Fenro is the slash ship between Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera and Gyro Gearloose from the DuckTales fandom.
Canon[]
DuckTales (1987)[]
Fenton and Gyro had very little personal interaction in the original series. After a latest crisis in Scrooge McDuck's money bin, Gyro invented the Gizmoduck armor in order to help protect it in the future. Fearing that it would be stolen and used for evil purposes, he decided to make the codeword to activate it a word that he thought nobody would ever use, choosing "blatherskite" after looking it up in an old dictionary he happened to own. Fenton just happened to come by and was the only person beside his own mother to know that word, using it in place of the typical "phooey". So naturally, the Gizmoduck armor attached itself to Fenton as he happened to say it nearby, with Fenton being initially confused, but realizing its true potential and he then uses it to fight crime. Convinced that the armor is in good hands with Fenton, Gyro agrees to let him keep it.
DuckTales (2017)[]
Gyro is bankrolled by Scrooge McDuck, allowed to invent whatever it is he so chooses. Fenton is his bright-eyed intern, whom he only ever calls "Intern". Gyro seems to think very little of Fenton, and is often incredibly rude to him. Fenton lets this roll right off his back, and continues to remain optimistic about his future as a scientist.
When Fenton accidentally leaks Gyro's plans for Bulb Tech, Gyro is furious and fires Fenton. However, when Fenton later sees Gyro in trouble he comes to his rescue by utilizing the Gizmoduck suit. Gyro eventually changes his decision, and rehires Fenton as an intern. Fenton continues to work under Gyro, and is eventually given full ownership of the Gizmoduck suit.
In "Astro B.O.Y.D.!", Gyro confronts his past as an intern in Tokyolk. He eventually realizes that he's spent the past years being too hard on Fenton, and offers him a promotion to "Dr. Crackshell-Cabrara". Fenton is so elated that he hugs Gyro. Gyro is annoyed, telling him that "the hugging is a just-for-today thing".
Fanon[]
Fenro is a popular ship in the DuckTales fandom. Many see them growing from their initial hostility to each other to a form of respect. This character growth happens most often on Gyro's side. This ship was virtually unheard of until the release of the 2017 remake which paired the two characters up as coworkers. This helped to grow the relationship between them, and added to the Grumpy x Ray of Sunshine dynamic that they have going on.
On AO3, Fenro is the most written ship for both Gyro and Fenton. It is also the third most written ship in the DuckTales (2017) tag. There are currently over 470 works.
