does ianthony get a happy ending in this au?

ooh boy....

well, that depends on your definition of happy ending. do they end up happier than they started? yes they do. is it a more traditional version of a happy ending? no.

however hard they try, they can never really recapture the spark from their youth. ian keeps chasing and anthony struggles to wait for him, but by GOD are they going to try.

whether they make it all the way to the end, i'll leave that vague and unanswered for now, except that their ending is definitely one of the happier ones.

(thank you for the ask, i LOVE answering questions about this au, it's like my child xx)

didn't think i was going to write another httyd fic but smth about ruffnut makes me want to put her in the most fucked up situations....

【"Somewhere down the corridor, the sound of chains rattling echoed through the gloom. Then came the scream—sharp, raw, and suffocatingly human—only to be abruptly silenced, leaving a suffocating void in its wake. The sound lingered in the air like a ghost, raising the hairs on Ruffnut’s arms. She shifted uncomfortably, the rough ropes biting into her wrists, their fibers stained with blood—her blood."】

something about the places in nature we used to go as kids becoming inaccessible now, and us not noticing because we don't have endless time to explore these places anymore. something about older generations maybe not knowing the creek they swam in is now drying up, the woods they once ran in are now full of brambles, the hills they rolled down are full of rabbit holes. something about the natural world reclaiming these places as the people who frequented them grow older.

Angela shifted uncomfortably, her eyes darting to Amanda, who looked ready to launch into another tirade. Arasha laughed, a harsh, rasping sound that hung in the air like the acrid smoke curling from Angela’s lips. Her head lolled to the side, her hair falling across her face in greasy strands."】

What Dragon I Think Each Smosh Member Would Have In HTTYD

Ian - Scauldron because they are both overlooked but super cool and talented :(

Anthony - Typhoomerang because it burns quickly and leaves an artsy mark (also opposite of ians 👀)

More Below The Cut :)

Shayne - Night Fury because he's the main character duh (he also wants to go really fast)

Courtney - Stormcutter because they're elegant and dangerous like the dragon

Spencer - FireWorm because he's also a hot queen

Angela & Chanse - Zippleback for obvious reasons (chaos)

Amanda - Gronkle because i lowkey think she would be too scared to ride fast....

Damien - Whispering Death cus it matches his vibe and i like the contrast of really loud dragon and really quiet rider

Trevor - Razorwhip because he would want to go fast

Tommy - Skrill because he's a dramatic king and would like the exclusivity

Arasha - Snow Wraith becuase she's an underrated and dangerous queen...

hi! i was wondering if you’d tell us more about ianthony in your band au? thank you!

ofc!!!

so ianthony pretty much met the same way they did irl; in high school, where they started a dsbm band "black comma code" that got really popular in their hometowns black metal scene. they moved to a bigger city where anthony left the band to pursue helldawn, leaving ian to form freezing pyre.

this caused a rift in their relationship, and ian claimed to hate anthony (even though he went to every single one of anthony's gigs) they have a "frenemies with benefits" kind of relationship, as anthony's mentality/mental health is getting worse, while ian almost refuses to move on from what once was.

this reflects in their music and performance. ian still makes dsbm music, while anthony has moved onto black metal. ian hasn't moved on from the period of black metal where you say fucked up shit but dont actually do it, whereas anthony keeps trying to do crazier and crazier shit.

they love to hate each other, anthony doesn't look back to see if ians caught up, and ian keeps trying to match pace. anthony gets worse, ian stays the same, they fuck, forget, and pretend they don't want to have something that lasts.

SHAYNE & COURTNEY Headcanons.

Shayne

Frequently splits his knuckles on the rims of his drums and lets the blood drip onto the snare.

Keeps broken drumsticks in his bag and tapes them back together for “sentimental” performances.

Frequently leaves the stage drenched in his own sweat and blood, claiming the drums demand sacrifice.

Drums on any surface he can find—tables, car doors, even his own legs—until people beg him to stop.

Has a habit of tapping out drumbeats on his thighs when he’s anxious, leaving bruises without noticing.

Keeps a stash of protein bars in his drum bag.

Courtney

Has duct tape permanently wrapped around her bass neck to keep it from falling apart.

Sleeps with her bass plugged in, the amp buzzing faintly all night

Doesn’t own a single pair of socks without holes in them and doesn’t care

Always wears fingerless gloves, even in summer

Writes little notes to herself on scraps of paper but forgets where she puts them.

Sleeps in her clothes, sprawled out on the couch, because her bed feels too isolating.

Keeps a collection of mismatched bass picks in her pocket, even though she has a favorite one she never uses.

【summary; "As Anthony swaggered out, Trevor glanced back at the mirror. The person staring back looked like a ghost, all hollowed-out eyes and dead skin. He ran a hand through his sweat-damp hair, forcing himself to stand. The moment his boots hit the floor, his head swam, but he swallowed the dizziness, just like everything else."】

SPENCER & TREVOR Headcanons.

Spencer - tw. ment. of drugs

Tends to play with his bass slung low, even though it wrecks his back—says the pain makes the music better.

Uses picks made of metal because plastic ones “feel too soft” for his playing style.

Once tied a belt around his arm and pretended to shoot up onstage.

Drinks energy drinks like water, even though they make his hands shake onstage.

Buys new bass picks in bulk but loses them constantly

Buys black nail polish in bulk because he chips it off every day and reapplies it every night.

Says his favourite metal band is Sigh, but it’s actually Babymetal.

Trevor - tw. ment. of s/h

Obsessed with vampires and the afterlife

His signature stage move is slicing his palm with a razor before the final song and letting the blood drip on the mic.

Spends hours after shows pacing alone, his adrenaline crashing into deep spirals of self-loathing.

Smokes clove cigarettes onstage because the scent makes him feel like he’s “at his own funeral.”

Once got so drunk he vomited blood mid-song and finished the set anyway.

Has a habit of breaking mirrors

Wakes up in cold sweats at least once a week, haunted by nightmares he never talks about.

IAN & ANTHONY Headcanons.

Anthony

His stage makeup often involves fake blood, but one time, he used his own when he ran out. No one noticed.

Keeps a jar of grave dirt in his guitar case for “good luck.”

Writes his setlists in black eyeliner directly on his arms because paper “is for posers.”

Once ripped out his piercings onstage, leaving trails of blood that the crowd mistook for fake effects.

Sleeps with his phone on vibrate because he’s terrified of waking up to bad news.

Ian

Refuses to replace broken strings mid-set, insisting the “raw sound” of missing notes adds to the vibe.

Stays up all night listening to live bootlegs of their shows, picking apart every mistake no one else noticed.

Keeps a Polaroid of the band’s first gig taped to the back of his mirror

Carries around a tiny notebook full of riffs he thinks of at random moments but never finishes.

Wakes up at 2 a.m. most nights and writes lyrics on whatever surface he can find—receipts, walls, his own arm.
