*throws lore at ye* *throws art at ye* Pspspsps.
For those interested (and uninterested!), chapter 2 of Blue & Silver has been posted: After offering a winter spirit (not a homeless man), a car ride, Hiccup and Jack hit it off. Considering that the strange lake Hiccup's been dreaming about nonstop is none other than Jack's, they figure have even more in common than they thought. (Sharing a mutual unlove for twilight is just a bonus, really). Now Hiccup is back home and has questions left to answer and perhaps a friend to meet again. Or another in the process. Fortunately, the lake is not that far away.
@imdeadtiredtm and I are co-writing this story, and it's very fun. Well, it also makes my brain hurt at times, but more than that, its fun.
If you're here for what you've actually come for, do enjoy it, but in the case you've never tried reading for this particular side of the internet, hurrowed in a corner, then I definitely recommend it. Think of it like trying Free Samples at the supermarket. We all know its a strategic marketing move to goad off our wallets, but hey! Free samples! At most, you'll lose a laugh or two as you consider what has led you to the point of reading a crack crossover fic of the years 2010, and maybe, you'll stay for the actual content, like that wasn't our plan all along. Case in point: How to train your dragon and rise of the guardians have so much lore and vitality, especially their books; The main characters happen to have an interesting dynamic together, and its nice to uncover it. So yeah! Have fun!

Hello! Since your request are open. Would you like to write some filthy Joel (boyfriends dad) x reader smut?
A/N: the thought of having Joel Miller as your boyfriend’s dad actually has me barking at walls?? Like???? Any guy wouldn’t stand a chance if his dad was the Joel Miller, like jesus. Anyway, I hope you like it anon!
Summary: After your boyfriend pushes your patience for the last time, his dad, Joel is there to help you feel better and truly show you what it’s like to be with a man.
Characters: BFD!Joel Miller x F!Reader
Word Count: 4.6k
Warnings: 18+, minors dni! Actually just 4.6k words of smut, age gap, unprotected sex (do better!), oral (f receiving), cheating (technically)
You wanted to scream in pure annoyance, actually scrap that, screaming didn’t feel like it would be enough, you maybe wanted to smother your boyfriends drunken face with a pillow. You sighed deeply as you fumbled with the lock on his front door, he was draped over your shoulders and you gently jabbed him with your elbow to stand straighter so you could fight with the lock.
“‘M gonna show you the best night of your life!” He slurred, a stupid smirk on his face.
“Jack, with all due respect… shut the hell up. I meant what I said earlier, I’m pissed off. I’m dropping you home, getting you into bed and I’m leaving. We will talk when you’re sober.” You huffed, feeling triumphant when the lock suddenly clicked.
You held the door open for him and gently pushed him to edge him inside the house. You dropped your handbag by the front door and held Jack’s arm to direct him to the stairs.
You had been with your boyfriend, Jack Miller, for around two years; for the most part, he was a good guy, he was fairly kind and somewhere in you, you did love him but recently everything felt like it had shifted and tonight just felt like the final nail in the coffin.
You had gone to a bar in town to meet up with both of your friends to celebrate your birthday, Jack promised he would only have one drink so you could relax and unwind but he got so stupidly drunk that he was barely standing. After a few shots, he then proceeded to hit on the bartender, right in front of you and then give an extremely detailed story of your sex life to his friends. He had ignited such an anger in you tonight that you weren’t sure you could ever put it out.
“Jack?” You heard a familiar voice call from the kitchen as you were halfway up the stairs.
You sat Jack down on a step and turned on yourself to look down the stairs, there he was stood, maybe the reason why Jack just didn’t seem to satisfy you anymore. You knew it was wrong, hell, the fantasises you had made you feel so dirty that sometimes you would shower in the hopes of washing away all of your filthy thoughts. Of course, it never worked and often, as you stood there in the shower, watching the water circle the drain you would find your fingers already travelling south to bury deep within yourself to your thoughts of this man.
Joel Miller, Jack’s father. He was a handsome man, in his late-forties, he was a single father and the star in all of your recent fantasies. You couldn’t pinpoint when it started but from the first day you met him and shook his hands, the sparks shocked you through your body. There was something about his features, his eyes that made you feel like you had known him before. Jack’s mother had passed away when he was little and since then, it had been the two of them. Joel couldn’t have been sweeter to you, he was always inviting you round for dinner with them both, even when Jack didn’t think to do so and in general, he was the perfect example of a gentleman. You wondered where it had gone so wrong for Jack, he was the opposite.
“Oh, h-hi Mr. Miller, sorry we are back so late. Um, Jack had a little too much to drink tonight so I’m just gonna go get him into bed and be out of your hair.” You mumbled.
“Dad,” Jack hiccuped. “Look at her, gonna give her the best night of her life. Gonna have her screaming my name.” Jack laughed, swaying on the stair as he brought his hand up to slap your bare ass under you skirt.
You yelped and batted his hand away, your cheeks burning a deep crimson with pure rage and embarrassment.
“Jack,” you warned. “I’m not gonna tell you again.”
Joel stood at the bottom of the stairs, he had folded his arms and his fists seemed to balled up into a tight clench. He had a deep frown settled into his brow and he shook his head.
“Jack, that is not how us Miller men treat a lady, I’ve told you before. I’m so sorry darlin’ for the lack of my son’s manners, I promise I tried to raise him better.” Joel sighed. “Why don’t you go down to the kitchen and make yourself a drink, I’ll put Jack to bed and be down in a moment.”
“Oh, uh, I didn’t want to intrude, I was just gonna head home. Get out of your way, and all that.” You said softly, checking once more that Jack wouldn’t lean forward and slip down the stairs.
“Non-sense. It’s too damn late for that, you can stay. I’ll make up the sofa for you, if you don’t wanna stay in his room. Which, I would totally understand.” Joel laughed softly.
“Okay, well, um, that’ll be lovely then. Thank you, Mr. Miller.”
“Darlin’ what have I told you? It’s Joel.” He smiled and squeezed your arm gently as you walked past him to head to the kitchen.
You heard Jack mumbling something to his father as he was led upstairs but you couldn’t quite make it out, instead, you walked into the kitchen in a daze. Your fingers tracing where Joel’s hand had just been. It felt like a million tiny pinpricks erupted over your skin where he just touched you. It made you feel hot and pathetically, you felt yourself get slick.
You grabbed a glass from the cupboard, filled it with water and sat yourself down at the kitchen island. You sipped your drink and looked around the familiar space, suddenly, you felt nervous. Maybe you should just run out the door and go home, you never really spent anytime with Joel as you tried to avoid it. It was out of fear that you would say or do something you would soon regret and partly out of knowing you seemed to turn into a babbling moron whenever the older man was near.
As you sat there, your mind was suddenly filled with thoughts of the older Miller man and you couldn’t help but smile as you remembered the moment vividly. You were staying over, about six months into your relationship, it was late and you got up to use the bathroom; Joel was in his room, his door was ajar and there he was, spread out on his bed with his hard cock in his hand and his body illuminated by the blue light of his laptop screen. You tried to pull yourself away from the spot on the landing as you watched him in awe but you couldn’t, you weren’t sure how long you had been stood then until Joel’s groan pulled you out of your trance, as you went to walk away, he looked up and you were sure your eyes locked for a split second before you dashed back to your boyfriend’s room. You climbed back into bed, and shamefully, awoke your boyfriend to have sex. That had been the first time you properly orgasmed with Jack, to thoughts of his dad. You were embarrassed to admit it but that night, you moaned just a little louder in the hope Joel would hear it and know they were for him. It was never spoken about between the two of you, for which, you were thankful for.
As your mind wandered, you absently rubbed your thighs together, relishing in the slight friction with each pass of your legs.
“You okay, darlin’?” Joel asked softly, looking at you with a raised brow. “You look a little… flushed.”
You near jumped out of your skin, his voice sent a small shudder down your body and you sipped your water to calm yourself down.
“Oh, sorry. I, um, guess I’m a little stressed. It’s all.” You mumbled.
“I thought you were going to get yourself a drink?” Joel asked, rummaging through his liquor in his cupboard.
“I did, I got a water.” You frowned.
“Don’t be so silly, it’s your birthday weekend. Let me get you a proper drink; vodka, lemon and lime, right?” He asked, grabbing his bottle of fancy vodka and getting a fresh glass out of the cupboard.
You held back a grin as Joel rattled off your drink of choice, you nodded at him and admired the way his arms flexed with each movement. He made you both the same drink and slid one across the kitchen island to you. You took a sip and sighed contentedly, almost as if the stress of the evening’s antics was being washed away with every sip of alcohol.
“Thanks, Mr. Miller, I really appreciate it.” You said softly, leaning back into your seat with a soft sigh.
“Darlin’ please, call me Joel. You’ve known me long enough, it’s Joel.”
“Just feels impolite but thanks, Joel. I’ll be out of your hair tomorrow morning, maybe for good.” You mumbled looking into your glass and stirring the clear liquid with your straw.
“For good?” Joel asked concernedly, he leant on the kitchen counter, his biceps flexing as he leant on them.
“Y-yeah. I think I need to end things with Jack, god he’s such an ass!” You huffed before realising who you were speaking to. “God, sorry, Joel, I know he’s your son. I’m a mess!” You whispered, tears pricking your eyes.
“Oh sweetheart, I’m sorry. Please don’t apologise.” He spoke softly, he was soon by your side and he stroked your back softly. “Jack is a moron, he should realise how lucky he is.”
You cried weakly, a few lone tears rolled down your cheeks as you focused on Joel’s large palm stroking your back. The next few seconds were a blur, you barely registered what you were doing but your lips had locked with Joel’s and you were kissing him roughly. Joel immediately held your face and deepened the kiss, he groaned as your tongue swiped over his bottom lip to enter his mouth.
You turned your body in your seat so you were facing Joel and you couldn’t help but moan softly as his large hands found their way into your hair. You broke the kiss and breathed deeply, you splayed your hands over Joel’s hard chest and gasped in deep breaths.
“Fuck, Joel. Fuck. I should go, I’ll speak with Jack in the morning. I’m sorry.” You rambled, pushing Joel gently so you could stand to leave. You wiped your face as you began to walk out of the kitchen, Joel grasped your wrist tightly and gently pulled you back to stop you from spiralling out.
“Darlin’, wait a second.” He whispered. “Don’t rush off… c’mhere.”
You stopped walking and looked up at Joel with your wet eyes, you were panicked and your chest was heaving with panic.
“I’ve wanted you, well, forever and ever since that night you caught me, well y’know. I heard your pretty little mouth that night, heard those moans and I knew they were for me.” He whispered, he was bringing his head closer to you and his lips ghosted over your parted lips.
You sucked in a sharp breath, your cheeks were glowing with embarrassment and you opened your mouth to argue with him but Joel silenced you with a bruising kiss. His fingers held the back of your head as he controlled the kiss, you whimpered softly as your allowed yourself to be kissed by the older man, just like in your fantasies.
Joel’s free hand groped at your breast, his fingers kneaded at the soft mound through your shirt and your mouth opened with a soft noise.
“Joel,” You whimpered. “Maybe, maybe we shouldn’t. I should probably go.”
“I want you.” Joel said definitively. “I’ve wanted you since the first day I saw you; you were wearing that real pretty little summer dress and it drove me mad, stroked myself so hard to thoughts of you for so long.” He whispered, his hand still drinking in each dip and curve of your clothes body. “Feel.”
Joel took your hand and pressed it to the front of his jeans, you could feel how hard his cock was in his pants; he was thicker than Jack and longer too. You were feeling ashamed to admit it to yourself but you were wetter than you had been in a long time.
“Driving me fuckin’ mad. Feel what you do to me.” He groaned as your hand squeezed his shaft.
“You’re so big.” You whined. “I want to feel you.”
Joel didn’t hesitate for another second, he took your shirt and roughly tugged it over your head before he followed suit with your skirt. There you were, stood in your boyfriend’s kitchen and nearly naked for his father. You couldn’t help but feel vulnerable as Joel gently twirled you around so he could drink in your whole body.
“You’ve been wasted for all this time, should be treated right. How about you get upstairs and I’ll show you how good a real man can fuck you.” Joel’s voice was barely above a whisper and it sent shivers right to your core.
You gently crossed your legs, trying to stave off the throbbing of your arousal and you nodded weakly, you couldn’t quite believe this was happening. You knew it was wrong but you couldn’t bring yourself to care anymore. Joel took your hand gently and lead you upstairs, you passed by your boyfriend’s room, the door was closed and you could hear his loud snores. Just hearing him sleep so peacefully whilst he knew you were upset enraged you but you pushed those sour thoughts aside as Joel pushed you into his room and he locked the door behind you both.
“Take those pretty panties and bra off for me, darlin’ and lay down on the bed, show me your pretty little cunt.” Joel growled, keeping his voice hushed.
You bit gently on your bottom lip and did as you were instructed, you undid your bra; your breasts fell from the material with a soft bounce and Joel watched you hungrily, he was palming himself through his jeans. You blushed under his hungry gaze and turned away from him to pull your panties off, you bent yourself over to give him a small show as the lacy material slipped over your ass. You bent down to pick the panties off the floor, letting Joel catch a long look at your wet cunt; he could see how wet you were, your lips were slick and begging to be filled.
You smirked as Joel watched you, speechless, you turned back around and sauntered over to him, slipping the damp panties into his front pocket.
“Something to remember me by.” You giggled before taking Joel’s shirt and pulling it over his head.
You threw the old material of Joel’s t-shirt to the floor and immediately your hands were on the vast expanse of his tanned skin, your fingers gently raked through the sparse hair on his chest and you couldn’t hold back the small whine that slipped from your lips. He was so manly, so rugged and such a stark contrast to any of the guys you had been with before.
“On the bed,” Joel instructed, flicking his head in the direction of his bed. “I wanna taste you.”
Your knees nearly buckled at his words and you weakly carried yourself to his bed; you laid down for him and eagerly spread your legs. Your arousal had coated your upper thighs and it had Joel nearly going feral at the sight. He quickly positioned himself on the bed, laid down on his front so his face was close to your sopping core. His fingers quickly went through your folds, collecting your apparent arousal on them.
“This wet, all for me, hm?” He asked, kissing his soft lips up your thighs, travelling higher but not quite landing where you wanted them the most.
You bit onto your lip to stop you from making a noise and you nodded eagerly at him; you leant up on your elbows so you could peer down at the male between your thighs.
“Look at how pretty you are, darlin’. All spread out and wet for me, you needed this, didn’t you?” He asked softly as he pushed two digits into your pussy.
“Yes!” You gasped out loudly, your hips bucked upwards as you looked at the male; his fingers alone were making you feel heady and weak already.
Joel started a quick rhythm, his fingers pulling out and disappearing just as fast into your greedy heat. He quickly dipped his head lower and timed it perfectly, just as his fingers pulled out, he flicked his tongue over your clit roughly and pushed his fingers back into you, curling them upwards.
You were seeing stars, your body felt as if it was floating on a cloud and you never, in your wildest dreams imagined that you would be feeling this way at the hands of your boyfriend’s dad.
“Fuck!” You cursed, your voice a little too loud. “If you don’t stop, I-I’m gonna cum already.” You whimpered.
Joel let out a breathy laugh against your clit, his hot breath fanning over your wetness and he just smirked before he suctioned his lips around the swollen bud and suckled gently at it. Joel sped his fingers up, he could feel you fluttering around his digits and it drove him mad, he couldn’t help but thrust at the mattress below him, just hoping to help his leaking cock feel a fraction of relief. You noticed his hips thrusting against the soft mattress and that, mixed with Joel’s skilled tongue and fingers; it had you cumming, hard. The fact he was so turned on from just eating you out made you feel crazy, Jack was never forthcoming with pleasuring you like that, and here was his dad, eagerly eating you out like he was dying from starvation.
You whimpered through your orgasm as Joel’s tongue flicked at your clit before lapping at it eagerly, he pulled his fingers out and sucked on them, groaning at the taste of you.
“God, you taste as good as you look. Come here, come taste.” Joel whispered, travelling back up the bed to be positioned next to you.
He gently pressed his fingers into your mouth which you eagerly opened and sucked the digits in. You moaned around them as your tongue cleaned them expertly.
“You see how good you taste?” Joel whispered, watching as you sucked his fingers and you nodded in response.
He pulled his fingers out from your mouth with an obscene popping noise and leant forward to kiss you deeply, his tongue was invading your mouth within seconds and you moaned; you could taste the tang of your arousal in his mouth.
“Joel, please fuck me already.”
Joel laughed softly. “How do you wanna take me, sweet girl?”
“However you want me, please. I just wanna please you.” You admitted submissively.
“Gonna kill me off. On your hands and knees for me then.” He smirked.
You were more than willing to get into that position for Joel, but you needed to see him first. You needed to feel his heavy cock in your hands before he fucked you senseless. You quickly worked on the fastening of his jeans, tugging them down roughly to reveal his tented boxers. Joel shimmied out of his jeans, albeit awkwardly as he allowed you to undress him. You pulled his boxers down, finally to let his hard cock spring up.
You eagerly wrapped your hand around his shaft, your hand felt so small in comparison and you gave him a few testing strokes, your thumb swiping over the swollen head to collect his precum. Joel groaned beside you, he watched your hand stroke him and he gently thrust into your small fist.
“I want you to fuck my throat, please, Mr. Miller.” You whispered, stroking him faster at the thought.
“Jesus,” Joel groaned, screwing his eyes shut to anchor himself. “Can’t talk like that and call me that, you’ll have me cumming in an embarrassingly quick time.” He chuckled.
You giggled, feeling giddy at his admission and you sped your hand up; his precum making your movements slick.
“Please Mr. Miller.” You whined, your mouth watering at the thought of his heavy cock stuffing into your throat.
“Not tonight, darlin’. I’ve been waiting far too long to have you, I don’t think I’d be able to cope.” He groaned.
You rolled your eyes and released his cock from your hand to roll over; you got onto your knees and let the flat area of your triceps hold you up on the bed, you arched your back and allowed your ass to wiggle upwards for Joel.
“Atta girl, didn’t have to ask you twice.” Joel cooed.
You smiled, his praise making you feel eager to please him further, just anything to be good for him. Joel was quick to position himself behind you, he held the base of his hard cock and pressed himself to you, he passed his cock through your wet folds before he roughy thrust into you. His hands held your hips roughly and you gasped, your head lulling forward with the rough movement.
Joel groaned as he bottomed out inside of you, his hips were flush to your ass and he sensually rolled them to feel himself go deeper in you. You could feel yourself stretching around Joel’s thick length, he was the biggest you’d had and your fingers clawed at the sheets below you. You couldn’t help but moan as he pulled out and thrust forward once again, he was already building up a punishing pace, one that you knew would make you feel sore tomorrow.
Joel was groaning behind you as he watched your tight hole greedily suck him back in as he thrust into you. You were everything he had wanted for months and the fact you were there, bent over for him and so willing had him going insane. His fingers dug into your skin roughly as he fucked you, his hips were snapping quickly but he still had a sensual rhythm going.
“Feels so good.” He huffed, sounding a little breathless. “You. Feel, so good.”
You were all but biting at the sheets below you, you were trying to keep yourself as quiet as you could be from the fear of Jack hearing you but Joel was making it difficult. You arched your back further and it had Joel hitting that glorious bundle of nerves within your sponges walls.
“Mr. Miller,” you whimpered. “I’m close. I’m gonna cum.”
Joel pulled out of your abruptly, he held both of your hips tightly and he flipped your body on the mattress; it momentarily winded you, more out of shock than anything. You didn’t realise he was so strong but there you were suddenly, flipped onto your back. Joel held onto one of your hips again as he thrust into you.
“I wanna watch your pretty face as you cum on my cock. I wanna see how crazy it drives you.” He groaned and he dipped his thumb down to expertly circle your clit.
You clawed at the skin of his chest and you threw your head back with a loud moan, all inhibitions finally being freed. Your eyes fluttered shut in pleasure and Joel smirked as he watched your face contort and your back arched off the bed, he pressed a little rougher with his thumb and slowed his hips to a sensual roll so he could pleasure you more. The tip of his cock nudged into you just right and you were soon tumbling into the most intense orgasm you had ever experienced.
“That’s right, babydoll. Cum for me, but open those eyes of yours, need you to look at me as you cum. Need to watch you. Look at me.” Joel cooed, speeding his thumb up. “Cum for me. This is what it’s liked to be fucked properly, tell me how good my cock feels in you. Dirty little girl.”
You opened your mouth to reply but all that came tumbling from your lips were pathetic moans as you were fucked through your orgasm. Your eyes fluttered as you stared up at Joel, you used all your might to keep them open as you clenched around Joel, trying to draw his cock in deeper.
“S-so good.” You managed to squeak out. “Feels so fucking good, never been fucked so good before in my life. Need more.” You whined.
“Fuck,” Joel cursed, his hips stuttering with his final thrusts. “‘M Gonna fill you up, gonna fuck my hot cum into your greedy little hole. You want it?”
You nodded at him and your eyes closed once again as the first spurts of Joel’s hot cum coated your inner walls. You whimpered at the feeling, relishing in the male’s release as he fucked himself through his orgasm.
Joel rolled off of you with a groan, your chests were heaving with shallow breathes and your skin was coated with a light sheen of sweat from the effort. You made a small noise of discomfort as you stood.
“I’ll be right back.” You said quietly and quickly left the room to use the bathroom.
You cleaned yourself up and returned back to Joel’s room, he was sprawled out on top of his sheets, still naked as he breathed softly with his eyes closed. He looked so peaceful, so handsome and you truly just wanted to curl up against his chest and sleep.
“I uh, I should get dressed and leave. Um. Thank you for tonight.” You mumbled and rummaged around in the dark to find your bra that had been strewn on the floor.
“Wait… you said you need to speak to Jack tomorrow and well, it’s already early hours of the morning. Just stay. Please, I don’t wanna have to worry about you driving home this late.” Joel mumbled.
“I don’t know, Joel… it’s a bad idea, I feel it.” You replied quietly.
“Just quit your arguin’ and get into bed.” He said, rolling his eyes; even in the darkness you could see him doing it.
“Fine, god! You’re so bossy.”
You obliged and found yourself curling up in Joel’s bed, you knew in the back of your mind it would probably cause trouble for you but you couldn’t quite care enough to stop it from happening. Joel got into bed with you, he wrapped his large arm around your waist and pulled you close to him. Sleep soon took you both.
When morning finally broke, sunlight drowned the room through the open blinds, the sheets were tangled between you both exposing your bodies and you yawned as you stretched in Joel’s arms. You rolled over to get comfy again before a familiar voice called out into the room.
“Dad?!” Jack was stood there in the doorway, mouth agape and all colour drained from his face. “What the fuck?!”
“We can explain.” You yelped, taking the sheets to cover your bodies quickly.
Joel sleepily sat up, rubbing remnants of sleep from his deep brown eyes and he squinted as his sight adjusted to the morning’s light.
If you weren’t screwed the night before, you most definitely screwed now.

