#but I want Hiccup to get truely angry about it

[hiccupbutpurple]

Hiccup should graffiti the Buffcup portrait methinks

Or burn it

Or send it to Viggo with an ominous letter saying something like ‘watch out’ or ‘I’m here’ or ‘you’ve been warned’ something like that

[hiccupbutpurple]

Eheheheheh I’ve thought about this so much for my main headcanon AU (as in the one I consider canon in my heart - I call it my Valmore AU cause I named it back in 2017 and it’s where all my fandoms collide (even if they don’t meet) lol.) Because I like talking about it, imma share the parts works for this even if it’s very self indulgent (and long sorry) lol

For background:

- Basically everything from before the end of the second movie is still canon (aside from Viggo dying obviously).

- Hiccup is in a relationship with Astrid and Jack Frost (who joined just after the events of the second movie), and later Viggo, (Dagur is also a bit of a ‘friend with benefits’)

- Astrid is also with Heather

- They find him when Hiccup is about 23 (and I basically just adapted the A Single Night To Reconnect series by AHeartForStories into the universe lol) and bring him back.

Regarding Heather:

- She’s the last to truely accept him into the family. Astrid was slow going but she was confident in Hiccup’s ability to make friends from enemies and understood Hiccup’s feelings, but she was still on edge around him for a long time. Jack never had any history, though he heard stories and was a little hesitant cause he reminds him of pitch, but they have a frenemies relationship and Jack likes to annoy him.

- Heather lives between Berk and Berserker island and wasn’t there when they brought him back. They send a letter asking her to come over because they need to discuss how to move forward with this as a family. No one was there when she went into the household and she saw him chilling, freaked out because wtf didn’t he die? She goes for the attack, despite knowing how he sacrificed himself for Hiccup but she isn’t really thinking of anything other then ‘he’s a threat’ because he’s always been dangerous to her. They fight a bit with Viggo on the defense, Astrid is the one that pulls her away and gives her the debrief. Heather makes them go back to Berserker Island so she can process without Viggo being around (and within axe range).

- It causes a bit of tension between Astrid and Heather, she doesn’t trust him and especially doesn’t like that he didn’t reveal himself. She’s got some paranoid thoughts about how he could be building an army behind their backs or something. Astrid tries to dispel those a bit, but she also has some doubts about Viggo’s intentions too. She still wants to support Hiccup, but they definitely do some digging together, even though Hiccup asked them not too. - I like to think Astrid gets reminded of how she didn’t trust Heather at first (and yes she had good reason too) but ultimately everything turned out well.

- She, Astrid and Jack do bond over their anger (more so the ladies but Jack gets a little miffed too) that Viggo let Hiccup believe he’d died for him for ages though, they all comforted Hiccup with those feelings.

- There is a lot of tension between Hiccup and Heather. At first, Hiccup defends Viggo whenever she tries to get angry or accuse him or remind him of the past, and she feels pretty neglected by him. They have a talk and Hiccup remembers that, of course, she would have a lot of personal issues with Viggo, and it isn’t fair for him to try and convince her to ignore those feelings. He apologies and not long after that he’s encouraging the two of them to talk things through.

- They do discuss things, Viggo makes his new views very clear and promises to not hurt her or the others. She can see that he’s changed a lot which helps but I don’t think she would be comfortable around him for a long time.

- She also knows that Viggo doesn’t really see anyone other then Hiccup as a real person. He doesn’t try to hurt her or anything, but she still feels uncomfortable by it, especially with how many times she’s been used as a pawn for people and his flirty remarks at her.

- After their talk together, she isn’t as aggressive towards him but, for a long time, she stays more on Berserker island because she doesn’t like being around him. I think this would also cause some tension between Hiccup and Astrid too.

- Dagur doesn’t really like Viggo but he understands the struggle of being a former enemy and trying to redeem yourself. Once he confirms to himself that Viggo isn’t trying to destroy his family, he starts trying to help Heather through everything. There are definitely some conversations that backfire though, like the ‘technically you were kinda an enemy to them as well’ ‘being blackmailed and spying are not at all the same thing!’ convo.

Regarding Viggo:

- Viggo makes attempts (partly because of Hiccups pleading, and partly because he genuinely enjoys Heather being around) to befriend her. I like to think he does little things like trying to do some of her chores or (one time) trying to feeding Windshear snacks. She gets annoyed that he doesn’t do it her way and didn’t ask for permission to feed her dragon.

