Week Thirty-Eight

Stoick had nightmares, bad ones, nightmares about Hiccup, about Viggo, about all the things that had happened to his son and Berk. In most nightmares, Viggo had Stoick restrained while he fucked Hiccup in front of him and did ungodly things to his body. Stoick didn’t know all that Viggo had done to Hiccup, but Viggo had told him some of it, and he’d seen some of it as well. He’d never get the image of beads coming out of Hiccup’s cock out of his mind, nor the piercings in his nipples. Viggo had done absolutely terrible things to his son’s body.

In other dreams, Viggo tortured both him and Hiccup together. In some, he saw Astrid’s rape, though he had never been witness to that. He saw the rape and torture of his tribesmen, saw their beheadings, their deaths.

Then there were the nightmares about the future: Astrid dying in childbirth, the babies being Viggo’s, the babies dying.

Week Thirty

Astrid felt her babies kick as she idly gazed at Hiccup and the gray in his hair. He was getting ready for the day, didn’t notice her looking at him from where she sat up in bed. Her hand ran over her enlarged stomach. It was much larger than it would have ever gotten with one baby. She felt like sometimes she could hardly walk.

Now, Hiccup was focused on the gray in his hair. He pulled at it.

“Maybe I should dye it,” he said.

“Trying to hide your scars?” Astrid asked. She stood with difficulty, waddled over to Hiccup. She put a hand on his arm. He looked at her.

“It’s not like scars are very pretty,” he answered. He tugged on the tuft of gray hair again. “Do we even have dye that matches the color of my hair?”

Astrid shrugged. “If it helps, I think it suits you.” She kissed him on the cheek.

The Pact, Part 5 Preview

Sam Winchester x Crowley’s Daughter!Reader

Days had passed since getting caught out in the rift storm and in that time, your dynamic with Lord Winchester had shifted dramatically. He was far kinder towards you and not in a false way. He was genuinely kinder, even behind closed doors, and while you didn’t exactly win his love and affection, he did share the bed and speak to you with respect and kindness. Those gestures went a long way in keeping up appearances as a newly married couple, especially when in the presence of the King or one of the guards he’d tasked with keeping an eye on you. As if he thought you were dumb enough not to feel the constant looming presence of the Winchester guard, you made sure they all got an eyeful that you and Samuel were on the road to procreation. 

In that time, Sam concocted and laid out a plan that could possibly work in both your favors. It started with his father believing that your marriage was going as planned and that both your wills had been bent enough to comply with the terms of the pact. Then, to gain the King’s favor and allow Sam to learn more about plotting war strategies and hopefully entrusting him with more about Crowley’s involvement. Finally, if all went well, they would find a way to pass the Maester’s exam to prove you were with child. You offered a few bits of magic that could aid in that trickery, and Sam seemed both scared and impressed with your knowledge of spellwork.

“You don’t spend years with Rowena Macleod without learning a few moves,” you had said, with a subtle wink. One that, you could have sworn made Sam’s cheeks flush pink. 

Of course, while this was happening, you and Sam needed to put things in to place behind the closed door of your chambers. That started with helping Sam regain full use of his body. The effects of the salve applied to Sam’s hip lasted for several days after you applied it. Every morning he would rise, and be able to get up and walk from the bed towards the fireplace without so much as a grunt of discomfort. He would push himself though, trying to strengthen the muscles and bones by doing various exercises around the space. All the while, you sat on the bed, knees drawn up into your chest as you watched; thoughts of what it would be like to actually lay with him running rampant in your mind. But by the end of the week, you could see the pain starting to return, along with the sounds of frustration it caused in him. 

It was nearly the middle of the night when Sam returned to your shared chambers, his face twisted in agony. He’d been meeting with his father, Maester Singer and several of the captains of the Winchester guard, trying to set a plan for more attacks in Purgatory. You could see that morning it was no longer helping him, but by the time he entered the room that night, it was beyond clear that Lord Winchester was in as much pain as he was right after his accident. 

