Through Fire & Blood III
Tumblr media
Kyōjurō Rengoku x DragonRider!Reader
A/N
so
I've had this stored away a very long time in a dark corner where I completely forgot about it
So I'm finally going to post the last chapter I wrote for it and then this fic is up for adoption :3
Hope you enjoy this last chapter from me
Part One
Part Two
It wasn't until Kyōjurō was turning the corner to his home did he realise that you’d called him ‘Mister Loud Restaurant Man’. which had him grinning for a delectable little moment before the realisation that you didn't know his name came crashing down. That realisation was soon brutally crushed as another realisation came crashing down. 
Kyōjurō didn’t know your name either. Kyōjurō had been walking on autopilot, lost oh so deep in the ocean of thoughts about the whole ordeal that didn't even realise he’d made it home, to his room in fact. He stood silently at his door, bewildered at how lost in his thoughts he’d become. 
Putting on his sleepwear Kyōjurō replayed the scene in his head mulling over what he could’ve done differently. He lay down in his futon, his thoughts still swirling, however Kyōjurō was not one to linger on what ifs, so he decided to rectify his mistake with a deceptively simple idea. Exchanging names.
You had been wearing a delicate grin amongst your blooming cheeks with your head in the clouds–both literally and figuratively–since your little woodland encounter. Of course, your small band of friends had quickly noticed the change in behaviour. 
“You know, for someone that just got knocked out of the sky, you seem awfully…giddy,” Arthur spoke, Your friends hummed in agreement before trying to pry answers from your stammering lips, all the while your dragon giggled in glee knowing the reason you were acting so unusual. It didn't take long for the rest of your team to start prying for details, each of them blasting you with question after question. At this rate they'd end up blasting you out of the sky with their constant stream of inquiries. As if you needed to be rapidly plummeting back to earth again today.
After the horrendous ride back you’d remained sat on your bed carefully tending to your dragon’s wounds. Being sure to make up a better splint for a more effective recovery. The night's events played ever looping in your mind, thoughts flooding your brain and spilling out your mouth. Your dragon half-heartedly listens to your worries. Of course it wasn't that the beast didn't care, they certainly did, It's just that you seemed a bit… hysterical about the topic at hand. Raving about how strange demons were and how stunningly heroic your rescuer had been. Your thoughts were spinning and you went with them spilling an endless sea from the depths of your mind out through your mouth. 'What's up with demons? Could they be connected to the hunter activity in the area? What about this Demon Slayer Corps? Could they help if the demons and hunters are connected? Would they? And then there was your oh so handsome saviour tonight… 'The way he swung his sword…' or 'how the brilliant flames seemed to make him appear ethereal…'
Your dragon rolled their eyes, oh boy were you hooked.
---
The next time you meet it was certainly not at a restaurant. Although once upon a time it could've been. Kyōjurō has been sent to an old abandoned mansion near the coast that'd supposedly been cursed. People would see bright flashes from the far off abode combined with the most horrible screams and screeches. The corps had initially sent in a few teams to investigate but none had reported back. Now the corps was sending in the Flame Hashira.
You on the other hand were following up on hunter attacks with the rest of your team. You'd managed to narrow down possible hunter bases to 3 main points on the coast. 
Over the next week the team would investigate each location to see if their suspicions were true.

Runaway!GN!Reader meets their new trio of dragons...
Timeline: Race To The Edge [Part 1]
Runaway!Reader who fled their island in the middle of the night, only hours after hearing about their betrothal to some other tribe's heir.
Runaway!Reader who stumbles upon a Deathgripper that's injured, but still ready to fight and kill off any threats. It's stinger at the end of it's tail is exposed and ready to strike...until the Reader leaves and returns with fish they've managed to catch.
As the large dragon finally decides he can resist the fish no more, he begins to devour each one whole until nothing remains.
The Reader is just sitting there with their legs crossed and admiring this very dangerous dragon, mind racing with names and thoughts while the Deathgripper just stares back.
Finally settling on the name DeathStrike, after multiple growls and threatening displays at the other names mentioned, Runaway!Reader notices how the sun is beginning to set and starts to panic a bit.
As night falls, they realize just how much danger was really lurking about because where there's one Deathgripper, there's a pack of them.
Two more, equally frightening and dangerous, come charging out to defend the larger dragon with their tusks and stingers at the ready...but their injured pack mate snarls at them to back off.
DeathStrike has taken a liking to his new human!
He manages to stand and it's even clearer that he is the largest Deathgripper infront of Reader who's taken a few steps back and is panicking at the thought of being this pack of dragon's meal. They cower as the dragons approach and surround them, closing their eyes and tensing up as they prepare for pain.
But it never happens.
