Paris/Kim

Paris/Kim is the slash pairing of Tom Paris and Harry Kim in Star Trek Voyager fandom. 
==Fandom==
From a fan in 2018: 
=== Terminology ===
When Voyager was originally airing the pairing was often referred to as P/K, a short form that was easy to use on mailing lists and forums. Newer fans have given them the smushname of Kimris.
===Common Tropes in Fanworks===
*Episode Tags: missing scenes, or the aftermath, of episodes concentrating on Paris and Kim
*The Chute: a pivotal episode for these characters, many fans will write codas that deal with the aftermath of their imprisonment, and use it as a catalyst for Tom and Harry to comfort each other and become closer
*Hurt/Comfort: most commonly with Hurt Harry and Tom providing the comfort. Although, it is also not unusual to find fanworks where they comfort each other after traumatic events
*Friends to Lovers: because they have a close canonical friendship many fics will feature their friend relationship developing into a romantic one
*Holodeck: experiencing simulations together, those created by Tom, like Captain Proton, or others created by fans
*Away Missions: Tom and Harry on away missions together, sometimes including classic Trek elements like shuttle crashes or being captured by aliens 
*Alternative Universes: them in a relationship in an alternative timeline, those shown in canon, like Trek's Mirror Universe, or ones created by fanfiction writers
*Deathfic or Near Death: stories where Harry outlives Tom, and has to deal with his grief, seem to have been popular at one point, usually with canon events going very wrong and resulting in Tom's death. Near death fics where Harry thinks Tom has died resulting in much angst, only for Tom to turn up alive later, were also found
*Top/Bottom Dynamics: Top Tom tends to be slightly more popular, but it is not that uncommon to find the reverse 
*Polyamory or Threesome: the most popular choice for a third partner being Tom's canonical wife B'Elanna Torres
