Singhway is the slash ship between David Singh and Hartley Rathaway from the DC Comics fandom.
Canon[]
David and Hartley started a relationship after Hartley reformed from being a criminal. The two kept their relationship a secret, as David had concerns over other reaction to their relationship. Both in terms of Hartley being a former villain, and fear of homophobia. With them most of the time playing off that the two were just friends. This put a strain on the two's relationship, as Hartley wanted to be more open about the two being together and wanted David to accept their relationship.
Fear[]
Hartley is in David's office, who is already mad that he's showing up as well as dropping some news to him. David asks what he's afraid of, and David says that Hartley wanting to go out a be a vigilante while they denounce the Flash is the problem. Hartley says that's why he's doing this, and with The Flash gone, the city needs the Pied Piper. David says that the city doesn't need another vigilante, nor does he need Hartley showing up at his work where people can see the two of them. Hartley believes that David is only worried that people will start talking, but David tries to play it that having a known vigilante show up is the problem. Hartley says to stop making this about Pied Piper, when it's clearly about the two of them and asks how anyone will ever accept their relationship if David won't. They're interrupted by Patty, who leaves quickly and Hartley tells David that he can keep his secrets, but hiding everything isn't the answer.

David Singh is somewhat of a rarepair in the DC fandom. This is due to the two both being supporting characters, and not having as much page time as other canon comic couples. Their relationship in the comics was often considered a positive representation of LGBT+ characters within comics. Fans of their relationship are often disappointed with The Flash tv series. As it had both David and Hartley but the two never interacted, let alone had them be in a relationship. Instead having them get with characters that were exclusive to the TV series. On AO3, Singhway is the second most written ship for David. There are currently 65+ written works.
