Forever Alone is the cargo ship between Mercury Black and Cinder Puppet from the RWBY fandom.
Canon[]
In Season 1 Episode 21, after Weiss asks Ruby for Cinder's last name due to her not sounding familiar. Ruby thought of multiple possible words that rhyme with Fall (which is Cinder's last name) a movie scene label saying "Cinder Doll" which showed Mercury playing with a Cinder puppet and pitching his voice to 'match' hers. His roleplay was funny to Emerald and actually made her laugh.
In Season 3 Chapter 5 of RWBY Chibi. Mercury is seen sitting in a chair with a puppet that looks like Cinder on his arm. Then cinder puppet "tells him" that he's her favorite henchmen and question why she even keep the others around. She then proceeds to diss Emerald, Roman and Neo, with Mercury agreeing. She then tells him he makes her feel all "girly" to which he also agrees. Emerald, Neo and Roman are then shown standing behind him glaring while he casually continues dissing them to cinder puppet.
She then "confesses" to him that she wishes they could run away and start a family together. He tells her he's always known and proceeds to "kiss" her. The real Cinder then suddenly appears and snaps him out of his daydream by setting Cinder puppet on fire. She then threatens to barbeque Mercury if he ever does something that creepy ever again. The others then proceed to leave with Roman saying he almost feels sorry for Mercury. Emerald then says that's probably the closest thing he'll ever get to having a "real" girlfriend. Neo however responds by lifting up a sign saying: "I don't" and whacks him with before leaving angrily.
Mercury then proceeds to take out another Cinder puppet from behind him. "She" then asks him where her twin sister is to which Mercury starts tearing up. In "Nefarious Dreams", she is seen "sleeping" next to Mercury underneath his pillow, while he's asleep. In the episode where everyone goes on vacation Cinder puppet is shown sticking out of Mercury's suitcase. In Cinder Who, while Ruby is guessing what rhymes with Fall at one point she says Cinder doll and the scene pans to Mercury with Cinder puppet making Emerald laugh.