“What happened?” you asked as he shrugged off his coat and threw it to the chair near the large stone fireplace. 

“Nothing,” he mumbled, barely able to meet your eyes. “Long day.”

“You’re in pain again,” you observed, and chewed on your bottom lip for a moment as you realized the depths of his suffering. “You’re pushing yourself too hard, Sam. The salve--”

“Has worn off,” he finished with a sigh and chanced to raise his gaze to yours. “I hate to ask…” Sam trailed off and silently pleaded with you to understand his question so he wouldn’t have to speak the actual words of his request. Though he had been kinder towards you, his need to keep you at arm’s length was still apparent. 

You nodded, saving him the torture of asking. “I can make more.”

Throwing off the covers, you went towards the chair on your side of the room, took your robe and draped it over your shoulders. You were just about to slip your shoes on when Sam held up his hand. 

“Whoa, whoa… where are you going?”

“To make more of the salve. The ingredients are simple. I should be able to find them out in the gardens.”

“It’s a New Moon, (Y/N), there is no light out there for you to see by. Torches would only draw unnecessary attention. Remember, I don’t want anyone knowing what we’re up too. If they knew that my hip could be healed…”

“I know, Sam. I promise I won’t get caught. But with how you’ve been working to strengthen it, if I don’t apply more soon, the pain you feel now will be a tickle compared to how you feel tomorrow. True, you don’t want them to know how strong you are getting, you also don’t want to appear weaker than you were.” You reached out and gently touched his forearm, and when he didn’t flinch, something in you warmed to him. “Let me do this.”

The room grew silent, with only the low crackling of the fire as he seemed to consider it for a moment, then nodded. “Okay, but you don’t need to go to the gardens. Come on, I have a place I think you can find whatever you need.”

The babies had the bluest eyes Hiccup had ever seen, including Viggo’s baby. They’d eventually opened their eyes, were now gazing around at everything with little looks of wonder on their faces. 

But it broke Hiccup’s heart. He knew Astrid didn’t want to care for Viggo’s child, Nuffink, and yet, here he was, a complete show of innocence. Hiccup understood though. Had the baby had brown eyes like his father, Hiccup didn’t think he’d be able to bare looking at him. But he could now, what with Astrid’s beautiful eyes gazing back at him. 

Astrid was sleeping, and Hiccup was watching the babies in their makeshift cribs. So far, they had yet to cry and wake Astrid, which was good. She needed the rest after the labor she’d gone through. Hiccup needed some rest too, but his could wait. He hadn’t just undergone childbirth.

Curious, Hiccup went up to the twin cribs. The babies were looking at him, watching him. He lowered a hand into each crib. Zephyr did nothing, just looked at his hand. Nuffink, on the other hand, reached out and grabbed at Hiccup’s index finger. Hiccup smiled, wiggled his finger around a little bit.

Week Five

Dagur and the Berserkers were staying on their ships to avoid overcrowding Berk. The people probably needed the space after Viggo’s men had taken over. 

A week into their stay, Dagur wasn’t at all surprised to find Mala on his ship. She had her back straight and her head held high as usual, as if she commanded the flagship and not him. This would have irked him before, but now it just made him flush with affection. 

“How’s Gustav?” Dagur asked. He knew Mala had been with Stoick to visit. 

Mala shook her head. “He’ll live, but he’s not happy about it.”

Dagur also shook his head. “That’s… sad.” He didn’t know what else to say about this. Gustav’s mental state was just reflective of how some other people on Berk were doing. Just because the occupation was over, didn’t mean that they were in the clear. There was trauma in the people of Berk now, and Dagur didn’t know what to do about that… other than drink. That’s how he handled his own trauma. Bury it deep inside, never talk about it, pretend he was okay, and drink. But that wouldn’t solve the collective problems of Berk.
