Valenvaef

Valenvaef is the het ship between Jill Valentine and Nicholai Ginovaef from the Resident Evil fandom.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999)
On the night of 28th September 1998, after the Arklay Incident, Jill Valentine finds herself in the midst of the chaos in Raccoon City. Reluctantly, she decides to lend her help to three members of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (UBCS): one of them was sgt. Nicholai Ginovaef. Although he and the other two members, Carlos Oliveira and Mikhail Viktor, were mercenaries associated with Umbrella, the organization that had caused her many problems in the past, Jill decided to collaborate with them to repair a tram they were hiding in. Nicholai, secretly aware of Nemesis's mission, later decided to stage his own death to avoid being killed by the B.O.W.

After being unconscious for a few days because of the infection suffered by Nemesis and treated with the vaccine that Carlos Oliveira had managed to recover at the hospital in Raccoon City, Jill learned that sgt. Ginovaef was still alive. She later met him near Raccoon Park, where the latter revealed the true objective of his mission; however, he was unable to kill her, due to the sudden appearance of a Grave Digger.

Their last meeting takes place in the Incineration Disposal Plant P-12A: here Nicholai, after being able to take possession of a helicopter, once again tried to kill her and get the bonus but, aware of the imminent missile attack that would soon destroy Raccoon City, he left the woman to her fate and fled from the city.

Resident Evil 3 (2020)
In September of 1998, while in the infected Raccoon City, Jill hears a noise coming from the other side of the door. Jill finds a wounded man sitting against car, as she attempts to help the man, another man, Nicholai Ginovaef, comes up and shoots the other in the head. Jill jumps back and curses him out. Nicholai looks at Jill, telling her, “We don't need a bleeding heart like you getting in the way.” With that, Nicholai walks up a flight of stairs, leaving Jill alone.

Jill and Nicholai meet again briefly when Nicholai sees her upon returning back to the subway station. He questions Carlos why she’s there, deeming her to be “unreliable” and “can’t pull a trigger when it counts”. Carlos tells him to take it easy. As Nicholai walks way, Carlos apologizes to Jill on behalf of Nicholai, claiming “everyone is a little worked up”.

Jill and Nicholai meet again abroad the subway car, where Nicholai slow claps, telling Jill, ''“You see. You’re learning. The only life that matters is your own.”'' A short time later, Jill is again attacked by Nemesis, as Jill runs for the next train car to escape it. Nicholai taunts her by locking her out, saying that Nemesis isn’t after him.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse
In the 2004 movie, which is based on the events narrated in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, there is a scene in which Nicholai Ginovaef (who, unlike the character from the video game saga, in this case is an ally and has no bad intentions) saves Jill from the attack of a Zombie Dog.
