Mr. Orange/Mr. White

Mr. Orange/Mr. White is the primary slash pairing for the Reservoir Dogs fandom between Freddy Newandyke and Mr. White, and the most popular relationship by far. The ship is alternately called Creamsicle, which is a searchable pairing name on sites like Tumblr. 
==Canon==
After a brief introductory scene, the film opens with a bloody, gutshot Freddy in the back of a car driven by Mr. White as they rush to a warehouse. The two men are notably physically intimate throughout the film. Freddy spends the majority of the film slowly bleeding out in the warehouse while Mr. White and the other characters discuss a diamond heist went wrong. Through flashbacks, we learn that Freddy - code name Mr. Orange - is actually an undercover cop. Mr. White, not knowing this, spends the film defending Mr. Orange from the suspicions of the others. After a three-way Mexican-standoff shootout involving Joe Cabot and "Nice Guy" Eddie Cabot, who arranged the heist, Mr. White is critically injured. The movie ends with Freddy admitting he is a cop, and it is implied that Mr. White shoots him, and is killed by police in turn immediately afterward. 
==Fandom==
The homoerotic subtext and queer-coding between these two characters is a major draw for many fans and the subject of many fanworks, with most fans considering this film a quintessential gay tragedy and joking that it qualifies as a romance film. 
 
As of Feb 2021, this pairing tag was found in 304 of the 529 fanfics for Reservoir Dogs on AO3, making it overwhelmingly the most popular pairing.
==Common Tropes==
* Angst, particularly surrounding Freddy's concealed identity 
* Hurt/Comfort, which is considered a canon element of the film due to Freddy's wound and the way Mr. White takes care of him
* Post-canon Fix-it fics, sometimes where both of them survive the events of the film

===Fanfiction===
* Cut My Throat by Delphi. The problem with trust is that it's a two-way street, and Freddy has a lead foot. The fic with the highest Kudos for the fandom as of Jan 2021. Written in 2012 for the resdog-kink community on LJ. Prompt: "Orange/White, shaving kink - White suggests a trust-building exercise, and he hands Orange a straight razor."