ok here it goes! keep in mind that this has just existed in my head off and on, and not for very long lol!
so, i love the guardians are a family and Jack is the son trope lol, so that's what I based this on.
background:
Set in Berk times
Jack is a fairly young Frost Giant and I'm not really sure yet how he meets the guardians but they're really close
the Guardians are pretty prominent figures in Berk, not visiting all that often, but after Berk became accepting of Dragons they've had an awareness and respect for the Guardians (they're kind of like spirits in this if that makes sense)
the main plot point that I would love to write for a fic is Berk stuck in a very long and harsh winter that keeps going on long past it should.
Berk calls the Guardians because they believe it's spirit related (they haven't met Jack yet)
Jack has been missing and the Guardians have been looking for him so they haven't been back to Berk in a few years
when the Guardians make it to Berk the sense Jack's presence (magically idk lol 😅)
Jack's been put to a coma like sleep under the ocean surrounding Berk (he's hugeeee compared to Berk rn so he fully surrounds it curled up)
Because he's a Frost Giant he's so cold that he was accidentally causing a permawinter in Berk
The Guardians manage to wake him up and he slowly and sleepily rises out of the ocean to face all of Berk and the Guardians
I've had this imagery of water raining off him cause he's so huge, but also so cold so it freezes on him and breaks off when he moves
The Guardians tell Jack that Pitch was the one to imprison him (more magic i haven't figured out lol, also don't know how he does it 😭)
Jack gets angry and tries to stand but can't so he reaches over, rips a tree out of the ground and uses his remaining energy to grow it into a new staff (the movie in my head makes this look so cool and awesome trust me)
he stands, almost falls and has to shrink down where the Guardians catch him and Berk offers them a place to stay while they figure things out
obviously there's Hiccup x Jack lol
That's all I have for now! Sorry if some of it doesn't make much sense!! thanks for listening to me ramble lol
That sounds awesome and the imagery of Gigantor Jack rising out of the water with icicles forming and breaking off him is stunning. I too have a movie-maker in my brain lol. Also the tree becoming a staff is super cool.
I always imagined the Guardians being these distant god-like figures that the villagers in Berk see similar to how we understand viking era folks relationships with their gods/figures of magic. Them forming a relationship with these larger-than-life [sometimes literally] beings would be really cool to explore! Coming to know these figures they've been arguing over being superstition or not *are in fact real* and are *so very human* when they drop their mighty facade; and later forming interpersonal relationships and general Berk-Guardian deals.
I imagine North to be the frost giant father figure when he meets Jack, kinda taking him under his wing as a young frost giant who keeps getting knocked down by far more ancient creatures like pitch. He's been around a while and chills in Jotunheim most of the time, having basically the = of his workshop situated there. But the Berkians see him as a bit of a protective winter diety, one who brings 'gifts' in the middle of the harshest season; wildlife to hunt, winter berries and hearty crops that can survive the frost, etc. They'd probably find some stashed goods they forgot about and attribute it to North gifting it to them, which may be true. A lot of random items ppl dont remember having, but have thought about needing, seem to turn up in their homes throughout December.
Bunny would be a spring forest fey-creature type figure, known to paint the colors into nature in the spring. Maybe they start finding painted dragon eggs around and a yearly hunt starts up as a game between them and the illusive harmless trickster creature. Soon they start painting their own dragon eggs around hatching season, in his honor, and as a bit of a decoration. If youre gonna have dragon eggs all over berk anyways, why not make em pretty? He's also a protector figure, thought to keep dangerous creatures away from the town and people. Maybe even a helper to the lost; leaving a little trail of colorful eggs along the path back to town when kids wander off and get disoriented in the thick woods.
Haven't thought too much about Tooth and Sandy tbh cause I'm not entirely sure how to reform them into a bit more... unfamiliar and creepy but ultimately beneficial diety/folkloric figures. Tooth would be a human-sized fairy, ofc, and have smth to do with teeth and deals made with said teeth, but I'm not sure beyond that. Maybe shes a symbol of wealth and growth, as well as memory and retaining knowledge from your youth to inform your future. And ofc Sandy still has to do with dreams and sand, but I'm not sure how the Berkians would worship him yet. What kind of offerings they'd give in exchange for dreams or a good night's rest. Maybe he works with oracles/seers to give them visions in their dreams; omens good and bad alike, of past, present, maybe future. Perhaps he works primarily with Gothi and her practice revolves around divination and wisdom, with Sandy as a bit of a guide and source of knowledge.
Idk you've got me thinking about their relationships with the Berkians and how that relationship impacts their everyday life and religious practices. I love it!

