Blue Cricket is the het ship between the Blue Fairy and Jiminy Cricket from the Pinocchio and Once Upon A Time fandoms.
Canon[]
Pinocchio (1940)[]
After settling down in Geppetto's workshop, Jiminy Cricket is finally hoping for a good night's rest, only to have it interrupted by a blue light shining into the window. As the blue light from the wishing star comes closer into the workshop, Jiminy Cricket wonders what is going on and goes into hiding. The Blue Fairy then emerges from the light and Jiminy Cricket peeks through his hiding spot and begins to smile at the sight of a fairy. He is clearly very smitten with her, though he doesn't fully come into view just yet. Jiminy then watches as the Blue Fairy grants Geppetto's wish for a son by bringing Pinocchio to life, clearly impressed by her abilities. Jiminy watches the newly-born Pinocchio converse with the Blue Fairy, with her promising to make him a real boy if he proves worthy. But when Pinocchio asks how he could be able to tell right from wrong, the Blue Fairy answers his question by saying that his conscience will tell him. Jiminy Cricket is disappointed in Pinocchio and comes into the view of the Blue Fairy to teach him what a conscience is. The Blue Fairy is amused by the cricket and asks him if he wants to be the boy's conscience. Jiminy Cricket is flattered and doesn't deny, the Blue Fairy then officially uses her magic to make Jiminy Cricket into Pinocchio's conscience, cleaning up his dirty and torn clothes in the process. She then leaves after both Jiminy and Pinocchio promise her to do good.
Not wanting to disappoint the Blue Fairy becomes Jiminy's driving motivation throughout the movie and he tries his best to lead Pinocchio on the right path. Though he loses sight of the boy and he falls into clutches of the conmen Honest John and Gideon, who tell him about the joys of the life of an actor, clearly attempting to scam him. They lead Pinocchio into the show of Stromboli, where he gets on the wicked puppet player's good side after showing his ability to move without strings. However, when Pinocchio wants to go home to tell his father about his new job, Stromboli won't let him, leading to Jiminy Cricket fruitlessly attempting to free him from his imprisonment. Jiminy is excited when the Blue Fairy shows up again to come to Pinocchio's rescue, but Pinocchio panics as he has no idea how to explain the situation to her, asking Jiminy for help. Jiminy tells him to simply tell her the truth, before he goes into hiding again. But then the Blue Fairy addresses him directly, leading to him making a futile attempt to save face. When the Blue Fairy asks Pinocchio why he didn't go to school, he lies to her to the disappointment of Jiminy. When the Blue Fairy asks where Sir Jiminy was when Pinocchio was "attacked by monsters", Jiminy begs him to leave him out of the story, but Pinocchio lies again about Jiminy also being captured. Since Pinocchio's nose has grown to the point where he can easily store a bird's nest on it, the Blue Fairy guesses that Pinocchio hasn't told the truth, with Jiminy swiftly agreeing. When the Blue Fairy warns him about lies spiraling out of control, Jiminy once again agrees with her. He begs her to give him another chance, for Jiminy's sake, trying to swoo her with big eyes. The Blue Fairy kindly accepts after both Pinocchio and Jiminy promise to be good again, telling them that this is the last time she can help them, she shrink's Pinocchio's nose and opens the cage for them.
After Pinocchio's adventure, having proved himself worthy of being a real boy by going out of his way to save his father, Jiminy goes again to the wishing star to see the Blue Fairy. She showers him in blue light, creating a "conscience batch" for him out of thin air. He is overjoyed and proudly shows it off to her.

Blue Cricket has some moderate popularity on the Pinocchio side of the fandom, largely because they're the only adults who actually interact in the Disney movie and because of Jiminy's crush on her.
Interestingly, despite being the fandom that coined the ship name, the Once Upon A Time side of the ship doesn't support it, with it being a rarepair at best.
