Oi. so

Reverse Httyd where Toothless bites/rips off Hiccup's leg at the start of the movie. Hiccup then falls into the cove and is trapped there, or maybe he already was in the cove from the struggle during the dragon attack, but... he can't get out. And he is like actively dying from the blood loss, the pain, possible infection, exposure.

He hasn't got long. No one finds him, it's so deeply in the woods.

It's Toothless who has to decide to nurse Hiccup back to health/bring him back to his people, but it's Hiccup so he'll somehow still put up a fight against his deadly dragon enemy. Toothless is gonna have to earn this scrawny and injured human's trust.

can they please get me out of art block

OoooOoo! These all look so interesting! Could you tell us more about Winter Sunrise? 👀

absolutely!!!

it's a time travel au where hiccup dies in httyd 2 during the battle with drago, and wakes up in his old body during the events of race to the edge season 1

this time, hiccup decides to do it all differently, using his knowledge of the future to battle the hunters and save dragons better than he ever could before, to keep the dragon eye out of the wrong hands, to rescue dragons they couldn't last time, to perhaps prevent worse things from happening.

but it's strange, being in his old body, seeing his friends two years younger, blissfully unaware of the horrors that will come, all wide-eyed and ecstatic about traveling into "the great beyond", when dagur was still the worst threat they ever faced. when hiccup looks at dagur now, he sees the kid trying to get his father's attention, the guy whose wedding he will attend.

and hiccup can't shake off the deaths, his own, his father's, and it's tough, keeping it a secret from the other riders, to pretend he isn't any different than he was before, even when he knows they can tell.

the story also focuses on how it changes the battle between viggo and hiccup, when hiccup can see through viggo's moves and parry him easily because he's seen it all before, he knows where the bases are and he knows how the hunters attack and he knows which pieces in maces and talons are viggo's favorite.

he tips heather off, and viggo never gets the flightmare, and the riders never lose the dragon eye. he leaves game pieces for viggo to find in the ruins of the ships. he sets up plans to befriend the other tribes, the defenders of the wing, the wingmaidens.

all in all, hiccup struggles with the knowledge of the future and how he's essentially treating his friends like game pieces, all while terrified of the things that are yet to come.

thank you so much for the ask!!<333

The og dragon riders, but in my next gen AU :3 plus some notes on their designs

I didn’t feel like shading any of their clothes, so flat colors it is

I really love Actor AU and drew the guys with plush gifts in the form of their dragons

They're messing around

Hookfang ------- Allosaurus

Scientifically Accurate dragons ✨

[a1eckzandrah]

Made a college AU to cope with my own (bad) college experience because I would much rather do this instead of my actual work

Close ups:

I do have ideas for what type of pets the dragons would be, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to execute it because I am TERRIBLE at drawing animals maybe besides cats. Which speaking of cats obviously Toothless would be a cat, Stormfly would def be a bird, I was thinking of making Meatlug a pug and Hookfang a dobermann, and Barf and Belch a couple of snakes :)))))

Hopefully there will be more to come, but my midterms are fast approaching so it may be a bit before that happens

Reference for Ghostwaker! The light fury replacement oc.

And for Toothless, purely to show the contrast between how Ghost looks and how he does, especially size and shape-wise. Also spreading httyd1 toothless design propaganda.

Little au I'm cooking up

Part 2

[hhijack-resurgence]

[autumndragon]

Please tell me about sacrificial lamb httyd!!!

YES I WILL

it's an au where hiccup's bond with dragons, with toothless in particular, is seen as either demonic or divine, and when misfortune hits, hiccup is chosen as the perfect gift to appease the gods. it's somewhat based on the episode "when lightning strikes", though this time, instead of just toothless, hiccup is blamed for the natural disasters as well.

in the story, dragons are a little more mystical than the series, more "wild" and animalistic, so it makes hiccup's bond with them even more unusual.

i'm torn between making it outsiders who see hiccup's rare connection to dragons and want to sacrifice him for their own gain, or it being the berkians, who, when stoick is out of town, are riled up into believing that hiccup is to blame for the disasters, for a little extra spice.

especially since, if it is the berkians, i can make hiccup accept the verdict for the good of his own people, "the need of the many outweigh the need of the few", especially when hiccup is made to believe he is genuinely at fault.

a snippet :

and he does not fight, does not cry, not when they lay him out on the altar, crossing twines of coarse rope around his thin wrists—frayed, already, down its lasting length—or when they blind his gaze with cloth, so that their virtues may not be witnessed by the devotee, their sacrifice hidden for the eyes of the offering.

.

(p.s. there is a version of this story where hiccup is the reincarnation of a dragon deity, and the place they sacrifice him used to be a temple dedicated to him, for bitter irony).

Okay so I’m actually insane about lycanwing Hiccup. I imagine he gets distracted by shiny objects and then gets embarrassed when people point it out
