It was Valisblot, the day of the year celebrating Freya, the patron goddess of love. But Toothless, the alpha dragon and best friend of Chief Hiccup, left everything completely cold. He felt alone, as he had so many times in his life, yes he had Hiccup, Astrid, Stormfly and the other dragons, but that wasn't the same as having someone from his own species who had also lost their families and their homeland in the hundreds of massacres , which had started from a single man, had lost. Nobody was there anymore. No one. Toothless had greatly appreciated his best friend's help when they had set out for the Isle of Night to search for other Night Furies, but this had turned out to be a fatal mistake. None of his fellows were alive anymore.

So he sat alone like every year, only this time a little higher and even more alone, because he was now the alpha dragon and had to keep order in case a dragon couple got out of control with their lovemaking, which was definitely the case last year with Hookfang and a little blue nightmare female. Were they set a barn on fire. Luckily Vikings weren’t out of control when they made love.

Lost in thought, Toothless watched as Hiccup and Astrid danced around the large fire in the middle of the village; in Berk it was tradition for the chief to dance his own chosen dance in front of the fire with his future wife on Saint Freyja's Day. Hiccup had had a warm fur cloak made especially for this occasion with which he would hug Astrid at the end of their dance and promise her that he would always protect her. People always dress up for such occasions, which is probably why Astrid chose today, instead of her usual warrior-like style, a flowing blue dress decorated with silver embroidery and a matching belt. Sometimes Toothless wondered what love felt like, he knew Hiccup loved him, but not the way he loved Astrid. There was a clear difference that Toothless had always noticed.

He wanted someone who would look at him the way Astrid looked at Hiccup, someone who would rule alongside him, someone who would feel the same love and affection for him that Hiccup and Astrid felt for each other. But this is a silly wish, which would never come true. If he liked it or not, there was no one left out there. Everyone was gone. Toothless‘ remembers the tayle his mother always used to tell, about a hidden world out in the ocean, at the end of the world, were dragons can be safe and drive. The hidden world, the home of all dragons. Once the cradle of his species. What a pathetic tayle, such world doesn’t exist. This was just a simple fairytale.

At that moment, Toothless didn't know that his life would change forever in the next few months.

Chapter 16: Zephyr Wishes She Studied Better For This Test

Read here: AO3 | FF.net

A/N: Hello my lovely readers! We’re a little late this week because exams had to take priority the last two weeks again. But hopefully I’ll be able to catch up again in the next two weeks! Also quick reminder that I have opened up my discord server with my betas to readers as well, and we already have a couple readers that have joined! Invite link will be posted at the end of the last chapter on AO3 and in my tumblr bio :) Enjoy!

Zephyr knew from her earliest years that she would be the one to take her father’s place as Chief. Well, Chieftess. Whether the people of New Berk were ready for a change like that or not. Unfortunately, it seems that more people were not ready for that change than she had hoped. But with a new threat slashing its way through the Archipelago, eyes set on New Berk and the secrets that flew away 2 years before Zephyr was born, she would have the chance to prove herself to her people soon enough. Whether she was ready for a change like that or not.

~Chapter 16~

Zephyr was... A little overwhelmed.

But she couldn’t show it. She was Chief now.

Well, acting Chief.

But the only difference was that the title wasn’t permanent.

Well...

She prayed to the gods it wasn’t, at least.

The minute the words, “Acting Chief it is,” left her father’s lips, things picked up in a flurry of activity rather quickly. Fishlegs was off to take detailed inventory of the island’s supplies. Hiccup and Eret began an in-depth discussion on the ideal number of ships and crewmen to prepare. Ruffnut ran to find Tuffnut in order to catch him up on the rest of the meeting he missed and help him finish his own inventory. Snotlout and Astrid hounded Atali for more detailed information regarding the enemy chief and his tribe in order to determine what kind of attack they needed to prepare for, if any, while Zephyr watched.

And it seems like only moments later they were all back in the same room, spouting off all of the determinations they each individually made of their assigned duties. Instant adjustments were made, points were argued, options were debated, round and round in circles until everyone agreed on the action plan. It felt like the planning took all night, but in reality it lasted only a few hours. Eventually they all agreed, if a bit hesitantly, that Hiccup and Eret would command two ships with minimal crew in order to maximize the amount of space for supplies and eventually Outcasts refugees. One ship would have been preferred by Eret, as it would have made them more maneuverable in case they ran into the enemy, but ultimately it was decided they simply couldn’t fit everything on one ship. They hoped the massive size of the enemy ship - according to Atali’s recollection - would give them the advantage.