- Windshear also reacts to Heathers anger as well and gets aggressive around Viggo, I imagine a lot of sea slugs were thrown in Viggo’s face that day.

- He avoids playing maces and talons around her, since he’s aware she doesn’t like how he used her and he catches her staring at the ‘traitor’ piece for longer then could be considered normal. Once they become more friendly (since they technically become immortal in this AU, it definitely is slow going) they do enjoy playing together though.

- Even though she was a spy, he doesn’t feel much anger (he’s had ages to sit around and contemplate by himself I think), but he does feel some respect for her. She didn’t trick him exactly, but she still did a good job and played many people. He does try to bond over that with her too, talking about their similarities and how it doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

- He doesn’t make any flirty remarks around her while she’s still u comfortable but once that passes he definitely does.

- There are many future wars that they have to work together, which helps them bond. I also think they can both be pretty manipulative and good actors. I have a little scene where they are infiltrating an enemy group and act as a married couple.

Nsft:

- In the AU they aren’t together or have romantic feelings but I do fully think they would have sex and stuff every now and then. I can see Heather joining Astrid, Hiccup (maybe Jack) and Viggo for a night and her and Viggo enjoying each other every now and then. Hiccup or Astrid probably first introduced the idea of the foursome as a trust building exercise or something lol.

Okay that’s all I have energy for, hopefully that can provide a little satisfaction or food for thought lol!

Something I haven't thought about before somehow when it comes to AUs where Viggo survives Triple Cross: How would he and Heather get along? She was a spy that infiltrated his operation, and Heather has a hard time trusting. (I also feel like Viggo had a thing for her.) I need this now. Omg.

That last post tho 👁👄👁

Tommy then hating both Billy and Tommy because there’s tension and he’s upset and everything. He had feelings for Billy. He had feelings for Steve. And now he’s being a total brat and Steve and Billy obviously take notice. 👀

YESSSS

I think at first he’s literally be crushed, like truely hurt and devastated, even though he knew this is what Billy wanted the whole time he didn’t think it would ever happen. And maybe that was his fault for falling for a guy who couldn’t give less of a shit about him, or so it seems, but it was Billy’s too for taking advantage of him.

I could totally see him showing up at Carols front door at, like, an ungodly hour of the night and Carols dad just about kicks him to the curb because they have a strict rule about when boys can come over and shit, but it’s Carols mom that let’s him come in after seeing the state of complete disarray he’s in, the state of just not Tommy.

He literally sits between Carols legs and cry’s into her chest for what has to be upwards of half an hour, meanwhile Carol doesn’t even know what the fuck is going on and is kind of freaking out because Tommy didn’t get like this a lot, crying just wants his natural reaction for when things went sideways, so it must be bad.

And finally when he starts to calm down and he’s all sniffles and hiccups and shaky breathing Carol finally asks, “buck up, bunny, what’s wrong?”, running slender fingers through his hair, using a nickname she never dropped from when they were dating.

It takes Tommy a minute to compose himself enough to get out that Steve and Billy are together now and that now that Billy has Steve he doesn’t need him anymore before saying it aloud gets him all sad again and he starts crying.

He ends up spending the night curled up against Carol while she rubs his back, trying to get him to fall asleep because it’s clear he needs it bad. And he does eventually, feeling more embarrassed than anything else when he wakes up. He awkwardly jokes that Carols boobs are good to cry into before Carol hits him over the head with one of her pillows and send him off.

And, really, Tommy’s a petty ass bitch. So, pretty much any time Steve or Billy tries to talk to him he just gives them a look and walks away. The look is supposed to be angry but if anything it’s just plain tired, tired of not feeling like anyone’s first choice, tired of never being enough, tired of being Tommy.

He only confronts what happened when Billy comers him in the locker room while he’s changing into his uniform, demanding to know what the fuck it up with him like he doesn’t already know.

Tommy spits in his face, hard.

And he swears he’s never smiled harder than watching Billy’s face just completely drop. And yeah, maybe he gets his ass handed to him on a silver platter and has to get stitches in his cheek and his nose reset. But it’s worth it in his book because at least he got a sliver of revenge and the attention he still craves from Billy ever so much.

