She explains that the garden was planted on a battlefield where the chemicals from the bombs made the earth hard and acidic, which plants would not be able to grow in. When ashes are used to fertilize a garden, they break down the many acids in the soil and nourish the plants. Silver is left impressed and believes that Blaze knows a lot about gardening. Blaze insists that she knows only the basics. She explains that a gardener's greatest skill is not control, planning, or power, but listening as they know exactly what to do and will tell you what they need to do it. All the gardener must do is listen and provide. Soon, as the sun rises, vegetables and sunflowers quickly grow in Silver's garden, leaving the hedgehog overjoyed. Blaze looks on with a smile.

Fanon
Despite losing their friendship and familiarity entirely with the end of Sonic 06, Silvaze is one of the most popular ships in the Sonic fandom. Even though their team name in Mario and Sonic at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games is “Team SILVER” (whenever players team Blaze up with Silver), some prefer to call them “Team Silvaze”.

On AO3, Silvaze is the most written ship for Blaze and the second most written for Silver, behind Shadow/Silver. However, it should be noted that AO3 cannot be used to determine total popularity, as the fandom has a more notable presence on other websites such as DeviantArt.

Trivia

 * In Archie's Sonic Universe Issue 58's Off Panel, Marine seems to have written a Silvaze fan fiction, and however Blaze apparently disliked the story and burned the former's manuscript. This is a possible allusion of writers' consciousness to the shipping fanbase.
 * In Sonic and the Black Knight, Blaze and Slivers' alternate reality doppelgängers are two notalbe Knights of the Round Table from the Arthur Legends, Sir Percival and Sir Galahad. Percival is part of the game's main storyline, while Galahad can only be seen or played during free play.
 * In Mario and Sonic at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games, Sliver and Blazes' team name is shown to be "Team SILVER".
