SHIPS

A list of ships present in the fandom. This list will be updated as the Library finds fics with these pairings.

At times, ships will not have names established in the fandom, and will have portmanteaus or the classic A/B method. The Search will propose names for ships and use them in the Library.

Canon Relationships

These ships appear in the films!

Teddy/Sacajawea: Canon as of NatM 1; ambiguous as of NatM 4.; Oddly enough, while they appear in a large number of fics, very few are actually about them. They settle nicely into the background.
Flyin' Aces (Larry Daley/Amelia Earhart): Popular during Era 1, but has waned in modern fics. Often seen in non-English fics.
Tilly/Laaa: Canon during NatM 3.
Merenkahre/Shepseheret: Canon during NatM 3.; A similar situation to Teddy/Wea, where few fics are actually about them.
Nick Daley/Mia: Canon as of NatM 4.

Named Ships

These ships were already given names before the Search started its fanfic library.

Jedtavius (Jedediah/Octavius)

The fandom's undeniable juggernaut. A good 80% of all fics made involve them being together in some form.

Alternative names: Jedetavius, Jedius, Octediah, Octavediah, Tiny OTP, TinyManLove

Tablet Guardians (Larry Daley/Ahkmenrah)

Fairly popular during Era 1 and Era 2, but has lost popularity in Era 3.

Knightguard (Larry Daley/Lancelot)

Inspired by the deleted scene where Lancelot kisses Larry's hand; and the same scene in one of the novels.

Capoleon (Al Capone/Napoleon Bonaparte)

In what other fandom would you get this? Uncommon, but not rare.

Femslash Figures (Sacajawea/Joan of Arc)

They hugged. That's enough for the lesbians. Bless 'em! This name was proposed by @riv_styx on this post.

Alternative names: Sacajoan, Jowea, Girlbosses, Horse Girls, Passes the Bechdel Test

Museum Dads (Larry Daley/Leslie McPhee)

Also known as LarPhee. Boss-worker relationships are always fun.

Pharaohcest (Ahkmenrah/Kahmunrah)

I don't think murder counts as "wincest", folks.

Search-Named Ships

The following ships have been given names by the Search after surpassing the limit of a "rare pair" (15 fics).

Courtly Love (Ahkmenrah/Lancelot)

The name comes from the fact that they are a royal and a knight. Courtly love is a concept in medieval Islamic poetry and Arthurania.

Graduation Date: 4 March 2025
Alternative names: Ahkmenlot