Instead they feel the snout of DeathStrike press against their hair, deep breaths inhales and hot puffs of air hit their skin, their eyes slowly open to see a lack of hostility amongst the pack.
A small pack of three male Deathgrippers isn't common amongst the species, but it also wasn't very common for these dragons to just claim a human as their new companion.
But now you're stuck with the trio of Deathgrippers who aren't keen on letting you go.
Imagine the first meeting with the Dragon Riders...

Blood of my House Pt1
Kirishima Eijiro x Fem!Reader
Tumblr media
Context: Eijiro's plan to claim back his family's throne is put on hold when you appear, as the rightful heir. You get on his nerves but you both need to work together in order to get the usurper off your throne. Lets just hope you both don't fall into the stereotype of your house.
Game of thrones inspired- The Kirishimas are basically the Targeryens. Credit given to George R Martin and the mastermind that he is.
Warning: this story deals with topics of cousin incest and referenced incest ( I don't condone this IRL), violence, taboo lust, blood, fire, time period specific misogyny and dragons. So be prepared. No smut... yet.
“If we advance our forces forward and take them from atop the valley, we can exterminate at least two thousand of their forces.” Bakugou Katsuki spoke as he moved the figures of black painted dragons that represented the Kirishima army. The blond man stood up straight as he motioned to the large map that was on the table that was in the shape of the continent that was the realm. He looked up from the table at the men that were around the table. “That way we can kill all those fuckers before the moon reaches it’s peak.”
Lord Taishiro Toyomitsu looked to the head of the table. His golden eyes on the man who was the centre of their cause. “Your grace.”
Kirishima Eijiro looked up from where he sat at the head of the table. His ruby eyes looking at the man who had unwaveringly and unquestionably joined his cause before looking around the table. Suffocating ruby eyes that gleamed with a fire so hot behind them. He looked back down at the table. He nodded his head. “Let it be done.” He stated as he stood up from his chair. Immediately everyone stood up, allowing him to leave the room with Katsuki following after him.
Eijiro exited out of the room, moving down the hallway, servants and lords bowing their heads to him as he moved towards his personal chambers. The stone walls of the castle were made out of dark black stone that was said to be burnt from an old dragon that melded the rocks together. Eijiro entered his room, placing down the heavy Valyrian steel sword against a table as he fell back down on a cushioned chair. He let out a sigh as he draped a hand over his eyes. Today was a long day of meetings and strategy.
Katsuki chuckled as he stood at the door. “Should I send dinner to your room?” He asked.
“Please.” Eijiro groaned. “And send for a Meyster.” He stated as he rubbed the side of his head. His eyebrows furrowed as he sat up. “I have a headache.”
Katsuki’s eyebrows twitched but he let out a grunt and closed the door.
Now alone, Eijiro put his head back with a sigh, glad to finally be alone. He didn’t think that leading a war against the Todoroki’s would be so difficult but he couldn’t say he wasn’t surprised. He opened his eyes again as he looked back at the view from the mountain top. The Sunvaile manor was built into the mountains with its village surrounding it. Eijiro never thought he’d ever be here in his ancestral home, at least not leading it as Prince and rightful heir to the throne.
Eijiro barely remember his parents, he only knew of the tragedy that befell on their house. It was a great gathering here to celebrate the birth of King Kirishima Ryosuke the second’s second born, a son, after having had his eldest daughter a few years before. It was a tradition that the Kirishima family had whenever a baby was to be born. Having the babe born in their ancestral home where dragons were said to have first been discovered in this world, was said to be good luck. The parties were extravagant and with such a big house with so many members, Eijiro could only remember faces of people that looked so similar to one another.
However Todoroki Enji, Lord of Turnes, had plotted in secret and assassinated nearly every member of the Kirishima family to ensure that there was not a single person to claim the throne. Fortunately, Eijiro’s mother and father, Lord and Lady of Summersvale, managed to hide him away with a loyal sword that would send him far away so that when the time came he would ascend the throne. The last thing Eijiro remembered of his mother, her hair being the deep red of her house Toyomitsu and not the inherit trait of Kirishima black, and the whispered spell she had cast over his hair.
One of the most noticeable features of Kirishima lineage was the inky black hair and ruby eyes, a pair of traits that never separated from one another. Many of his elder siblings, his father, aunts and uncles had the same trait. A dominant gene that never left. However, the next time Eijiro looked at his reflection in cold water while on the run away from Summersvale, his hair was a crimson red, similar to that of his mother.
