Frosted Over Caretaking

Fandom: How To Train Your Dragon & Rise of the Guardians

Pairing: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III/Jack Frost

Rating: General Audiences

Warning/Tag(s): No Archive Warnings Apply, Sick, Vikings

Summary: Spending every free and waking moment with a spirit who had control over everything ice and snow was sure to have some downsides. Hiccup just didn't know what these downsides would be until he was forced to bedrest as the effects of staying in the cold finally caught up with him. It probably didn't help that said reason as to why he was sick was sticking around to make sure he got better.

Event(s): @eclipsingbingo with 'sick' | @fandom-free-bingo with 'offering their jacket'

Can be read here

A loud sniffle escaping his nose was not how Hiccup expected to start his day.

With groggy eyes and difficulty breathing in through his nose, Hiccup attempted to start his day like he would any other. Toothless greeted him like he normally did; large, slobbering licks being smeared across his body as the dragon worked himself up, getting ready for one of their usual morning flights.

It was only when Toothless took in the sluggish movements of Hiccup that he realised something may have been wrong with his human. It looked as if constant chills were jumping down Hiccup's spine, his bottom lip trembling even though their hut was overly warm due to Toothless' preferences, and the-

"Achoo!"

The loud exclaim from Hiccup almost shook the room, the sudden forced exhale sending him stumbling back a few steps. Startling back himself, Toothless stared at Hiccup in shock, keeping the distance that the Viking had created.

"Sorry about that Bud," Hiccup groaned, burying his head in his hands for a few seconds before scrubbing them down. Trying to hobble over to the Night Fury, Hiccup reaches a hand over to try and graze it across Toothless' scales but he falls short. Stumbling forward, Hiccup would've been met with the hard wooden floor if it wasn't for Toothless rushing forward, catching him with his head. "Woah, thanks for that."

A low trilling sound trails out of Toothless' throat in answer. Helping Hiccup stand to the best of his ability, Toothless walks him back to his bed, trying to shoo him back at it. For a few moments, Hiccup can only stare at Toothless, the two of them doing an odd dance as Hiccup tries to continue forward while Toothless pushes him back.

It was only when Hiccup fell back onto the bed that Toothless seemed to relax, giving a quick growl when Hiccup attempted to get up. Sitting back on his own hunches, Toothless stared at Hiccup as he thought, making sure the Viking didn't try to attempt anything while he was still sitting there.

Staring at his human was enough to have his mind racing with different possibilities as to how he had gotten sick. Though Berk was slowly starting to near some of its colder seasons even though berk was always cold, Hiccup always wore an appropriate amount of layers, but even then he always had Toothless by his side so it wasn't likely that only the cold had started getting to him.

That was when a certain frost-covered spirit came to mind, one that had been spending too much time around Hiccup in Toothless' opinion. A soft grumble sank out of Toothless as he realised what had caused the sudden sickness to take over Hiccup.

Standing abruptly, Toothless rounds on himself and makes his way for the door, not listening to the confused calls that Hiccup tries to choke out as he uses his tail to slam the door behind himself.

On a mission, Toothless began wandering through the village. It was hard not to get distracted, Vikings and Dragons alike trying to catch his attention, some of them thinking Hiccup was with him since the two were almost always with one another. However, with the guise that Hiccup was with him, it didn't take long for the white-haired spirit to hunt him down.

"Toothless," Jack proudly yells, flying over to the dragon in his normal getup and the hooked stick that never left his side. His ice-blue eyes flashed over Toothless and then all around him, looking for Hiccup no doubt. "Where's my favourite Viking? Not that you're not my favourite dragon."

Letting out a loud rumble, not that Jack could understand what he was saying, Toothless rounded on himself and started waddling back to his hut. Certain that the spirit was following closely behind him, Toothless picked up his speed slightly, taking small hops to elongate his strides.

It didn't take long to get back to his and Hiccup's hut. Luckily the door was still shut from when Toothless had left, Hiccup not having been able to leave, whether he tried and failed or realised what was good for him and stayed in bed.

Waiting at the door, Toothless let Jack open the door, the spirit slightly worried about the sudden change in scenery and how there was still no sight of Hiccup.

Stepping into the building, Jack comes face to face with a sniffly Hiccup, the Viking trying and failing to make himself something to eat.

"Hiccup?" Jack questioned as he stepped into the hut, almost shutting the door on Toothless' muzzle. In a barked-out laugh, Jack asked, "What's happened to you? You look terrible."

