Was trying out a new style and thought Dadcup was the perfect candidate!

A little snippets from my Whumpcember day 7 fic, which is from another AU I've started. :')

A little bit of context, Hiccup comes home to find his very sickly son missing.

-XOXOX-

Oh Gods, the images and thoughts running rampant through his mind. He has already lost his father, his mother, his mentor, and at this point he’s not even sure if his wife is ever coming home. If he loses either of his kids, it may actually kill him.

Turning back around, he runs out of the door again. His heart pounding, his breath racing and his hands on Tiny’s little sister. Outside, the first thing he does is run straight into Snotlout. The friend he entrusted his son with.

[howtowhumpyourhiccup]

Fishlegs would be such a good choice, ironic because he's the healer of the group. They're going to have to heal the healer!

But my personal vote goes towards Hiccup, too. And in this case, that does also involve Toothless! 😭

(Imagine if the Dragon Riders had Vigi. 👀)

I know you like volcanoes and volcano whump and I was thinking of when the Dragon Riders experience all those earthquakes and mini-eruptions. What if at night when they're sleeping there is a particularly hefty earthquake and the Riders walk out to check the damage and sees that one of their huts is just gone and so is the Rider who slept there?

Hey, now, Mel.

I love it. It's so fucked. And so upsetting.

Especially for them.

On the basis of where the huts are, I nominate Fishlegs (it's on a seastack, apparently, checked an episode and a wiki, whoa), but man, wouldn't it be fucked if it was Hiccup (and Toothless)?

Tiny (aka. Vigi) belongs to @howtodrawyourdragon and I will move mountains for this baby.

An old sketch from, like, 2022 that I came across as I've been cleaning up my art folder. As I've been thinking a lot about my main Merman AU (The Fisherman & The Merman) again, I decided to post it this time. A clean version and a version in which Hiccup is a little bit beat up. Very close to what Hiccup's fishform looks like in this AU, he just doesn't have the webbed hands in this one. And maybe the scars are a little bit different, although he is missing half a tailfin still.

“You want me to what?!” Spitelout is outraged with the kind of suggestion Hiccup dared to come to him with.

“Use the projector to screen a movie with,” Hiccup repeats himself just as matter of factly as he first suggested the idea. “A Snoggletog movie.”

That last part he had to add just in case his uncle got the bright idea that he was talking about any other kind of movie. Hiccup can’t say he’s watched many movies growing up and he wouldn’t have any idea what kind Spitelout could potentially like, but he’s certain their tastes are miles apart.

“And why, on Midgard, would I do that?” The man questions him, ready to strike his idea down just because it came from a Haddock, from the late Stoick’s son.

“Why not? Snoggletog is around the corner and I know we have Snoggletog movies in storage, why shouldn’t we show them? We’ll gather everybody in city hall, it’ll be fun!” He tries to convince him as Spitelout walks around the living room of his home. His wife and Adelaide are out for the moment.

Hiccup practically has to chase him around the table, it’s like Spitelout is physically trying to escape him and his ideas. Unfortunately for him, Hiccup doesn’t let his pegleg slow him down.

“Fun?! You think that’s what we should waste our time on? On fun?!” The other man turns back around to face him, a headache beginning to brew. Hiccup usually had that affect on him. Losing his father’s position to him because of The Word Upstairs has not tempered his tongue. And neither did having a kid, unfortunately for him.

“Yeah, I do!” Hiccup is honest. That’s exactly what he thinks, it’s important. But Spitelout scoffs and dismisses his idea. He’s close to showing him the door, tell him to go back to the workshop and that he needs to do his job. He’s a mechanic. He should be fixing whatever they bring to him and meet with doctors to make leg and back braces or even full on prosthesis. Like he made his.

They all have roles to play in Berk and Hiccup’s isn’t to come knock on the chief’s door to spout nonsense whenever he gets another one of his crazy ideas. That is not his place, not anymore.

And then Hiccup has the gal to grab Spitelout’s shoulder and stop him just as he’s headed towards the door.

“You want to be like my dad? Loved and respected?” He asks. “This is how. By not just caring about how we survive, but how we live!”

Or that is certainly what his father taught him. That it was good to give people the things they needed to survive, but that it was even better to give them the tools to live. Why else would he insist on celebrating things such as Snoggletog for the entire two decades that he was chief of his territory in the tunnels? He made it a point to celebrate his son’s birthdays, too. And in turn, Hiccup celebrates his son’s.

Spitelout stares back at him, the gears turning and clearly not liking that the younger man has a point. There haven’t really been any Snoggletog celebrations, or celebrations of any kind, in the past year and a half since Stoick’s passing and the people have let him know their displeasure.

The man scoffs before going about his day.

-XOXOX-

On Snoggletog Eve, the entire community of Berk, or certainly most of it, gathered in City Hall to watch a movie. They’re watching “The Mildew Who Stole Snoggletog.”

There are chairs for the audience to sit on, but all of the children are seated on the floor with their necks craned back and absolutely enthralled with the tale of the sheep, Fungus, and his owner, Mildew, whose heart grew three sizes that night.

