Stannis Baratheon/Davos Seaworth, also known as Stavos, is the slash pairing of Stannis Baratheon and Davos Seaworth in the A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones fandoms.

They have the most beautiful and pure relationship there is and I like that there’s always a certain ambiguity in their scenes.

Canon

Before the beginning of the series Davos saves Stannis' life when he brings food to a castle under siege, his rewarded with a knighthood. After the death of Stannis' brother Robert, Stannis declares himself to be King, believing that Robert's children are illegitimate. Stannis names Davos Hand of the King. Stannis tries to take the city of Kings Landing, but untimely fails during the Battle of the Blackwater. During the battle Davos' son is killed and Davos nearly dies. When Davos returns he blames the Red Woman, Melisandre and tries to kill her. Stannis has Davos imprisoned, but eventually sets Davos free. When Stannis hears of the threat at The Wall he travels north and defeats the Wildlings. Stannis travels south to fight the Boltons, but is defeated by Ramsay Bolton, and killed by Brienne of Tarth. Davos is at Castle Black when he learns of Stannis' death.
