Made something.

I personally make Estonia 182-183cm (5'9-6'0ft) so....tall man.

Don't come at me. It's the Estonian male average.

Forgive Me?

apheeweek day one: Time + NorEst

Norway holds a bit of a grudge over 967.

(also on ao3)

Based on the historical tidbits that in 967, Estonian vikings (Oeselians) kidnapped and sold Norwegian prince Olav Tryggvason into slavery, and that when Estonia re-declared independence in 1991, Norway was the only Nordic to never re-recognize the country's independence

"Norway?" Said nation's eyebrow twitches. "Norway, may I speak with you?" Again an eyebrow twitch, now accompanied by a quiet wish for the one calling his name to shut up. "Norway, please if I may-"

"If you may what?" Norway turns the corner of his book page down to mark his place before he looks over his shoulder. He leans back in the chair, its old wood creaking in protest at his weight. "What's it you desire to say t'me," his voice turns curt, sharp as he lapses into his native language to say, "you kidnapping bastard?"

Estonia winces, grabbing his left elbow and averting his eyes. He looks regretful. As he should, thinks Norway as he turns back to his book. Why shouldn't Estonia still hold guilt for his actions? He certainly hadn't shown any regret or remorse when he did what he did. It's about time. "Norway-"

"It's the Kingdom of Norway t'you," he interrupts.

"Right... Kingdom of Norway, can you please listen to me?"

Norway turns back and rests his elbow on the back of the chair, chin propped in his hand. "Listen? To you?" Estonia nods meekly. Norway scoffs. "About what, pray tell?"

Estonia releases his elbow only to lace his fingers together. His hands are shaking, Norway notes, but he can't bring himself to care. The more this guy squirms and sweats in place the better. He deserves the uneasiness, the gut fear. The same sort of feelings Tryggvason had.

Hesitantly Estonia takes a seat next to Norway and meets his gaze. "About- it's about 967, y'know the time when-"

"When your vikings," Norway again interrupts, amused at how Estonia flinches, "pillaged my home an' stole my prince, and then later sold said prince int'a slavery? That 967?"

"One in the same," says Estonia quietly. Norway continues to be amused at how afraid he seems.

"What's to talk about, Estonia?" Norway looks back down to his book and opens it. He doesn't read, instead he stares at the words to feign disinterest. "You kidnapped 'im, you sold 'im, and he regained his freedom 'bout five years after. There's nothing to discuss."

"But there is." Norway raises a brow at the determined tone in Estonia's voice but otherwise remains unperturbed. "If I'm to be around you, and the other Nordics I figure I should make peace over the past. And- well, while he scares me Sweden and I didn't have much to discuss. Iceland and I are on decent terms," he makes a small humming sound at the mention of his brother, "and Finland and I are good pals so there's nothing to settle."

"And Denmark? He did own you, an' he sold you to the Teutonic Knights."

Estonia sighs, and Norway delights in it. "... I'm saving him for last. I figured I could set to rest the prince thing. Also, like... I was wondering something."

Norway resists the urge to roll his eyes. "No, I don't consider you a Nordic."

"Not what I was gonna ask," there's a distinct disappointment in his voice, "but thanks for that. I was wondering about 1991."

"What about it?"

"You never re-recognized me."

Norway hums and looks up. "Pardon?"

Estonia rests an elbow on the table. "From Russia, when he was all Soviet. You- Iceland was the first one to re-recognize me when I got my independence back. Denmark, Finland and Sweden all recognized me too. You're the only Nordic that never did."

Biting his lip to suppress a grin, Norway glances to the ceiling. "That's why I don't see th' need to discuss Tryggvason or 967." 

“Come again?" 

Norway stands and grabs his book. He sets his free hand on Estonia's shoulder, snickering to himself at how Estonia jumps under his touch. He's further amused at how stiff his shoulders get when he leans in, lips hovering a fraction of an inch away from his ear. "You kidnapped my prince," he whispers, "so I don't recognize you."

"... will you ever forgive me?"

Norway, his face out of Estonia's sight, allows himself to grin openly. "One condition."

"Name it!"

“Show me the Old Town sometime." Norway pulls up and begins to walk away. He waves a hand vaguely, calling, "I hear y'got some nice architecture. Show me around an' I'll consider forgiving you." He turns and looks over his shoulder. It's almost impossible to keep from smiling at the surprise and faint flush in Estonia's cheeks. "Good talk, Estonia. Look forward to the next."

Fun fact:

EstLiet, DenEst, SweEst, EstNor, PruEst, EstPol, RusEst (Hhh gotta still mentioned it though it's obvious), EstIce (to those who don't age up Estonia, also EstLat), GerEst

Are ALL from once enemies to lovers ships. (With the friends in-between depending on how ya see it)

Why? Easy, Estonia fucking sucked at making friends when he was younger but was GREAT at making enemies!

Only EstFin seems to escape when it comes to ships that have lots of history with Estonia.

Also, though still questioning and trying to figure one event out, but EstUkr may not escape this trend either.

Don't you just love it when you find positive historical fuel for your ship that just makes you go "YES ❤️" ?

Norway & not having re-recognized Estonia's independence

|| It's something anyone who has looked into Estonia and Nordic relations may have noticed, there is nothing about Norway having ever re-recognized Estonia's independence in the 90's

And I've actually seen some people touch upon this, and interpret it as evidence that Norway has dislike for Estonia. Even seen that reason to be brought up to be because Norway is still pissed about what happened to King Olaf Tryggvason. When Tryggvason was a small boy and escaping towards Novgorod with his mother at approaching end of the 10th century, they got interfered and kidnapped by Estonian Vikings who took the prince into slavery, only later did he get back his freedom bought back when his uncle stumbled upon him in the slave market.

Of course Norway has a right to be pissed about that, but that was over a thousand years ago. And if Norway were to really hate someone for life from that already then how many people would Norway dislike?

Besides, I feel like people miss something that makes them misunderstand Norway not re-recognizing Estonia.

First off, Norway never recognized Estonia as annexed by the Soviet Union.

This is something countless western countries did, they continued viewing Estonia as their own country and viewing the Soviet Union takeover as an illegal occupation. They would continue the functions of honorary consultants and so on, Norway too.

When Estonia regained independence Norway restored Diplomatic relations on August 27th 1991 (before even Finland) which i'd view as much more important for countries especially moving forward.

In April 1992, Norway even sent a truck load of things to Estonia to donate to people and help with the recovery of what the Soviet Union did. Just because he can. This means a lot considering what a struggle it was at first for everyone, so having someone help is very important.

Here is the video by the way of Norway doing just that

Although I have nothing to prove this, I believe that the reason Norway didn't re-recognize Estonia's independence is simply because it was not necessary.

They never saw Estonia as annexed, they simply had diplomatic relations get severed because Russia invaded. Norway's recognization of Estonia on February 5th 1921 still applies. (Its even right at the top written in bold when you look up Norway - Estonia relations.)

Heck it's nice that Norway did that, because it's acknowledging that Estonia is not a new country, Estonia is continuing what he was doing before WWII, he's still Estonia. What happened on the past is in the past. ||
