Quit Your Crying
summary:
Dagur, with Hiccup and the dragon riders his hostages, decides to show Hiccup exactly who he thinks he belongs to.
"What did I say?! What did I just say, Hiccup?!" He yanked Hiccup back up by the hair, getting in his face, "Tell me!"
"N-no, no crying," Hiccup gasped, trembling despite himself.
"And?"
"Kiss y-you- kiss you back."
"And what happens if you don't listen, Hiccup?"
"...You kill my friends," Hiccup whispered.

Jsjsjsjsjsj literally I love them and this is one of my fav scenes sksnsksnsodnsm yeysysysy
Also may or may not be writing a fic about Hiccup using his power over Dagur ;)
Also the second screenshot of Dagur,,,,hes so hot tbh, I mean he is all the time but like especially in that shot
dagur freaking sauntering up to hiccup like this
and EYEING HIM LIKE THIS
and then the little finger tap
the WAY HICCUP IS LOOKING AT HIM TOO
gods I love every interaction they have and the tension kills me
imagine the damage hiccup could do if he knew how much dagur wanted him
like they could be arguing before a fight's about start and hiccup could just go: man you wanna fuck me so bad it's embarassing
and dagur would turn bright red and be like: NO! I don't...YOU...you wanna fuck--SHUT UP! NEVERMIND!!!
#actually I think rn it’s two fics#one is Viggo/Dagur/Hiccup#and the other is just Dagcup#cause I wanna contribute more to that side of the fandom#once uni calms down a little a least :(#BUT ALSO SKSMSKDJDKDK THEM THEM THEM#AND THIS FRICKEN SCENE SKSMSKDMDMDMDK

What made you ship Viggo and Hiccup? I'm curious
Well, it started with the term of endearment “my dear Hiccup” and kind of spiraled from there.
Plus it just became so much more genuine from Viggo’s perspective to me in seasons 5 and 6. He doesn’t correct Krogan when he pretty much points out his admiration/possible affection for Hiccup. He just tells him it’s fine as long as it doesn’t cloud his judgment.
His death scene in Triple Cross is 100% what sealed it for me. I’d been shipping them for years at this point, but Viggo dying for Hiccup, giving his life for him, really made it canon in my eyes.
Also, I just, will never forget how tenderly he says “Hiccup” in one of his last lines about how he’ll defeat Krogan and Johann. While taking his hand. Oh gods. Oh no. Here come the tears.
Anyway, yeah, Viggo’s attraction/respect/eventual love for Hiccup is pretty much canon to me. I have to make interesting scenarios and AUs for those feelings to be returned by Hiccup, because, as much as I write Hiccup being queer, I think he’s the token straight friend. Plus I’m a multishipper. I like Hiccstrid, Dagcup, Hicclegs��� you name it. I can spin scenarios to make Vigcup sweet, sexy, romantic, or just downright horrible, twisted, and depraved. It all depends on what mood I’m in. (All this to say that I think canon Vigcup is one-sided.)
So, uh, yeah, there it is. Pretty simply reasoning. I think it became one of my favorite ships because of how compelling and intriguing both these characters are to me. Viggo is up there as one of the best villains to grace animation. It’s a shame lots of people haven’t seen the shows and haven’t experienced him. I was drawn in with his opening monologue.

Do not know why I had the urge to do this but who cares.
It’s been nearly 4 years since I joined this side of httyd. Viggo and Dagur being love interests with Hiccup wasn’t something that crossed my mind yet here I am years later still loving all the content people are creating plus many more ships between characters. I just wanted to show everyone where it all started.
I downloaded tumblr and the first thing I added to my feed was httyd because what else. I followed some accounts and this fanart popped up in my feed. I clicked the links to AO3 and that’s how I discovered this side of fanfic and life.
This fantastic piece of fanart started all of this.
@dazzlingmagicfox thank you for creating this piece of art and @evilwriter37 as always.
Infernal Fascination was the first ever dagcup fic I read (i know right? What an introduction) which led me to Vigcup. That one chapter with Viggo getting Hiccup to himself really set the ball rolling. Which also led me down the rabbit hole of AO3 and all the fanfics written about these characters and many more for other fandoms.
I don’t know what I’d do without all this content in my life. Keep being creative and do what makes you happy no matter what anyone else says.