"Is that a dragon? That's a dragon! It's a dragon! You're a dragon!"
Hiccup and Toothless share a look. When facing a thousand pound, flying, fire-breathing lizard, people tend to back away at best, and at worst, they start swinging - axes, clubs, fists. In general, there's a lot of panic, sometimes screaming, involved. Hiccup was prepared for that, not whatever Jack's doing.
Clearly, if their guest was healthier - more capable of moving without risk of death, he would be running around like a madman. But, thankfully for Hiccup's sanity, Jack can barely stand, staying on his feet through sheer stubborn will.
But he laughs freely and loudly as a smile lights up his whole face. Hiccup could almost - almost - forget the corpse-like tinge of Jack's skin, the sunken shadows on his cheeks, or the bruise-like marks beneath his eyes.
"Uh yeah... So... Meet Toothless... He's a dragon, alright." Hiccup frowns. "What? Have you never seen a dragon before?"
"Of course not!" Jack replies, not taking his eyes off Toothless. "Dragons don't exist where I'm from. We only have stories, you know, myths and legends." He turns to Hiccup. "You're the weird one here."
"Me?"
"Yeah! You see dragons everyday and you're just so boring about it."
"Gee, thanks."
"Oh not like that! I was just - I don't know. I'm over here losing my mind and you're just standing there, looking at me funny."
Hiccup tries to imagine a life where dragons had not been part of his existence since day one. He nearly gets a headache for his efforts. A life - a world without dragons? What? There's no way. That's just impossible.
"Aaaand now you just look constipated."
Hiccup rolls his eyes. "So what do you have over in the New World?"
"Horses? Bears? Sheep? Beavers?"
"What's a beaver?"
"It's kinda like a giant rat - big front teeth and a wide flat tail. They build their houses on rivers. You can make good money from their fur."
"Huh."
"Right? Totally not as cool as dragons."
"You know, most people would be afraid of dragons. You're over here acting like Snoggletog came early."
"What's Snoggletog?"
"What's - Okay, this is too much. You're breaking my brain over here."
Jack cackles, which quickly turns into hacking coughs that shake his whole body.
Hiccup frowns. "I think that's enough excitement for one day."
"What? No! We just got started! I'm literally four steps from the front door!" Jack wheezes out, gesturing at the hut sitting right at his back.
It's only been two days since Jack woke up and introduced himself. This was not nearly enough time for a full recovery, according to Gothi. But after a couple hours of sitting around, watching water boil, the guy was literally climbing up the walls. Once, Hiccup had to catch him because Jack almost fell out the window. All things considered, that was probably an escape attempt... Or maybe Jack had really intense cabin fever. If Hiccup had to spend two whole days with only Gothi for company, he would also throw himself out the window.
Since Jack was driving himself crazy (which drove Gothi crazy), Hiccup took pity on him (on them both), and offered to show him around Berk. Of course, that meant Jack would get to see all the dragons roaming around. There was a good chance that Jack would keel over at the sight of so many dragons in one place. So, not taking any risks, Hiccup figured that a quiet, one on one introduction would help their guest get... used to the way they do things around here.
Given the way Jack got so excited from meeting Toothless, Hiccup can pat himself on the back for a job well done. He can also smack himself for not thinking about the whole "Jack can barely move" problem. How's the guy supposed to see Berk if he can't even walk ten steps without collapsing? Didn't think about that, did ya Hiccup?
Hiccup and Toothless share another look. If dragons could shrug, Toothless would have done so at that exact moment. He also would have said something like, "Hey, this guy's your problem." Lazy lizard.
Sighing, Hiccup runs a hand through his hair, thinking over his options. Maybe if he...
"If we strap you to the saddle, we can show you Berk from the sky."
Jack's eyes nearly pop out of his skull. "The sky? What? You're gonna let me ride Toothless? We're gonna fly?!"
Hearing him say so, Hiccup begins to question his idea. The face that Toothless makes doesn't help. But Jack is vibrating with excitement now, his grin curling from ear to ear. Hiccup doesn't have the heart to deny him.
"Yeaaa... But just a short flight... If you die on my watch, Gothi can and will curse me."
"Fair. But I'm not gonna die." Jack rolls his eyes.
Hiccup snorts. "Well, I suppose there's really only one way to find out."
It takes some work. Hiccup asked Gothi for some spare leather, which he quickly wove into a rudimentary belt. Then he handed Jack some of his extra flight gear (kept on hand in case something breaks midair), and walked him through adjusting it for his size. Jack was vaguely annoyed, almost sulking, when he had to tighten the straps several notches. Hiccup made things worse by grinning at the size difference. After a lifetime of being the village toothpick, it's sooo nice to be bigger than someone for once.
Finally, it was the moment of truth. Hiccup was fairly confident that Toothless would allow Jack a seat on his back. But as they say, "it's never wise to count your fish before coming to shore".
With Jack watching closely, Hiccup steps forward, holding out his hand. "Just let him come to you."
Taking his cue, Toothless bumps his snout against Hiccup's palm, exactly the way he did all those years ago.
"See?" Hiccup glances at Jack as he gently pets Toothless. "As long as you're careful and slow..."
Jack meets his gaze and nods slowly. He copies Hiccup, lifting a hand up and letting it hang in the air. Unlike when Hiccup first tried this, Jack doesn't look away. Toothless stares right back. For what feels like forever, neither make a move and Hiccup starts to think that they'll never move again. Then Toothless decides to break their little staring contest, but he doesn't press his snout to Jack's hand. No, this weirdo of a lizard decides to lick Jack's palm. Their equally weird guest outright cackles with glee. Toothless appears very pleased with himself.
Hiccup shakes his head, clapping his hands. "Alright, alright. We're all good buddies now, great! Let's not waste anymore daylight."
Jack whoops and scrambles over to the saddle. After some awkward wiggling and squirming, it becomes pretty clear that Jack has never sat on a saddle in his whole life. Toothless keeps trying to look behind him, wondering what this strange new human was doing on his back.
"Need some help?" Hiccup asks, stifling a smile.
"Nah! I'm good!" Jack says cheerfully, with his booted feet planted on the saddle, and nowhere near the stirrups.
Hiccup crosses his arms. "I'm sorry to say that you've got it all wrong."
Jack takes in his crouched position. "What? No! Can't be!"
There's even odds that this guy is just messing with him. But Hiccup finds himself laughing along. It was just a bit of harmless fun.
"Right well, your feet are supposed to go here. Let me-" Hiccup reaches over to take hold of Jack's ankle.
He didn't mean anything by it. He was just going to place Jack's foot into the stirrup. But as soon as Hiccup's fingers brush against Jack's ankle, the guy flinches hard and launches himself off the saddle. Toothless lets out a loud squawk, echoed by Hiccup, as they watch Jack tumble down - head first - towards the ground.
Luckily, Toothless is not very tall so falling off his back won't cause permanent damage. But it would still hurt. From the hard thump followed by a breathless groan, it sure sounds like it hurts.
"Jack!" Hiccup hurries over.
"I'm fine! I'm fine! Just a little..." Jack waves a hand. "You... I wasn't expecting the..."
The poor guy looks shaken, breathing heavily and trembling all over. All that from one tiny touch? Hiccup frowns.
"Sorry, I didn't - I was - I should have warned you."
"No, no, no! You're good!" Jack folds his brow, keeping his eyes fixed on the ground. "It really wasn't a big deal."
"Coulda fooled me..." Hiccup murmurs under his breath. "Can you - Are you hurt?"
"Just my dignity, but who needs that, right?" Jack pushes himself up and dusts himself off.
Hiccup snorts. "I wouldn't know. I never had that myself."
Jack grins, already looking a lot steadier. Sure, he's breathing a little funny, but he's less twitchy - less ready to run. Before Hiccup could say anything more, Jack's already back by Toothless, swinging himself onto the saddle, no more messing around. But the stirrups still give him trouble and after a few failed tries, he lets out a frustrated grunt and kicks off his boots.
"There! Much better!"
Hiccup blinks. "Huh? Did those not fit?"
"Nope, those fit fine. I just don't like boots."
"Do you not wear boots in the New World?"
"Can we just go already? The sun's gonna set!"
"We're not going anywhere until you put the boots back on. It's even colder up in the air. You could get frostbite!"
Jack snorts. "Please! I'm not even cold right now! And we're only gonna be up there for what? Five minutes? Ten? I'm not gonna lose my toes after ten minutes of windchill!"
Hiccup clenches his jaw before breathing out a heavy sigh. He's spent a lifetime with hardheaded people. He knows a lost argument when he sees one. "Fine, fine. What's a few toes in the grand scheme of things?"
"That's the spirit!"
Hiccup gives Toothless a tired look. Toothless has the audacity to laugh at him. Thanks, bud. Real supportive. Grabbing hold of the saddle, Hiccup hops on as easy as one, two, three. He settles himself behind Jack, and again, the contact causes Jack to flinch. The reaction is more muted this time, undoubtedly due to the guy's admirable restraint. Yet Hiccup can pick out the way Jack draws his shoulders up, his arms pressing tight against his torso, and his hands holding onto the harness with a white-knuckled grip. Every part of him is wound up tighter than a trebuchet about to fire.
"We good?" Hiccup asks.
"Yeah," Jack squeaks out.
Taking pity on the guy, Hiccup ignores the way Jack sounded like mouse just then. "Alright, let's get you strapped in."
Somehow, Jack tenses even more but he doesn't complain as Hiccup winds the belt around them both. Then Hiccup leans forward, pressing his front to Jack's back, as he grabs onto the harness. Close together like this, Hiccup could feel Jack's ribs stretch and shrink - faster and shorter with every breath.
"Everything ok-"
"Just. Fly."
Thor save Hiccup from stupidly stubborn guys. He wasn't kidding about Gothi cursing him.
"Alright. You heard the man, Toothless."
Letting out a warbling growl, the Night Fury stretches out his wings and with a click from Hiccup's prosthetic, they leap into the air.
Jack stops breathing entirely. He stops for a single, sticky second - long enough for Hiccup to start panicking. But then Toothless levels out, prompting Hiccup to adjust his tail, and just like that, they were flying.
And Jack... Jack laughs - a noisy, clumsy, heavy sound as if he needs his whole body to laugh. Hiccup has never heard anything more joyous. Toothless must share his opinion because the dragon lets out an echoing roar before barrel-rolling across the air. Jack's laughter transforms into a throaty shriek as he lets go of the harness, opening his arms wide like he's trying to embrace the sky itself.
Hiccup thanks every god he can name that he had the foresight to strap this guy onto the saddle. Jack would have slid right off from that stunt.
"Are you crazy?!" Hiccup yells, tugging hard on the harness. "Toothless, quit it! Jack, put your hands back down!"
Toothless gets the message because he straightens out neatly. Hiccup knows that the dragon is rolling his eyes. Just for that, he is sooo not getting fresh chicken tonight.
Jack breathes out a throaty chuckle before placing his hands right back on the harness. "Man, that was fun. You get to do that every day?"
It's hard to believe this was the same scared-stiff guy from earlier. From his position, Hiccup can't quite see Jack's face but he could see a world of difference in the looseness of Jack's limbs and the soft curve of his back. Somehow, Jack seems more at ease, more at peace in mid-air than he ever did on the ground.
"Yeah... I'm pretty sure Toothless would bite my head off if I didn't take him flying at least once a day. Twice if we have time."
"Wow..."
Toothless takes them up higher and further out into the ocean until the whole island could be seen. Then, as if greeting them personally, a strong Northern wind whistles by, parting the clouds and letting the sun shine a spotlight onto the busy, messy, crazy village below. From this height, Hiccup could see the sturdy perches placed by each home, the forever full feeding stations, and the comfy, customized stables. He could watch a cacophony of colored scales wing around the vikings as they went about their day - fishing, fighting, and even frolicking when they thought no one was looking.
"Oh," Jack whispers - soft and gentle and weightless with wonder.
Hiccup allows himself to smile proudly. No one could say that they had it easy these last few years, but they made it here somehow - a long way from where they started.
"Welcome to Berk."

HTTYD fic rec: Crossover verse~
Everything we know about you is wrong series by penlessismyname
Synopsis: Hiccup goes into the Hunger Games. There, he meets a very special mutt.
Review: A beautiful blend of Hunger Games verse with how to train your dragon characters that we love. Although the world-building is intriguing and marvellous on its own, the characters are the real stars in the show here. Every single one of them are complex and provide thoughtful insights about the relationships and the world they live in. The lonely son of a popular Victor Stoick the Vast in District 4- Hiccup volunteered for his cousin in a fit of courage and was expected to die in the first 10 seconds of the game. Somehow, friendship sneaks into the deadly game, and Hiccup may actually survive after all.
Shippers of Hiccup and Astrid might be disappointed, but Hiccup's relationship with Toothless in the hostile Capitol more than make up for it. The author's pacing and writing is seriously so good that I stayed up till 3am to read it. Currently, there are two complete works in the series, with Hiccup's and Astrid's perspectives in the games, with a much awaited Stoick's perspective coming up.
Life built on snow and ashes series by afterandalasia
Synopsis: It starts with a boy in a village, a wildling in a cavern, and a dragon in a cove.
Review: The series puts a magical (and darker) spin in Berk and Arendelle, mixing people with magic (called wildlings) and dragons in the world of HTYYD. It is a long read that detailed Elsa and Hiccup's venture to unite dragons, wildlings and vikings, and uncover the dark society behind Elsa' exile. The plot of the story is mysterious and hooks you in with the mystery behind Elsa's background.
half an eternity by Marnie27
Synopsis:
Dragons,” North said, “Are evil creatures. Terrible monsters, that can kill and destroy entire towns with seas of fire! I have seen them. Vith my very own eyes!”
So had Jack, and maybe they were just as bad as he had said, but the last one — Toothless, he really wasn’t as bad as North was saying. “What if you’re wrong? What if dragons are good?”
“I am not vong. It doesn’t even matter if they’re good. Vhat matters is that Pitch controls them, and creates fear. They do his bidding. There is no such thing as a good dragon as long as Pitch is on this earth, and there never vill be.”
(ROTG X HTTYD) Hiccup as Pitch AU
Review: This work hurts my heart in all the good ways. Although it is marked incomplete, the first arc is already resolved and could be read as a whole story. The story diverted from the first movie in the most heart-wrenching way- Hiccup dying from the Red Death, leaving his friends, family and dragon behind. The plot thickens as Hiccup tries to reunite with them, and come to terms with the being he has become. Existential yet funny, this fic is underrated and deserves to be more well-known.
If you guys have or want any more fic recs about hiccup and toothless, feel free to message me.

