Fencer

Fencer is the friendship pairing of Freddie Benson and Spencer Shay (F/reddie and Sp/encer). Freddie and Spencer have grown quite close over the years.

The name is also a reference to how Spencer taught Freddie how to fence in iFence. Prior to that episode, it was called Speddie (Sp/encer and Fr/eddie) (sometimes it is still referred to that).

They have lived in Bushwell Plaza for years, across from each other's apartments. Both Spencer and Freddie have similar interests. For example: Galaxy Wars and World of Warlords. They get along very well; Freddie hangs out with Spencer and enjoys his company.

It is highly unlikely that Fencer will happen romantically due to the same sex nature, as iCarly is a children/teen show and also the age difference between them, (30-17=13 years difference). This pairing is mostly shipped as friendship.
