Scottning is the slash ship between Scott and Lightning from the Total Drama fandom.
Canon[]
Lightning and Scott are both placed together as members of the Toxic Rats at the start of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. In the opening sequence of the season, Scott laughs after seeing Lightning, Mike, and Zoey fall down the river. No major interaction occurs between the two at first, but they seem to be on ambiguous terms with one another. In “Truth or Mutant Shark”, Lightning and Sam both curiously ask Scott about where he was when he gets back; he lies to them about having visited a woman, which gets Lightning's interest. During the first challenge, Lightning restrains Scott as he tries to quit; remarking that he couldn't leave until they won. While Lightning and Scott climb in “Ice Ice Baby”, Lightning enthusiastically shouts his catchphrases with the prefix “sha”, which causes Scott to tell him to shut his mouth out of frustration.
In “Finders Creepers”, Scott comments that he thinks poorly of Lightning and Dawn; contemplating whether he should try to eliminate the jock or even try to eliminate Sam next instead. In “Runaway Model”, Lightning and Scott, along with Brick, form a manly trio and exclude Sam from it due to not finding him manly. The three work well together, but fail to rescue Lindsay after she's captured in a surprise twist. In “Grand Chef Auto”, Lightning manages to convince Fang to give him a lift by promising to lead him to his worst enemy, Scott. And after the challenge, Lightning appears upset with Scott’s win. At the elimination ceremony, when Chris whispers for Scott to choose Lightning, the jock furiously exclaims that Scott should eliminate Jo for her disloyalty. In “Up Up and Away in My Pitiful Balloon”, Lightning accidentally knocks Scott out when extending his fist and bragging about himself. In “Eat, Puke, and Be Wary”, Scott tries to form an alliance with Lighting, and he receives what appears to be a yes. However, in a confessional, Lighting admits he was only tuning Scott - and Cameron too - out, since he was focused on basketball.
Lightning and Scott are once again on the same team in Total Drama All-Stars. In one of the cast promotional arts for the season, Scott is seen with his arms around Lightning and Sam. In “Heroes vs Villains”, Scott at one point refuses to dive. Out of annoyance, Lightning grips Scott and tries to pry him off the rock, saying that he would dive whether he wanted to or not. However, he fails; the two fall on top of each other after knocking the Drama Machine down into the water as well. However, the two high five each other after winning the rights to the McLean spa hotel. While Lightning is away on exile in “Evil Dread”, Scott discusses with his teammates the idea of eliminating him. When Lightning returns to participate in the second challenge, Scott curiously nudges him while asking if he found the immunity idol. In response, Lightning claims that he himself is an immunity idol. However, Scott joins majority of his team in voting against Lightning due to his egotism and idiocy which he displayed during the challenge.
Fanon[]
One of the more popular ships on Lightning's end, Scottning has a decent place in the Total Drama fandom. It is equal in popularity to such ships as Lightsam or Brott, but isn't as popular as Scottney or even Dott. Because of the comedic and enjoyable acquaintanceship between Lightning and Scott combined with their lack of personal animosity, the two are often shipped together. There are six fanfics of the ship romantically on AO3
