History
Common Ships
- Balence - By far the most popular Valence ship in the fandom; also popular with the show's cast.[1] Valence and Broun begin as coworkers and over time become very close and "intimate" friends who have a profound impact on one another's lives. Much is also made in fandom of their two-way telepathic link.
- Gurvalence - Valence is also sometimes shipped with Gur Sevraq, a religious figure and purported prophet who worships the same god as Valence. Gur and Valence develop a close relationship in canon.
- Gurbalence - The popularity of Balence and relative popularity of Gurvalence gave rise to a Gur/Broun/Valence OT3.

[...] Whenever they were together on screen, [Austin] would be like, 'Yeah, I’m into this, because I ship them.' And me and Dre would be like, 'Yeah. We get it. It’s sexy and it’s good.'"
