England/Norway

‘Let’s rock it’

[ifindus]

Don’t ship, but what would England and Norway’s relationship be like in modern day compared to the past?

The past is a very long time, but I chose to focus on the earliest time they would have interacted - the viking age - and the 1800s, as there's quite a bit of interaction there.

In modern times, England and Norway are good friends and are important business partners, especially now that the UK is no longer part of the EU they are even more interested in keeping good relations. They are both sort of outliers in Europe and England is perhaps more familiar with the strange ways of Norway than most.

This was not always the case though. Their relationship definitely improved a lot during the last century. In the 1800s it became popular for Brits to travel in Norway as tourists, and I've read some travel books from the period. It seemed like the englishmen found the norwegians to be simple and much less developed than themselves. Some even described having to hide their rotten fish because the norwegians would come dig it up eat (fermented fish is a delicacy in Norway). At times England would be a bit patronising during this period - and I think is not only true for Norway.

Going even further back, England was an easy target for bullying, being disorganised and unstable during the Viking Age. Norway had more intimate dealings with Scotland in this period, but would occationally either invade England with Denmark, or help the English king against invaders. Norwegians were not uncommonly mercenarices during the Viking Age. So, I think their relationship early on would have been shifting.

England and Norway's relationship has never been better than it is today.

EngNor and ItaPan for the ship bingo?

EngNor

I wish there was something between it's okay and I love them because I feel like I fall in the middle. I like it, not necessarily love it, but there is some cute material/reasoning for them. I 100% love it in a platonic sense.

Itapan:

This season has really made me fall down the rabbit hole of Itapan...

Send me a ship and I'll fill out a bingo card

What if aph England was a Scouser?

This came from a conversation on a discord server about what accent people headcanon England to have as we have so many, and as a northerner I like to think he would rock a northern accent. Based off several headcanons that England and Norway are good friends, and that nations move around a lot to avoid being clocked by their citezens for the fact that they don't age, I bring you this random drabble:

-----

It was getting dark by the time Norway finally arrived in the port of Liverpool and stepped off the ship. It had been 5 years at least since he'd seen Arthur, and perhaps 15 or more since he'd last visited England, and since finding out that Arthur was now living in Liverpool he took the opportunity to visit him when he was there on a trip.

Stepping down from the gangway, Norway tightned his scarf a little tighter around himself, the biting cold winter air slipping through any opening in his coat that it could find. Pulling back his glove to check his wristwatch, he noticed they'd got in a little late even though they hadn't really been delayed when they set off from Bergen.

Turning back to the ship for a moment, Norway watched with a small smile as his crew who'd kindly let him come along with them began to unload the large Norwegian Spruce. Since 1942 he'd given a Christmas tree as a gift to the people of England as a token of gratitude for the support they had given him during the second world war, something he would never forget. It started off as a single, 60 or so year old Spruce that was cut down specially and gifted to be put up in Trafalgar Square every year, but in recent years Norway had started gifting a couple more to other cities around the UK, and this year he had one for Durham, Oxford and Liverpool cathedral.

When he was satisfied that his crew didn't need any help, Norway waved a quick goodbye to them before setting off across the docks. He walked slowly at first, admiring the Christmas lights that decorated lamp posts and trees until he spotted England sat on a bench at the end of the docks. Quickening his pace so to not keep him waiting much longer, Norway's smile broadened just a little more. He and England were old friends despite their past differences and conflicts, and Norway had been looking forward to this visit since he found out that England living here.

"Long time no see." He said as he stopped in front of England, who looked up away from his smartphone and put it in his pocket.

"Likewise," he said with a smile, standing up and grasping Norway's hand in a firm, friendly handshake before pulling him in for a hug.

"So, Liverpool eh? I thought you'd be more of a country house in the cotswolds kinda old man by now, so I'm a bit surprised to find you here." Norway teased as they started strolling away from the docks and toward the city centre.

It was the end of November, so despite it being nearly dark it was still only 4pm in the afternoon and the streets were still full of people. For the past few years Norway had been living in the depths of the countryside up in Narvik with more sheep around him than people, so it felt strange yet nice to be surounded by so many people again.