What we become  - Part 10

"Can I ask you something and you promise to be honest to me" you had to ask Nat, this question had been burning in your brain ever since you met Pietro.

You were driving back home from your shopping trip. Wanda and Sharon wanted you both to join them for a small get together at Sam's house, but Nat declined.

"I was waiting for you to speak" She didn't even look up from her phone "you didn't really think I missed the way your mood plummeted when you heard Steve and Sharon are getting married soon, did you?" "What, what do you mean? What would I..wha..what do you mean?" Did Nat know about you Steve, god no! "Um that's not what I..I meant to ask of you really love Pietro"

Nat laughed "What kind of question is that? Of course I do. I am getting married to him peanut"

"I mean, last time I met you, you were crying over James, the guy you were in a relationship with since ages, and then you are dating his brother in law. I thought you just wanted to rub it in his face but then all of this" you pointed towards her ring and the shopping bags.

"Wait.you think I am getting married to Pietro as some sort of elaborate revenge scheme? No honey, I love Pietro, I truely.." Nat stopped mid sentence as your car had reached its destination.

"You and I need to have a long chat Peanut" She grabbed your hand and pulled you out.

------

You and Nat were sitting in her living room with your own glasses of wine, the bottle halfway gone and you were feeling better than before.

"Now that we have some wine in your empty belly, let's talk. No actually, I will talk and you will listen" Nat put up a finger before you could utter a word

"So, I will start with me and James. Yes, we were dating and he made so many promises which he couldn't keep" Nat took a sip of her wine "Did you know James and Wanda were given a month before they were to get married"

Your eyebrows shot up. Did this mean

"Yeah, this was more of a family alliance then anything else" Nat read your mind " but James willingly agreed to it, he was promised handover of the Barnes empire if he agreed afterall..."

Nat took another sip while you digested this new information. You didn't really know if you felt anger or pity for James.

"...and Wanda is in love with her bodyguard Vision, in case you didn't notice"

Pity then

Nat continued "You know, he never reached out to me. The reason I decided to give you a visit all those years ago was to surprise him, since he had been ghosting me after starting a silly fight. Little did I know, he had a surprise waiting for me" Nat took another sip "He saw me that day, at the airport, while he was with Wanda but he didn't reach out to me. Not even once"

Nat took a deep breath "You know why I am telling you all this?"

"Cz I am your sister and you should have told me ages ago"

Nat shot you a look "Like you told me about Steve"

That had you freezing mid sip "How do you know?"

"Steve came to visit our family home a few days after you left. Mom let him in and he asked me where you were, something that James didn't do"

You scoffed at that " Your bar is set way low Nat if you are comparing men to James. Was Pietro measured the same .."

"Why do you do that?" Nat sat up and put her wine glass down "why are you deflecting this topic. You know why I am happy with Pietro. cz I accepted my past, my feelings. Yes I was in love with James. WAS. I know it's a "was" because I acknowledged my feelings. You are in love with Steve as much as he is in love with you. You can't brush it under the rug."

"There is nothing to acknowledge Nat. There never was" you got up to go to the kitchen and then to bed. This conversation wasn't going anywhere.

"What is wrong with you?" Nat raised her voice and grabbed your arm "Steve loves you. Why are you being so stubborn and selfish"

"Me? Selfish?" You yanked your arm back from her grip "Here I am, trying my best to be happy for my soon to be married sister, while all I can think about is how the guy I am in love with is still engaged to the woman he chose over me 5 year ago. Trying to smile and go shopping while all I really want to do is sit in a corner and cry. I am sorry for trying to be a better sister than you are" If you were in the right state of mind, you would have taken your words back but you were too far gone "All my life, all I wanted was for you to act like a grown up. You never had any career aspirations, mom was struggling but you never, ever did anything to help her, always living your life, enjoying all the attention while your mother and sibling were running themselves to the ground trying to make ends meet. Who is selfish now, eh Nat" You went to your room and slammed the door shut. This was not how you planned your vacation to be.

----------------

There was a knock on your bedroom door and you knew it was Nat.

You were already feeling guilty saying all those things to her. She was getting married soon and truth be told, she wasn't that girl anymore. Nat had taken such good care of your mom and the house. This was the past.

You wiped your face and went to open the door.

"Steve" your breath caught in your throat

"Hey, can I come in"

"Yes, you can," Nat said from behind him. She pushed him in " there you go. Nice talk kids" and she promptly shut the door.

