Ezekiel/Heather

Ezekiel/Heather, mostly known as Heathekiel, is a very rare, but once somewhat common, pairing within Total Drama fandom. The ship is between Heather and Ezekiel. While Heather is a prominent character in the series, Ezekiel is less so.
The pairing is mostly associated with early (2008-2010) Total Drama fandom as a non-controversial fanon pairing for Heather. During this time, it was unpopular for fans to ship characters who were canonically in a relationship as of Total Drama: Island (2007), so this pairing was seen as suitable for Heather and Ezekiel in some fan circles, though fanworks just about them and their relationship was always rare. It was mostly a background pairing. It is notably the end-game ship for Ezekiel in Total Drama Comeback, the most favorited Total Drama fic on FanFiction.Net. The Kobold Necromancer, the author of Comeback, may have created it.Heather and Ezekiel? Why, what a bizarre pairing! Who would do something like that? It's crazy! It's crack fanon to the max! Honestly! Who inspired THAT? ( 08 Oct 2011)
The pairing fell out of fashion by 2009 and became rare after Heather and Alejandro were implied to be canon in Total Drama: World Tour.

In late 1992, Rik De Clercq, Yves De Meyer, Steven Smet and Emmanuel Van Melkebeke wanted to find more like-minded people, and came up with the idea to start a convention. They had met each-other as customers of a local comic book store. On March 27, 1993, approximately 40 visitors came to "Het Tonneke", a café in Ghent, for the first FACTS convention.“30 years of FACTS: or how 4 "nerds" created one of the biggest events in Europe” (Dutch)
