Kawyer

Kawyer is the femslash ship between Kate Kane and Maggie Sawyer from the DC Comics fandom.

Canon
Kate and Maggie met at a charity ball and eventually began dating. After some time, Kate began to feel conflicted since she had to keep her identity as Batwoman a secret from Maggie. It often getting in the way of their relationship. Kate eventually asks Maggie to marry her and reveals that she is Batwoman at the same time. They eventually called off the wedding and have so far not gotten back together.

Fanon
Kawyer is a fan favorite among DC Comics fans. Specifically for being positive representation of a lesbian couple. Given how they were one of the first in the two big superhero comics. Although there is a negative to the ship, as they were never allowed to get married due to DC's policy of not letting Batfamily members to be happy. Many fans want them to get back together, especially with the new direction DC has taken since Rebirth. Hoping that they'll finally allow Maggie and Kate to be happy.

It's also well loved among Bombshells fans. With Maggie and Kate being one of the main couple of the comic. Often finding the art style of the comic adds to how adorable fans find the pair. Although they aren't as prominent as other couples in the series.

The ship doesn't have many fans among those who don't read comics. Mostly due to their relationship never being adapted outside of the comics themselves. The Arrowverse did not have the two be together, due to Supergirl using Maggie as Alex's love interest, and Kate's main love interest being Sophie Moore instead. Kate also typically has Renee Montoya as her love interest in most other adaptations rather than Renee, due to their relationship being older and a little more well known.

On AO3, Kawyer is the fifth most written ship for Kate and the sixth most written for Maggie. It is also the fourth most written ship in the Bombshells (DC Comics) tag. There are currently 108 works written.