My brain is a shipping mess rn.
Like. Words can not even properly articulate the dilemma I am in regarding my story and the relationships within it.
Just.
Vigcup and dagcup are so cute. They're both literally enemies to friends to lovers and they hold so much fuel for angst and hurt/comfort and fluffy cuddles by a fireplace and the trust that is built up and I-
I just-
And Viggo and Dagur fighting to win Hiccups affection is such a top tier idea and I'm surprised nobody has written about it before. Viggo giving Hiccup flowers, handmade gifts, poetry he's written for him. Dagur trying to combat all that and not really knowing how. Angst and self doubt and comfort and whatnot follows.
Then again hicstrid is amazing. They're so wholesome and, yeah, it's kinda basic, but it's still so cute. They care for each other so much and it's adorable. And their dragons are best friends which makes it even cuter.
But Heather is also so freaking gay for Astrid that it's not even funny and they would be so cute together. Friends to lovers. Warrior women who would kill and die for each other. They're such an amazing team in the show and I just.
I think about all this and think I have it figured out and then my brain just. It's just like "hey, what about Dagur being a disaster bi for both Viggo and Hiccup?" and I'm suddenly sent reeling again. Especially with with found family aspect that literally has Viggo helping Dagur raise his adopted son and being deemed the kids 'second dad'.
This has already been decided BTW. Its set in stone. Dagur and Viggo are raising a child together in my story and Ryker helps out and is that kinda aloof uncle figure.
They take turns keeping an eye on this bundle of chaos and unfathomable energy. Have to sleep in small cuddle piles because this child refuses to sleep at all if he can't use at least one of his dads as a pillow. Viggo and Dagur get to see softer sides of each other that completely contradict their usual reputations.
Then Krogan comes along and becomes another father/the mother figure of this family and my brain just.
Implodes.
Kroggo. Angst. Hurt/comfort. Fluff. Trauma buddies.
And it's all just a love pentagram at this point and I haven't even thought about the other riders or any other relationships because my brain just. Latches. Locks its jaws on a collection of ideas and shakes it all around like a rabid animal.
Please help I need outside opinions on all of this

