Arya/Gendry – Game of Thrones

Couple: Arya Stark and Gendry=Gendrya

Has it Gone Canon: I mean kind of…sort of…It was left pretty open-ended.

Why We Ship It: Despite the fact that Gendry (Joe Demise) has been rowing that stupid boat since season three, he and Arya (Maisie Willaims) were the absolutely most! She was considerably younger at the time and nothing in particular happened but the chemistry was written into every scene.

Gendry figured out the truth about Arya and promised to keep her secret. They escaped Harrenhal Hall together and Arya was so angry with Melisandre (Carice van Houtem) for taking Gendry away the Red Woman ended up on her list of names and has remained there.

Once instances in particular that clearly defines the ship is when Gendry tells Arya that she wouldn’t be his family, she’d be his lady. Maisie has said she was told to play her last line as if she said, “I love you.”