If Zephyr was being honest, the thought of crossing paths with the enemy ships never occurred to her.

- Zephyr had gotten her father's dry sarcasm and whenever the two had a chance they would be sarcastic to each other, gobber doesn't mind it but it irks astrid sometimes.

- Astrid and hiccup (literally everyone in berk) almost killed snotlout, when nuffink heard him say 'fuck' and when the kid suddenly said it. Fortunately and to everyone's relief they managed to tell the kid that it's not right to say that and made him stop.

- Nuffink's green curious eyes always remind hiccup of toothless's curious one and whenever nuffink's gives a puppy dog eyes, hiccup just gives in and let the kid have what he wanted, cause it reminds him so much of his best friend.

- Zephyr was not really into weapons but when she first tried bow and arrow, she didn't expect she'll love it. Apparently she has a high accuracy and it didn't take a while since she become one of the vikings who is good at archery.

- Hair braiding session is common occurance in the haddock household, astrid and valka just loves to braid everyones hair, sometimes hiccup would go do his chiefly routine with his hair half a mess cause of braids.

- Astrid had cut her hair short after giving birth to nuffink. ( i liked the hc that one tumblr user (forgot its username) made on how nuffink got his name the one astrid almost died after child birth.) cutting hair in viking represent that they honor someone and they have changed. And astrid doing this, is to honor odin for giving her a new life that she still can spend with her family and she had changed, that she had become more understanding on what is to become a mother and a chieftess.

- and after having a short hair , she and nuffink started to look like a spitting image of each other, the only difference is nuffink is a babe and his green eyes.

- after the dragons had left, hiccup and the riders had stopped wearing and hid their flying glidders , it seems that wearing it brings back old memories and also using it without any dragons to catch them is extremely dangerous, that's why it almost frightened hiccup and the others when their children had found this treasure and begged them on how to use it.

Why!? Why do you want to read something so heartbreaking!? And why am I delivering?

I don’t know which circle of Hell you’ve come out of, and I don’t know which one I belong in for actually writing it. But I guess we’re in this together now.

May the Valkyries Welcome Her

They’d only just returned from visiting the dragons for the fourth time. They went once a year; the first time had been when Zephyr had just turned six. She’d been delighted to see them then, and she had been just as happy this time around. Smiling, cheering, spending all day with Toothless or one of the Night Lights, unable to let go of them even when they weren’t in the air. But they never should’ve gone to the Hidden World in the first place.

Hiccup had been in their kitchen, having breakfast while seeing to it that Nuffink didn’t break down the rest of their house. The boy had all of Astrid’s energy, but none of her sense of responsibility – something that would come with time, he hoped.

Astrid’s voice had alerted him. “Hiccup.”

It’d been short, yet urgent, the kind of tone she only used when something was wrong and she didn’t want the kids to notice. Anxious but trying not to be too concerned, he’d walked to his daughter’s room, where Astrid had been getting Zephyr ready for the day.

He’d found his wife looking at him with her big blue eyes, the shock and fear clear in them. Before he’d been able to open his mouth, Zephyr had escaped her mother’s hold, running into him and proudly showing him her arm.

“Daddy, look! I have spots too, just like the dragons!”

Vanished

Summary: Hiccup suddenly loses his leg. Based off this post I made.

               It was early morning as he stared into the rising sun. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, the Chief of New Berk and the Hairy Hooligan tribe was tired and numb. He honestly wished he was back in bed with his beautiful wife but no. He was out here next to a cliff tops far away from the village trying to get himself mentally ready for the long exhausting day ahead of him. So much had to be done and there wasn’t enough time in the day to finish it all nor was there enough of him to go around. Usually, Astrid would help him with the workload but with her close to the end of her pregnancy she was more inclined to stay around the house nowadays. He was a little jealous of that. She was able to spend time with their little girl and tell people off and chalk it all up to hormones and no one would bat an eye. A loud sigh erupted from him as he plopped down in the grass.

               “Why can’t I just get a day off?” He thought, “Just one day not being Chief.” Another groan left him as he dragged his hand down his face and through his beard. “If only there was an excuse I could use not to work today.” He tapped on his prosthetic trying to think of something. Then the idea struck him and a Grinch-like smile spread across his face.

