Alex/Maxwell is the het pairing of Alex Danvers and Maxwell Lord from the Supergirl (TV series) fandom.
Fandom
The Alex/Maxwell pairing appeared after Maxwell and Alex's first meeting[1] and got a boost of interest due to their "dinner date".[2] They also received another large interest boost when they briefly held hands during the season 1 finale.[3] So far, it's a fairly rare pairing in the Supergirl fandom[4] - with few fanworks dedicated to it. Most of the fandom is located on Tumblr with gifsets and picspams the most common thing on the tags. YouTube has a few pairing vids and as of February 18, 2016, 1 fic located at AO3 and at least 2 fics at FFN,[5] which slowly increased over the next year with at least 15 fics at FFN and 49 works at AO3.
Alex/Maxwell has been referred to as "Lanvers" and "Malex" mostly with only a few mentions of "Lordvers",[6] "Danlord", "Lexwell",[7] "Maxlex" and "Alexwell".[8]
Alex/Maxwell got jossed by Season 2 with Alex revealed to be a lesbian and with the disappearance of Maxwell Lord (Since Season 1 he has not appeared in the series, although a few mentions of his company have continued throughout the series).