Everybody wants to go to Heaven
Pairing: Kate Milligan/Mary Winchester
Archive warnings: None
Length: 4k
Rating: Mature
Summary:
After Mary first came back from the dead, she thought she remembered everything there was about her previous life. Now that she has died a second time and the meddling God has been defeated, she realises that her memories might have been a little skewed.
That's not the only unexpected discovery awaiting her, though. Not when the pretty woman she meets in that new Heaven Jack made turns out to be the mother of one of John's children, too.
Read on AO3 or below the cut
Heaven was different here, Mary decided as she surveyed the rolling fields, straining her eyes to make out a building of some sort in the distance. It was less bright here than in the other place, she thought even as she shaded her eyes from the sun, the colours less washed out. Everything seemed more real, somehow, and if Cas’ words were anything to go by, at least the people were real. Not just memories of those she had known in life, but actual, breathing- well, maybe not breathing, or living, but definitely existing humans.
Speaking of Castiel, he stepped up next to her, hands in the pockets of his trench coat, which billowed slightly in the breeze.
“What do you think?” he asked, taking it all in himself, even though he must have seen it a thousand times by now.
“Well, I haven't seen much of it yet. And the others... you said everyone here is a friend of Sam and Dean?” Mary asked, trying to hide her anxiousness, but feeling herself biting her lower lip.
After a moment of consideration, Castiel said: ”Mostly, yes. They've never met Bill Hargreeves, but we could hardly exclude him when his wife and daughter are here.” He stopped again for a moment, glancing at Mary before facing away again. “He's one of those who are only tangentially connected with Sam and Dean. And we've been thinking of bringing more people here. When we have more open plan Heavens, everyone can choose where to go, but for now Jack wants to give everyone who he has met or heard of before a preview, so to speak.”
Mary smiled. “He's a good kid.”
Again, Cas looked at her, but this time his eyes didn't leave again. “You do remember what happened, right?”
“You mean how I died?” Mary sighed. “Yeah. I should have backed off, shouldn't have crowded him like that. Should have known he wasn’t himself, that he couldn’t control himself.”
“It was orchestrated to happen, I think,” Cas said, looking sad.
Right. Because his father – the actual God – had meant for it to happen. Because he had toyed with everyone's lives, most of all those of the people surrounding her sons.
“That's over now, right? Free will actually means something?” Mary shifted uncomfortably. Ever since dying again, she had been remembering more and more about her own life, especially about those first few years with John.
He hadn't been sweet on her, as she’d always told herself. Not at first.
She hadn't been sweet on him either.
As of yet, she hadn't asked anyone to confirm, but she wasn't stupid. If she and John had to have children in order for them to be perfect vessels or whatever, it stood to reason that Heaven would have interfered in case of any hiccups.
Like the two destined people not liking each other.
“Yes, it's over now,” Cas said gently.
While he could be quite blunt at times, which she also appreciated, Mary had come to find that Cas could be very sweet when dealing with people he liked. Mostly, she'd seen it directed at Jack. Sometimes at Dean or Sam.
It felt a little odd to be included in this intimate circle. Not that it felt bad, but did she really deserve to be looked at by him like that?
Perhaps he was just extending his gentleness to her as a favour to Sam and Dean.
Just like everything in her life, and even her after-life, was connected to Sam and Dean.
But there would be time enough to chew on that. For now, all she could do was step forward, and see where it would take her.
Literally.
She started walking towards the building in the distance, leaving Cas to contemplate the field.
The building turned out to be a bar called The Roadhouse, a somewhat ramshackle wooden place, but with a homey feel to it. Its inhabitants seemed to be varied – there were the Hargreeves, a family of hunters, and Bobby, though not the one Mary knew. But there was also a young man named Ash, who talked like a hippie and was apparently some kind of genius regarding computers or the internet or something.
Then there was a man named Rufus, who would gripe at Bobby, and he would in turn roll his eyes and gripe back.
From what she was told, not everyone had known each other in life, though everyone knew at least someone there, except for Mary.
Then someone else walked in. A blonde woman around Mary’s age, a little smaller than her, with a petite frame. She was accompanied by Jack, who gave Mary a somewhat sad smile, but proceeded to introduce the mystery woman.
“This is Kate. She's Adam's mother.” When no one said anything, Jack frowned. “Oh right, you probably don't know who Adam is.”
“Wait,” Bobby said, stepping forward. “Adam as in... John's other kid?”
Mary froze. John's what?
Kate's face grew clouded. “He's my son. John...” She shook her head. “Never mind.”
“Was anyone going to tell me that John had other children?” Mary asked, and regretted the sharpness in her voice when Kate looked at her with wide eyes.
“I only know about the one. And last I checked, he was still in Hell,” Bobby muttered.
“He was where?” Mary gaped at him, and Bobby looked away.
“He came back. Together with Michael,” Jack started explaining, but hesitated when Mary turned to stare at him. “Not that Michael. Another one. A... better one. Kinder.”
Bobby huffed. “'Kind' ain't a word I'd use for him, kid.”
Jack contemplated this. “Maybe he wasn't like that when you met him. And maybe you need the comparison to the other Michael to use that word, but... He's been helping. We wouldn't have come so far without him.”
Mary shook her head in disbelief. This other Michael really must have been very different from the one she'd met.
“Whatever. But you said...” Mary turned towards Kate. “Your son is John's...” She couldn't continue that sentence.
Kate looked at her curiously. “Yes, John is his father.” She pursed her lips. “Even if he barely deserves that title, after what he pulled him into.”
“He didn't do it on purpose,” Jack said cautiously. “He couldn't have known what role his sons were meant to play in Heaven's plans.”
“No, but he could have told us that monsters exist. He could have been there and protected us.” The bitterness was evident in both Kate's voice and on her face. “But of course, he couldn't be bothered. And we paid the price for it.”
Mary looked at her for a long moment. Another woman disappointed by John. Another son he had failed to raise properly, who he had not been there for.
This one, he had apparently messed up by not making him a hunter.
“It's difficult,” she heard herself say, “to know what to tell your children. Or your spouse. If you tell them, life as they know it will be over. The world will suddenly be a dangerous place full of monsters.”
“The world has always been a dangerous place,” Kate said coldly. “And the monsters were there anyway.”
“Sure, but what do you think the world becomes when you tell a five-year-old that the monsters under his bed – or in the closet – are real?” Mary had to take a deep breath and force herself not to think of her own dad.
She couldn’t quite keep the image of a blade shining in the glow of her night light out of her head.
But Kate was having none of it. “Adam wasn't five. And neither was I! Hell, John never knew Adam when he was five. He was eleven by the time he got me to cave and call his dad. And John... what? Forgot to tell us he was hunting monsters instead of being a truck driver? He lied to us.”
“He was protecting you,” Mary said softly.
“Bullshit,” Kate said sternly.
Behind Mary, Bobby snorted. “Now I know where the kid gets it from.”
“Well, I think we can all agree,” Rufus said, getting up from his chair and drawing everyone's attention, “that John Winchester was kind of an ass.”
Ellen Harvelle made a sound of protest while Jo laughed in disbelief. Bobby glared at Rufus.
“You never even met him,” Bobby said gruffly.
“Yeah, but from what I heard, he was a real ray of sunshine.”
Mary sighed. Bobby and Rufus were starting to remind her of those two old muppets. She couldn't currently remember their names, but Dean had loved them as a kid.
“Well,” Bill said, “Rufus ain’t completely wrong.”
Ellen swatted him with a dish towel and shook her head, but she was smiling.
“John was a lot of things. Complicated. Stubborn.” Mary heard her own voice hollowing out on the next word. “Angry. Righteous. Easily obsessed.” She let out a mirthless laugh. “I guess he fit right into the family.”
When she shook herself out of her reflections and looked around, everyone was giving her pitying looks.
Great.
“Anyway,” she muttered, turning back to Kate. “I'm not trying to defend John's character. But not drawing your son into the hunting life... that definitely wasn't one of his worst decisions.”
“Yeah,” Kate said, but her eyes were cold. “I bet the monsters that ate Adam and me thought it was a great move.”
Mary had to close her eyes as she winced. “I'm so sorry.”
When she opened her eyes again, Kate was giving her a calculating look. “You were his wife?”
“Yeah.” Mary hesitated. “For a few years. And then I died.”
Kate weighed her head. “This might be insensitive, but you don't look that much younger than me.”
A weak smile appeared on Mary's face as she tried and probably failed not to show her sadness. “I was 29 when I died the first time. But when I came back... well, let's just say I suddenly had a lot more back pain than I used to.”
Kate stared at her, mouth slightly open until she managed to close it. There was pity in her eyes, now, too, and Mary gritted her teeth and turned away.
“My boys,” she said. “John turned them into hunters. Monster killers. They lost their home when I died and instead of finding another, John dragged them from motel to motel. He went where there were monsters to kill, and he took Sam and Dean with him.”
When she glanced at Bobby, he looked like he wanted to say something. But the moment their eyes met, he looked away.
“They deserved better,” Mary continued. “They deserved to be kids.”
Kate's face was unreadable.
Behind her, Jo sat a bottle of whiskey down on the bar. “This sounds like a topic for drinks.”
Mary didn't know how they had gotten there, but a couple of shots in, Kate and her started talking about their kids.
“You should have seen the look on Adam's face when the coke reacted to the Mentos. He was so convinced that it was magic, and that I was somehow the most powerful magician in the world.” Kate giggled. “And when I told him it was science... I ended up having to tell him all about molecules.”
Mary smiled, and sipped her whiskey. “How old was he?”
Kate snorted. “Six.” She shook her head. “I didn't even know the word molecule at that age. But Adam had no problem understanding that the world was made up of particles so small that we can't see them with the naked eye.” She sipped her drink. Mary had already forgotten what it was, but it was blue and had a little umbrella in it.
“Sounds like you raised him right,” Mary said.
Kate's smile became sad. “I tried. But he mostly raised himself. Next to my work, I barely had enough time or energy to even take care of the house, much less him.”
Mary frowned. “Where did you work?”
“Hospital. I was a nurse.” Kate looked at her sheepishly. “That's how I met John. He came to the ER. Guess I should have known back then that he was lying when he talked about having fallen out of the door of his truck. But...”
Mary felt the corner of her mouth lifting up. “But he was charming,” she said. “And you wanted to believe him.”
“Yeah.” Kate glanced at her again, seeming surprisingly sober now. “I guess you know what that's like?”
The smile on Mary's face was sad, and she took another sip of her whiskey to hide it. “My fingers and toes aren't enough to count how many times he promised me he'd pull himself together. That he wouldn't get angry at every little thing, and wouldn't vanish again for days on end.” She swirled the amber liquid in her glass, then put it back down on the bar. “I wanted to believe him too.”
“You're not defending him anymore,” Kate said matter-of-factly.
Mary shook her head. “I never meant to imply that he's done nothing wrong. He definitely has, and not too little.” She grimaced. “He screwed up my boys. But then, I screwed them up some more.”
“It's hard, being a mother.”
“They saved the world,” Mary said, pride and sadness warring in her voice. “Is it bad that I wish they could just be safe and happy?”
“That's what every mother wants for her kids.” Kate put a hand on Mary's back. It was warm, even through the layers Mary was wearing. Maybe it was because they were souls here, and didn't have actual bodies.
“The worst thing is that I understand it.” Mary picked up her whiskey glass and Kate dropped her hand. The spot on Mary's back where it had laid instantly felt cold. “John's actions, I mean. Not so much the revenge, but... The demons came after me, what stopped them from coming after Sam and Dean? They needed to learn how to protect themselves.” She drained her glass in one big gulp. “Even if that meant putting a knife in a five year old's hands.”
She smiled at Kate, but she could feel that her eyes were dead.
“Don't get me wrong. I can understand it – but that doesn't mean that I can forgive it.”
Kate weighed her head. “They might have died if they had led a normal life. Like Adam. Maybe not at his age, but eventually.”
Mary thought about it. Heaven had had an eye on her boys since before they had been born, she was pretty sure. They wouldn't have gotten away.
Kate was right. They would have just gotten dead.
“I guess it's useless to dwell on it,” Mary eventually said.
Kate raised an eyebrow at her. “Yeah, well, I'm still going to punch John if I ever see him again.”
Mary couldn't help it – she laughed.
It might have been hours later, or maybe days. It was difficult to tell time in Heaven, Mary thought as she kept drinking with Kate. Sometimes, Ellen joined them for shots, and Mary talked to Bobby and Rufus for a hot minute, but mostly she and Kate sat together in what was sometimes companionable silence and at other times animated conversation.
And then John walked into the bar.
Mary might not even have realised it, if everyone around her hadn't progressively grown silent. Bobby grumbled something under his breath that sounded like a curse while Ellen looked calculatingly between John, Mary and Kate.
When John's eyes fell on Mary, they widened. He took a step towards her, a smile forming on his face - and then he saw Kate.
“What-”
“Hey John,” Mary said, and downed the last of her whiskey in one go. The sound of the glass hitting the wood was loud in the silent Roadhouse. “Long time no see.”
“Yeah,” John said, his eyes flitting between Mary and Kate. “Mary-”
“What, you think it's awkward because Kate is here? Don't worry about that. I was dead, it's not like you cheated on me.” Mary shrugged. If they were going by that, she had also cheated on him, with Ketch and those others.
She had thought that having sex would help her feel better. No, that wasn't quite right – she had thought that it would help her feel young again.
Of course, it had done quite the opposite. It had just shown her how different her body was to what she’d remembered.
John smiled again, though a little more timidly, and took another step towards Mary. He stopped when he saw the expression on her face, and his eyes flitted down to where she had her arms crossed in front of her chest.
“Sweetheart?” he asked, his smile wavering.
“Don't 'sweetheart' me,” Mary hissed. “You made my boys into hunters, John.”
John's eyes widened for a moment, and then he frowned. “How do you even know-”
“Never mind how I know. You put a gun into Dean's hand when he was a little boy. He never got to be a child because of you!” Mary felt tears stinging her eyes as she spoke, and tried to will them away. Maybe she was being hypocritical, using this against John when Dean had hurled it at her.
It had been her fault that she had died, after all. She had made that deal with the yellow-eyed demon, and she hadn't been strong enough to fight him when he had come back.
But it had been John's decision to go down the path of revenge, and to take his two small children with him.
“Mary, after you died...” John trailed off, closing his eyes, then tried again. “We had to get the thing that got you.”
“And then what?” Mary shook her head, and took a step back when John tried to come towards her again. “You made my sons into killers. They're never going to have a normal life, and that's on you. You did the same to them that my father-”
She broke off, and had to look away.
A warm hand laid down gently on her back as Kate stepped up next to her.
“You made those boys into soldiers, John,” she said with an authority that made her seem tall, even though she was half a head smaller than Mary. “And you failed to even tell me or Adam that there was danger out there.”
“Kate-” John started, but she took a step forward, interrupting him.
“Nineteen, John. That's how old my boy was when he was ripped apart by-” Kate was audibly holding back tears. “-by those monsters.”
John's face fell. He hadn't wanted any of this, that much was clear. Who would?
But that didn't excuse it.
“Kate, listen. I just wanted him to grow up feeling safe, grow up normal-”
“Well, he didn't! He didn't grow up at all! Feeling safe is all well and good when you are safe, but not when there are monsters out for your head because your father killed one of them before!” Kate was seething again. By now, Mary knew that she hadn't personally witnessed Adam's death, but she had certainly heard about it – and all that had followed his death.
He was doing fine now, or at least he seemed to think so. It was difficult for Mary to wrap her head around the whole thing with him and that other Michael, but then Kate wasn't doing all that better on that front.
“Kate... I didn't know,” John said, and took a step towards her.
She shook her head, her pretty blonde hair flying. “No, you didn't. And that's the point. You thought you knew better than anyone else, that you had the right to keep these things from us, to do whatever you wanted. Well, guess what.”
Kate positioned herself right in front of John. Even though she was small and petite, and had to look up at him, he instinctively cringed back.
“You're not the arbiter of who gets to live in innocence and who doesn't,” she hissed.
John squared his shoulders. “Kate, with all due respect, but you don't know anything about what it means to be-”
He never got to finish that sentence, because Kate's fist collided so hard with his face that his head was thrown to the side, and he stumbled and fell to his knees. Now Kate was standing over him, all righteous fury, her fists trembling.
“With all due respect, John, but you're the one who doesn't know anything. You barely even knew us, but even you should have realised that neither Adam nor me are some kind of delicate flowers who need you to protect us from harsh truths. All you did was put us in danger by association, and not even tell us about it.”
Mary walked over while John struggled to his feet. In the back of her jeans pocket were the brass knuckles which were one of the first items she'd bought on Earth.
Just as John had stood up again, she punched him right in his stupid face. He went down like a wet sack of potatoes.
“That one was for Dean's childhood,” she said coldly. Then she kicked John's head. “And that one for Sam's.”
John didn't move. The Roadhouse was silent.
Finally, Jo said: “Is he... dead?”
“We're all dead, kid,” Rufus answered, and noisily slurped his whiskey.
Kate crouched down and felt for his pulse. “He's alive – as much as any of us are,” she said. Then she glanced up at Mary. “What should we do with him?”
Mary shrugged. “Let him lie here, I'm sure he'll wake up eventually.”
Kate nodded, and stood. “Sorry for the mess,” she said to Ellen.
“No worries. Bobby, Rufus, why don't you help the ladies get him outside, huh? He’ll just be in the way in here.” she said.
“What do they need our help for?” Bobby groused. “They handled him just fine so far.”
“And I'm sure they're quite out of breath from it, so go make yourselves useful.”
Bobby and Rufus grumbled about it, but heaved John's body out of the door, and threw him off the porch.
Kate winced when she saw it. “Now I almost feel bad for him.”
Mary raised an eyebrow at her.
“I said almost.”
Mary smiled, and put a hand on Kate's shoulder. “Do you know if we got houses around here?”
“Oh, yes. Mine isn't far, just behind the forest. Jack showed it to me before he brought me here.” One of Kate's hands came to rest on top of Mary's. “Would you like to see it?”
“I would love to,” Mary said, and was surprised at how soft her own voice sounded.
“Then come.” Kate took her hand and pulled her outside, past John's still unmoving form, and towards a patch of woods which Mary hadn't noticed before.
There were fairy lights hung between the trees, and mushrooms littered the floor that looked like little houses. Mary wouldn't have been surprised to see a Smurf popping out of one of them, or a fairy flying by among the trees.
“I love my house here. It's everything I've ever dreamed of,” Kate told her as she led her through the forest, still holding her hand. “I suppose it's kind of childish, but... it looks magical, there are nooks and crannies everywhere, and it even has a little tower in one spot. Oh, and there's a conservatory. Perfect for sitting in it on a nice day, which seems to be most days here. Or even on a rainy day, really, since it's always warm enough in there. You know, I can imagine…”
Kate broke off, a light dusting of red on her face.
It was utterly adorable.
“You can imagine what?” Mary prompted.
“I can imagine, uh… sitting there naked. Could be very freeing, being without restraints, you know.”
Mary squeezed her hand. “Maybe we could do that together some time.”
“Yeah?” Kate asked, turning towards her, and squeezing her hand back.
“Yeah.” They had stopped walking now, and Mary leaned in a little so their breaths mingled. “I'd love being unrestrained with you.”
Kate's eyes flicked down to Mary's lips, then back up to her eyes. “I have to warn you, though.”
“Hm?” Mary made, barely able to keep her hands – or mouth – to herself.
Kate leaned in further, so she was whispering against Mary's ear: “I bite.”
Mary shivered, and grabbed one of Kate's shoulders, as if holding on for dear life.
Being unrestrained inside a conservatory sounded like a lot of fun.
But then, the ground out in the forest also looked rather soft and inviting.