Sorry this is longer then I thought it would be but I couldn’t help myself.
I think for me personally I was more involved in the rtte era and yes I definitely think that plays a part into it. Cause that’s when they’re both older and obviously we get Dagur being redeemed and their relationship (at least to me) is cute. Although it’s not my fav ship it’s definitely up there but that’s probably because Hiccup is my favourite character and Dagur is pretty close to being my favourite (potentially my second favourite). The main thing that I think is the appeal is that their dynamic is interesting, it has the potential to be a whole lot of different morally grey shades even in canon and that opens up the potential for a lot of different emotions to analyse with them. Personally, I love being able to psychoanalyse characters, especially ones that are morally questionable, and there is a lot that can be done with these two. Them having a more comfortable relationship (and the fact that Hiccup is an adult and not a literal child in rtte) and having a lot of cute interactions is what made me like it to begin with but the potential it has for angst and interesting psychological impacts on each other certainly intrigues me a lot, making it a ship I like.
I still did watch Rob/dob when I was younger and I rewatch it a hell of a lot now and though I don’t think they should be a couple at that time (because obviously the age and the fact that it would not be remotely healthy at all), their dynamic is really interesting. I think, in terms of a ‘romantic’ dynamic, it could be interpreted as a one sided type situation and Dagur certainly isn’t the type to care about morality at that point. That scene where they are talking in the woods and Dagur is like ‘I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you’ and his facial expressions could show that. He seems hurt or at least annoyed when Hiccup responds to that with something like ‘that’s kinda strange, well im flattered.’ You can clearly see him being upset by that but that could be for multiple reasons outside of just being hurt by the rejection (and humiliation), like he could just be annoyed that Hiccup didn’t understand that he was referring to Hiccup and Toothless’ fake fight and annoyed that Hiccup said his feelings were strange (and that’s just two interpretations! The expressions are so interesting in that show it’s great). Theres also how he calls Hiccup brother, it’s a way of connecting them and it can be in a brother of arms way but in some ways it’s potentially a way for Dagur to kinda deal with the rejection, if he did have romantic feelings, by creating a familial bond instead of a romantic bond. That’s just one scene and theres a lot more I could say in the topic but I’ve already written a lot.
I think the whole idea of how Dagur’s mind works and his obsession with Hiccup and Toothless and revenge is really interesting and that’s a factor as to why Dagcup has so many fans, it’s purely just interesting to analyse them and have a multitude of different dynamics assigned to them in a way that fits somewhat with canon in fandom interpretations.
I’m not very good at making my points make sense so hopefully that does but I couldn’t help myself but ramble for a bit (mainly cause I’ve been really into watching Rob/dob over and over again recently). Also just in case it isn’t clear, but you being uncomfortable (especially because it is a pretty morally wrong ship in Rob/Dob) is completely valid and I don’t mean to try and convert you to like it or anything I just thought it was a very cool question to ask!
Genuine question for Hiccup+ Dagur shippers! Were you more involved in httyd in Rob/Dob era or rtte era, and do you think that changes your opinion at all?

My Personal Kinktober 2022 Day 2!
Summary: Written for my personal Kinktober 2022 Day 2. Set during RttE. Dagur knows something about himself that his new friends, the Dragon Riders, don’t know.
Warning: /
Rating: Mature
Characters: Dagur, Hiccup, Tuffnut, Astrid
Pairing: One-sided Dagcup
Words: 351
Fandom: How to Train Your Dragon
Prompt: Dacryphilia
Author’s Notes: I'm not following any kind of prompt list, but I did get my inspiration from some. Including this prompt, which got me curious and then instantly reminded me of Dagur.
So not all my Kinktober fics are going to be smutty, some are more character-driven, I guess.
Constructive criticism is appreciated.
Enjoy!

Dagcup because I'm curious.
What made me ship it:
In short, fanart. A friend told me about Dagcup and at first I was disgusted by it, so I googled some fanart of it as a joke. But there was something about the art that just... got me so into it that I started unironically shipping it a few days after.
Favourite thing(s) about the ship:
Their dynamic is number one. Then it's their backstory and the evolution of their relationship. They knew each other their whole lives, became sworn enemies and then got closer than ever before. Also Dagur was constantly flirting with Hiccup and I kinda love how one sided their relationship was for so long. Then that this ship can be depicted with Dagur being both rough with his affection but also soft and gentle (like he was with Mala). There's so much more tho but the post would be way too long.
Unpopular opinion:
Many people depict Hiccup being the taller one, but I personally prefer when Dagur is taller. I headcanon that Hiccup still didn't have his canon height in rtte, but eventually in httyd 3 Hiccup would be tiny bit taller than Dagur.

(a late) six sentence sunday!
from an almost finished one-sided dagcup fic that takes place during the first episode of rtte
warning for nonconsentual kissing, general unhealthy dynamic whump stuff
Dagur yelled in anger, pulled away from bruised lips and slapped Hiccup, hard, who fell to his side with a yelp, cheek stinging and already red from the abuse.
"What did I say?! What did I just say, Hiccup?!" He yanked Hiccup back up by the hair, getting in his face, "Tell me!"
"N-no, no crying," Hiccup gasped, trembling despite himself.
"And?"
"Kiss y-you- kiss you back."

