Rylan

Rylan is the slash ship between Ryan Erzahler and Dylan Lenivy from The Quarry fandom.

Chapter 2
In Chris's office, Dylan finds a dial phone and asks Ryan for his number so he can try it out. Ryan asks why Dylan wants his number, and Dylan has to option to flirt and say that he wants to ask Ryan out or be sarcastic and say that Ryan should appreciate someone calling him for once. If Dylan chooses to flirt, the player gets a note that Ryan is interested.

When Ryan says that Dylan better hope Chris doesn't find out Dylan was looking through his stuff, the player can be playful and pretend to be getting a call or dismissive and say that Mr. H won't find out. If they choose to be playful, Dylan will mimic the dial phone ringing and pick it up. He pretends that the person on the other end of the line is asking Ryan to give Dylan his number and Ryan smiles.

The group plays a game of truth of dare, in which Emma dares Ryan to kiss either Kaitlyn or Dylan. If he chooses Kaitlyn, the player gets a note that Dylan is disappointed. If he chooses Dylan, Dylan is very clearly happy.

Chapter 5
With Dylan as the one the player is controlling, Ryan and Dylan head to the radio shack to try to and use the radio to call for help. On the way, depending on the player's choices, Dylan will open up to Ryan about how the person he presents himself at camp isn't really him, and shares his goal of becoming a quantum physicist.

Once inside the radio shack and playing as Ryan, Dylan attempts to alert someone that they are in trouble when another voice comes through the radio, talking about "two males in the radio shack". Dylan panics, thinking they're being tracked. Ryan tries to calm him down by saying that they just need to find everyone else. After realizing that there is a werewolf outside waiting for them, Dylan tries to go to the roof to fix the wire so they can scare off the monster when he is attacked by werewolf Caleb, who bites his hand. Dylan frantically asks Ryan to cut it off, and Ryan has the choice between a gun or chainsaw. After this, Dylan tells Ryan what he needs to do and they successfully scare Caleb away. After a moment, Dylan seems to realize what just happened and asks Ryan why he cut his hand off.

Chapter 8
While walking with Ryan, Laura might ask him about Kaitlyn depending on the player's choice. If she does, Ryan will admit that he knows both Kaitlyn and Dylan like him. He'll then say that he doesn't know who he likes more between them, but possibly neither. He might also say that he likes Dylan more, but that will only happen if the player makes certain choices beforehand.

Chapter 9
In chapter 9, both Dylan and Ryan could die depending on the player's choices.

While they walk to the scrapyard, Dylan can ask Kaitlyn if she would date a guy with one hand, meaning Ryan. He then has the choice to be curious or reflective. If the player decides to be curious, he will ask Kaitlyn if she thinks something was about to happen between him and Ryan back at the bonfire at the beginning of the night. He'll then say that at least they know Ryan's type, which he implies is Laura.

In the scrapyard, Dylan pauses to say that he wonders if Ryan's okay.

Fanon
Rylan is currently the most popular ship within The Quarry fandom. The ship is generally well-received, with many celebrating it as it marked the first time Supermassive Games has showed a same-sex kiss on screen, and had an openly queer character in its main cast. The ship's popularity is also partially due to Dylan being a fan-favorite for his oddball sense of humor and general upbeat personality, despite the perilous situations faced. Fanworks often involve the themes of hurt/comfort and angst that take place after the game's ending. Dylan's fear of being rejected as well as his selflessness is often brought up.
