The fifth volume of the first Aquaman Annual reveals that Arthur and Diana had met before she became Wonder Woman.[1] Arthur saw Diana in water related trouble with Triton and used his Atlantian abilities to save her from him, but the Amazon princess didn't want help from a man. Still Arthur was persistent and managed to get Diana back to the safety of her home island, seconds before he gets roped into an underwater battle with Triton. Wanting to know if her saviour was alright, Diana waited on the beach as the sun set and the moon rose when Arthur finally resurfaced. Diana was happy to see that he was alright and introduces herself to him, before asking for his name and how he managed to avoid Triton. Arthur explains that it became clear to Triton that Diana was lost to him. As Diana was telling Arthur what Triton had told her, she stops herself when she notices Arthur walking closer to the island. No man was allowed to set foot on the island of the Amazons and after she explains this to him, Arthur subjects that she comes back into the water with him. Diana explains that her mother wouldn't like that with her being the Queen of the Amazons, despite Arthur's joke of his mother being a dolphin he doesn't push her. Having a feeling that they may never see each other again, Arthur tells Diana that he had never met someone he wanted to kiss so much in his life before. Diana replies to his words with "I know", before seeing Arthur swim away from the island.
Flashpoint[]

Orin and Diana meeting for the peace treaty
In paradox that came to be known as Flashpoint, from preventing the death of Barry Allen's mother, it set a string of events that led to Aquaman and Wonder Woman having an affair. The affair started after the two and their kingdoms aided one another in a battle with an unknown enemy, and found themselves being attracted to one another while they were making a truce. The King of Atlantis and the Queen of the Amazons would meet in secret, until Queen Mera caught them making love to one another and confronts Diana without her husband's knowledge. The Amazon responds by killing Mera and sends her head to him as a gift. Enraging Aquaman and declares war on the Amazons, a war that destroys half the world and gets the world's heroes involved. After many Atlantians died in her wake, Wonder Woman defeats Aquaman and then kills him when she had him on his knees. This timeline and the damage done during it gets erased when the Flash fixes the key event that created it in the first place.

AquaWonder is a rarepair within the DC fandom. With the two having canon love interests, and the limited interactions between them.
Half of the ship's support came from Flashpoint, with it having the two as a couple before becoming enemies. Some AquaWonder shippers, however, prefer to not dwell on that later fact on their Flashpoint counterparts. As the paradox universe itself was one of the sources that gave people the idea to ship them.
After DCEU released its Justice League film, it got AquaWonder supporters to feature their live-action versions together. Even though the two didn't have that many interactions in the film or the extended universe itself.
