Ororo Munroe/Logan Howlett

Ororo/Logan, also known as RoLo, is the het pairing of Logan Howlett (Wolverine) and Ororo Munroe (Storm) from the X-Men series and its adaptations. Well known within X-Men fandom, they appear to have reached the height of their popularity in the early 2000s, although, there are still many fans of the pairing. 
With the constant changes within the comics fandom and the various adaptations many new fans are being introduced to the pairing, and are inspired to create fanworks that explore their friends to lovers dynamic, their domestic home life within the X-mansion, and various kinks.
==Canon==
In the early comics Logan and Ororo were often shown to have a flirty relationship. They even kissed once in Uncanny X-Men Annual #11 (1987), but their relationship never progressed beyond friendship. Many fans trace their love for the pairing to One Man's Worth, an episode in X-Men: The Animated Series, that showed Logan and Ororo in a romantic relationship in an alternative universe. A similar storyline was seen in the original movieverse, when once again, it was shown that Logan and Ororo were together in an alternative universe. The late 2010s comics storyline had Ororo begin a romantic relationship with Logan after her divorce from T'Challa.
==Fandom==
The peak popularity for this pairing appears to be the late 1990s to early 2000s, but there are still many devoted fans of the pairing, and newer comics storylines and adaptations often draws in new fans. According to AO3 in 2023, this pairing is the most popular het ship for Ororo and the third most popular het ship for LoganAccording to a search of the AO3 stats done for these characters on November 23, 2023. 
===Common Tropes in Fanworks===
*Hurt/Comfort: there doesn't seem to be a strong preference for who experiences the hurt and who provides the comfort. Because they are both high powered mutants fans will often have to come up with creative ways to hurt them in their fanworks. Many fanworks will focus solely on the comfort aspect and have the pair comforting each other after canon or fanon traumatic events, or will be more about emotional hurt/comfort. 
*Friends to Lovers: because of their canonical friendship many fanworks explore the possibility of that friendship deepening. 
*Mundane AU: alternative universes where they do not have their mutant powers. It is not unusual to have all the X-Men still be friends in these stories, and Ororo and Logan would first meet under different circumstances.
*Domestic Fic: their everyday lives as a couple, often living at the X-mansion and teaching at Xavier's school
*Futurefic: where they are in an established relationship, sometimes married with children
*BDSM: femdom is not uncommon. In some fanworks there is also the exploration of kinks, often with Ororo using her powers to control weather elements like temperature and electricity in the bedroom. It is also not unusual in fanworks to have Ororo cause spontaneous weather events during climax, like thunderstorms or snowstorms. 
*Jean Bashing: many stories will portray Jean Grey in a very negative light, often contrasting how poorly Jean treated Logan against how well Ororo would treat him 
===Terminology===
Their ship name, RoLo, comes from combining two letters of each of their names, OroRO/LOgan. Who first coined the term is unknown, and although there have been other ship names throughout the years, this is the one most commonly used
