Agnetha Fältskog/Anni-Frid Lyngstad, or more popularly Fridnetha, is the femslash pairing involving the two lead singers of the Swedish pop group ABBA.
The two singers are known for their playful and affectionate interactions (mostly initiated by Frida) when performing, which is probably the main inspiration for the fans who ship them romantically. Although many a tabloid has tried to paint their relationship as a bitter and hateful rivalry between divas, the two have always maintained that they are close friends, with Frida referring to Agnetha as her little sister in one interview.
Common Tropes
Agnetha was married to Björn Ulvaeus and Frida was engaged and then married to Benny Andersson for most of ABBA's lifetime, so infidelity is a frequent theme in fanfics that take place in that time frame. Pining will result if they choose not to pursue a relationship with each other out of guilt for cheating on their bandmates/significant others.
Secret relationships are another common scenario, in which the two need to juggle their feelings for each other with the fact that they are world-famous singers and targets for the tabloids' slander.
Agnetha suffered from a number of phobias (her fear of flying being the most famous) and social anxiety which caused her to dislike the spotlight, so hurt/comfort scenarios in which Frida acts as her emotional support and safe place are common.
