Local Dumbass Cryptid

Close-ups and inspiration photo:

Hiccup didn’t remember the last time he visited this shore North of Berk, near Göthi’s house, nor did he remember the last time he played in any water simply for the sake of it. It was Jack’s doing, of course, that he was here now. Unsteadily, he followed the boy, careful to keep his metal foot from sinking too far into the sand.

Jack laughed as he cartwheeled into the shallow water, splashing it towards the Night Fury. Toothless bound up and followed his lead, nipping at the water, chasing droplets with his forked tongue.

“Hey, you can see me!”

Cuddling, getting married and aging together 💗

Of the Northmost Winds and Skies - written by @jjackfrost

The moonlight hit Jack’s shimmering eyes, and Hiccup felt as if his body had been frozen. He opened his mouth and the first thing that came out was a sheepish laugh. Jack’s smile widened, and in the next moment they were both laughing. Toothless made an exasperated noise, which just made them dissolve into giggles all over again. - Chapter 20

How did Hiccup spend his thousand + years as a spirit?

This question has been swirling in my mind for more than a month.

Of course chapter 43 of OTNWAS destroyed me (in the best way, kudos to @jjackfrost for creating THE masterpiece <3) I really needed to let my feelings out and bring Hiccup's past to light.

There are some scenes with Jack, but I intentionally decided to focus on the first thousand years of Hiccup and Toothless as wind spirits and Hiccup's life on Berk, with his family and friends. And the loss that came with it.

Every time they pressed their foreheads together or Jack leaned his chin on Hiccup's shoulder; I died...

Sunny afternoons

Oh, bird that signals the break of dawn, Couldn't you have time stop at this moment? Shooting star that gently goes through the morning, Please fall down here oh, fly me to the star Please take me along, oh, fly me to the star

Can I offer you a Hijack X-Men AU…

Jack can conjure ice, frost, snow etc (of course), but he can’t fly. Hiccup can shapeshift into a dragon, partially or completely.

Most of the time, Hiccup does what he can to look human, withdrawing all of his dragon traits and only bringing them out when they’re training or on a mission (though his scales react emotionally and tend to appear whenever Jack catches him off guard, whoops). He can’t fly (yet) while mostly human, so he rarely brings out his wings unless he’s fully shapeshifted. Besides the shapeshifting, Hiccup is also able to shoot fire from his mouth and has an eternal fire within him that keeps him nice and toasty.

They’re stark opposites with their powers and quickly discover that they are the only other mutants able to handle the temperatures the other can rise or fall to. There will be times when either of them loses control, and they’re the only ones who can get close enough to calm the other down without getting killed. They can still get hurt, though.
