* PlatonicWritingRomanticReading: According to show creator Creator/RyanMurphy and Cordelia's actress Creator/SarahPaulson, Cordelia and Misty Day have a mother-daughter relationship. However, they are a popular ship within the fandom. Misty's quick hero-worship of Cordelia comes across more like a student who has a crush on her teacher. While Cordelia teaches Misty magic, she even tells her husband to get out so she can do so, making Misty stay when she tries to leave and acts like someone mad that their ex is interrupting their date. Cordelia also quickly grows attached to Misty and is crushed by her death, which haunts her for years, and which she takes harder than the death of her husband. When Misty is eventually revived in ''[[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryApocalypse Apocalypse]]'', Cordelia is overjoyed at seeing her again and says that despite knowing her for such a short time, she's missed her forever. The last we see of either is after Mallory brings Misty back, with the two embracing each other. Paulson and Creator/LilyRabe also have a natural chemistry which makes the two come off a lot closer than they should be in the story.

* FanPreferredCouple: The fandom has taken a huge liking to Misty Day and Cordelia Foxx: ([[PortmanteauCoupleName Foxxay]]).

It easily outranks all other pairings from the whole series in terms of numbers on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn, and is still quite popular on Tumblr and [=YouTube=] to this day. It also resulted in many fans [[ActorShipping shipping the two actresses]] as well.

* HarsherInHindsight: The feature of Stevie Nicks' music and Misty's insistence that she's a witch. The creators actually had to spend a lot of time getting her permission to user her music and, later on, get her to agree to cameo. She was hesitant because she'd gotten a lot of harassing fanmail and hate-mail from people who were convinced that her lyrics were proof of her being an actual witch.

She has also been shipped with characters like [[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryMurderHouse Tate Langdon, Billie Dean Howard]], [[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryAsylum Lana Winters, Sister Mary Eunice]], [[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryApocalypse Michael Langdon, and Mallory]].

* DracoInLeatherPants: Madison Montgomery is an AlphaBitch who only cares about power and herself, but try telling that to her legion of fangirls. She tries to kill Zoe multiple times, takes advantage of Kyle recently coming back from the dead to have sex with him, and tries to leave Misty to die buried in a grave. However, due to being played by Creator/EmmaRoberts, a lot of fangirls are quick to paint her as a tragic hero while pairing her with Zoe and even even reinterpreting Kyle as an abusive JerkJock.

There is nothing in canon that suggests the supremacy can manifest in multiple girls per generation, although Apocalypse muddies this up slightly.

A portion of the fanbase believes Madison was the true Supreme, and Cordelia assumed the supremacy right as Madison died. A third base believes that Cordelia did deserve to be the Supreme, after all she has been through in the season and in life. There are groups within the fandom for each member who believes that specific member should have been the Supreme.
