Jekyon is the slash ship between Henry Jekyll and Hastie Lanyon from the Jekyll and Hyde and The Glass Scientists fandom.
Canon[]
Jekyll and Lanyon had been research partners for a long time, since they both worked on their doctorate at the same time. However, when Utterson visits Lanyon to inquire about Jekyll, Lanyon confirms that he hadn’t been actively meeting with Jekyll for almost a decade now, since they had a disagreement over their methods that caused them to drift apart. However, Lanyon tells Utterson that he heard nothing of a man with the last name Hyde, as Utterson grew incredibly concerned over Jekyll passing all of his belongings down to a known criminal by that name.
When Utterson visits Jekyll for dinner and brings up the topic of Jekyll’s will, Jekyll notes that he hadn’t seen a man so distressed since Lanyon told him off for what Jekyll described as “his scientific heresies”. Though Jekyll clarifies that he always thought of Lanyon as a good man and that he wanted to meet him more often. However, Jekyll felt so insulted by Lanyon’s words that he claimed he was never more disappointed in a man.
However, a year later, Jekyll had invited a number of his friends, including Utterson and Lanyon for dinner. Jekyll seemed happy to see Lanyon and Utterson noted how good it feels to see the three of them together again. However, when Jekyll was isolating himself yet again not even half a week later, Utterson went to Lanyon instead only to find the poor man in critical condition. When Utterson inquired why, Lanyon said that he had a shock, and is already aware that he won’t recover from it. But when Utterson mentions that Jekyll isn’t well either, Lanyon snaps at him to never mention Jekyll to him again, for he is dead to Lanyon. Utterson, concerned that he, Jekyll and Lanyon will only have each other for the rest of their lives, Lanyon tells Utterson to ask Jekyll to confirm that nothing can fix their friendship. When Utterson tells Lanyon that Jekyll won’t see him either, Lanyon tells him that he’s not surprised, hoping that Utterson will find out the truth about Jekyll after Lanyon had passed. When Lanyon told him that they can talk about anything but Jekyll, Utterson went home to write a letter to Jekyll, demanding he shall explain what happened between them. He would receive an answer the next day, with Jekyll saying that he doesn’t blame Lanyon but agrees that they shouldn’t meet again. He wants to remain secluded from now on, but Utterson gets suspicious that the situation with Lanyon had to have some deeper meaning. Lanyon wound up being so weakened by the aftermath that he was bedridden a week later, then died a fortnight later. However, prior to passing away, Lanyon wrote a last letter to Utterson, writing instructions begging him not to open it until Jekyll is confirmed dead.
However, after Utterson finally receives entrance by Jekyll’s staff and finds Hyde dead when storming the cabinet with them, they find a note written by Jekyll. As it turns out, Lanyon had sent him a narrative so that Utterson would know the truth, with Jekyll respecting his late friend’s last wish and packaging it alongside a last letter to Utterson and an updated will inheriting all his belongings to Utterson instead of Hyde.
Lanyon’s narrative contains his point of view on the story: After receiving the envelope Jekyll sent him to invite him to dinner that one night, he was surprised that Jekyll would care to send a private envelope to him. Reading the envelope has Jekyll confess to Lanyon that he considers him one of his oldest friends, willing to let bygones be bygones and claiming he would even sacrifice his left hand if it helped him in peril. However, the invite also contains instructions to carry a drawer of contents from Jekyll’s home to Cavendish Square, then wait with it until late into the night for a man to arrive in his name and take the drawer. However, should the letter have arrived a day late, Jekyll will warn him that it would probably the last time he’ll ever hear from him. Upon finishing the letter, Lanyon thought Jekyll’s requests were insane, but found himself unable to deny them. So Lanyon did as Jekyll told him, but also took care to examine the contents of the drawer, finding strange substances that he had difficulty naming. But when he prepared the messenger to arrive, he also placed a loaded revolver near him, just to be safe. As scheduled, Mr. Hyde arrived at midnight and Lanyon let him in, but noted that Hyde would only enter after checking for policemen nearby. But as the visitor showed impatience, noting it annoyed Lanyon, he changed his tune and Lanyon finally gave him the drawer. With many theatrics, Hyde prepared a potion in front of Lanyon and gulped it down, making sure that Lanyon saw the change. At first, Lanyon had no idea what was going on, but then as he saw the result, he jumped back in shock as he recognized Jekyll’s features on what was Hyde just a moment ago. When Jekyll explained Lanyon everything that happened, Lanyon was so sick that he could barely bring himself to write it down. Eventually, the shock Jekyll had given him would be thing that claimed his life.

Since Jekyll remains cordial with Lanyon even after the latter claimed he was dead to him, many wonder if they were ever romantically involved.
