Ferginor

Ferginor is the het ship between Elinor and Fergus from the Brave fandom.

Canon
Elinor and Fergus met when he and the Lords competed against each other for Elinor's hand in marriage, and Fergus was the one who won through swordsmanship. As Fergus marries the noblewoman, Elinor becomes his Queen. At first Elinor wasn't happy about marrying a man she doesn't know, but in the end she and Fergus grew to love each other very deeply. Even though there are times where she doesn't approve of Fergus placing his weapons on the table, due to her being a lady while Fergus is a warrior who doesn't believe in magic. Along with the fact that Elinor has studied her kingdom's myths and legends, as well as history and culture, which comes in handy when Fergus gets carried away and Elinor has to act as the main ruler when he struggles with his King duties. Like public speaking.

When their first born child, a daughter they named Merida, was young and on the day of her birthday, Elinor and Fergus have an outing with their men, to protect them from wild beasts. After Elinor plays hide and sneak, Elinor scolds Fergus for placing his bow on the table while Merida takes it off the table so she could have a go at shooting an arrow. To which has Fergus giving Merida a bow that is just her size for birthday gift. Elinor wasn't fund of the idea about a lady being given a weapon as a gift and kept her thoughts to herself until they sent Merida to go and fetch the arrow she got, and Elinor told Fergus what she thought about his idea of gifts to a lady he places his hand on her bump to tease his wife. As well as to make the subject drop, before Elinor calls out to Merida about them getting ready to head back. After the Wisps led Merida back to her parents she tells them what she saw in the forest, Elinor shares her knowledge of the Wisps leading people to their fate while Fergus believes the legend to be nonsense and jokes about them coming across other mythical creatures before he reminds them that it is time for them to head back home. With Fergus' back turned while Elinor picks Merida up in her arms and explains that Fergus is someone who doesn't believe in magic, Merida's scream of seeing the demon Bear, Mor'du, caught Fergus' attention and battles the bear with his mean, while his wife and child escape. Even though Fergus was able to fend off the bear and rejoin his family back at the castle, he lost his right leg and vows to ravage his leg by killing the demon bear.

As the years past since that day, Elinor blessed Fergus with son that came in the form of triplets and as their children grew older, Fergus trains himself for when he faces Mor'du again while Elinor prepares Merida for her future role. At times Fergus offers to help Elinor with her teaching, to which she expects him to teach Merida through books when he really uses his volunteered assistance to give Merida the type of lessons and teaching her prefers, all while keeping it a secret from Elinor as he knew that she wouldn't approve. When Merida reached the age of marriage, Elinor tells Fergus that it is time for their daughter to continue the tradition, that brought them together. Even though he and Elinor were able to find happiness with their marriage for each other, Fergus was worried that it wouldn't be the same for Merida. Which is why he had trouble telling her the plans that Elinor had set for her future.

After Elinor failed to talk with Merida about it, Fergus catches her muttering to herself while tending to the tapestry portrait of their family. He reminds Elinor, who denies muttering, that she does that when something is troubling her. So he offers to help Elinor speak to Merida by pretesting with him who pretends to be their daughter. He even made himself sound like Merida and say things that she would say in an attempt to make his wife smile. Fergus was a little shocked to learn that Elinor had her own reservation about pretravel before their marriage, as Elinor continues to speak with Fergus as Merida.

Children
Merida DunBroch

Merida is Fergus and Elinor's first bond child (and only daughter) who strongly takes after her father, in hair color and fighting spirit. When Merida was little she got long with both of her parents, but as the years past and Elinor begins to prepare Merida for her future role as the next queen, the bond she and Elinor shared faded away while the bond between Merida and Fergus remain strong. Since he allows Merida to behave like a tomboy who enjoys shooting arrows and living the none princess side of her life. After Merida's selfishness caused Elinor to turn into a bear, the two became close with one another again as they work to undo the magic. When Fergus saw his wife in her bear form, while her human mind was token over by her bear mind, he believed her to be a real bear and the torn up green dress had gotten him to think that the bear had killed his wife. Merida tried to explain, but Fergus doesn't believe in magic, and went after the bear. He later began to believe Merida when he was tackled by his triplet sons in their bear cub forms. The love Merida has for Elinor later allows her to list the spell, on both her and the triplets, and the royal members of Clan DunBroch were reunited.

Hamish, Hubert and Harris

Hamish, Hubert and Harris are Fergus and Elinor's triplet sons who are their second, third and fourth born. Like Merida, they inherited their father's red hair. Because of their pranks and cake thieving, the triplets are viewed as "Wee Devils", who have a habit of winding up their father. After their mother was turned into a bear, and helped her and Merida get out of the castle unnoticed, they come across the half eaten cake that contains the fate changing spell and finished it off, in which turns them into a trio of bear cubs. As Merida's love for their mother listed the spell upon her, it also undid the spell on them.

Fanon
Ferginor is one of the parent ships in the Disney/Pixar fandom, along side Agduna, Frederianna, Imector, Flexible and a few others. Because their daughter is one of the main characters in the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons crossover fandom, the two are sometimes included in it beside the parents of Rapunzel and Hiccup. While the How to Be Brave crossover has some fans compare Fergus and Elinor with Stoick and Valka.

On AO3, the ship has 28, while fanfiction.net has 53 with only 7 listed under pairing in its Brave category. Ferginor may not be the most popular canon het ship within the Brave fandom, it still has its supporters.
