Collin chucked at Tay’s reaction.

“Yeah, they know. They got back the day after we told everybody. Athena was insisting to be home for the birth and hatching. Vio is trying to hid his excitement but he’s a happy Octo; his first great grand child. He’s picked up the morning work to let Lulu rest cause she’s dealing with a lot of morning sickness,” Collin explained.

“That being said, I’m over the moon. Being told your infertile for like forever, it was a shock to all of us. Our squishy. My kid,” Collin continues with a happy chuckle, “Though right now Lulu wants to keep things on the low. Only family and friends knowing.”

“Glad to hear it—I figured Vio would be a big softy about it if it’s Lulu.” Tay smiles at the thought. “Nice of him to come home to take care of things.”

“We’ve gots to make sures there is lotsa colour or the bees wont come” Nero instructed his little sister. Myra was only 5 years old. Nero being older at 7, was all to happy to share is extra 2 years off worldly experience with his sibling. 

They were sat out in the garden of thier country estate home, working on the construction of a bee sanctuary. Fleur had let them both watch a new documentary on how the bees were starting to disappear in the world, and their habitat was being ruined by housing developments and such. Myra and Nero had made a pact that night, under their blanket fort, in the light of his power rangers flashlight, to save the bees. 

2 weeks later and they had transformed a small corner of the pristine lawn (much to Josiahs irk) into a muddy circle of wild flowers to help feed the local bees. But so far they were yet to see any bees visit their new attraction, so had begun to rearrange and add more wild flowers. Some had been collected by Fleur, and a few even came from their big brother Marcus. He hated bees.. but Nero was unrelenting in his task and hounded him until he finally agreed to help out. 

The sun had set over Cuttlefish Cabin, but Finn had no intention of going home. He had a job to do, after all, he’d promised, and Octavio wasn’t going to watch himself.

. . . Not that it felt like there was much point, as earlier Marie had put a large sheet over the globe, and the Octarian prisoner had long settled off to sleep. Because of this, instead of focusing on watching guard, the young Inkling busied himself with sewing up a tattered Zapfish dummy. It was a mindless task, but it beat laying awake at home and staring at the ceiling for hours on end.

Hearing someone arrive, he adjusted his glasses (this wasn’t any hour to still be wearing contact lenses) and looked up – maybe Marie had forgotten something, and come back? To his surprise, however, it was the other Squid Sister.

“Oh- Callie, hi! Were you looking for your cousin? She uh, she just left, sorry. Had to record a late-night podcast, I think. There’s a few crabby cakes leftover in the cabin if you want anything to eat though, uh…”

Finn awkwardly trials off, he hadn’t exactly had a real conversation with Callie after the showdown below ground – and before that, even. He’d wanted to show that he had no hard feelings by being polite, but as a result, they’d not spoken about it since, or at all. He wasn’t even entirely clear on her situation or motives, since he’d been too occupied patching things up with Molly.

HTTYD Rare Pair Week 2018 will be from the 27th of October to the 2nd of November.

This year, we’re going with two sets of prompts again! This time we have a trope & a phrase. You can used either of the two prompts (separated by the “//”), or try using both, whatever you’d like - the alternatives exist to give you a bigger scope to work with. Some prompts are from this prompt list. They are as follows:

27th Oct: Non-human characters // “Can’t you listen to me?” 28th Oct: Soulmates AU // “I don’t need this now.” 29th Oct: Fake relationship //  “Quit it or I’ll bite.” 30th Oct: Character death //  “Please don’t leave me now.” 31st Oct: Amnesia // “I haven’t forgotten you yet.” 1st Nov: Slice of life (naturalism)  // “So, did you miss me?” 2nd Nov: Pining // “Even if you still do.”

What is HTTYD Rare Pair Week?

It’s annual prompt week event, that started in 2016, to celebrate the rare pairs within the HTTYD franchise. Rare pairs are defined as any pair that is rare within the fandom, i.e. ships with a small fan base.

How do I participate? By creating fanworks of any kind (e.g. fanfic, art, edits, playlists, etc) for as many of the prompts you like, for any rare pairs you like and on the actual posting day, post your contribution tagged #httydrarepairweek or #httydrarepairweek2018. There’s no limit to which prompts you do, or how many times you do a prompt or for which rare pair you do them for. The works can be in canon, or alternate universes or whatever. Enjoy creating!