England laughed a little, "Yeah, I fancied living somewhere a little livelier. I was getting a bit fed up in a big drauhty house down south, I found that I always had a proper cob on so I knew I needed to move to somewhere with a bit of atmosphere. I know we shouldn't have favourite citzens, but I've always had a soft spot for the people of Liverpool." he said, and Norway was shocked at how much his accent had changed since the last time he'd seen him.

It happened to most nations who lived among citezens to end up speaking with their accent or dialect, so he wasn't necessarily shocked, just a little taken aback.

Whether it was the fact that his own English skills were a little rusty from living in a rural place where not many of his citezens around him spoke anything but Norwegian or the fact that England's accent had thickened he wasn't sure, but Norway was struggling to keep up with him.

"What abar you? Where you living?"

"Er, Narvik. Been there about 7 years. It's nice." Norway said, with not much else to add. Narvik was Narvik. He went fishing occasionally, but other than that he was either buried in paperwork or eating or sleeping these days.

"Fancy a bevvy while we have a natter? There's a bar close by that's proper sound, you'll love it, and no I won't get bladdered before you say anything." England said as they turned the corner, and Norway quite honestly didn't understand a word that he just said.

"A bevvy?" he repeated, and Arthur turned to look at him and raised a large eyebrow,

"Yeah, a drink. Do you not fancy it?"

Norway blinked a couple of times, trying to get his head around England's changed accent. Sure, he knew that dialects and accents were a common thing, and back in his country he had many unique ones himself, but the way that England was rolling his 'r's and talking from the back of his throat on some words was tough enough to understand without the added slang.

"Sorry, yes I'm happy to have a drink with you." Norway said, a smirk crossing his lips at the fact that England was so oblivious to his change in accent.

They talked about this and that while they walked to the bar, England asked after Denmark and Iceland and they discussed the upcoming football championship until they arrived to a wobbly looking old stone pub nestled among the more modern buildings of the city. One of the things that Norway loved about visiting England was hidden gems such as this, and in summer he loved touring old castles and historical sights with Arthur.

Norway stepped inside as England held the door open for him, relieved to be inside and out of the wind. The smell of beer hit him immediately and he could feel the carpet sticking to the bottom of his shoes.

He spotted an empty table and took a seat, England following him and sitting down opposite, taking his gloves off and stuffing them into the pocket of his leather jacket.

"God it's baltic out there, but I'm proper made up that you've come to visit though. Actually this probably isn't that bad for you is it, now you're living in Narvik." England laughed, rubbing his cold hands together before he stood up again, "Let me get you a bev, back in a tick." he said before pushing his way to the bar.

Norway watched England as he leant on the bar, laughing with the bartender and chatting away and sighed, still not fully understanding what the hell he'd just said. He was pleased though that England was happy and settled in Liverpool. He'd had it rough the past couple of years with the whole Brexit thing which had obviously made him move as a distraction if anything else and Norway was glad to be catching up with an old friend, but had he realised that he would struggle to understand England as much as he was then he might not have suggested staying for a whole week...

lol. For those people not from the UK and aren't familiar with a Scouse accent I tried to find a video. The best one I could find is still a bit crappy, but the girl at 0:12 is a prime example of how fast Scousers speak that not even I or the subtitles could keep up with her at first.

Click for the video

this fic is the closest I've ever got to writing a crack fic and this is purely self indulgent im sorry lol

What ships do you have with Norway??

Oh and I love your blog so much! 💕❤️💞

Thank you!! 🥰💖

tbh I'm much of a multishipper unfortunately - ScotNor will always be my number one. But I do have other dynamics that I like for Norway and can interpret as romantical depending on the circumstances.

I probably said this in the SuNor-ask I got, but I don't mind that ship and they have a dynamic that's not often explored a lot. Similarly I don't mind EngNor either - which has a lot of good historical basis that I'm a sucker for.

SpaNor I also think is a very interesting ship that I haven't seen much of, but there's a lot of potential there, both culturally and historically, that I think it would be fun to explore.

And I don't know if Norway/New Zealand have a ship name yet, but I am very much enjoying the content of @more-than-hiking-buddies-askblog a lot (hope they don't mind the tag). Norway and New Zealand have much in common I think, and here it's often said that NZ is the country on earth that is the most similar to Norway regarding nature - so that's pretty sweet!