Like with many parents, Hiccup and Astrid sit with the children. Both of them cross-legged, though only one of them has their five year old, Vigi ‘Tiny Hiccup’ Haddock, in their lap. It’s Astrid and Hiccup gives his family a look from the corners of his eyes, wondering if tonight will be the perfect opportunity to tell her that come this time next year, there will be a child in both their laps to watch a movie. That is, if Spitelout is willing to keep this new tradition going.

Just as he brings his attention back to the screen, Astrid whispers to him.

“You’re a great dad, you know that?” She tells him and his head turns towards her. Astrid’s gaze is still firmly glued to the screen. Tiny doesn’t even notice the conversation, stuffed Toothless made by his dad in his arms like his dad’s mother once made one for him.

“Huh? What brings that up?” Hiccup asks, genuinely curious. Not that affectionate words are rare between them.

“Nothing,” Astrid shrugs casually. “You just do a lot for the kids and I love it when you care for people like you do.”

“Ah well, Milady, I love you, too,” he tells her and she shoots him a smile.

As Astrid turns her attention back to the movie, Hiccup looks behind him to find his mother and Gobber in the crowd. Like they can feel his gaze on them, they look back and Valka waves at him. After smiling back at them, Hiccup scoots closer to his wife and wraps an arm around her shoulder to pull her even closer and urge her head to rest on his shoulder.

Six Sentence Sunday of a Pregcup fic that I suddenly had the idea to write and am well past halfway through writing.

Warnings: Pregnancy, implied childbirth.

-XOXOX-

And the baby finally leaves him and lands safely in Fishlegs’ gentle hold.

For a moment, it’s black before his eyes and Astrid has to hold him back when he threatens to fall forward.

“Oh, what happened?” He asks when he comes to after that brief moment of unconsciousness.

“Don’t worry about it, you just passed out,” Astrid informs him and combs her fingers through his hair.

It’s meant to be reassuring, but all Hiccup feels is sick to his stomach. Like there is a long buried memory that he only vaguely remembers.

-XOXOX-

It's late in the evening. After making sure Zephyr is fast asleep in her basket, Hiccup settles into his son's bed with Tiny. The boy has already picked out a book for him to read from. He picked it from the small collection that they have stuffed in between the bigger books of his parents in the living room bookshelf. Coughing, he crawls into his lap and pulls the blanket over the both of them.

Naturally, Hiccup watches him for a moment. That wasn't the first time he heard that cough this evening.

Settling in comfortably with his son in his lap and the book in his hands, Hiccup takes a look at what the choice is for today.

It's a collection of fairy tales. Not the dark stories like from the brothers Grimm and such, but their sanitized versions considered more "child-friendly."

"Okay, Vigi, what're we reading today?" Hiccup asks as they read the table of contents together.

"That one!" Tiny's finger immediately settles on that of The Three Little Pigs and Hiccup smiles before turning the pages to that exact one. Finding the right story, he begins.

Or rather, Tiny has another coughing fit and then he begins to read.

At six years old, his son is at the age in which he can read along a little. There's a school that he goes to, but even after work, Hiccup still takes some extra time out of his day to teach his son how to read and write and how to do math. When there isn't a lot to do at the workshop, Gobber doesn't mind it if he takes an hour to teach Vigi during the day. The boy likes to watch his father work.

"And he says-" Just as he's about to break out a third little pig's voice, Tiny interrupts him.

"What's that say?" He asks, no longer paying attention to the overall story as he's trying to decipher a particular word. He knows his letters, he knows what they sound like, yet he doesn't know this word and wouldn't know how to say it or what it means.

"It's-" when Hiccup wants to respond, his son has another coughing fit. It doesn't sound like a congestive cough, but that's what it could turn into.

Waiting until he's finished, Hiccup answers his question before continuing on with the fairy tale. Or cautionary tale, as that's what they used to be.

He tries to dismiss the fits. Astrid often tells him that he's "too worried" and "should let their son breathe." And if she were home, she would probably tell him that it's just a little cough. People often cough, especially down here. That doesn't necessarily mean that something has to be wrong.

Yet the next time a fit comes, Hiccup immediately pauses to place a hand on his son's forehead. He doesn't feel particularly warm. Just to be sure, he leans down to press his cheek to his forehead instead. Vigi lets him, though the craning of his neck makes another series of coughs erupt from his throat.

His dad pulls away from him when they do and simply watches as his eldest has to practically fold in half just to cough. He doesn't have a fever, not yet at least, but Hiccup has already decided that he might see a doctor with him tomorrow. Astrid is right, he does have a tendency of getting overprotective, but that might not be the case this time.

Once the story is finished, interrupted once or twice more by another fit, Hiccup closes the book and puts it aside. Tiny still in his lap, he wraps his arms around him. His eyes are slipping closed, he's falling asleep.

"Come on," Hiccup kisses the top of his head. "You're sleeping in my bed tonight.

Author's Notes: Here it is! Technically the final chapter of this fic! :')

I'm so happy that I got to write this entire thing in the span of a single week and that I was able to share it with you all here.

