Wilerunner

Wilerunner is the slash ship between Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner from the Looney Tunes fandom.

Looney Tunes Shorts
Since the very first Wile E Coyote and Road Runner short "The Fast and the Furry-ous" in 1949, Wile E. Coyote is always after Road Runner as he wants to capture and eat him. To complete this task, Wile E buys products from the company ACME in order to capture the Road Runner but the product always ends up not working and the Road Runner always gets away.

Wile E and Road Runner are a package duo; While there are shorts that feature Wile E with Bugs, he's usually seen with the Road Runner, even in merchandise and later media. Wile E is so fixated on capturing the Road Runner, he will stop at nothing to capture the Road Runner. Road Runner meanwhile is usually oblivious to the fact that Wile E is trying to capture him and see it as a fun little game.

While other rivals have since soften their relationship, Wile E is still very much obsessed with capturing the Road Runner but Road Runner over the years has since felt sympathy for Wile E and is very worried about the coyote. Such as in an episode of The Looney Tunes show where Wile E suddenly disappeared into a wall during a chase sequence and Road Runner starting looking around, wondering where he could've went. Road Runner also has never fought or tried to kill the coyote, possibly because he sees him as a friend.

Looney Tunes Comics
Wile E and Road Runner's dynamic is kept the same for the most part. Issue #93 was dedicated to the late Chuck Jones, creator of both Wile E and Road Runner who passed away. The Issue ends with Road Runner and Wile E watching cartoons together while holding each other. After the cartoon ends, Road Runner goes "Beep Beep" and the two begin chasing each other again. They leave behind a sign that reads "Chuck Jones. 1912- 2002 as long as cartoons run".

Fanon
Wilerunner is a fairly popular ship within the Looney Tunes fandom. Although Wile is always seen chasing and trying to eat the Road Runner, fans of the ship sees Wile E and Road Runner as being enemies to lovers. Since it's implied that all the Looney Tunes are actors and are best friends outside of the cartoons, some believe that Wile E and Road Runner are best friends when the camera isn't on them.

Fans of this ship also tend to ship Wile E.'s and Road Runner's counterparts in Looney Tunes-adjacent fandoms. The primary ones being CalaBeep (their primary students) for Tiny Toons and TechRev (their descendents) for Loonatics Unleashed.

On A03, Wilerunner is the third-most written ship for Looney Tunes. It's the most written for both Wile E. and Road Runner.

Trivia

 * Creator Chuck Jones used to have a set a rules for how every Road Runner and Wile E Coyote short should be played out. Three notable rules are "The Road Runner cannot harm the Coyote except by going Beep Beep", "No dialogue ever except Beep Beep" and "The Coyote could stop at any time if he were not a fanatic", Over the years, Warner Bros and Chuck Jones himself would break the rules, as later shorts would have Wile E speaking,
 * It is heavily implied in later media that Wile E and Road Runner are actors, such as in Looney Tunes Back in Action.
