Rick Grimes/Shane Walsh, also known as Sharick, is a slash pairing of Rick Grimes and Shane Walsh in The Walking Dead fandom.

Sadly, these two do end up in a love triangle as they fight over the same woman. So we’re yet again going to have settle for any bromance they throw away and/or slash fiction as opposed to a gay love story.
