On AO3, Flinwood is the most written ship Marcus and the second most written for Oliver. Percy is even sometimes depicted as a rival for Oliver's affection in some Flintwood fics. The ship occasionally rivals the somewhat more common Perciver ship. It is unknown what happened to Marcus, but fanfics often explore the idea that Marcus also went pro, often with Falmouth Falcons, due to their reputation for being violent.
