= SpideyTorch = SpideyTorch is the slash ship between Peter Parker and Johnny Storm.

Canon
Initially as opposed to anything romantic or even platonic, Spider-Man and The Human Torch's relationship started as that of rivals. Despite that rivalry the Hollywood star once showed up to give a talk at Peter's school, a speech that managed to touch the brunette in a way Johnny hadn't quite yet been able to. The speech was a toast to never giving up and easily wove into the already establishing philosophy of Spider-Man.

Eventually, Peter and Johnny began to have regular meetings atop the Statue of Liberty, confiding in one another when they need a helping hand. Johnny has a pressing fear of losing the people he loves and Peter - being very well accustomed to losing people at this point - is an understanding ear for him to vent to. It took some time for the pair to reach this closeness level, however, as for a long time the pair seem to argue and bicker more often than not.

The pair have grown over time to be quite close friends, at a time living together as roommates and Johnny even having slept naked in Peter's bed before.

Quotes
"Oh, sure! Break our movie date, and then leave me to babysit your sister! Jerk!"

- Johnny; Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man (2017) #2

Fanon
A lot of the initial draw to the ship was in the dichotomy of the character types - Peter being a selfless nerd while Johnny was much more of a hothead. Their main rival ship is Spideypool, though the two fandoms seem to get along quite well. Shippers base most of their works on comics, but do occasionally transfer their dynamic to the MCU and other adaptations.

On AO3, SpideyTorch is the most written ship for Johnny. It's also the third most written ship Spider-Man (Comicsverse) tag and the most written in the Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four (Comicverse) tags. There are currently over 900+ works.

= T'Chalcon = T'Chalcon is the slash ship between T'Challa and Sam Wilson.

Captain America: Civil War
After getting captured by the United Nations, T'Challa, Steve and Sam are in a car. After some awkward silence, Sam asks if T'Challa likes Cats. Steve is about to stop him but Sam is confused by the guy who suddenly appears wearing a cat suit, since that's gotta raise some questions. T'Challa seems bemused by Sam's question, given the situation they're in.

Avengers: Infinity War
Sam, along with the other Avengers, travels to Wakanda by the generosity of King T'Challa, to get help for Vision. They fight side by side against Thanos's creatures and both are decimated by the snap of the Infinity Stone gauntlet.

Fanon
A rare pair in fandom, the two were not expected to be shipped by most people. Those that do started to ship it after their interaction in Civil War. Specifically, Sam questioning T'Challa's Black Panther suit.

Their interaction spanned several possible comedic interactions. Mostly involving the two making fun of the other's animal theme. There's also fan art comparing the two to birds and cat's. Some also believe that Sam would get along with T'Challa's younger sister Shuri, and would team up in finding way to troll T'Challa.

On AO3, T'Chalcon is the ninth most written ship for T'Challa, and the eighth most written for Sam. It is also the twenty fourth most written ship in the Black Panther tag.

= Vicgert = Vicgert is the het ship between Victor Mancha and Gertrude Yorkes.

Canon
Gert first learned about Victor by a time-travelling version of herself from the future who appeared before the Runaways to warn them about him. Future-Gert died soon after she arrived and Nico used a spell to see her memories and found that Victor was a super-villain in the future who betrayed Gert and that Gert "loved him" though it is unclear if it was meant romantically or platonically. After finding Victor in the present day they worked together to stop Ultron, Victor's true father, from turning him into a sleeper agent set to destroy the Avengers.

Two years after the Runaways had drifted apart, Gert and Victor are both "resurrected". Gert was brought back moments before her death via a time machine and Victor's head was sent to Chase by Tony Stark after his "heart" was ripped from his body. Victor and Gert began spending more time together and bounded over trying to find their place in the world after having been dead for a time.

While trying to cheer up Gert, Victor helped repair her time machine so that they could go see a type of butterfly that is now extinct. While waiting for the butterflies, Victor shared his fears over becoming a super-villain like his future self once did. Gert tried to comfort him and as the butterflies appeared the two kissed. They continued to grow closer and after Gert was hurt in a flight Victor makes the decision to regrow/build his body so that he can better protect her.

Fanon
Vicgert is a rare pairing in the Runaways fandom due to its relatively new introduction to canon and many fans already being invested in Gertchase. Regardless, there are still those who enjoy the ship and hoped to see Victor introduced into the TV series so that he and Gert can interact.
