Canon[]
Mortal Khanbat
Charlie is trying to sneak off the Waverider again after she starts hearing her sisters voices in her head when she runs into Behrad. Charlie excitedly goes in for a hug while Behrad doesn't really reciprocate it with an awkward look on his face before pulling away and asking Charlie where she was. The two half heartily make conversation on John dying before being interrupted by Zari. Behrad starts to introduce Charlie to his sister before pausing hesitantly leading to Charlie to look at him questioningly, before he ends up call her his friend. They're both left alone in the hallway together after they're all called to the bridge and Zari leaves first. They both put on big fake smiles as Behrad asks Charlie if shes coming the mission briefing and Charlie says yes.
Behrad and Charlie are on a mission with Ava when Charlie tires to go after Genghis khan by herself and asks Behrad to create a distraction for her. Behrad tells Charlie it's too dangerous but Charlie still attempts to anyway causing Behrad repeats that it's too dangerous loudly drawing khan's henchmen attention towards him. This starts a shoot out causing Charlie to happily tell him hes made an awesome distraction and runs off with Behrad chasing after her. Behrad enters a storage room lookig for Charlie only to have a gun pulled on him from behind by Genghis. Charlie tries to sneak attack Genghis only for him to get the upper hand and pull a gun on her, Behrad retaliates by pulling one of Genghis guns on him. This leads to the three of them in a stand off with Charlie telling Behrad to shoot Genghis, Genghis attempts to shoot only for it to end up with all of them finding out neither of them have any ammo in their guns. Genghis breaks the syringe Charlie was holding walks off before telling them they're lucky leaving Behrad and Charlie to look at each other upset .
The whole team come back on the ship with Behrad being upset about the whole ordeal with Khan. Behrad angrily rebuffs Charlie telling him he can stop bullets with the totem so Charlie rolls her eyes and goes to sit down away from him. Charlie mentions being a shapeshifter which peaks Zari interest and Charlie uses this opportunity to flirt with her. Behrad interrupts the flirting, jealous and it causes Charlie to storm off and drink with Mick. Behrad storms off too in order to smoke some weed.
A little bit later Charlie starts hearing her sisters voices again causing her becomes distract and almost gets hit by a truck promoting Behrad to tackle her out of the way with him landing on top of her. They both linger for a mintue then Charlie pushes him off of her and walks away with Behrad looking on in concern. He follows Charlie to the lab where shes trying to steal the time courier to sneak away. He holding the time courier and asks her why shes trying to sneak away, she lies and he tells her he knows that's not the truth. Behrad tells her that he liked her and was hurt when she left without saying goodbye, Charlie smiles at the part where he said he liked but quickly schools her features so she isn't. Behrad says that since he was honest with her can she be honest with him. Charlie tells him that he honestly start to piss her off and he needs to get over them sleeping together because the sex was mediocre. Behrad looks hurt but chooses to ignore it and still asks her to stay because they need help dealing with the encore. She asks for the courier he hands it her and says by as Charlie leaves and her expression looks conflicted as she walks away.
Behrad and Charlie after fighting Genghis Khan
Behrad gets captured by Khan and his Hench men and tells him he's sorry he couldn't save him only for Charlie to that it's her. Charlie tries to fool Genghis by shapeshifting into him only for the real Genghis to threaten to shoot Behrad so she gives up. Genghis says Charlie will be his 13th wife and her powers will make him more stronger, Charlie argues and says she's already had that amount of power before and it sucks and Behrad looks at her curiously. Charlie explains that her past is complicated and that getting into a relationship wouldn't end well for either of them while looking at Behrad. Genghis asks if the two of them hooked up and is disgusted when they confirm and tells his men to kill Charlie. Behrad manages to break free of the Hench mans grip and run in front of Charlie to stop the bullets with his wind totem. Charlie defeats Genghis and they both scare his men away. Charlie says she told him he could stop bullets and Behrad says that wasn't how he wanted to find out, they both laugh and Charlie goes in for another hug. Behrad hugs back this time happily and they pull apart and start heading back to the ship but not before Charlie offers him the tooth pick she stole from Genghis.

Behind the Scenes[]
"What we talked about among ourselves is that Charlie and Behrad literally became best friends," she says. "Just as Charlie and Zari were very close last year by the end, Behrad sort of stepped into that place in this new reality, and they would hang out all the time. They would just kind bro-out together." - Maisie Richardson-Sellers[1]
Fanon[]
Shifterstoner is a rarepair in the fandom despite being canon. With many people reacting negatively to it at first using the ship as evidence to confirm their theory that Zarlie would've became canon if one of them was a man. While other used the ship to confirm that Zarlie would've hooked up after Heyworld too if Behrad didn't replace Zari in the timeline.
People also think the ship came out of nowhere and had little to no interactions past one episode. Leaving people to feel their relationship and friendship are underdeveloped leading their ships with other characters to be more preferred instead. Zarlie and Starshifter for Charlie and Behrastra and Naterad for Behrad respectively. There are currently 3 works of them on A03.