"Nat, open the door" you banged on the door. The doorknob was jammed. "How the hell did you lock it from outside?"

"I had special locks made for all my doors. Now finish talking and i won't let you out till you are done" Nat yelled from outside.

You stood there, facing the door. Refusing to turn around even though you knew it was childish to do so. A few moments passed before Steve cleared his throat.

"Would you please turn around. I haven't seen you in ages"

He was engaged to Sharon and then he was saying things like this and just like that your anger from earlier returned. You turned and poked your finger in his chest.

"Why do you do that. Why the hell do you look at me like that and say those things. You are engaged,Steve, or did you forget like the way you forgot to tell me you were with Sharon the entire time. I waited for you.. An entire fucking year for you to come back to me and tell you that I love you and you...mmppfp"

Steve effectively cut your monologue off with his lips, slamming them into yours for a few seconds before he let you go while keeping hold of your elbows.

"I love you too"

And with that the tears you had been holding onto for so long, flowed freely "Why do you do that"

Steve's expression was one of pure panic "No, no, no baby don't cry. No please, dear god, shhh..." He crushed you to his chest and rubbed your back while you kept hiccuping and crying "You lied to me Steve, for so long. You broke my heart"

"You are my heart baby. I love you so so much, you have no idea how these past 5 years were for me. I missed you. I love you. Sharon means nothing, this world means nothing. I love you, only you, always you" Steve mumbled into your hair.

You lifted your head from his chest "What about Sharon. No more lying. Please tell me the truth"

Steve cupped your face and ran  his thumbs under your eyes to wipe your tears "Only the truth now sweetheart" He then gave you 2 quick pecks on your lips and interlocked your finger together.

"I broke up with Sharon the same day our engagement was announced and I came looking for you but I didn't find you anywhere" Steve peered into your eyes, hoping you'll believe him "before I was flying to your family home , Sharon told me something which forced me to stay engaged to her" Steve exhaled loudly before continuing "She was pregnant"

You stepped back from Steve and the tears came back again.

"She what?" "No, no , no..the baby wasn't mine. Please let me just..." Steve tried to get you back into the cage of his arms "I haven't seen you in five years heart"

You kept out of his reach "Let's finish discussing this please"

"Yeah ok" Steve ran a hand through his hair "Sharon fell in love with a guy named Stephan Strange back in fashion school, he was her classmate actually. She wanted to tell her family but they announced our engagement. She asked me to do her a favor and wait for a few days. The guy was supposed to fly down here and she was going to introduce him to everyone and tell them the truth and with a baby on the way, she was sure no one would refuse" Steve then reached for you again and you halfheartedly stepped back before he ensnared you in his arms.

"Thank you" he bumped his nose against yours and his arms moved to form a band around your waist before continuing "A few weeks after you left, I was at home when an angry Mrs. Barnes gave me call asking me to come to the hospital" Steve shook his head at the memory "The guy never showed up and Sharon lost the baby. She thought it would be easier to blame it on me than the real father. She begged me to keep appearances and agree with her schemes and honestly, I had nothing to lose at that time'' Steve raised his hand to run the back of his fingers on your cheek "For all I knew, you were gone forever. Nat told me you guys saw us the other day at the airport. She told me you were never coming back and you didn't love me. Probably didn't even like me enough to mention me to your only sister" Steve then gave you a toothy grin "but you do love me. You just said you love me"

"You are still engaged to Sharon" You didn't want to get your hopes up too high

"I won't be for long. I will tell everyone the truth. I only kept this up because I had no other hope. I knew I would never fall in love again. Atleast, I could help a friend out" Steve was now swaying the both of you back and forth to some imaginary song playing in his head "but you have to promise me one thing, you will never, ever leave me again. Never, you hear me" Steve started leaning in again as the words left his mouth. "Steve, we shouldn't" you tried moving away "you are technically still engaged to another woman" "She is just a friend y/n. Trust me when I say this Sharon and I do not love each other " Steve moved his hand to your neck "I have waited so long to feel these lips again. Have you back in my arms. This feels like a dream"

You believed Steve. Your heart knew he was telling the truth. You realised Nat knew all of this all along and that was why she was pushing you towards Steve. Steve - the man you loved "I am so glad to be back in your arms" You smiled and got on your tippy toes to kiss him on the lips.