[Part One] [Part Two] [Part Three]
Jack is going to catch his secret admirer this time.
He ate dinner long after sunset to keep his energy up. He made a pot of coffee and downed half of it with a grimace, despite his mother's complaints. Hell, he was even out in the field in the dead of night barefoot, his toes turning numb with the cold press of dirt.
He’s starting to regret that last one. He glances down at his toes, wiggling them to check that they still listen to him. Indeed, they wiggle.
Jack isn’t sure how long he’ll have to wait or if his admirer will come tonight at all. But seeing Hiccup the other day, holding the flower meant for him, had filled him with some feverish desire to finally catch the person in the act. Hiccup was proof that this person did exist. For whatever reason, there’s someone who holds affection for Jack.
The thought warms his face (though, regretfully, it does nothing for his poor feet). Someone holding affection for him. He, Jack, the shepherd boy, who’s made the mistake of biting Hiccup once when they’d gotten too into their wrestling match.
Someone holds affection for him.
The moon is just a skinny slip of light, itty bitty in the inkblot sky. Jack tilts his chin up to it regardless, leaning a little heavier on his staff as he watches shadows of midnight black cross the sky. Likely clouds, but maybe a flock of birds or a late-night dragon hunt. Jack scans the shadow for any indication it’s a group of dragons, even as his thoughts tumble away from the present.
He’s been thinking about his admirer, sure, but ever since he’d caught Hiccup with the flower, he’s also been struck by the realization that he’ll have a chance to spend more time with Hiccup. A trip to the mountains, or even to the dragon village, would surely be easier if he asked his admirer to take him there.
Not that he hasn’t asked Hiccup before. He has, on several occasions. But Hiccup tends to get stuttery anytime Jack hints at finally meeting the dragon riders Hiccup talks so fondly of, so Jack doesn’t push.
Well. He pushes a little. But not too much, or too often. Just a bit of pushing here and there, especially when he isn’t being trailed by Emily.
The thought of Emily makes him frown.
Emily is—well. She’s Emily, which means she’s always saying things, and not all of them are truthful. So when she’d told Jack it was Hiccup leaving him all those gifts, he’d immediately assumed she was messing with him. Hiccup is a friend! A friend who has important things to do for his tribe, important responsibilities. (Besides that, Jack has seen how Hiccup talks about his “friend” Astrid. He’s pretty sure she’s more than a friend, but he doesn’t have any theories as to why Hiccup would be shy on that one.)
The moon whispers out from behind the moving shadow, and Jack’s spirits sink a little at the wispy shapes that pass over its crescent form. Just a cloud.
Blowing his bangs from his forehead with a huff, Jack leans further against his staff, his spine giving a small pop between his shoulder blades as he adjusts his weight. “You think they’ll come tonight?” He asks the sheep. The sheep don’t respond. Jack is sure one day he’ll get them to crack. Hiccup doesn’t seem to think so, but Jack is on a mission to prove him wrong.
Jack lowers his eyes from the moon, gaze pulled like a leaf on the wind to the crook of his staff. He’d taken the flower Hiccup had half crushed and woven the stem of it around the wooden crook, mostly as a way to preserve the flower since it was too damaged to last more than a day. Staring at the stem, Jack lets his thoughts turn idly.
There’s something weird about the whole thing.
Why would Emily lie to him? She’s never tried messing with his feelings before. Getting out of chores and passing blame is her usual MO. They rib one another, but at the end of the day, they’re siblings; Jack sneaks her extra cookies from the cookie jar after dinner, and Emily double checks his bed decoy is still in place on nights Jack sneaks out to the pasture to lie under the moon. She’d never lie to him about something like this.
And now that Jack is thinking about it, why had Hiccup been holding the flower? Had he seen it next to Jack and picked it up? That had been Jack’s assumption when he’d (been very rudely) woken up, but now . . .
“I’m sure he will,” Jack says to the sheep. He can’t remember what he’d been telling the sheep, but talking out loud always helps, especially when his thoughts are as scrambled as they are now. Groaning in frustration, he straightens up from his lean against his staff—
—only to stiffen at the abrupt shuffling of sheep, somewhere to his left.
Jack snatches his staff from the ground and spins on his heel, eyes straining in the darkness.
There! A figure, too shrouded in the night for him to make out any details, but most definitely humanoid (and not a wolf, thank the gods). The moon isn’t doing Jack any favors, but it looks like they’re frozen midstep, their head hunched over their shoulders.
Jack lowers his staff, his heart racing. About time! “Hey!” Jack calls out, putting on his best grin. If they’re a dragon, they can probably see him even in the dark, and he wants to make a decent impression on them.
(The realization that this stranger probably knows Jack far better than Jack knows them is . . . unsettling, but Jack shoves it down. They’ve been leaving him flowers and bread. How much danger could he be in?)
The figure doesn’t unfold from their hunched position, so Jack steps forward, trying to get a better glimpse of them. What little light the moon has been offering flickers away—probably behind a cloud.
The figure bolts.
“Wha—hey!”
Jack spits a curse and takes off after them.
Whoever they are, they’re fast. But Jack is fast too, light as the wind even on frozen feet. Jack can barely make out who he’s chasing, trusting the vague silhouette of panicked sheep parting around them to trace his path over the pasture. The moon begins to emerge from behind its cloud, and big, black leathery things snap open from the figure's back.
For a moment, Jack thinks they’re Hiccup’s wings.
The figure crouches, like they’re about to burst into the air. In a panic, Jack lurches forward with his staff. The crook of it catches the dragon around the waist, just over what looks to be a belt—
—and then Jack is in the air, a mad gust of wind erupting over his face from the figure’s wings. It’d be enough to shock him out of his grip on his staff, had he not been so accustomed to grabbing onto Hiccup for delighted life every time he’d been snatched from the earth. Even so, he yelps in surprise as his body is flung forward.
Their combined weight is enough to throw the figure off their flight. The two of them jolt in midair, and Jack thuds into the figure's legs as momentum catches him. Something metal hits him in the gut, knocking the wind from him. There’s a tug on his staff, and between the chaotic tumbling of it all, Jack’s white-knuckled grip on the wood slips.
He falls, eyes screwed shut as thoughts whirl around his skull too quickly for him to grab at anything other than bracing for pain.
A second later, a body thuds into his, and he’s being flipped suddenly, everything spinning for a wild moment as the figure crushes him to their chest. It’s a rough grab, and Jack’s hands make a blind grab on instinct, frozen fingers gripping at armour—armour Jack knows by heart by now.
Jack’s eyes fly open.
Hiccup’s face is screwed together, the worried knit of his eyebrows achingly familiar in the light of the moon. It only takes a moment for Hiccup to right them in the air, his arms firm around Jack’s waist as his wings beat steady, a near-perfect partner to the night sky.
“Gods, Jack,” Hiccup says. There’s probably irritation in his voice, but Jack’s a bit too busy having his whole world suddenly rearranged to really process the fact that Hiccup’s upset with him. “How did your staff not break? I get you’re not very heavy, but I took off at full speed, and it carried you. What is it made of—Jack? Jack?!”
Jack snaps his eyes away from Hiccup’s mouth. He’s not irritated, Jack realizes abruptly. He’s worried.
“Are you hurt?”
The arms around his waist adjust, and then there’s a hand on his face, strikingly warm against his chilled cheeks. Stupid dragons and all their stupidly natural furnace heat, Jack thinks suddenly and viciously as he lets go of Hiccup’s stupid armour to grab his stupid face. The thought of Hiccup dropping him never even crosses his mind.
“You’re my admirer?” He asks, his voice erupting from him far louder than he’d intended. “You’re the person who’s been leaving me bread and—and flowers and—and—!”
Hiccup’s eyes widen, pupils enormous. His ears flatten against his head, and beneath Jack’s hands, he feels the heat that rises to Hiccup’s cheek. It’s an absurdly nice feeling.
“Uhm,” Hiccup says, when Jack fails to splutter any further. “Surprise?”
Surprise, he says. Surprise.
Jack can’t help but laugh.
It burbles out of him, gently at first, but then he starts to shake with it, something delightful like sizzling bacon or the crash of a hot spring erupting inside of him. He lets go of Hiccup’s face so he can tuck his own into Hiccup’s neck, utterly consumed by the laughter that’s sending him into shambles.
As he slowly regains control of his laughter, Hiccup lowers them to the ground. By the time his feet touch solid earth, he’s dizzy with how happy he feels, and it’s only Hiccup’s arms around him that keep him upright.
“Jack?” he asks. He sounds nervous, or—well. Nervous isn’t quite a strong enough word, or maybe it’s an understatement. He sounds like he’s making that face he gets when Mary catches him off guard by offering him food, or the first time one of the sheep randomly appeared at his side, its bored expression insanely comically next to the utter panic that had made Hiccup’s shoulder rigid as rocks.
The memory is enough to finally make Jack’s laughter subside. He pulls his face from Hiccup’s neck, and sure enough, Hiccup looks halfway between miserable and delighted. It’s a look only he could pull off. Not for the first time, Jack wants to kiss him stupid.
‘Oh, I’m stupid,’ Jack thinks.
“Sorry! Sorry,” he says as he catches his breath, his face sore with the grin that’s completely overthrown his face. “I’m not laughing at you, I swear.”
Hiccup nods like he doesn’t believe Jack, which is fair. “Uh-huh,” he says slowly.
Jack brings his hands back up to Hiccup’s face. Before he can lose his courage, he leans forward, and is greeted by a mouth as warm as the cheeks under his hands as he kisses Hiccup quickly.
When he pulls back, Hiccup looks utterly dazed. And then he grins, pupils enormous and ears straight as sugar cane as he leans forward and thumps his forehead against Jack’s. Jack leans into it, into the soft brush of Hiccup’s fringe and the bump of their noses. “You could have told me,” Jack says, and delights in the feeling of Hiccup’s brow screwing together, even as smile lines appear at his eyes.
“Yeah, that’s. Well. I tried telling you the other day? With the—”
“—The green gambler! Oh Gods, I’m so dumb.”
Hiccup barks out a laugh. “Maybe a little,” he says. Jack jabs him fruitlessly in the ribs, which hurts his finger way more than it hurts Hiccup. But it makes Hiccup laugh against him, his tail making a swish noise in the grass as it sways behind him, so it’s entirely worth it.
Hiccup pulls away from him, arms loosening from Jack’s waist. Before Jack can begin to complain, he sees why—his staff, and a handful of green gamblers clenched tightly in Hiccup’s fist, the stalks crushed in Hiccup’s grasp. “I brought you more,” he starts, his ears doing an odd flutter against his head. “I was trying to make up for the last one I crushed. Which went swimmingly, as you can see so clearly by the evidence.”
Jack wonders how he hadn’t pieced it together before, the little fact that he’s so stupidly smitten by Hiccup, when all he wants to do is kiss the downturned corners of Hiccup’s mouth to see them turn back right side up.
He takes the flowers, and his staff, and then gladly slides back into Hiccup’s personal space like it’s his own. Hiccup’s tail curls around the backs of his heels. “You could always take me to see the village,” he suggests. He’d had a blank image of a figure flying him to dragon village earlier. His mind fills in the shadow with Hiccup’s silhouette, and Jack feels a little breathless. “Show me the mountaintop you’ve been getting them from.”
Hiccup’s smile is achingly sweet, made all the sweeter by the way he hesitates for just a moment before bringing his hand back up to Jack’s face. As if Jack wouldn’t immediately lean into the touch, which he does. “Is that what it takes to make it up to you?” he asks.
“Oh, that’s a hard one. I was pretty bummed about the flower bit. That, and getting rudely woken up, and now that I think about it, you sort of kicked me with your prosthetic, but I guess I did sort of attack you with my staff? Sorry about that, by the way, but you were running and I drank coffee earlier, which is gross, just so I could catch you, so, really, that’s also on you.”
Jack recognizes the look on Hiccup’s face now, the one that’s escaped him forever—its fondness, and it’s almost enough to warm Jack against the cold of night.
“Kiss me?” Jack asks.
Hiccup obliges.

@aura2023 I DID IT. PART THREE, LIKE I PROMISED. Holy shit, I did NOT think this semester was going to be as demanding as it was, so I apologize for the wait! But I loved the ending you'd put in the tags about Jack recognizing Hiccup in the night by his hugs, and I was determined to bring it to life. I really hope you like this!!
(And now to actually look at my thousand other wip's, siiigghh)

Dress
Song: Dress
Word Count: 1082
Summary: From yearning to making out. That's it, that's the plot
Notes: this song is so,, so ?! i didn't edit this so take it as it is
song to listen to while reading
Jack wasn’t sure how it all happened. One moment he and Rapunzel were dancing around the ballroom, and the next they were making out in the library not too far away from the event. But if anything, he wasn't complaining. In fact, he was relishing the moment. Loving every second of it with how he gets to taste his best friend.
She was sweet with a side taste of champagne, but it was enough to make him want more. He kissed her like he couldn’t ever possibly get enough of her, and it electrified him when he felt her kissing him the same way. Like she, too, couldn’t get enough of him.
He supposed it all started when Eugene was getting too chummy with Rapunzel in the ball. He left her behind, you see, after dancing their hearts to get them drinks. When he came back, he found that she wasn’t alone like the social butterfly she is. Jack never really had a problem with her talking to other guys, but Eugene on the other hand…
In a way, he had to thank the guy for helping him realize his feelings for Rapunzel. All the smiles and laughter Rapunzel gave to Eugene was enough to make Jack have this feeling like no other. Just thinking of her loving someone else was enough to tear him down. What more with her in that beautiful dress that hugged her curves and brought out her green eyes.
It didn’t come as a surprise to him when all eyes landed on her as soon as they entered the ballroom. In fact, he felt proud of her for being such a bell of the ball that he hyped her up whenever someone complimented her.
And while he was happy the way they were, the best of friends since kindergarten, somewhere along the way he started yearning for more. He wanted her to be looking at him, not at the other. He wanted to catch her whenever she needed, and be there for her no matter what. It took a while for him to realize he was jealous, but when Hiccup pointed it out after he shared it to him, it all unraveled from there.
It didn’t take Jack long to figure out that Eugene had a thing for Rapunzel too, and he had a feeling she knew as well with how she kept her distance. Though she was too kind to just simply leave him mid conversation. What followed after was Jack downing his champagne before marching in and taking Rapunzel away before Eugene or anyone else could stop him.
Rapunzel immediately knew what was up and turned their brisk walk into a jog, then into a full blown run as they escaped the ballroom and raced down the hall. She laughed when Jack still offered her the other glass of champagne he still held on, but drank it anyway as they giggled their way into the library.
Leaving their glasses behind by a table, the two wandered around as Rapunzel read the titles of the books from the shelves. Though it was more of an excuse, really, to keep her eyes from being glued to her best friend. She had a feeling that Jack felt… something more than friends for her, and him taking her away from Eugene only proved her suspicion even more.
She so badly wanted it to be true that she never let go of his hand as they walked around. It felt right for them to stay that way, and she didn’t want it to end just yet. Not after yearning for him for as long as she could remember. One reason she chose the dress she was wearing was to maybe seduce Jack a little. Make him want her more if ever her suspicions were true.
It was frustrating, you see, of being so close to him and yet so far. Sure they kiss each other on the cheek, and hug each other whenever they meet up, but it was all under the presumption of what best friends would do. She wanted to be his lover, and him to be hers, so she wasn’t all that surprised when her mind thought of something.
“I want to kiss you.” Rapunzel suddenly said when Jack asked her what book was she currently engrossed in.
“What?” He asked, his brain unable to comprehend what she said just yet.
“I…” a pause as she moved closer, pinning him by the shelves, “want to kiss you.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah, oh.”
“So may I?”
Jack held his breath as it dawned in him what was happening, and leaned his forehead on hers. Not trusting his impulsive mouth, he nodded his head as a blush crept up on his face. That was all Rapunzel needed before she dived in and held his face with both hands, cupping his cheeks, and kissing him with all she’s got.
Their teeth crashed, but they didn’t care. Not when it was finally happening after so long. When Rapunzel kissed him deep, Jack gave back the same energy, and maybe even more so as he bit her lower lip. This made her gasp, and he took the chance to taste her tongue with his, swirling and dancing it around in her mouth, making her delirious with how good it felt.
Rapunzel’s hands roamed down from his face, to his neck, then to grasping his suit to pull him back when he pulled away to catch his breath. She felt him smirk at their kiss, and god, god, it took everything in her to keep going despite wanting to pinch his cheeks. It was the little things he did that made her heart flutter, and she wasn’t sure if she wanted him to know that just yet.
Her dress’ sleeve slipped off her shoulder, but she never bothered to fix it. Instead, she leaned more into Jack as he lifted her up and turned around, using the shelves as another support to keep her up. A few books fell down, startling the two out of their wits. They stared at it, then at each other and giggled.
“I’m not done with you yet.” Jack said.
“Then keep going.” Rapunzel whispered so low that he might have not caught it if they weren’t this close. “Don’t stop until I say so.”
“Your wish,” Jack brushed his lips on her, “is my command.”
“That was so corny!”
“Yeah, well, you’d still kiss me anyway.”
And she did.

Maestro Hiccups 3: Chaos Incarnate Ch 63
You stare directly at the Collector. "Well, For starters, you can help by seeing if anything else gets affected by the Hiccups." You say. The Collector gives a salute "You got it!" He says, snapping his fingers and vanishing in a puff of smoke.
Kaylo looks at where the Collector was "Well, I suppose that I should go and be sure as well...It's only a matter of time before Those hiccups affect me too." She says, getting up from her knees, but not without her turning to you. "Although, In case you may need me, feel free to ring this bell, and I'll come right away." She said. You nod and pocket the bell as the Collector comes back
"There are a lot of worlds being transformed by the strange hiccups Balan has!" He says "I know. And they're only gonna get worse unless someone stops them." Kaylo says to him. "Well, Can I come along too? Maybe I can help in Wonderworld!" He says. "Alright, Maybe you can contain some of the chaotic magic." You say. The Collector's mouth turns into a smile "Yay! Let's go!" He shouts
"Hold on now, We still need to get Leo and Emma. They're still down there on earth." You say. The Collector gives his fingers a snap before you are all back outside in the twisted landscape, right in front of Leo, Emma and Jack, making them fall to the ground. Kaylo stared in shock at Jack "Jack?! What happened to you?! You look like that poor excuse of a rabbit!" She shouts.
"I think you can blame whatever it is doing this." Jack says, a teasing tone in his voice. "Oh it'll be alright Jack, Y/N actually knows the cause, and they're working on it!" Kaylo says. "Speaking of which, now that the game is over, we can get back to the theater and find the others!" Emma says. "Right. Let's get you back." Kaylo says, taking her scissors and opening a portal back to the Balan Theater. "Tell Balan and Lance I said hi!" She says cheerfully.
"What about you? Won't you get affected too?" You ask. The pink haired girl shrugs "Eh. I'll be alright, after all Things can only go up from here." She says. "We better get going." Leo says, hopping into the portal. "Alright. I'll see you around! Be careful!" Kaylo says as Emma, the Collector and you then jump inside, and land back at the Balan Theater.
To your horror, it had gotten WORSE during your little game with the Collector. The skies grew darker, as multi-patterned clouds swirled around the Isle of Tims. Meanwhile, the Isle didn't look much like an Isle any more, and resembled more of an abstract painting...that had been melting. "Oh that goodness. You have returned. And another of our world you have earned. A familiar voice said.
You turn to see Balan and Lance nearby, Lance holding what looked to be every form of lucky charm, while Balan was performing some kind of ritual. The Collector giggled at Balan's antics "Are you dancing?" He asked, floating upside down. Both of the maestro looked surprised at the Collector's appearance, as if they wasn't expecting the magical child to be in Wonderworld.
"Collector? How have you been? Our last meeting was way back when!" Lance says. "I wanted to see if I could help! I came with Y/N after our game of Hide and Seek!" He says. "Well then, I see. But that can wait, at least for me." Balan says. "I think it's time for us to find our next person." You say, pulling out the map.

