That was it. Just that one evening and afterwards he didn’t feel sick again. But even then, Stoick stayed by his side the entire night just to make sure. Not to difficult as both him and Gobber have set up camp at the clubhouse for the time being, which is the building nearest to Hiccup’s hut. Well, the nearest besides Astrid’s hut.

Meanwhile, Dagur has taken up residence in Snotlout’s and his sister stays with her. Their stay since joining the Dragon Riders has been long enough that there would be no point in sleeping in tents, yet likely not long enough to build them homes of their own. There was no way for them to know how long it would take for them to find Hiccup, though ten weeks certainly wasn’t ideal. They refused to take up residence in his hut, figuring he would need his space and they were right.

Hiccup didn’t do well with overbearing people before Viggo, he’s certainly not going to handle them well now and these are uncertain times.

However, when morning comes, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t look like he has been sick. He’s still pale, there’s a trembling to him and he feels cold. But all of that lasts until the morning passed. His appetite, on the other hand, hasn’t come back at all and now he can no longer stand the smell of food. It’s a trigger, the spicier, the worse the trigger.

The Dragon Riders decide he needs a little pick-me-up and what better way to cheer his mood than dragons?

Viggo may have accomplished a lot, they doubt he managed to even scratch his love for dragons.

He still isn’t flying, Toothless has been walking around without his saddle or even his tailfin as he follows Hiccup everywhere he goes. In the rare event that they do see them, that is. And no one can quite tell if the Night Fury has tried and failed or if he’s waiting for the right moment to return him to the sky. But what Toothless can do, is to drag him out of bed, out of his hut and towards the stables. There, the other dragons seem to take over. The second he catches sight of them and they of him, Hiccup works without thinking.

“Hey guys,” he smiles and he embraces each of the dragons, who leave their human partners to surround him. If the humans got to see so little of him, they got see almost nothing of him.

Hookfang scolds him for exactly that, blowing smoke at him while Barf’s head is in his arms and Belch rubs his cheek up and down his back.

Hiccup coughs. “I know, I know, Hookfang. I’ve been really unfair to you guys.”

He says it so softly, with such a loving smile that it almost makes the him they’ve been seeing for the past two weeks and a half vanish from their minds entirely. Astrid elbows Snotlout and points with her thumb out of the stables, figuring they could give them a moment to reunite properly. As she walks out, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Heather, Dagur, and Snotlout follow.

At the entrance, hand on a post, Snotlout lingers for a moment to look back. Hookfang has somehow wormed his snout back into Hiccup’s arms and he purrs. Meatlug and Stormfly impatiently wait for their turn while Toothless sits on the sidelines completely.

“I’ll make it up to you guys, I promise,” his best human friend tells his best dragon friend, who makes a noise that tells them both that he’s going to hold him to that.

Snotlout is just about to move on, smiling, when he hears something troubling.

“Hey, uh, not to make things awkward, but… You- you guys still like me, right?” Hiccup asks, Hookfang’s chin in his hands. The Nightmare looks up to him, confusion only he and the other Riders can read visible on his features.

He blows more smoke, whatever could he mean?

“Dragons, they… They don’t like me anymore,” Hiccup tries to laugh it off. He shrugs and tries to laugh, but his discomfort is painfully obvious and Snotlout can’t help but stare. What the Hel does he mean?

“An-and I’m worried that, uh, that the other Dragon Riders know more than they’re- than- than they’re letting on. But, you guys know and that- and that didn’t change the way you guys see me, right? You know everything. About them, about me, and… you know.” From his angle, with Hiccup surrounded by the dragons as they listen in closely, he can’t see him place a hand on his belly.

Snotlout certainly tries to get a closer look, eyes squinting, trying not to get noticed as he leans in closer.

Stormfly chirps, confirming that they do know something. Human scents change when something inside of them does, same as dragons.

But Hiccup continues despite her answer.

“An-an-anyway, you still know me, you know that I would never ever hurt any of you. Right?” He won’t be getting any verbal responses spoken in the human tongue, not even from Snotlout. Though he is just about to stop inside, when Meatlug nuzzles Hiccup with her big sweet head and he hugs her. Stormfly places her head on his back, cooing, and Hookfang’s chin on his head. Leaving Barf and Belch to struggle to find a part of him to cuddle, too, and Toothless to sits out of the circle, just happy to watch.

They stay like this and this moment lasts, it’s doing Hiccup some good to be surrounded by all of the first dragons he ever bonded with and feel their love, even though they can smell the things that have happened to him. He’s still theirs and the Grimborns rubbing their scent all over him and putting their baby in him hasn’t changed that.