For the shipping ask game:
Dagcup
and also Daglout
dagcup: though it's not very high on my list, i ship it!
it was one of my first ships when i got into the series! i've since moved on to stronger obsessions but it'll always have a little VIP seat in my heart because of that.
probably that it has so much canon support, at least on dagur's side. he flirts with hiccup so often?? like we get it dagur. you're gay. if hiccstrid weren't canon then dagcup would be the next best thing, tbh.
i haven't thought in-depth about the ship in a while so i don't have many opinions on it, let alone unpopular ones <:V i just think it's super cute
daglout: hm, don't ship it
i never really saw their relationship evolving past being friends :P to me its something more like snotlout "president of the dagur fanclub" jorgenson x dagur "why are you doing pull-ups on my arm let go of me" the deranged
canon chemistry is a big thing for me, so if dagur had shown more interest in snotlout i probably would have liked it more
as with Most snotlout ships, i love the "tiny ball of fury x partner who purposely pisses him off" dynamic

Well, if requests are open, I bring back my young dagcup pro agenda. ROB/DOB age with them. I’d give you an idea but I have none. Just whatever situation you’d like to explore with them at that age.
I had so much fun with this one! Thank you!
Rated: mature
Warnings: dubious consent in regards to kissing
Hiccup clutched the dagger tighter in his hand. An ironic weapon of choice, given the name of the person who was with him. It was dark in the house, but Hiccup knew which floorboards to avoid, knew which ones creaked.
His hands shook.
"Dagur, I don't think I can do this," he whispered.
No. He knew he couldn't do this. Dagur had bullied him into killing his own father. He hadn't yet, of course, and wouldn't, most likely, but he had to do something to distract Dagur so that Dagur didn't do it for him. This had been all Dagur's idea. Hiccup felt disgusted for even drawing his dagger. Why had he brought him to Berk? Why had he agreed to this?
Well, it was either this or help him hunt Toothless, and he knew he couldn't do that. He'd gone with Dagur back to Berk on one of his ships. The Berserker chief smelled of dirt and sweat and blood. He'd had an arm around Hiccup the whole time, had kept him close by his side. Hiccup knew how Dagur felt about him. How couldn't he? He'd made it quite obvious this night.
"You can," Dagur said just as quietly, putting a hand on Hiccup's shoulder, giving it a squeeze that was much too hard. "You just take the weapon and-"
Hiccup spun around and suddenly kissed him. He didn't want to hear Dagur tell him how to kill his father. He didn't want his father dead. Not at all. And if he could distract Dagur with himself...
Dagur seemed surprised, but happy, with the kiss. He took Hiccup by the waist, and Hiccup was afraid he would take the dagger from him, but he didn't. Instead, he let him pull away to sheathe it. Hiccup had to try very hard not to wipe at his lips. He'd never kissed a boy before, and had definitely never wanted to kiss this one.
Dagur grinned at him. "Your father can wait," he said. He nodded his head towards the loft. "You still sleep upstairs?"
"Yeah."
So Dagur was pulling Hiccup up the stairs in a hurry, and Hiccup was wondering what he'd just gotten himself into. Everything he was doing, he was doing to protect Toothless and his friends and his dad. He wondered if Stoick would wake at hearing him and Dagur making such a racket. That had been part of the plan: get Dagur so excited that he no longer cared about stealth.
The air was knocked out of Hiccup as Dagur practically threw him down onto the bed. Before Hiccup could do anything about it, he was between his legs, on top of him. His breath was hot on his face, and then his mouth was on his like glue. Hiccup tried to get his breath back, but that was very hard to do when someone was fiercely kissing you, and he found himself becoming lightheaded and dizzy.
Just when he felt like he was about to pass out, Dagur pulled away, and Hiccup gasped in a large breath. He was surprised, but glad, that Dagur let him breathe.
