Constandes

Constandes is the slash ship between Constantine and Desmond from the Legends of Tomorrow fandom.

Canon
Just after the Legends inadvertently release magical fugitives into the mortal realm, Constantine spends some time in New Orleans. At a local bar, he is served by Desmond and they share an instant connection. They spend the night together and despite John's aversion to any emotional attachment to others, in spite of himself, he falls in love. Desmond and John start a relationship and move in together in New Orleans. Not long after John is being targeted by the demon Neron that owns Constantine's soul and, to try and protect Des, John implores Des to get away from him. Instead, Des decides to give himself up to the demon in an attempt to save John.

As they are bound together, John has to damn Desmond to hell along with Neron for the sake of the world and crumbles with grief in heartbreak as Desmond is thrown into hell. Drowning his sorrows and meandering grief-stricken, John reluctantly joins the Legends when they need his help with the magical fugitives. John secretly hopes to find a way to save Des, his sole reason for teaming up with the Legends.

Fanon
When Constantine was getting flashbacks of a mysterious man, Legends/Constantine fans were speculating who it was. Constantine fans thought the Legends crew had recast Manny or that it was the Legends big bad (not exactly wrong). When it was revealed that he was John's boyfriend, LGBT fans flipped out and were quick to the ship the two.

Fans of the NBC Constantine series, were upset that Constantine's bisexuality wasn't seen. When it was announced that he would be on Legends, fans were excited when it was also announced that he would be explicitly bi. When it was revealed that Constantine had a boyfriend during the off season, fans were extremely excited. This was also a rare occurrence given that many bisexual male characters aren't shown in serious relationships with those of the same gender.

On AO3 it is the most written ship for Desmond.
