Jabian (J/oy and F/abian) is the friendship or otherwise romantic pairing of Joy Mercer and Fabian Rutter. The two didn't have a lot of screen time together in Season 1 due to Joy's disappearance, and spent Season 2 rebuilding their friendship. In The Secrets Within: Secret Scene, Joy said she still liked him. It is certain that Joy liked Fabian before she disappeared, but unknown whether or not Fabian liked her. Patricia has said to Joy that they aren't actually going out. During Season 2, Joy did everything in her power to get Fabian back from Nina. After Joy published a mean article about Nina, Fabian was no longer her best friend. After Joy and Fabian won Senet together, Joy asked Fabian "Friends?" and he shook her hand in agreement, meaning that Jabian had come to good terms again. Joy also has a nickname for Fabian - Fabes. Although they kissed it was only because Fabian thought she was Nina. In Season 3, Joy and Fabian have a very volatile relationship. Joy and Fabian were initally on good terms and the two began becoming very close. However, after Fabian had rejected Joy, the two now rarely interact and have become quite distant, with Fabian working with Sibuna, and Joy was helping Mara and Willow. Since Joy has become interested in Jerome Clarke, Jabian did not happen in Season 3 and it is unknown if Jerome and Joy will split so Jabian could still have a chance.