"D-Dagur-" Hiccup panted as the older boy began kissing his jaw, his neck.
"What?" More kissing.
How was Hiccup to stop this? What was he to do? He didn't want to have sex with Dagur, but that was clearly what Dagur wanted.
"You ever- ughn-" Dagur had found a sensitive spot on his neck- "done this before?"
"Yeah," Dagur said. They weren't talking in hushed voices now. Good. Hiccup wanted to wake his father so that nothing would happen to either of them. "You?"
"N-no. Mm!" Dagur was now sucking a mark into his neck right near his throat, and oh, that felt good! Hiccup hadn't realized he was so sensitive there.
"Oooh, I get you all to myself." Dagur rose off of him for a moment, looking at Hiccup, big chest heaving. He laid a hand on Hiccup's chest, effectively holding him down; Hiccup couldn't get up if he tried. "Have you wanted to do this with anyone?"
Hiccup was 15, nearing 16. Of course he'd had those feelings. He nodded. He didn't know how much he would tell though. He didn't want to make Dagur angry.
"With who?" Dagur asked.
"It's a secret."
Dagur shrugged. "Guess it doesn't matter." He leaned over him again, kissing him on the mouth. "Since you're all mine."
And Hiccup tried to make the kissing as noisy as possible. He was trying his best to wake his father, even though he would be found in such a compromising position. If his father was awake, he would live, and Hiccup wouldn't be forced into sex with Dagur.
Hiccup moaned, groaned, grunted. He did whatever he could that was within reason. He pulled away and shouted for real when Dagur put a hand over his crotch.
Then there was grumbling from downstairs. Good. Hiccup pulled Dagur into another kiss, wanting to keep him distracted till the very last second. He didn't seem to realize what Hiccup was doing.
"What the Hel is going on up there?!" Stoick's voice boomed from downstairs.
Hiccup had no idea how to answer. Dagur pulled off of him, looking shocked. He withdrew his hand from Hiccup's crotch, but didn't get off of him.
Since there was no answer, Stoick began coming up the stairs, light dancing, as he must have been holding a lantern. He froze at the top when the lantern illuminated Dagur over Hiccup on the bed.
"Dagur?! What are you doing here?!"
"Um, uh..."
"And Hiccup! You know better than to... than to bring someone into the house while I'm sleeping!" Stoick looked to be fuming. Hiccup's face flushed, because he suddenly realized that he couldn't tell his father why he had done any of this.
Dagur scrambled off of Hiccup, righted his belt, his helmet. "I... I should get going." He turned, gave Hiccup a wink and a wave, and then pushed past Stoick on the stairs and left. Hiccup was terribly relieved when he heard the door close. He sagged on the bed.
"Hiccup, what was that about?" Stoick asked.
"Dad, I-" He couldn't say he could explain. He couldn't. There was no explanation that Stoick could have.
"Dagur?" Stoick interrupted, luckily. "Dagur, of all people?!"
"I don't know! He kind of forced me into it!" Was that a lie? Maybe not. Hiccup had initiated the first kiss, but everything else had been Dagur's doing.
Stoick's face suddenly grew very serious, and he came over to Hiccup. He ran hands all over him, and Hiccup squirmed away.
"Did he hurt you?"
"Dad-"
"Did he hurt you?!"
"No! I'm fine!"
Stoick inhaled deeply, shakily. "Good." He looked like he wanted to pat Hiccup on the shoulder, raised a hand to do so, but dropped it. Hiccup was fine with that: he didn't want to be touched right now.
"I'm going to go make sure he finds his way to his ship without any detours," Stoick said. "You rest, okay?"
Hiccup nodded. He knew his friends would be okay on Dragon Island, and would return to Berk with Toothless. Toothless, his friends, and his father were safe. All because of him. All because of a kiss.
Hiccup went limp in his bed once his father left, the house dark once again. He wiped at his lips. He could still feel Dagur's touch. He could still taste him.
And, in the back of his mind, he wondered if he'd liked it.