"Thanks," He said dryly, sparing the boy hardly a glance, more than accustomed to his presence by now. Attempting to start a controlled fire, when continuous failure was shoved into Hiccup's face, he finally turned to Jack. "If you're going to invade my house can you at least make yourself useful?"

"You say that like I've never been anything but a nuisance," Jack joked as he stepped over to Hiccup. He wasn't sure how he would fare with starting fire knowing his persona but anything would be better than what Hiccup was doing. When Hiccup said nothing but shot Jack a deadpan look, his laugh turned into a cackle as he placed a hand on the small of his back. "Why don't you take a seat? Here, take my jacket while I prepare something for you."

"Actually," Hiccup said after taking no more than three steps. Grabbing onto Jack just before he was about to sit down, Hiccup pulled Jakc down with him. Jack stumbled from the sudden tug, practically crashing on top of Hiccup as they both went down into one of his seats. "I'd rather do this."

"I don't think that's a good idea if you're sick," Jack warned as he felt Hiccup's arms circle him, pulling him in tight. In answer, Hiccup buried his head in the crook of Jack's neck. "I'll probably only get you more sick."

"You can take care of me later," Hiccup decided, Toothless backing him up as the large dragon came and circled them, laying down with his tail flapping against Jack's head every few moments.

Shipping Bingo:

Bunnymund (ROTG) x Rapunzel (Tangled)

I never thought about this crossover but sounds cool!

I need to hear more about them, is an interesanting idea. Maybe I'm intrigued about them

With all the crossovers I could read a fic jsjsjsj

Horny, I need them as friends (not best) that meet for sexual reasons, people think that they are a couple, a romantic one, but they are just friends for sex

Also they could be a complicated couple, not a perfect one, and more when bunnymund is a symbol. They could have a lot of consequences in that relationship so they want to keep it as a secret.

Tough It Out - Rise of the Guardians/Guardians of Childhood - Apollo and Koz (or Pitch)

sorry for the wait, this was oddly personal to write? ah, apollo my love. all the money in the world couldnt help you. tw: suicidal ideation, references to past child abuse, homophobia, and substance abuse. this is part one!

The skyscraper that housed Lunar Industries had a hundred and eight floors. Apollo stood on the hundredth-and-ninth – that being the roof, har-har, look how clever he was – looked down at the lights of the city blazing far below his boots, and contemplated taking the quick way down to the ground.

His phone jangled in his pocket. He flicked it open without looking at the caller ID and was still unsurprised to hear Selena on the other end. Who else would be calling Apollo, except his ex-wife? He didn’t have friends. He had even fewer no-friends after this morning. Redundant.

Fired from his own company. Suspected tax fraud. Excuses, really, to cover their asses. The words floated around him like clouds.

Like the actual clouds. Red tinted smog, nice and foul on the lungs, blazed through with gassy city lights blaring on down there in the dusk. Even the cars that chugged and coughed along between the flaring traffic lights, the gum-spitting and leather-pursed pedestrians that wove their way round them to be swallowed into huffing buses and sleek trains. Apollo's people, one and stinky pollutants all. He could make a nice big mess of himself down there among them, wet splat on the ashy pavement, just more trash to sucker up the clogged drains and heaving sewers. It'd be like coming home, maybe.

“Apollo,” said Selena, like exchanging words with him was like swallowing a pill and she had to spit through each one as quickly as possible to avoid the taste lingering on her tongue, “Are you busy?”

“Not really,” said Apollo, wondering how long, mathematically speaking, it would take to walk off the edge of the building he didn’t own any more instead of taking the elevator.

He'd never really paid attention in class. There was Koz, golden and glorious, to stare at back then. The way his dark hair curled at the nape of his neck was infinitely more transfixing than applied mathematics. Before today, Apollo could always pay someone for that.

“Can you take Mim this weekend, then?” she asked. “I’ve got this – thing on Saturday-“

“Can’t he stay at home on his own?” said Apollo. “He’s old enough now.”

“He’s a baby, Apollo,” Selena snapped. Ah, two weeks divorced and he could still make her sound as pissed off as if they’d said their marriage vows yesterday. There had to be some Hallmark card for that. “Deal with your son.”

“Fine,” said Apollo, since he really didn’t have anything to do that weekend other than, possibly, googling how much drugs he could take before he obliterated his brain and whether watching one’s father do that as a baby was the sort of foundational experience that required very costly therapy later in life. “How are you, anyway?”

Selena hung up on him.

