PerSalle

PerSalle is a shipper used to describe the former potential romantic relationship between deceased NCIS Special Agent, Christopher LaSalle and former NCIS turned FBI Agent, Sonja Percy on NCIS: New Orleans.
==Overview==
Christopher LaSalle was an NCIS Special Agent and second-in-command of the NCIS New Orleans Team and Sonja Percy was originally an agent with the ATF. In Season 1, Sonja and LaSalle first met when Percy was undercover and she helped the team take down Batfish. By the beginning of Season 2, Percy had resigned from the ATF and joined NCIS, officially becoming the newest member of the New Orleans team. Throughout the series, LaSalle and Percy developed a strong friendship and partnership and affectionally called other their nicknames, Country Mouse and City Mouse. Overtime it became clear that LaSalle and Percy began to develop a romantic connection, first hinting when they shared a heartfelt embrace and almost kissed. 
The chemistry between them remained, but despite LaSalle and Percy acknowledging their feelings, they did not commit to a romantic relationship, knowing it would complicate and possibly affect their work on the team. Aside from the team, LaSalle and Percy did not want to risk losing their friendship or partnership as they cared about each other too much. The romance between them never fully blossomed as Percy left the team after accepting a position to work with the FBI nearing the end of Season 4 and LaSalle was murdered in the beginning of Season 6.