2019 Wrap-Up | Author Recs
Happy New Year to all of you!
Lately, I have received several asks, asking what fics I recommend. I usually struggle to come up with this on the spot - what do I pick, after all!? Hence, I have decided to, as a wrap-up of 2019, and to start off 2020, make one big recommendation list of authors whose work I have enjoyed in 2019, with a few specific fics I like from them and what I believe they are good at.
If your name is not on this list, I’m sorry! I might simply not have read your work (my New Year’s resolution is to read more!), or my head is too much of a chaos to remember at the moment I made this list.
That said, here we go, in no specific order at all!
@saieras - Really like his writing style and has a specialty in post-HTTYD3 fics. If you’re looking for fics featuring Zephyr and Nuffink, as fully fleshed out characters with personalities, and what might have happened years after HTTYD3, read his works! Especially Once There Were Dragons and How To Train Your Parents?
@athingofvikings - Writing Alternate History is an art and this is the man who knows how to practice it. If you are interested in seeing how the world we know from HTTYD would flow into the real Viking times, A Thing Of Vikings is the most thoroughly-researched, epic-scale Alternative History fic you can find, with a wonderful community around it that thoroughly loves the fic. It’s quite long, so curling up under a blanket in winter might be a good occasion start reading ;)
@seagreen-meets-grey - Mostly writes Modern AU Hiccstrid one-shots and short stories. They always make me feel fuzzy inside and she manages to put down their relationship and dynamic down very well with little words, with a very comfortable and pleasant writing style. Personal favourites are When Lightning Strikes and When you’re close to me.
@itsasumbrella - If you want to read in Spanish, this is the place. I’ve read some of her work through Google Translate, and actually enjoyed it, so I can’t even imagine how good her work is in the original language. Especially check out Wicked Game!
@shipmistress9 - So. Much. Hiccstrid. So. good. too. She has one-shots, longer stories in all kinds of different settings and they’re all absolutely wonderful. If you’re looking for a Medieval Soulmate AU, look no further than For The Love of A Princess.
@evilwriter37 - Evilwriter covers a different section of fiction than most of the authors on this list and definitely deserves a shout-out for doing so. They’re very good at writing whump and less popular, “complicated” ships like Vigcup and Dagcup. And they have a lot of it, huge respect from my side for how consistently they write. So if you’re looking for ‘darker’ or more unusual content (Intersex Hiccup AU comes to mind) - it doesn’t have to be, it’s not for everyone, and that’s fine - definitely check them out. (But also don’t think that whump is the only thing they write, you can find more fluffy stuff with them too! They have huge range)
@mintyfreshness - Dreamworks Dragons: Tokyo Drift is one of my favourite one-shots of this year. It’s premise is great and the execution gives me all kind of feels, which is what writing a great one-shot is all about. I hope to get around to reading more from her this year!
@tysonrunningfox - Fox writes with such an amazing inherent amount of humour that I can only bow for, because it livens up her writing incredibly and adds another dimension to her stories, because she can hit that sweet spot of having certain scenes be both dramatic and hilarious at the same time, in a wonderful way. I unfortunately haven’t gotten around to reading Ripped, but I’ve heard it’s very good. I did very much enjoy Once Upon a Christmas Wedding at Haddock Manor, High and Flighty (perfect Hiccstrid short story) and the Festerverse series is one of the most extensive next-generation works I’ve seen and is all around great. I hope she keeps it up in the coming year!
@oh--you--pretty--things - Finding Valhalla stole my heart in 2019. It just wrenches my heart in exactly the right way and I devour every update it gets. How Astrid Got Her Groove Back is an amazing work of cougar!strid, Seize My Heart can be considered a fandom classic and Young God is definitely on my to-read list and I can’t wait to get around tot that.
@funkytoes - So many AUs. So many great AUs. I love The Wild Crown, I love Consort of the Sun, I love the comic The Breaking of the Waves (mermaid!Hiccup AU). Picture Perfect (Astrid claims to be dating Hiccup to get her family off her back, who is just a random guy from a stock photo, then encounters him in real life) is hilarious and lovely. And did I mention that their art is amazing too? Because it absolutely is. So much talent right there.
