Summary: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III has lived nearly seventeen years of life. In the span of those years, he’s moved twelve times. Five of those years his mother was alive. Then a tragic accident left Hiccup in the sole care of his father, Stoick Haddock. Berk was where he had been born. That much he knew.  Over every, single, move his father put him through, it wasn’t until he reached sixteen years old that Berk was the city in which the father finally decided to plant roots. At least, that was what he claimed. After years of being victimized at each school he attended, Hiccup was determined to keep a low profile at Berk High. His past is intent on preying upon him, deciding that Berk was perfect place to come back into the light. However, like all good things that came to him, there was always something to drag him back down into the pit of despair. A dormant secret, tied into his family history, was ultimately brought into the light when Hiccup settles on Berk. A secret tied with guilt and tears, and it all goes downhill from there. He discovered what his father truly did those long stretch of years, and finds he has a gift that had been nonexistent for centuries.

Ch. 34: He Should Have Known

It hadn't been enough to knock him out. However, the electric shocks were certainly enough to keep him incapacitated. Enough to keep him on the floor, unable to move, as they did the same to his son and took him out of the house. He managed to smash a couple of fists into the floor, roar at the departing men at promised revenge, but he could not prevent the deed. He heard the door click shut, their descent to the sidewalk. He managed to heave his torso off the ground, using his arms to drag his uncooperative legs to the window. He latched a hand to the curtains and whisked them open.

Letting what existed of the moonlight seep into the dim living room as they went toward a car parked in front of the house. Stoick tried to drag himself upward, but instead was met with a throbbing pain in his lower torso. Feeling as if somehow the prongs were still connected to his body. Through semi-glazed vision, he saw the men bind his son then place him in the trunk. Four men. The bastard had brought four men to subdue him and take his son hostage.

How could he have not seen this coming? He'd remembered what had occurred the year before. Viggo was the culprit. But it was only that. He hadn't gone any further than just stealing that from Tomorrow. Since nothing had been done with it for at least a year Tomorrow had just assumed it wasn't of much worth to the crime lord. Stoick reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone with a trembling hand. Opening his contacts then glancing at a favorited number.

He was just short of pressing call when he realized it was dangerous. Viggo must’ve already been inside for at least an hour. If his infiltration had been the reason why Hiccup had sent the jumbled text. Stoick watched the car drive away with his son trapped inside, and came to switch apps to message his friend.

“Gobber I need you to come to the house. And to contact Mala and Throk and have them come as well. This merits a state of emergency for Tomorrow.    ”

Tagged by the awesome @howtowhumpyourhiccup, thank you very much :)

How many works do you have on AO3?

I currently have 18 works.

What is your AO3 Word Count?

My AO3 word count is 179,351.

How many fandoms have you written for what are they?

The fandoms I have written for are HTTYD and Danny Phantom.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Top 5 Fics:

1. The Boy with a Strange Name

2. Face Amidst the Smoke

3. Taking Unusual Form

4. Turned Dragon Rider

5. Not Yet Obsolete

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do try to respond to comments the best I can. Admittedly that means I leave a lot unresponded too, but it’s because I struggle with figuring out the best way to respond. I make far too big a deal of it.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I would have to say the one with the angstiest ending is One Dies Tonight. It’s the only one-shot I’ve written w/ character death.

Do you write crossovers?

I don’t have any published right now, but I do guarantee you there are plenty in the making. Just gonna say it’s HTTYD crossed over with others.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I have not gotten any. Perhaps an intense comment, but nothing so much so I’ve had to delete. 

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I do not write smut. I have tried to, but cannot manage to get the words out.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

To my knowledge, I have not.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

If one of my fics has been translated, I am not in knowledge of it.

What’s your all time favorite ship?

Hehehehehe my all time favorite ship is Vigcup, Viggo Grimborn/ Hiccup Haddock the Third.

What’s a WIP you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

There is one I have, that’s left rather undone. The idea started from me noticing in HTTYD 2 that Stoick’s hand practically covered half of Hiccup’s face. Began to think of something where Stoick would be antagonistic toward Hiccup. I think it’s best to just leave in digital dust.

What are your writing strengths?

I would say my writing strength is having a knack of creating cliffhangers, even if not intentional.

What are your writing weaknesses?

I am much too slow of a writer. It’s also why I have so many WIPs sitting in my files. My dialogue always feels wavery and I go to too far of an extent for a description.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Admittedly I am all for it. However only with languages I’m comfortable with. I definitely want to wind in some Spanish into my fics, and honestly cannot recall right now if I have done so already. I also considering endeavoring upon an idea one day where Hiccup speaks Spanish fluently. 

What was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

The first fandom I ever wrote for was Heroes of Olympus. I want to go as far as saying the Riordanverse.

What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?

My favorite fic that I’ve written, and am still working on, is The Boy with a Strange Name. It’s my oldest fic and it’s definitely the one that I’ve done a lot of worldbuilding for.

Ch. 1: Welcome to Berk

"Son, you need to get a move on. You'll have time to greet the neighbors another day."

He glanced back at his father, adjusting the two boxes he held in his arms. The street was quiet, and the only people he could see were on the other end of the block, conversing in murmurs. Arriving a little after noon, he could guess why there weren't many cars scattered around the block. If there were any other kids living on this block, they were in school. He turned away from the sidewalk, and faced the home that was going to be his twelfth residence.

"Dad, I don't see why you had to get such a big house. That house looks like 5 people could live there and there would still be spare space."

"It's the family home Hiccup. Been in the Haddock's possession for generations."

"Then why haven't we lived  in the family home?"

"You know the answer to that."

"Yeah I do, but why all over the Archipelago but Berk?"

"My job means travel Hiccup. I do however, have some good news for you. I can say this will be our permanent stay."

"Let me guess." Hiccup blew away the bangs over his eyes as he walked past his father. "We move any more and we lose the house."

He didn't need to look back to know his father's response. He knew he was right. Hiccup and his father had been lugging boxes back and forth. The moving truck wasn't due to arrive until the next day, so Hiccup would be confined to a sleeping bag for the night. He just had to hope that this home had central heating. He shuddered at the memory of when they had moved to a mobile home in the city of Skullion four years ago. He and his father, Stoick Haddock, or Stoick the Vast as family friends and relatives called him, had spent their first week living in a freezing home.