But something inside of Snotlout changes as he walks over to the other Riders and realizes that they haven’t even begun to scrape the tip of this iceberg.

Couldn't resist busting out a warmup sketch while listening to one of my comfort osts. This is Berk always makes me feel so emotional. What a way to open a movie.

Golden Armor ^^ Had soooo much fun revisiting HTTYD and making this new piece! My last HTTYD panting must be years old by now! I was actually thinking of doing the same concept with Astrid and Stormfly - Let me know if you would like to see that! :)

Astrid cannot get over how ridiculous their situation is. Here they are, she and the four that are the closest people she has to friends, hiding away in this abandoned industrial zone. Or rather, it was supposed to be abandoned. They’re hiding amongst containers and boxes in a warehouse , the dragons inside were making a mighty ruckus until he walked in.

Hiccup Haddock and his damn dragons.

He stands by their only exit as they search, a vacant yet also much too alert look in his eyes. Astrid sneaks him one peek between some crates full of supplies and she feels a cold chill run down her spine.

She remembers going to school with him. He was awkward and weird then, but he had a brilliant head on his shoulders and he always seemed like he was just waiting to bloom open and show his true self. He was cute.

Then he disappeared, moved away from Berk to go live with his mother and he hadn’t been seen or heard from for five years. Not even by Stoick, who called the police to report his son as abducted when he didn’t get as much as a phone call from him. Unfortunately, Valka seemed to have disappeared just as well.

Until recently.

“This was stupid, this was so stupid!” Snotlout hisses and Fishlegs quickly covers his mouth. Doesn’t he know that Night Fury can hear him without even trying? Nevermind in a space as small as this. Not that a warehouse is small, it just is when they’re trapped with five bloodhounds in the form of extremely well-trained dragons and their whisperer.

Astrid can’t suppress a gasp when Hiccup’s head immediately snaps in her direction, though he’s too far away to hear them. Covering her mouth, she crouches back down into this little space she’s hiding in with her friends.

They say his mother did things to him. That his connection with dragons is all natural, but that she made it so that he is… connected connected to them. That’s why he has that look in his eyes, because h e’ s sharing his mind and it’s filled to the brim with them, his dragons.

In not a single one of their encounters with him, have they heard him talk.

There’s a growling and the five of them look up to spot the Night Fury glaring down at them from on top of two containers stacked on one another. They’ve been spotted and who knows if they can get out of this one.

Rewatched the Test Drive scene and thought about how Toothless probably must've resigned himself to the possibility that he'll never fly like he used to, especially when there's a human boy on his back who needs a cheat sheet in order to slowly work his tailfin. He'll never be fast again, he'll always have to wait on Hiccup to figure out which is the right tail position, he has to be careful.

And then they fly through that maze of sea stacks and find out that flying is as natural to Hiccup as breathing, apparently.

[krikunjayvoice]

It happened spontaneously, but I love AU. So… Avatar Hiccup. Hiccup considered himself an ordinary person before meeting Toothless. (Dragons can be equated to spirits, i mean relationships between people and them). Then he discovered his talent as an airbender and Toothless became his teacher. Later, other talents were discovered, which made it clear that Hiccup was an avatar.

Astrid became his waterbender teacher. Snotlout was an adept of firebender, but he sincerely did not understand how to teach, because he himself used magic on a subconscious level. Fishlegs is an earthbender, but he did not go beyond the amateur level and could not become a teacher. The twins are always on their own wave. Ruffnut is a master in airbending and can perform techniques with clouds of gas, while Tuffnut is not a master, but is ready to set fire to the gas with his sparks at any moment. The twins always come in a set.

Brothers Grimborn! Lord of Fire Viggo. The aesthetics of blue flame and lightning were created for him. So I couldn't resist. The hottest flame and deadly techniques of lightningbending made him the most terrible opponent for the young avatar, but in the future, he will become the teacher of fire magic for Hiccup. I endowed Riker with explosion magic, as for me, it suits him perfectly. An explosive mixture of rage and bloodlust.

Berserkers! Remembering Viggo's words about how the berserkers in ancient times lured the Skrills with metal, I thought about a tribe practicing metalbending. Dagur discovered his talent for earth magic much later, including metal. I like to think that Dagur could be a threat to the avatar even as an ordinary person, relying on his ingenuity and physical strength. Heather is a master of earth and metal magic, she could well become Hiccup's teacher in this matter.

There's also just years and years of slow burn but that didn't fit