Jack Frost Designs Review
Yes it’s finally his time. This is going to include his book designs including previous incarnations in said books. There are more movie concept designs than book so, let’s dig in shall we?
This was in fact the first ever Jack Joyce designed while he came up with The Guardians Of Childhood. He even comes with his own backstory! (Which was cut. Sorry Joyce posts walls of text so it’s a girthy read.)
So instead of a young mischievous trickster, we got a much more depressing story of Jack. (Jack by default is sad obviously) but this one... It kind of hits differently and almost reminds me of the story he crafted for Pitch. A dad who tried to defend his family but through tragic events was ripped from them and changed completely. Design wise, he’s a lot more tree than snow. There doesn’t exist a colored version of this so we’ll never know if he sported winter and dull dead leaf colors rather than grassy greens.This Jack has a weird presence to him, I can’t put my finger on it. Rating: 6/10 He’s really neat! Just a little too Autumn feeling rather than a blend of both Autumn and Winter.
Nightlight feels like the baby evolution if Jack was a pokemon and that's what I’m gonna stick with. Below is a more recent version of him colored.
In all honesty that one is easier on the eyes proportion wise because sometimes Joyce has ‘interesting’ anatomy choices but we aint going into that today. It’s interesting how his hair somehow looks shorter and longer than Jack’s at the same time. Could be because the longer strands float seamlessly but star boy hair physics what can ya do. It’s a little hard to tell what is his skin and what is his armor, so that is a casuality in making a character only have one or two colors in their color scheme. I love other artist’s depictions of Nightlight but the canon one feels a little weak color wise. Rating: 5/10 Sorry, get some better LEDs and then come back.
Here we have a book Jack but I can’t entirely recall if this was used in the books or not. I digress. This design looks like him still wearing very Nightlight-esque armor/clothing and slowly growing into his new persona as Jack Frost. The intricacies are hard to make out but we’ll work with it. This one is very interesting to me because he very much looks like an older teen close to young adult. His hair looks very fluffy too. Not many complaints about this one but not much praise either.
Rating: 6/10 Not great but doesn’t stand out that much.
Remember when I said Joyce had ‘interesting’ anatomy decisions? Jack looks like he has half a head here and it bothers me GREATLY. This is the adult Jack design he went with. Supposedly he likes the opera and he sure looks it. This! Exists!! Kind of wish it didn’t. The outfit is nice but it just doesn’t fit Jack as a whole. This just screams to me that it’s someone else with a similar-ish hairstyle.
Rating: 3/10 Guess he’d be the...Phantom Of The Opera. (I’ll go home and so should he.)
And finally the final Jack. This is the one that almost exactly resembles the Jack we got in the movies(Probably because it was made after the movie but w/e) but just add a cape on him. I can’t really tell if hes got a hoodie and a cape, or just a cloak+hood on top of a sweatshirt. It isn’t too important because my thoughts on this one are obvious. Rating: 10/10 Edna Mode would have a field day with you boy.
MOVIE DESIGN TIME
Joyce claims this is a design he drafted when Leonardo DiCaprio was considered to voice Jack and I can kind of see that with how his face is drawn here. This Jack looks a lot more like a warrior and less of that trickster look. I can’t say I’m a fan of the weird antenna his hood has but his sword is really cool looking.
Rating: 4/10 Nice bow and sword but it can’t save your fashion choices.
This looks like a lanky 11-13 year old who would put rocks or slugs in my shoes and relish in my disgust. He has the exact look of a snot nose kid and I’m unsure how to feel about it.
His various hairstyles drafted here sort of make him softer looking or just more of a snot nose, no in between. Maybe even an Anime Protagonist.
The top right one almost looks like Hiccup from How To Train Your Dragon if you squint. It’ll be a little hard to rate them all as one individual but why not.
Rating: 5/10 I don’t hate them but they aren’t my cup of tea.
AH- IS THAT A FUCKIN GREMLIN?
Oh wait no it isn’t he looks like a 10 year old. Whatever don’t feed him after midnight. The staff’s design of not being shaped like a G is an interesting tidbit but the whole design looks like he’s really young or like a troll etc. This Jack looks like he thinks girls have cooties uses outdated slang.
Rating: 4/10 This is me being generous.
It honestly looks like he hiked his pants up all the way to his chest. A late teen with horrid fashion choices once again. Not many other thoughts here.
Rating: 2/10 Get a sweater on or something.
This is one is very interesting looking to me. His clothes looked a lot more leather based and very human-like. The tatters, tears and frays all make him look like he was a victim of an accident that never changed his clothes. It makes me wonder if this Jack had the same death as the final movie Jack or something else entirely. Either way, this one looks like hes a mid to late teen which really adds to my intrigue.
This was another image that greatly resembled the design so I included it here. It almost looks like his skin is blue here which is pretty neat to me at least. He’s also got leaf motifs here, which from the first Jack design Joyce made, we can see a pattern here.
Rating: 8 /10 I was originally weirded out by his head but now its not so bad.
This Jack is definitely dressed more like a nature boy rather than him having human influenced fashion and it’s an appealing touch. The tiny leaf sprouting from his staff is also kind of cute since the designers seemed to want to put leafs somewhere on his designs. His hairstyle is also very cute but it reminds me of Sasuke Uchiha in a sense. (Not a setback for me at least)
Rating: 7/10 13 year old Jack is going thru a phase.
I thought this Jack didn’t show up again in story boards but I was wrong!
They look a little different from each other but just similar enough to pair together, so bare with me. The first one obviously has looser pants, slightly longer sleeves and got his leaf motif going. This second Jack is a VERY green. It gives the impression that this Jack made his clothes out of plants and natural materials. Again I’m not wholly sure if greens fit his color scheme but they sure went for it for a while. I can’t say I’m a fan of it because it heavily reminds me of Peter Pan.
However a very similar looking Jack could be found in this storyboard. It doesn’t look as green as the other storyboards made it out to be and looks more like dead grass. Which is a pretty nice touch.
Rating: 5/10 I don’t hate it but it just doesn’t vibe yknow.
Speaking of a vibe...hoo this certainly has one. This Jack isn’t old but certainly doesn’t look very young, maybe in the 20-30 range, thats just me. He has facial features that remind me of Pitch but resembles the Jack Frost of Santa Clause 3
That being said, I wondered if him looking similar to Pitch was in the storyline of them being brothers.(Which was a scrapped thing, who knew.) He’s a bit more menacing in this design but certainly seems like he relishes in his work.
Rating: 4/10 I’d make it a lower score but I gotta give it props
NOW THIS JACK IS KINDA INTERESTING. This one looks like he’s 16 and going through a grunge phase. He’s gonna play Nirvana loudly and not turn it down even if you tell him too. His staff itself has mini icicles hanging off of it and leafs look stuck to his shirt. Did you glue or staple those on Jack? His hair also looks much longer than his other designs and I kind of dig it( Shut up I’m bias.) I’m not wholly sure why else this design has stuck with me but it just has something about it that I just love. I wish there was a full body drawing of it.
(He also kinda has the same hair as the Jack Frost in Runescape but I wont go on about that hoo hoo)
Rating: 9/10 *Bad Boy by Cascada plays in the distance*
This one definitely feels like middleschooler trying to be in a band. His sticks just resemble drumsticks to me what can I say. I’m a big fan of his shoes and his color scheme screams a hibernating tree in winter. His hair also looks like it’s covered in frost rather than it being wholly white, which is very neat!! He looks like he wants to fight but has slight hesitance. Overall a very balanced Jack.
Rating: 8/10 He’s ready for band practice
Not many thoughts here, I just found these tiny Jack designs cute. His hoodie being a jacket instead just adds to the charm of this one.
No talk to him he angy.
Rating: 6/10 fun sized boi
Now this Jack resembles the one earlier that dressed entirely in leather brown colors, however he clearly is different than that one. I’m gonna say it, he looks like a zombie or undead in this design and its pretty fucking gnarly. I don’t know whats going on with his hair but I’m gonna assume it’s just the wind making it look like that. He just has the vibe that he was once human but was turned into something else entirely. It isnt in uncanny territory but borders that. This version of Jack meeting Pitch and the others would have been *very* interesting. Rating: 7/10 Eat a twinkie Jack you’ll feel better.
The final design! I can’t complain much about this one. The way his staff subtly has a G shape and a hexagon(his signature shape) is a wonderful touch. Additionally, the way the frost is gathered mostly where his hand is such an intricate detail. His signature hoodie is iconic at this point so I can’t bad mouth that either.(I can’t anyway because there's no complaints from me here.) Although, I never understood the leather straps that his pants had or their functions. I couldn’t find any colonial outfits that resembled Jack’s pants so its a total mystery to me at least.
And I can’t go on about this design until I mention the snowflake pattern in his eyes
Pure beauty. It’s at a hue of blue that almost looks impossible to have, combined with the electric blue color of the snowflake in his eyes. The amount of detail in this movie amazes me to this day. Rating: One Great Blizzard <3/10

A Small Problem - Part 2
Once again my inspiration comes from @deyageka
Word count: 1960
Syndicate Meeting
"Perhaps if we-" Phil was saying as Ranboo came into the meeting room, with Tommy right at his heels. It had been two months since they originally found him in the prison and Ranboo had volunteered to watch him that day, completely forgetting about the meeting. He knew he didn't have to come, but it was a good excuse to finally tell them about Tommy.
"Hi, sorry I'm late," Ranboo said awkwardly, knowing the other explanation that he would have to give.
"Hallo!" Tommy said cheerily, moving to stand next to Ranboo, some paper and coloring pigments in his arms.
"What the actual fuck," Phil said, he did a double take when he saw Tommy.
"Heh!?" Techno exclaimed, of all the things he expected, a young Tommy was not on the list. "How?! I thought you said he was dead."
"No, no, no, don't tell me that's Tommy," Niki said, shaking her head.
"Yes, he did die, but Dream revived him," Ranboo said, shifting from foot to foot, "I think that's what happened. Sam found him in the prison like this."
"So that's why you asked me, Tommy couldn't keep his mouth shut," Phil muttered, talking about when Ranboo asked about the old Empire. He knew Ghostbur wouldn't have remembered it, or else he would have mentioned it to him.
"I'm the Empire-er," Tommy went up to Techhno and held up a wooden sword, he also wore the paper crown he made. "Like you."
"Be quiet," Techno growled, Tommy backed away, this wasn't the Technoblade he remembered. The boy ran over to Ranboo and buried his head in his shirt. Ranboo could feel his shirt start to get wet as Tommy started to cry. What had he done wrong? Why was Techno mad at him?
"Oh my gosh, Tommy are you okay," Ranboo knelt down to Tommy's level, taking out a cloth so he wouldn't get wet from the boy's tears.
"Tech-no does-n't like me," Tommy sobbed, sniffling between words.
"Oh, I'm sure that's not true," Ranboo said, he looked back at Phil and Niki, silently asking them for help. "He's just surprised to see you."
"I just want Wilbur," Tommy said, his cries starting to die down and reduce to hiccups. "Sam pwomised he would find him."
"He doesn't know," Phil asked, at this age Tommy had idolized Techno and Wilbur. He followed Techno around everywhere and wanted to know everything about him.
"Know, what," Tommy sniffed, using his sleeve to wipe off mucus. "What don't I know?"
"A few months ago," Phil came over and crouched in front of Tommy. "Something happened and-"
"It might be better to find Gho-Wilbur first to tell him," Techno said, the voices had been telling him one of two things. To protect Tommy as all costs, or to kill Tommy for being an orphan. "Who's watching him? Or is he an orphan?"
"I- uh- Sam is mainly taking care of him, so no, he's not an orphan," Ranboo stuttered, knowing a bit of Techno's history with orphans.
"I mean last time I checked I wasn't fucking dead," Phil chuckled, Niki started giggling.
"So what's the plan for today," Ranboo asked, he picked up Tommy as the boy kept pulling on his shirt.
"We're going to do some recon on the Egg," Techno said, "Phil received an invitation to some banquet so we're going to check it out beforehand."
"So I probably shouldn't have brought him," Ranboo said, talking about Tommy as he started to nod off.
"Can't we take him to Snowchester," Phil said, subtly asking if Tommy could stay with Micheal.
"I don't know, Tubbo's not going to be there for a while. He and Jack are busy doing something," Ranboo didn't know what it was there were doing, but it seemed important to Tubbo. And he didn't want Sam to get mad at him for leaving Tommy alone for a little bit.
"He'll be fine alone," Phil said, "We used to do that all the time when he was originally this age."
"You are a terrible parent," Ranboo said.
"Okay mate," Phil rolled his eyes, "you can't be speaking here. Especially not about that shit."
"I wanna stay here," Tommy piped in.
"We could talk to Puffy on our way," Techno said.
"Auntie Puffy!" Tommy said excitedly, bouncing in Ranboo's arms. At the mention of Puffy he had brightened up and got energetic again.
"I guess we have our answer then," Niki laughed.
"Are you good to stay here by yourself for a bit," Ranboo asked. Tommy shook his head and pointed at Niki, she seemed nice.
"Huh, he didn't mind staying home when I took care of him," Phil said.
"Well we think he might have vague memories of what happened in his past," Ranboo lowered his voice and put Tommy down to let him walk over to Niki. "Sometimes he'll just freeze when coming near lava or even a Nether Portal. We've noticed that most of the time he hates being alone."
"I want to stay wif you," Tommy said to Niki.
"I don't know, Puffy and I don't have the greatest history," Niki said, then looked down at Tommy's face as he started to pout. "But I can't say no to you. You are absolutely adorable. Okay, just this once."
"Go now," Tommy waved at them as he sat in the chair next to Niki.
"He does that alot," Ranboo chuckled, "see you later, Tommy."
"Okay Ranboo," Tommy pulled out Clementine from his inventory and made airplane noises as he moved it in the air. Ranboo, Techno, and Philza left the meeting room as Niki laughed with Tommy.
"I haven't seen him like that since," Phil started but trailed off.
"Well of course not, he's a little kid again," Ranboo said.
"Pogtopia," Techno finished for Phil, "he has that light in his eyes again. I remember when we were building that big obnoxious tower, but it made him happy."
"How long had Tommy been with you," Ranboo asked.
"I found him when he was four or five," Phil said, "Wilbur is my only biological son. I adopted Tubbo when he was five as well."
"It's still weird seeing Tommy at that age again," Techno said.
"Yeah, I can't imagine how much of a shock it was when I brought him in there," Ranboo said, he should have thought about it beforehand.
"Oh we were surprised for sure," Philza laughed.
After the trip through the Nether to the community portal they found Bad, Ant, and Punz waiting right outside of the portal. How were they supposed to tell Puffy now?
"Hello, Philza," Punz said, "I didn't think you'd only have two people coming with you."
"Our fourth member is on her way," Techno said, "don't try and threaten us. We have all the power here."
"Ranboo, go talk to Puffy," Phil whispered to him. "Gentlemen, there's no need to fight. We were just curious about the meaning of this invitation I received."
"Ah yes, the banquet," Ant said, "the egg has realized it over stepped a bit, so we've been cleaning up some of the vines and are holding a festival of sorts as a formal apology to the server. You are all invited, we just wanted Phil as a guest of honor."
"Well I'm pretty sure the last time I went to a festival, it didn't turn out well," Techno chuckled, but the voices had raised a good question. Why Phil?
"We swear it won't end like those," Bad said, "I mean we aren't L'Manburg after all."
"Maybe Techno would be more convinced if we saw this change ourselves," Phil said as he spotted Puffy coming towards them, then messaged Niki. Ranboo rejoined the group.
"Of course," Bad said turning around, allowing Puffy to go around them then enter the Nether.
"So uh, where's Skeppy," Ranboo asked, he'd heard from Sam that he had also been infected. "I haven't seen him around recently."
"We don't know," Punz said, "haven't seen him in a while."
"So when you say everyone is invited, who does this include," Phil asked, if they invited the whole server this could be a problem. Tommy couldn't just be left alone for a few hours, but the last thing they wanted was to take him near the Egg.
"Well everyone, except for Dream of course," Bad said, "but alot have said they'll be busy and unable to make it." They walked along the prime path where huge vines used to be, it appeared that they had been cleaned up. Soon Niki caught up with then.
"So what's going on," She asked, holding a cheerful expression to disguise the fact they were hiding something.
"We were just telling them about the banquet," Bad said, "you're coming, right Niki?"
"Of course, I wouldn't miss it," She said.
Something about the banquet and how similar it was to the L'Manburg festivals didn't sit right with Techno. To make matters worse he had just received a message from Quackity.
"I have to do something, you guys can fill me in when we get back," Techno said, he noticed Phil's questioning expression. "Don't worry it has nothing to do with my favor."
"See you later Techno," Ranboo said, he had been wondering the same thing but didn't want to say anything.
"Yeah, I'll say hi to the kid for you," Techno said. It was a throw away comment, but it seemed to interest Bad.
"Kid?" He asked, after checking that Techno was out of hearing range Ranboo responded with: "Yeah, me and Tubbo adopted."
"Oh, you mean Michael," Bad said, he'd heard about the young zombie piglin.
"We were going to Snowchester afterwards," Phil said, easily going along with Ranboo's lie.
"Yeah! You know, every member is important," Niki said, she had no idea who they were talking about, but she could use what they had said to play along.
“Well we should probably let you guys do that,” Bad said, he wasn’t sure if it was time to show them the Egg. No, it wasn’t, they had enough evidence from them to go to the banquet.
“Yes, you’re right,” Ranboo was getting uneasy, he didn’t like anything about the Egg or the Eggpire.
“See you the 25th!”