Apollo sighed and walked away from the roof’s edge. God knew Selena was a nightmare if he was ever late to pickup.

Elevator it was.

---

“… my wife’s leaving me, I’ve lost my company, and I’m pretty sure my baby hates me,” Apollo told his therapist a day later, idly spinning the cord of the telephone around his finger.

He liked the creaking of its coil, and when he’d outfitted this office in his sleek downtown flat he’d had all the money to afford to go retro. This, like everything else, needed to go soon or else Apollo would run out of money to be able to convincingly fake that his life wasn’t completely shredded to shit to his ex-wife. Buyer lined up already.

Devil worked fast but Apollo worked faster.

“That sounds difficult,” the therapist said, because he was paid to sympathise with Apollo.

“Not really,” said Apollo, because he wasn’t.

“Have you been reaching out to your extended support networks?” said the therapist, who cost more than he was possibly worth.

Apollo wanted to laugh. “Sure,” he said.

“Mr Lunanoff,” the therapist began, but Apollo had already tuned him out. Extended support network. What a joke.

There’d only be one man who could ever qualify for that role, and they’d not spoken in years. Apollo was decently certain that Koz didn’t even remember they were friends on Facebook – probably had him muted – because every so often Koz’d post shitty memes about eating the rich that Apollo would reply to with winks and flirts that he never reacted to back. He hadn’t pushed it too much, though. Koz’s posts were the best parts of his week.

Get up, annoy his wife, stare puzzlingly at his gurgling son, read the newspaper, check the feed of his best friend that liked to pretend he didn’t exist. Perfect morning routine that’d spawned a multi-million dollar company and a therapy bill to match.

Still, his life was going to shit. Why not add this to the pile? Koz’s voicemail was vaguely hot, anyway. He always sounded kind of mad that someone would dare to ring him. It was familiar. People'd been sounding disappointed that Apollo remembered their numbers since he'd got his first phone at five. Soothing, in that way.

Unceremoniously, Apollo hung up on the therapist and typed a name into his phone that sprung to the top of his paltry contacts list, starred and favourited. He swiped. The dial tone made him more nervous than last week’s fistful of stimulants. It jangled into his ears, made him doubt himself. This was a stupid idea. He was going to push Koz away – further away, how much fucking further can he get?

Well, Apollo could get blocked. Still, there was always the hundred and ninth floor and the short way down.

“Pitch speaking,” the man’s voice was gruff and deep on the other end, sent shivers down Apollo’s spine. God. He was so hot. “Who’s this?”

“Kozmotis darling,” said Apollo, trying for upbeat and ending up gaudy and gay, “It’s me.”

“Who?”

“Apollo Lunanoff of course! Don’t tell me you didn’t save my number again.”

There was a beat of silence, then Koz cleared his throat and said, “Ah, new phone. Must have forgot.”

Bless his heart for lying. Koz's lies were thorny things, but they, blind belief and wilful misuse of drugs, were the way they'd stayed friends for so long after all, years after they'd left Apollo's father's estate and Koz's family's little house on the grounds far, far behind. Koz had, anyway. Some part of Apollo was still back there, according to his therapist. Apparently, violent repression was considered not therapeutic gold standard. Apollo reckoned it was fine. It was drugs, wasn't it, not men. That was what his father and he had agreed.

“Don’t worry,” said Apollo, “You can make it up to me. Do you know anything about taking care of babies?”

At first I thought that I should ask to change "zombie apocalypse au" as I'm really afraid of zombies. However, the point of doing this is to step out of my comfort zone so i'll give it a try.

On the other hand "90 day fiance" will probably be hard for me, i've never heard of that TV show before but why not.

Otherwise, i love those themes and I can't wait to start! ❤️

ROTG Secret Santa - Prompt 19. "Jack Frost. That's all. Bingo free space. Bonus if you change his hoodie for any kind of cool outfit."

I did not give him a cool new outfit because that kinda felt like filling my own prompt (#21, lol) and would thus be cheating, But! I always grab at the chance to draw Jack Frost, haha. He's so fun to draw.

Rejected Guadians of Childhood

The Man in the Moon had a brilliant idea!

A representative for birthdays, a Guardian of individuality if you will. A clown seems popular enough, they seem to oversee most birthday parties anyway.

Unfortunatly at that time certain horror movie called It came out in theatres.

I had to do this sooner or later. Yes, I DID use two characters from the same thing once or twice, sue me. And I totally didn’t intentionally place Jack and Merida together intentionally not at all.