Also, please appreciate the HOURS of research I put into this thing! It was a lot! I went to bed with certain tabs and woke up to read them in bed, like almost a whole 24 hours were spend on just research alone. I even studied an actual case of a 20 weeks pregnant woman with a pelvic fracture that was a success story. Success story as in both her and her baby boy lived as most cases end in tragedy for the unborn baby and in general there really isn't a lot of data about pregnant people and these kinds of fractures suffered in pregnancy.

I'll be posting the epilogue later today, too. It feels kind of dumb to let that sit for another week.

Enjoy!

Up and down the docks he paces, baby in a sling, though that doesn’t stop Hiccup from having his arms around his son. It’s been a challenge, taking care of a merchild outside of the ocean. Air isn’t the problem. In their true form, they have both lungs as well as gills, it’s a natural consequence of their double life. But something Hiccup never thought he would have to worry about is his child getting sick from dehydration.

He dehydrates, he gets a pair of legs. His son dehydrates, he could die. It takes at least a year before a merperson can walk on land. Even in the sling, his cute baby boy has all his fins, his webbed hands and tail on full display.

That is, if someone were to take a look inside. Which he doesn’t allow. The people of this town get a peek of his face to coo at and that is all they get.

Eret has had to tell him to stop hissing at people.

But Eret, he is currently his biggest concern. Their son, named Vigi, has recently been bathed and he’ll be okay for another hour or two. Meanwhile, his mate should’ve come back from his fishing trip by now. It’s getting late and he can feel the storm on the wind. He can feel it in his stump now, too.

Rippling in the water grabs his attention and he nears the edge to take a look. Down below, he spots a silhouette that he’s very familiar with; another merperson. He can’t help but smile.

Taking a look around, the last of the fishermen are finishing up with their boats. Beyond them, the docks are abandoned. It is very late. After the last one shoots him a look and a wave, which he’s learned to return, Hiccup sits down on the edge and a blond head that he knows pokes out of the water. It’s Astrid. She waited until it was safe, too.

Very sharp fangs greet him as she smiles brightly. Fangs he shares, that’s why he doesn’t smile too widely.

She’s happy, she can’t remember the last time she saw him. Before spotting him on the docks, she worried he’d been killed. But no, he hasn’t. And not only hasn’t he been killed, but he has a child!

Hiccup doesn’t waste a second, he takes his one month old out of his sling to present to Astrid, lowering him until he rests in her hands. Holding him securely, she coos at the infant, testing his fins across his body and at the end of his tail for strength. She’s happy with how sturdy they appear.

What a twist today was for her. Not only did she find out her childhood friend wasn’t dead this whole time, but he also has a child!

Hiccup watches them with a smile, hoping he can introduce her to his mate once he comes home.

Author's Notes: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! A whole week of work (including a full day of just research, lol) and 10 weeks of posting, here we are! At the epilogue! And I hope you enjoyed this journey as much as I did. ❤️

[howtowhumpyourhiccup]

Same anon (and anon because I'm scared), but it's my genuine belief that Hiccup should have a child with all the other dragon riders and even characters like Viggo, Dagur, Camicazi and even Eret as he's a good chief and a good chief carries on these lines 😁 ensuring the future of his island 😁

Hey, going on anon is totally valid! (Except for when it's used for hate like some users do.)

And haha, that is a good reason for loving Pregcup! Chieftains need to continue their line!

Personally, the appeal for me is that Hiccup is just so dad-shaped. (At least personality-wise) Or mom-shaped if you take a liking to the good old genderbend AU. I've also headcanoned for a long time that, out of all the Riders, he's the one who wants a family the most. (Headcanoning that Snotlout is the second most likeliest to want that.)

But also... He's the Dragon Master. And because his mother literally has this innate understanding of dragons despite not even raising Hiccup herself, I just also like to headcanon that it's in his blood, which means I like to headcanon that any kids coming from him would be born with that innate ability, too. Which means that, if anyone who is familiar with my most reoccuring Httyd OC, Tiny, has that as well.

It's very good material for all sorts of fic ideas, both whump and otherwise. I should delve in it more!

As for the Viggo, Eret, Dagur and the Dragon Riders things, literally why I've made it so that Tiny looks the most like Hiccup. So pretty much anyone can be his other dad, pretty much whoever I've decided to ship Hiccup with in a particular fic.

[howtodrawyourdragon]

Here's the song, lol.

I'm not sure what else to tell you about this, though. Hiccup went dark for reasons I don't know yet, he's way more in-tune with dragons than he is with other human beings and cares mostly about the well-being of them and his close loved ones.

The Dragon Riders are still a thing because I want them to be. Tiny is considered his heir to his throne as Dragon Master, but he's just much too kind-hearted for the harshness that it requires to go against the world for dragonkind. This is something Hiccup might be blind to.

I was listening to a metal cover of My Lullaby from TLK2 and thought of a Dark!Hiccup AU with Tiny.

Oh???? Tell me more.

Also, you can't just say that there's a metal cover of a song from The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride and NOT SHARE with the class, Mel!!!