yay yay to wet weekends!! one thing i haven’t stopped thinking about lately is the idea of Sid being on a long roadie and calling/facetiming each other just to get off (maybe after a good game or randomly) because you’re both desperate but i can see it being sooo hot and yeah that’s that
warnings: nsfw (18+) light smut, sexual and suggestive themes, facetime sesh and toys!!
The two of you have been agonizingly quiet since Sidney finally got into bed after his evening shower. It had been a back to back loss in New York, having faced the Rangers, and he just couldn’t stand the thought of getting another once they play the Islanders tomorrow.
You rub your eyes, not wanting to fall asleep. Almost a week has gone since you last saw him and having to endure Sidney being away on the road has always been tougher for you than you’d ever admit.
“How was your day?”, asked Sid.
Despite being in a sour mood, you appreciate how he still doesn’t miss on the little things. You give him a smile in acknowledgment.
A tad sleepy, you tell him how your day went about. It was the middle of your term; almost nearing your finals actually. The week where all assessments are flowing into your mail endlessly to be exact. Some were reports— case reviews, court procedures, heavy readings, and all that goes under being in law school. You even remember that you have to practice for another mock session you were about to have as your final exam.
“Rough night, huh? Is there anything you want me to do?” you genuinely ask him, turning to Sidney’s side of the bed— absentmindedly running your hand through it. You miss him. It’s plain obvious.
“Nah. I’m good, baby.” he declines with a smile. You choosing to stay up late for him was already enough.
“I just can’t wait to come home. This series is taking too much from the team.” he frets.
You let out a sigh, “I know you’ll pull through babe. You boys always have. Just think of it as like... a minor hiccup. A fluke, maybe?” you say, trying to make him feel better.
“Thanks, hon.” he smiles, a tired one however.
You fall silent once again, just in the calm of seeing each other on the screen when a thought hits you.
You perk up slightly, resting your back on the headboard, “Hey,” you softly call.
“Hm?” Sid hums, massaging his temples.
“You remember the black box I gave you for valentines?” you ask.
Sidney mutters a soft ‘yeah’ on the other line.
“Well, I kind of snuck it in your suitcase.” you inform him. You prop your back with a pillow, biting on your lower lip as you send him the subtle insinuation. “You wanna?”
Sid immediately answers, his tired voice now emptied and gone, “Right now?”
You nod casually, evidently surprising the fairly old-school fella. “It’s been a pretty rough day for the both of us.” you add.
He’s flustered, but with furrowed brows he still finds the need to ask, “How– how are we even gonna do... it?”
A mischievous smile escapes your lips, “Wait a second.” you tell him as you hurriedly go over one of the dressers to get your half of the battery operated toy.
Sid on the other end was now rummaging through his luggage. Most of his stuff was safely put away and hung in the closet of his hotel room so he didn’t have much of a hard time spotting the black box you were talking about. He also took with him the lube that was tucked under one of the compartments.
Sidney can’t help but shake his head with a faint grin upon seeing how you managed to discreetly place such things exclusively for him. Well, not that anyone would dare look into his things but it was nice to think that you knew him well enough and surprise him.
Sidney got under the covers first. “Babe?” he calls when he sees nothing but the white ceiling of your shared bedroom back in Pittsburgh.
He hears a distant ‘Coming!’ on your end so he waits patiently for you to get back on screen.
Once you do, Sidney’s mouth falls agape as he sees you out of your former nightwear. “You didn’t have to change for this, y/n.” he explicitly says despite the obvious bobbing of his throat.
“Relax. I’m gonna take it off anyway.” you wink, coaxing him as you get comfortable on the captain’s bed.
You proceed on teaching him the basics since Sidney’s - well, pretty conventional to say the least. He has you to thank for getting him into new things such as this. You orient him on how the toys work and how it is connected with the toy you have with you at home. That said, the two of you would basically feel each other’s strokes and pulsations as you delve into your long distance affair.
You were about to take your brassiere off when Sid stops you the minute your hand reaches to unclasp the material on your back, “Don’t take it off.” he says.
“Why?” puzzled, you ask him nonetheless.
“It’s just that - you know how the internet works.” Sidney hushes.
You let out a laugh, a cackle even. “You’re really bothered about the FBI catching an NHL star jack off to his girlfriend, aren’t you?”
Sid rolls his eyes and dismisses your notion. “It’s not the FBI I worry about. We’ll never know. I just don’t want a perverted hacker to catch what I got on my screen.”
“You do know that there’s always ways to deal with that right?” you say, foolishly finding Sidney being his usual self more alluring than when he tries to be sexy.
“Will you please stop lawyering your way into this?” he chuckles in defeat, scratching his temple. “Just keep ‘em on. Besides, I like that color on you.”
You roll your eyes, “Fine.” You fix your number so he could see more of you on the screen despite still being covered. “Now, may we proceed?”
Sidney bites his lip, “We may, your honor.”
He adjusts himself to get out of his boxer shorts. He squeezes a generous amount of lube into the toy waiting for you to do the same on the other end. You let Sidney watch you fill your fingers with your spit whilst you look at him enticingly; eager to have his skin next to yours. However, given the circumstances that come with being with him, a night like this shall suffice.
“You’re a fucking torture,” he groans; one that’s effortlessly made your belly flutter as if Sidney’s muffled noises were enough to wake all your sleeping senses.
With tired eyes you tell him one thing as the two of you slip on your devices, meeting in between your own ends in the hopes of coming close to what it’s like holding each other, “So are you, Mr. Crosby.”
it’s wet weekends!

Do you have any good Danny Phantom fic recs?
I don’t usually make recs, but since I’ve been binge reading through the Phandom here lately I have a few! I’ll put them and their summaries underneath the Keep Reading <3
Also far warning there is no rhyme or reason to how I’m listing them
Little Lion King by Floralflowerpower andTheOnlyWife @floralflowerpower (incomplete)
A ghost king AU where Danny is an all-powerful ruler/ beloved king and hero who is terrified that his people would hate him if they found out he was a halfa. (Beta for this Phic is Theonlywife)
I am absolutely obsessed with the Little Lion King at the moment! I’ve read through all the available chapters twice now XD I plan to reread it again soon!
The Haunting Murders of Bristol Mansion by Pqrker
"No, no, it's fine, it's just...What if we convince them I don't believe in ghosts in the first place?"
Sam stared at Danny like he was crazy.
"That is the stupidest idea I have ever heard."
or
danny pretends not to believe in ghosts in a last-ditch effort to conceal his identity, while sam and tucker film it all
do not stand at my grave and cry (i am not there, i did not die) by Blueh
“I just—” he hiccups down his ghost sense but feels the cool burning sensation crawl up his throat anyways. He has just enough time to throw a hand over his mouth to cover the blue mist, and sends a desperate look at the clock. There’s still five minutes left in class. He stands up anyways. “I have to go.”
“You have to go?” Sam says. Danny hears the accusation in her voice loud and clear. “Again?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Sorry isn’t enough, Danny! You keep—you keep leaving us! You’re pushing us away!”
His tongue feels like lead and he knows, even if he wants to, he can’t tell them. He can't. So instead, he doesn’t meet her eyes, takes one step back, and repeats, “I’m sorry.”
Sometimes, it feels like it’s the only word he can say these days.
Or: When Danny goes down to the lab and enters that portal at fourteen years old, he goes down alone. This changes things.
A Grave Error by thatgirl_youknowtheone @lucifer-is-a-bag-of-dicks
A fluorescent green gaze pierced through him from the rearview mirror. As much as the eye contact sent chills down Dale's spine, he didn't want to look away. Some primal part of his brain was much more comfortable keeping his eyes firmly planted on the predator in the back seat of the police car.
"Why won't he leave?" Dale whispered to his partner, the woman grit her teeth.
"I don't know, but I'm not the idiot who decided to fucking arrest him."
Connections by Lynse @ladylynse
Maddie knows that the Booo-merang has keyed into Danny, for whatever reason, so what's she to think when she sees it collide with Phantom?
Confessions (Connections Sequal) by Lynse
Follows Connections. Danny's secret's not as safe as he thinks, what with Maddie unable to ignore her wild suspicions any longer and piecing things together and Jack asking questions all on his own.
Shift by Lynse
Maddie’s capture of the phantom was routine—until she saw the shift in colour that meant it suddenly, horribly, wasn’t.
Revision (Shifts optional sequal) by Lynse (Not complete)
Maddie can’t deny it any longer. If ectoplasm can become blood, there’s more to this story than she ever realized.
Third Time’s the AU by KatWithTheGlasses
It started with one wrong move, and Phantom ended up hurt. Secrets are revealed and maybe things can move towards a better future.
A series of one-shots and small fics in which Phantom is revealed to his parents, and everything that happens after.
Maddie Learns That her Son Is Dead (Well, Not Fully, But Still) by GhostWriterGirl1
In where Maddie first notices her son's slightly ghostly features, and learns just how ghostly Danny has become. Warning: Lots of feels and angst in the last two entries, so get the tissues.
Danny the ViewTuber by ZombieMerlin

Nice to meet you, where you been?
Chapter 2 of In Breakable Heaven!
Summary: Reader becomes acquainted with some members of the BAU.
Warnings: none that I can think of!
Word Count: ~1900
Penny came back out to the foyer, handing you the oversized t-shirt and shorts you left here last time you slept over. You pulled them on quickly, following Penny to the living room where you instantly realized, it was more than just you, Penny, and the tall man in the apartment. You stopped moving as you took in the additional new faces. You had never met Penny’s team before, but she had talked about them a ton. You blushed again thinking of how you must look a mess right now.
“Everyone, this is Y/N! She is my very best friend and she is very sad so we are going to cheer her up.” Penny started the introductions. “Y/N, this is Derek Morgan, Jennifer Jareau aka JJ, and Emily Prentiss.” You took in the names as Penny went around the room. Eyes bouncing between a very muscular bald man and two of the most attractive women you’ve ever seen. “Oh, and for a more formal introduction, this is Dr. Spencer Reid, although you two met at the door.” Your eyes attempted to meet his again, but he was staring at the ground. You couldn’t help the whisper that escaped your lips “Doctor.”
Either the profilers didn’t hear it, or chose to ignore it, along with the blush forming on your cheeks yet again. You looked around the room again and couldn’t stop yourself from speaking your thoughts. “God, is it a requirement to be hot as hell to work for the FBI?” Everyone laughed as you threw your hand over your mouth, eyes widening. “Oh God. That’s embarrassing. It’s true though, what a good looking team.” That earned more laughter form the group.
It was clear they were all wondering why you had just sobbed into their coworkers adorable sweater vest. You waited a beat hoping someone would say something. But since they were all staring at you, and you hate awkward silences, you couldn’t help but blurt out “today was my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend,” Not noticing the slight frown appear on Spencer’s face, you continued “but I went over to his place and found him in bed with another woman. So now I am very drunk.” Their faces all softened, offering slight words of encouragement as you sunk into the sofa and picked up the bottle of white wine from the table. Not even bothering with a glass, you started drinking again. You drank nearly half the bottle before taking a breath.
“Woah” you heard someone say, but honestly you didn’t know who. “Why don’t we play a game or something? Maybe switch to water so you don’t completely hate yourself tomorrow?” You realized it was JJ talking. “I am always down – hiccup – for a game. I must warn you, I am extremely competitive though. Plus, I don’t get hungover so I’ll be fine.” You looked at their disbelieving faces. “Fine” you muttered, annoyed at having to explain this again, “I’ll switch to water for a bit. But only because I want to win.”
Penny went to get the cards, confirming your statement “Y/N is right ya know. She has never been hungover. I’ve seen her drink countless tequila shots, chase them each with a wine cooler and clean her entire apartment before 8 AM the next day.”
“Impressive.” Derek smirked as he looked at you.
“What can I say? It really boosts my productivity.” The room chuckled as the hot doctor chimed in.
“Your liver is responsible for breaking down all the alcohol you consume into an enzyme called acetaldehyde, the toxin responsible for hangovers. Recent studies have shown about 23% of people are able to break down the acetaldehyde much faster resulting in little to no hangover symptoms. Whether or not you experience hangovers is based 45% on genetics.” You looked over to him, wildly impressed with the first words you’ve heard him say.
“What’s the other 55% based on?” You asked, intrigued to finally know why you don’t actually experience hangovers. He looked surprised as he met your eyes for the first time since you entered the room.
“It’s actually a mixture of volume of alcohol, water, and food consumption.” You chuckled as he said this.
“Well, it must be genetics for me because there are a few times I remember making very bad choices…” You felt the thought slip away as Dr. Spencer Reid smiled at you.
“How can she even do simple math right now? Based on the story she’s had 10 drinks in the last 3 hours?” Emily whispered to JJ and Derek. They exchanged glances as Penny finally sat back down with the cards.
“What should we play?” She asked the room, but mostly you. You could already feel your competitive edge creeping in as you tore your eyes from Spencer’s to suggest one of your favorite group games. “Egyptian Rat Screw!” It should be especially fun since you were all drinking. Nobody seemed to know the game though, so you quickly explained the rules as you took the cards to shuffle and deal.
“Remember, whoever gets all the cards wins. Slap sandwiches and doubles. Royals have the special rules we just talked about. If you slap and there’s nothing there, you have to put a card in the bottom of the pile.” You said as everyone got situated around the table unsure what to expect. “Ready?” you asked, a mischievous grin on your face.
--
After winning the first two games you couldn’t help but tease everyone “I am definitely the drunkest one here. I thought a group of FBI agents would have better reaction times!” You giggled as everyone laughed along with you. You dealt the cards into five piles, one for each agent. “No cards for you?” Derek asked. “Nope.” You popped the “p” as you took in their confused faces. “I’m going to start with no cards and see if I still win.” There was a clear competitive glint in your eyes, with a matching smirk. They seemed disbelieving that you would pull out another win, but continued along with the game.
You hadn’t even tried slapping the table until there was only Spencer and Derek left with cards. Emily, JJ, and Penelope were chatting aimlessly, having lost interest a few minutes ago. You sat up and stared at the ever growing pile of cards. The whole game was basically memorizing the order of cards, or at least the general timeline. You knew as soon as Derek played his jack, Spencer would follow with an identical card. As you spotted the first jack hit the pile, Derek taunted Spencer “Haha pretty boy, one chance to get a royal or I’m pulling in the big pile.” The two of them seemed to have forgotten that you could get back in the game. Spencer smiled as he flipped over what you knew to be a jack. It was clear from the smirk on his face he knew it was a jack as well. What he didn’t count on was your cat-like reflexes slapping the pile before he could finish laughing at Derek’s sad face.
The two of them looked shocked as you picked up the cards, readying them for the next set of flipping. “Damn girl, I thought you forgot how to play.” Derek laughed at the smug grin you were wearing. He only had two cards left. Easily knocking Derek from the game, he joined the side conversation being had in the kitchen as he resigned to another round lost. You turned to Spencer, almost whispering “Looks like it’s just you and me, Doctor.” Spencer looked up from his cards stating, “you sound pretty confident considering your opponent has an eidetic memory and knows the exact order of both our hands.” You stuck your tongue out as you placed your first card. “Not fair.”
Minutes passed as the game drew on, neither player really making an advance. You yawned as you flipped another card onto the table, losing focus for just a second. Reid recognized the pattern emerging, getting ready to slap after your next card. You forgot to look at the potential for a sandwich, playing your next card. You noticed it a second to late as you slapped your hand down. Spencer beat you too it though, and when your hand landed it was on top of his. You didn’t move at first, shocked to have lost so many cards at once. Spencer was gloating as you picked up his hand and put it on top of yours.
He finally looked down to see you pulling the cards toward you before jumping up to get them back. You held the cards close to your heart, faking the offense you felt at his suggestion that you would cheat, despite your very obvious cheating. When he reached for the cards, you backed up into the couch, holding them above your head. He knelt over you, leaning forward to reach your outstretched hand, forgetting for just a second that he really didn’t know you at all and being this close should make him uncomfortable.
You shrieked as he tickled your sides to pull the cards in. He was gloating yet again as he pulled them from your grasp, not realizing how close the two of you had become. The two of you froze yet again as you felt that same magnetic force as earlier pulling you closer as you looked into his eyes. He cleared his through as he sat up, returning to his seat to finish the game.
The two of you continued the game until you only had a few cards left. “It appears as though your winning streak is quickly coming to an end.” Spencer joked with you, playing a queen. He was clearly trying to ease whatever tension was lingering from your couch experience. You glanced at the cards in the middle of the table. It must have been 45 cards in the pile. You switched tactics to playing the cards as quick as possible to prevent another mistake.
A queen meant playing two cards in a row. You knew you had two sevens in a row in your hand, so you were ready to take him down. You glanced up stating “Rule 1: The Doctor lies.” You stated matter-of-factly as you flipped over your first seven. “Oh, and don’t blink.” You said, playing the second and slapping it before he finished comprehending your two Doctor Who references. You just had an instinctual feeling that Doctor Who would distract him.
You finished the game with relative ease as the others made their way back into the room. You celebrated as you took the rest of his cards, completing the game and adding another tally to the mental scoreboard you had in your head. As everyone sat back down, you put the cards away. It was now 12:30 in the morning and suddenly you were exhausted. You rose from your seat, putting your coat back on your shoulders. “I should go home” you said, earning stares from everyone.
“You are completely welcome to stay the night here!” Penelope said as you continued preparing to leave.
“Thank you, Penelope, but I already feel so much better.” You chanced a glance at Spencer to see him staring right back. “I want to go home and lay in my bed and throw all his stuff out the window. Plus I could really use some fresh air right now.” Everyone started to verbally object now. Sometimes you forgot what Penelope does for a living and how much she’s seen. “No really, I’ll be fine.” You continued, “I live in The City Block, it’s only half a mile from here!” This did nothing to satisfy the worried looks on the five faces staring back at you.
“That’s on the way to my building.” Spencer stated. “I’ll walk with you, okay?” You looked up, surprised. Slowly a small smile appeared on your face. “Okay.” Somehow that was all you could manage. Everyone said their goodbyes as you and Spencer made your way out of the apartment and started walking down the street.

