Salarry

Salarry is the family/slash ship between Sal Fisher and Larry Johnson from the Sally Face fandom.

Episode One - Strange Neighbors
The two first meet each other after Sal moves into Addison Apartments with his father. After exploring the complex for a little while, a janitor named Lisa hands Sal a keycard to enter the basement so he can talk to her son, commenting on how the two are most likely the same age. When he finds him, Larry tells Sal that his mask is cool and Sal replies with his signature 'it's a prosthetic' line.

After Larry confided in Sal what he witnessed at Mrs. Sanderson's apartment, the two teamed up to help lead the police into arresting Charlie Mansfield, the man that Larry claimed to have witness murder her. The two pick up walkie-talkies to use to communicate and keep them long after this event and become best friends thereafter.

Episode Two - The Wretched
Sal, who had fallen asleep while hanging out with Larry, had awoken from a nightmare he had and chose to tell him about it. After hearing it, Larry takes Sal out to his treehouse in the snow and yet again confides in Sal. Larry tells him about how his father disappeared and how he thinks he's been cursed by a demon with red eyes. Sal tells Larry that he has seen that exact demon and promises to help him break his curse.

Sal takes Larry to the fifth floor to attempt to make contact with a ghost girl he'd previously made contact with before named Megan, but after a failed attempt Larry suggests to him that Todd may have some insight as he is the resident 'paranormal investigator' of the complex. After gathering good information, Sal and Larry return to the fifth floor together again where Megan's contact was then successful thanks to the help of Todd. The duo learn from Megan that Megan's dad was friend's with Larry's dad and the two decide to talk to Stacy, Megan's mother.

They enter Stacy's bedroom and summon her ghost which doesn't talk before disappearing. Sal ventures onward into the room and instead summons another spirit, Megan's father, who hung himself due to the guilt of killing his daughter and wife. The apparitions attempts to attack Sal, but Larry protects him. Larry realized afterwards that the disappearance of his father wasn't the result of a curse and starts to cry, and is hugged and comforted by Sal.

Episode Three - The Bologna Incident
After awakening from another dream sequence, Sal meets with Ashley outside class in the hallways at school. After a short while, Sal's bully, Travis Phelps, decides to approach him. Sal ends up being punched by him so hard he bleeds and Larry is seen to be extremely angered by this. He wants to get revenge, but Sal tells him to drop it. The trio joke about how Travis is most likely angry because Bologna day was moved to be one day later, which is tomorrow.

During Bologna day, the group of teenagers are disgusted by the taste and quality. Sal and Larry decide to pry the lunch lady for it's source, but only agrees to do so once Sal hands her a photograph of birds. They learn that the meat is supplied by Mrs. Packerton, who happens to live at Addison Apartments.

Sal and Larry manage to break into the apartment together, where they find evidence of sinister activities. They are able to come into contact with the ghost of a goat who Mrs. Packerton slaughtered, presumably for meat, and they also find Mrs. Packerton's thought-to-be-dead husband alive and chained to a bed with a respirator and life support hooked to him. Sal reluctantly puts the man out of his misery by unplugging the life support and the two immediately hear the front door open after that.

Assuming it was Mrs. Packerton, they hide behind a drawer where they both say their panicked goodbyes to each other thinking that they would soon be killed. As a figure approaches, Larry protects Sal by holding his arms in front of him. The two are relieved to see that it was just Ashley.

Episode Four - The Trial
After a long time skip, the two are now in their early-to-mid twenties, contrary to their usual fifteen-to-seventeen year old selves in the past episodes. The two take a trip to Addison Apartments, in which they are currently in the process of fully moving out of to live with Todd and his boyfriend. They walk around the apartments and reminisce on their teenage years together bittersweetly. Eventually, they reach Sal's old apartment where they find Henry Fisher, Sal's dad, and Lisa Johnson, Larry's mom, sitting on their sofa together cuddling up next to each other. Henry comments about the last time he'd seen the whole family together like this, and Sal says that it was about a week ago.

Later, Sal gets a frightening text message from Larry who is apologizing to Sal and asking him not to blame himself. Sal is confused and asks him what he's talking about. Larry says that it's time for him to go and Sal reprimands him by telling him that he better not be doing anything stupid. Larry tells him that it's too late, he'll be gone soon and Sal tells him that this isn't funny. Larry stops responding after that and Sal rushes to Larry's old treehouse where he finds him dead by suicide. Sal can be heard sobbing over a black screen.

Moments

 * In Episode 2, Sal hugged Larry while the latter cried into his shoulder.
 * In Episode 4, when Sal and Larry enter Todd's bathroom, Todd's mom can be heard saying "did those boys just enter the bathroom togetherrrr? Hehe..." which is obviously implying an innuendo.
 * Sal frequently calls Larry "Larry Face," putting a spin on his own nickname Sally Face.

Fanon
Salarry was one of the most popular ships among the Sally Face fandom in 2016 to 2019, if not the most popular. The ship sailed because to the dynamic between Sal and Larry as the pair became instantaneous best friends after a few hours of knowing each other. They were very emotionally vulnerable with each other which they never appeared to be with anyone else, and their constant being with each other every day is what led to the ship becoming insanely popular.

However, the release of Episode 4: The Trial in 2018 canonized the two as step-brothers as it is revealed that Larry's mother and Sal's father ended up falling in love and getting married over the course of a long time skip. Due to this, some fans decided to stop shipping the pair romantically and instead shipping them as a friendship or familyship, but this was a very small minority and a large portion of fans continued shipping the pair romantically with the excuse that they're not related by blood.

Salarry has 560+ works romantically and 140+ works platonically on AO3. Romantically, the ship is rivaled by Salvis, which currently has just two more romantic works on AO3 than Salarry, and Salash for Sal.
