Fanon[]
Although this ship is largely overshadowed with rivaling ships such as Aleheather, Duncney, and Gwuncan, it's still relatively common in the fandom, when compared to other fanon ships. Mainly, their ship is inspired by Duncan's short-lived attraction to Heather in the former half of Total Drama Island. The chemistry between Heather being disgusted by Duncan's passes at her was received well by fans and some wish this dynamic would have been touched upon more before Duncan fell for Courtney and essentially abandoned this plot. Both of them have personalities that mesh very well together too, even more so than Heather and Alejandro, which many fans consider to be, at least just a little, forced and cheesy. With both Duncan and Heather being villainous all-star players, who cause trouble in similar ways, albeit for different reasons.
Heather's evil is more grounded and strategic. Every time she enacts an evil plan, she always has a clear endgame in mind, which is to benefit herself. Meanwhile, Duncan is more of a wild card, who recklessly causes chaos just for the sake of acting up and getting attention, with little to gain from it besides having fun doing it. If these two got together and joined forces, their plans could lead to a beautiful blend of disarray, leading to them being an unstoppable power couple.
The ship has over 10 stories on AO3 and 7 stories on Wattpad. The various shipping names for the couple also have plentiful tags on DeviantArt and Tumblr.