HiJack AU - How to Train Your Dragon Plotbunnies
Don’t be confused by the Gifs lol. In this AU, Jack maintains his brown hair.
Previous
Once the others started seeing Hiccup in a new light (because of the tricks) it pisses off Jack to no end that even Snotlout is getting chummy. Mostly because he couldn’t go about hitting him or making jokes on his expense when he was actually being nice for once, even if it had been a conditional thing.
Jack wasn’t one to make the first hit, after all. If he messed with Snotlout every time he wanted it would make him no better than the bully. So he maintained pulling pranks on the guy when, and only when, he picks on Hiccup... Which didn’t happen often, since Hiccup started applying what they’ve learn from Toothless during training.
Jack helps Hiccup give the villagers the slip when he starts getting famous then meets him and Toothless later at the lake.
On one part, Jack is glad the villagers finally see Hiccup being great. He's just sad that's it's based on a lie and even Hiccup doesn't like how much it escalated his reputation. It's also to Jack's ire that their approval of Hiccup is so conditional and based on traditions.
At Hiccup’s first test flight with Toothless, Jack wasn’t around because he needed to watch the sheep and town children. (Also, the moment really is to further help cement the bond of Hiccup and Toothless. Jack may be inserted in this AU for self-indulgence purposes, but it would still be maintained as Hiccup’s story with Toothless)
Hiccup was going to leave with Toothless which made Jack angry when he found out.
Jack was the one who attempted to show everyone in the village that dragons weren't so bad, because he knew the alternative would be Hiccup doing it. And he couldn't risk that.
Hiccup came clean that it was his doing but Stoick maintained that it was possibly due to Jack's influence.
Jack was sent away from living at the Haddock household, with Stoick informing Hiccup that when Trader Johanne/Aster/North docks in, Jack will be no longer allowed to return to Berk so they would have to find another place for him to settle in, much to Hiccup's and Gobber's dismay.
Luckily, that never had to happen.
Jack sneaks into the ship Toothless gets trapped in hopes of freeing the dragon when he gets the chance although he had no idea what to do to fly out since he wasn't an expert in it as Hiccup was.
A Viking caught him and he was later put into the brig.
Similar to the movie, Astrid is the one who talks Hiccup into thinking of how to fix things.
Fishlegs comes running in to tell them that he saw Jack sneaking into Stoick's ship earlier.
And that further gave him the resolve to act.
When the ship sinks, Jack sinks along with Toothless. Despite his rising fear, he dives down further to try and release the dragon. When he starts losing consciousness, Hiccup swims him back to the surface while Stoick goes to free Toothless.
Astrid usually hangs with them, Jack was still her sparring partner hand-to-hand. But now, she competes with Hiccup in Dragon-related specific ventures.
Conversations/Interactions:
[Scene cuts to the Arena, in the middle of a training session]
Hiccup: You know, I just happened to notice the book had nothing on Night Furies. Is there another book? Or a sequel? Maybe a little Night Fury pamphlet?
[A Nadder fires at him, only missing with Jack pushing him down and out of the way.]
Hicup: WHOA!
Jack: Maybe not right now, Hic?
Gobber: Focus Hiccup! You're not even trying!
[Gobber focuses to the ring, Jack stands by, protected behind the gates of the dugout of the arena with his cooling Salve ready and extra buckets of water filled if needed.]
Gobber: Today is about teamwork. Now, a wet dragon head can't light its fire. The Hideous Zippleback is extra tricky. One head breathes gas, the other head lights it. Your job is to know which is which.
Fishlegs: Razor sharp, serrated teeth that inject venom for pre-digestion. Prefers ambush attack, by crushing its victims--
Hiccup: [On edge] Will you please stop that?!
[Astrid punches Snotlout in the face, and Ruffnut throws her bucket at Tuffnut, who is then dragged into the wall of smoke.]
Astrid: Wait.
[A dragon tail knocks them off their feet]
Tuffnut: *running out of the mist, screaming and running to his retreat blindly* OH, I'M HURT! I AM VERY MUCH HURT!
Jack: I got him. Tuff! This way, tch! Follow the sound of my voice! That’s the damn opposite way to my voice, you idiot!
Fishlegs: Chances of survival are dwindling into single-digits now.
[One of the Zippleback heads emerges from the mist. Fishlegs throws water at its face, and it angrily spews out some green gas.]
Fishlegs: Oh. Wrong head.
[The head sprays a large stream of green gas, and Fishlegs runs off screaming. The head turns its attention to Hiccup and the other head comes into view, spitting electrical sparks]
Gobber: Fishlegs! Now, Hiccup!
[Hiccup throws the bucket of water at the spark-spitting head, but it literally falls short of the dragon head]
Hiccup: Oh, come on!
Jack: YOU HAD ONE JOB HIC!
[Hiccup rides Toothless, tugging the prosthetic tail fin with a rope to change its position. The wind blows at them and they tumble backwards]
[Toothless crashes into a field of Dragon Nip and rolls in it comfortably.]
Hiccup (cont.): Whoa! [holds up Dragon Nip]
[Everybody is gathered around another bonfire night. Gobber looking at Jack who had a minor sprain on his ankle after a particularly failing attempt teaching Toothless how to fly]
Gobber: Tell me again how ya got that leg busted up?
Jack: Fell off the roof checking on a repair at Trader Johanne/Aster/North’s shop.
[Jack says this as he continues making more of his cooling salve, his leg propped up on a stool. Gobber rolled his eyes, shaking his head. Hiccup’s taking notes in the side on what not to do one his next tail design. This scene would be part of one of the clips in the montage.]
[Scene cuts to Hiccup still holding up the Dragon Nip, but at the Arena]
[Hiccup grounds a Gronckle during training by rubbing Dragon Nip on its nose.]
Fishlegs: What was that? Some kind of trick? What did you do?
Tuffnut: How'd you do that?
Ruffnut: It was really cool.
Fishlegs: Hey, Hiccup!
Snotlout: Hey, Hiccup, I've never seen a Gronckle do that before!
Jack: Uh, I forgot my Salve ingredients. Hiccup, come with me. *Takes Hiccup by the arms and starts walking backwards to the arena* You guys go on ahead.
Hiccup: What he said. We’ll, uh, catch up with you at bonfire tonight.
Astrid: *Scowling in suspicion*
[Hiccup and Jack later exits the Arena when the coast was clear]
Phlegma: Congratulations, Stoick! Everyone is so relieved.
Starkard: Out with the old and in with the new, right?!
Hoark the Haggard: No one will miss that old nuisance!
Ack: The village is throwing a party to celebrate!
Stoick: He's gone?
Gobber: Yeah... most afternoons with Jack. But who can blame him? I mean the life of a celebrity's very rough.
Stoick: Hiccup?
Gobber: Who would've thought, eh? He and Jack are getting closer than ever because of it, guess he’s the only one not smothering him. That said, I should probably tell you something about Jack...
Stoick: Are we really talking about Hiccup here? He’s doing well in training?
Gobber: You could say so. *shrugging* He has this way with the beasts. Never seen anything like it before.
[Hiccup gets approved as the most astounding trainee by the village elder, much to Stoick’s pride]
Gobber: You've done it! You've done it, Hiccup! You get to kill the dragon!
Stoick: Ha, ha! That's my boy!
Jack: Er yeah, way to go. Woo~ *Claps half-heartedly in celebration with the rest of the Viking teens as some of the other Vikings celebrate inside the ring with Hiccup* So fun...
Hiccup: [Sarcastically] Heh. Oh, yeah! Yes! I can't wait. I am so...
[Scene cuts to at the cove]
Hiccup: ...LEAVING! We're leaving. Let's pack up. Looks like you and me are taking a little vacation, forever. Ah, man...
Jack: And what makes you think I’m letting you leave without me, Hic?
Hiccup: Gah! Jack? How long have you been here?
Jack: I got here while you were busy hearing everyone sing your praises. *Hops down the rock* And if you’re running away, I’m going with you.
[After arguing about it for awhile (I don’t write angst well, and I kinda consider arguements as part of that) Hiccup finally relents to having Jack come along]
Hiccup: Well... I guess having you along for the ride wouldn’t be the worse thing. It’d be good to talk to someone who has a wider vocabulary than snarls and growls.
Jack: Whoa, wait... We’re flying out of here?
Hiccup: *Stares at Jack incredulously* Well, we can’t take a damn boat out of here.
Jack: We could... Like, if we sneak out at the dead of night and we commandeered it. Toothless is kinda dark, he wouldn’t be seen..
Hiccup: More complicated. I thought you were aquaphobic. You never mentioned being acrophobic, too.
Jack: Never thought it was an issue that would come up. *In deadpan* You know, people by nature not really big in the whole ‘flying’ thing. Not to mention, the first time we rode Toothless together, I ended up spraining my ankle.
Jack: That. And I honestly don’t think he likes me as much as you.
Hiccup: That was one time. He’s mellowed out since the first few times. C’mon, just trust me.
Hiccup: And you dismounted too soon. More like jumped off, really.
[Toothless likes it every time Hiccup takes him flying. As Jack said humans not big on the whole flying thing by nature, dragons don’t have a penchant for remaining grounded for long periods of time. Thinking it was just another one of their flight sessions, he went all out with speed, spinning, and diving in and out of the sea]
Hiccup: Toothless! The idea is to make Jack less hysteric!
[Toothless responded by doing a quick loopty-loop above the clouds with Jack screaming and hanging on to Hiccup for dear life, his legs hooking around the shorter boy’s waist]
Hiccup: Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile...
Jack: Of course! Mellowed! Perfect, just lovely, Hic! So glad I trusted you!
[When Toothless finally reached the ‘mellow’ stage Hiccup’s talking about, he shows them a good view of the sunset before taking them up to the Auroras and starry night]
Jack: Okay, now I could get use to this. *He untangles himself from Hiccup* Guess you cured me out of the acrophobia.
Hiccup: Well, that was quicker than with your aquaphobia. But I’m glad. It is amazing, isn’t it?
Jack: Not as amazing as you.
Hiccup: Eh. I try.
Jack: No, Hic. I mean it, you really are amazing. Your heart’s always been in the right place. Berk’s not home to me because I’m stuck living there; you’ve made it home to me. It’s one of the things I love about you.
Hiccup: Yeah, well... Wait. What?
Jack: You heard me.
[Before Hiccup could reply, Toothless started to make a sudden turn and brings them to dragon island. They found about the gigantic dragon and now Hiccup can’t run away out of good conscience.]
Jack: So, what are we going to do? Tell them?
Hiccup: No, no. They’ll find out about Toothless. We can’t tell them. They’d hurt him.
Jack: So then what? Everyone’s going to expect you to kill a dragon tomorrow. I don’t think that’s any less cruel an alternative than everyone hurting Toothless.
Hiccup: I know, I know. Just... Just give till tomorrow. I’ll figure something out
Jack: *Looks unconvinced, but he relents* Okay Hic, if you say so. I just want you to remember one thing, no matter what happens tomorrow.
Hiccup: What?
[Jack proceeds to kiss Hiccup quickly before running off first into the forest and back towards the village. In a daze, Hiccup watches after him before a small smile starts to break out. Momentarily, Toothless appears beside him, looking at him in puzzlement. Hiccup scowls at the dragon, embarrassed]
Hiccup: What are you looking at?
[The next day at the dragon ring, as everyone started to gather there for Hiccup’s first slaying of a dragon, they’re surprised that Jack was the first one inside. By the time Stoick and Hiccup were arriving, Jack had released the Nightmare from the gates and tried taming it in an attempt to prove the dragons, by nature, don’t intend to harm unless provoked. He uses the ‘I’m not one of them’ that Hiccup uses in the movie, only I guess there’s more truth ringing to that.]
[Similar to the movie, Stoick stops it by banging at the mental cage barring the arena, which triggered the Nightmare to attack]
[Hiccup moves to help Jack and ends up getting caught in the dragon’s clutches instead, then enters Toothless]
[Hiccup walks out of his house marveling that dragons were freely roaming around Berk, and his father approving of it all]
Jack: Hey Hic.
Hiccup: Jack! You're still here.
Jack: Yeah, well, I would've stayed by your bed side, but between the bed and the Night Fury, there really wasn't...
[Hiccup cuts him off by kissing him in front of everyone. Raising a brow, Stoick turns to Gobber]
Stoick: I'm gonna need your help building Jack his own room.
Gobber: Sounds 'bout right.
[Jack and Hiccup pulls away, looking rather silly in their daze.]
Jack: I could get used to that...
Script here
Bonus (Cause I don’t know if I’ll do elaborate ones later of 2 and 3 [LoL I’ve been putting off actually watching 3 cause I don’t that very one particular angsty scene and I dunno if I’m ready to not get depressed after watching it and not just seeing pics and GIFs of it]
In the series, the first appearance of Dagur, it was also his first time meeting Jack. He flirted with Jack thinking he was a girl since he was first introduced as a Medic. He thought all Viking men grew into warriors eventually and assumed Jack was short for Jacklyn or something.
Hiccup, with annoyance, went to correct him before the flirting went further.
Jack was quick to display why he shouldn’t be quick to underestimate him.
Astrid was quick to kick his ass for being such a misogynist.
Instead of encountering Heather, it would be (teen) Jamie (from ROTG) that they happen to find.
Unlike in the series (where they display as if Astrid was jealous of Heather and Hiccup) it’s Hiccup jealous of Jack and Jamie.
Astrid is the first to figure out Jamie's real intentions, similar to Heather's; to steal a dragon for Alvin the Treacherous to save his family.
Astrid and Jamie bonds after that. Unlike Heather, Jamie and his family finds a home in Berk.
In this version for "Gift of a Night Fury" Jack would make an actual decent holiday treat.
If his guardian is Aster, he'd make a decent Eggnog. If his guardian is North, he would make good fruitcake. And if I maintain Trader Johanne, it would be a decent Yaknog.
After all, when he stays with Stoick and Hiccup, when father and son are busy he ends up being the one to cook.
Hiccup would call Jack 'my Snowflake', alluding to Jack's love for winter. Parallel to Hiccup calling Astrid 'Milady'
Hiccup tastes Jack's treat, likes it, and teases Jack about being a good housewife.
Jack blushes. Hiccup realizes what he said and remembers they're dating.
Toothless rolls his eyes at the background.
In the first scene, while everyone was at the Dragon race, Jack and Hiccup were flying on Toothless.
Although Hiccup was still the only one who could, in a sense, drive Toothless, since the contraption to help control Toothless’s tail was also where Hiccup’s prosthetic went.
So Jack couldn’t really help maneuver Toothless when Hiccup jumps off to hover ahead in his flight suit.
During Valka and Stoick’s singing and dancing of their wedding song, Gobber continues to dance by himself with Jack clapping and Hiccup tapping his foot, till Jack finally pulled Hiccup up to dance himself.
While Hiccup and Valka was grieving for Stoick, Jack had gone after Toothless, knowing that Hiccup didn’t really want to send him away. (If I do kill him haha)
He ends up getting taken by Drago along with Toothless, since he attempted stopping him from doing so.
Jack doesn’t get his personal dragon until after movie 3, Luna. So he usually just rides with Hiccup.
If I ended this HTTYD HiJack AU series till 3, it wouldn’t have taken so long for the dragons to return and they would’ve return a day after the wedding.
wedding gif came from a video of @little-hiccups
