I just realized ScaryZee is actually less of a crackship than I thought.
Like yeah, Zee is the only one canonically not afraid of Lauren, and it's not a stretch to think she'd love hearing gorey stories about how he "lost his leg." But despite his chill demeanor, Zee is also a thrillseeker: see his enthusiasm for the catapult challenge in season one and the waterslide challenge in season two, plus the recently-leaked beta version of Zee's audition clip that shows him skydiving. In other words, he loves doing stuff that's scary and dangerous, which dovetails nicely with Lauren's canonical love of horror.
God, I'm honestly a little ashamed it took me this long to realize this. Not promising anything, but may need to rectify that with a fic where Zee and Lauren go on a date that invovles him taking her along on some thrilling activity like hang-gliding or something.
