Benji/Ethan is the pairing between IMF agents Ethan Hunt and Benji Dunn. It is currently the biggest slash ship in the Mission: Impossible fandom[note 1].

Canon

Ethan and Benji's first interaction on screen takes place during the events of Mission: Impossible III. Benji is introduced as a technician working in the IMF headquarters and he helps Ethan recover valuable information from a damaged hard drive. Later on, he risks his job by agreeing to guide Ethan through the streets of Shanghai.

Benji completes his training and becomes a field agent between Mission: Impossible III and Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and, from then on, joins Ethan for most of his missions.

  • Say "Io Ti Amo" by chaostheoryy, Hacking into triple encrypted security systems and sneaking into an opera to search for a terrorist is easy. Going undercover as the boyfriend of the devilishly charming Ethan Hunt? Now that is a whole other level of complicated.
  • Easy Open by Helenish, “So you and Hunt are a package deal these days,” Bryson says. “Uh,” Benji says, jerking his head up from his computer, ballpoint in his mouth.
  • Touch by alexandriabrown, Ethan glanced over at Benji, frowning a bit as Benji shook out his hands. It was at least the third time that he’d done that in the last hour, not that Ethan was counting.
  • When the Nightmares Came by why_am_i_pluto, After returning from London, Benji plans to hide away and get past his ordeal alone. Ethan has other intentions.
