    Summary

    - I saw Stoick last week.
    Camicazi might not have been the best person to read someone’s behavior, but she noticed how Hiccup’s body stiffened.
    - Really?
    - Yes. I went with my mother to Berk. Something about a trade agreement over something.
    - Over something? What a fine heir. – he said mocking her.
    As if -he-, who had run away from Berk, had any kind of moral ground to comment on her behavior as an heir.
    - Stoick is pretty desperate.
    He turned to her, a confused look stamped on his face.
    - My father desperate? Stoick?
    - Yes. Stoick. Berk is in Drago’s sights.

    ---

    Hiccup never wanted the chieftainship and always had a thirst for knowledge. Toothless gave him wings to achieve everything he had always wanted. When he fled Berk, he never imagined he would end up involved in a war of hunters, and that this war would bring him back to Berk more than five years later.

    Not as Hiccup, but as the living legend of the Dragon Master, the one responsible for putting an end to the attacks on the islands of the archipelago.

    Summary

    "Shiro wakes to pain. It’s a huge dark mass, pressing behind his eyes, in his nose, his mouth, his throat, forcing his skull apart. He’s scared to move. If he lifts his head his skull will splinter to pieces. He’s terrified that he’ll find shards of it beneath his hands."

    For the prompt: "Self-surgery" for the Bad Things Happen Bingo.

    Summary

    In which Shiro starts to heal, gets a boyfriend, takes a nap, and finally goes to therapy. Not exactly in that order.

    Or a semi-canon compliant account of how Shiro and Curtis fall in love. Since, y'know, we were denied all of that.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of averting the apocalypse, some take the chance to heal, others inherited a kingdom's worth of responsibilities, some decide to better themselves. Marcille? Is just a bit... very, lost.

    A post-story character exploration of Marcille and the Touden's role in the world and how that affects their relationship, plus a bridge to the epilogue... and maybe a little bit more!

    Summary

    “It’s all I can do, okay? There just isn’t enough of her left to resurrect anymore. She’s too corrupted, I can’t make a functional human body out of this.” She rests her hand gingerly on Farlyn’s scaly hide for emphasis. “This way, at least… At least I could save some part of her, you know?” Marcille’s eyes are red and teary as she looks at Laius, like she expects him to understand.
