-Shipping Name Origin
"HardenShipping" was coined sometime between 21 December 2005[Notes 1] and 07 September 2006.[1] It's a play on how they're both high ranking admins of their respective teams.
As of the 2020s, the name is somewhat unpopular with shippers. AsheShellShipping is a proposed alternative by spaghetsquid.[2]

Fan Fic
- The Scent of Chlorine by thelinksthatconnectus (orphan_account), Archived version (2014), "Hey, are you the snack counter girl?" Courtney was sure that she had jumped a few feet in the air. Her Poochyena awoke with a yelp, and Courtney's book fell from her hands and onto her lap with a thump. Teenagers AU.
- I’m a Cyborg (but that’s okay) by Loveotomy, Archived version (2016), There had been a brief time in her life during which Courtney had mistakenly thought herself to be a flesh-and-blood human being, but that was a long time ago. Rated Explicit. Written for Femslash February.