Astrid, Hiccup and the kids stay in touch with Toothless and Glitter Bae and the little furies.

I told you I won’t shut up about HTTYD3 -- we will all ganna think about it together.  (please just let me post my ideas here cause i need it to be released this is ganna be long)

    - The hooligans didn’t went back to old berk, they as well become mystery to the rest of the   world, this thought went in my mind considering that they really want to protect the dragons.    ( And they couldn’t go back to old berk without any boats or resources so they settled in the   new berk. ) This made them to become one of the most mysterious vikings, to the point that   new generations of vikings , believed that they never existed, that they were descendant of    Odin or they were the children of dragons, that they were half humans - half dragon since the   rumor of them being able to fly is wide spread.

  - After the dragons have left , the riders would usually hang out on the cliff where they had   last seen their dragon friends. This gathering happened usually happens before nightfall  and they would always tell stories of their time together. The stories being told consist of  their first dragon ride, their dragon’s personality, the way they spend time together, the --   way they sleep, their first snoggletog with them , the first flight to edge , the first fight , the  dragon racing and many, many more. Usually it was Fishleg who starts this conversations  but as time passed, it was snotlout who always talk a lot  & he was the one who usually -  gets extremely emotional. ( He is a softiee inside, fight me. )

 - As much as I want it to be astrid who comforts Hiccup when he woke up from a nightmare and going out to looking for Toothless but there was no toothless. I think it was more of --- valka who does that , whenever Hiccup wakes up, her mother is awake and the two would just talk about random things until it’s morning. (cause she knew that hiccup won’t be able to fall asleep again.)  This habit continued on and on , valka being there gives sense of --- comfort to the berk’s chief this didn’t stop even when he was wedded to astrid, instead -  they even invited astrid to join them whenever one of them is having nightmares.

 - After the wedding of hiccup and Astrid,  fishleg and ruffnut got married as well. The wedding  was all of sudden ,  since ruffnut was all “ We were married anyways, at some point in our--  lives, but it’s not really official , so we are making it official. “ and the chief and chieftess was  beyond confused on what they were talking about but in the end they bestowed their blessing  to the two and was more than happy to see that two of their friends was happy.

 -  Astrid and Hiccup got zephyr after 3 years of marriage  ( I believe that they returned to the  hidden world when they were around 31 or 32 )  Astrid and hiccup was 24 years old by then & during her first pregnancy , valka and hiccup was very hands on and protective towards her ,  since gothi had told that it would be tough for astrid. Tough considering that they thought that the child would be another hiccup, but what really gothi meant is though cause the child is --- rather very energetic and always move inside her mother’s tummy.

-  When Zephyr was born everyone in berk falls in love with her immediately, they would spoil     the kid rotten by sending weapons ( yes and by weapons i mean to weapons ) , they were    happy that there were additional shield maiden into their tribe and with zephyr being around    it helped heal the missing hole in the berkians heart ( not totally of course but it healed some)    fortunately, as Hiccup told himself, the girl had inherited her father’s hobby, which is craft &     build things, she also loves to play dragons with fishlegs and fishleg’s twin daughter & son.

-   Zephyr was 3 years old when Nuffink was conceived , and as much as i want to think that    it was tuffnut who named the boy , i think it was zephyr who had named him instead I ,    think zephyr had heard so many stories about him and toothless being separated, & having   nuffink , who was a boy, made zephyr a bit worried that he might leave their dad as well ---   ( cause guys come one zephyr is 3 and constantly hearing from her uncles that toothless left   she assumed that all boys will leave, so she childishly and innocently thinks she hates boys),   so when astrid asked for her daughter’s idea, zephyr just blurted out a stuttered ‘ nuffink ’ --   instead of nothing , so this time nuffink will separate us from dad , just like the others and this   made hiccup a bit teary eyed, cause of the sincerity and concern zephyr has for her father. 

-  When zephyr hit 8 years of age and nuffink hit the age of 5, the two would almost stick to one    another, would play together and sleep together. The two had become close (except the ----    time when nuffink was born , almost baby zephyr would get jealous cause momma astrid is     busy with her lil brother and she was sent under the care of her grandma. ) and nuffink is --    becoming more and more of her mother, but more gentle and diplomatic, he was protective    of his big sister in his small odd ways, like always walking behind her and whenever zephyr    gets excited or stumbles (since he was always hiding behind her big sister) , he would grab    her cape, sometimes braids to keep her from falling or hitting something.