Unfortunately the loyal sword that had managed to get him out of Summersvale had fallen at the ends of smugglers and Eijiro found himself sold into slavery at the age of five. He was fortunately bought by the Bakugous, the family that led the BakuLands. He was young and was quickly taught the ropes, making sure to do what he was told as a little errand boy in exchange for food and a place to sleep. However, Eijiro always had an interest in the sword, and that’s how he met his best friend and brother at arms, Bakugou Katsuki.
Katsuki was an annoying little shit, but he was loyal and a good friend. He easily befriended Eijiro mostly because Eijiro was the only boy willing to befriend him other than the son of Katsuki’s former wetnurse, Midoriya Izuku, the bastard. Lady Mitsuki rather disliked Eijiro, not liking the fact that her son had made friends with a servant but it was the most she was ever going to get out of him. Eijiro trained beside Katsuki in secret and served him.
That was until Katsuki’s parents had taken Katsuki and consequently Eijiro as Katsuki’s personal servant, to Summersvale. It happened purely by chance that their hunting party had stumbled upon the caves that the dragons nested in. With a flash of fire, Eijiro trying to save Katsuki’s life, Eijiro was left unburnt and unscathed, however, like a phoenix’s burnt wings, his red a flame hair turned black like ashes. And ever since then, the whispers moved around the realm saying how one Kirishima had survived that night.
Prince Kirishima Eijiro.
Or at least, that’s how Eijiro remembered it.
Eijiro wondered what life would had been like did his parents survive, if that fateful night had not happened. He wondered if right now he’d be surrounded by his sisters, if he would be sitting down having dinner in a hall that was filled with laughter and bright smiles. If he would learn under his father to become the next Lord of Summersvale or whether his eldest sister would have taken the title (unlikely but a thought regardless). He wondered if he’d still be the same man as he was now.
He was taken out of his thoughts at the sound of racing footsteps out in the halls. Eijiro’s eyes flicked to the door before it opened. Katsuki stood there with heavy breaths as he kept the door opened standing in the doorway. “Eijiro, you must come and see this.”
Eijiro’s eyebrows furrowed as he stood up from his chair, grabbing his sword as he did so and heading with haste out of his chambers. Katsuki escorted him out of the room and down the hall. “What is the matter? Is it the Todorokis?”
Katsuki shook his head as he headed towards a window that faced the front of the castle. “No. They bare a different banner.”
“Whose?”
Katsuki motioned for Eijiro to look outside. The setting sun had bathed the tops of the mountains in orange but otherwise darkness was quickly overtaking the land. But that did not stop Eijiro from seeing the banners that were being carried by a hoard of men, soldiers that were heading towards them, close enough to be concerning. At the sight of the black banners that bore the red sigil of a dragon curled up with flames surrounding it like the sun, Eijiro stiffened.
Katsuki sighed as he nodded. “They bare your banners.” He stated.
It didn’t take long before both men made it outside, Eijiro grabbing his clock and throwing it over his shoulders, a black furred mantel resting on his shoulders. It was once his fathers and he had always been shy of wearing it, but he prayed that it would give him strength right now. Both Katsuki and him headed down the outside stairs into the courtyard as the gates were opened to allow the visitors through.
Entering on horseback on a white stallion was a man neither Eijiro nor Katsuki thought they would see again. Katsuki’s eyes widened. “Deku?!” He let out surprised. “You bastard! You’re still alive?”
Sitting atop the stallion was a green haired man with freckles that littered his skin, his green eyes looked down at the blond with an amused glint but a deep dangerous poison brewing underneath. He scoffed as he got off of his horse. “I see you haven’t changed, Kacchan.” He stated as he landed on the ground with a thud as he walked over to the two men. Izuku’s eyes went to Eijiro, his eyes assessing him. It had been years since he last saw the other man. He bowed his head. “Your grace.”
“Izuku, it’s been a while.” He let out offering his hand.
At the sign of friendship Izuku took it with a smile of his own. “It has. Last time I saw you, your grace, your hair was red, not black.”
Eijiro chuckled. “A lot has happened.”
“Indeed.”
“Deku,” Katsuki folded his arms over his chest with a frown. “How are you alive and why on earth are you and your forty thousand men baring up Kirishima banners? Have you finally come to help our cause?”
Izuku hesitated before an amused chuckle came from his lips. “I am here to fight a Kirishima cause yes, just not yours.” He revealed before motioning up to the sky. “Hers.”
Eijiro looked up to the sky, clouds seemingly undisturbed however as he kept looking he noticed something strange moving closer, rippling through the clouds. An odd sound went through the air, a loud roar that sounded different from his own dragon. His eyes widened as a large dark dragon came flying in the air over the caslte. The force of the wind, nearly knocking many back but Eijiro stood his ground.
He noticed a person was riding a top of the dragon as it circled around, gradually getting lower to the ground. Finally, the large dragon settled on one of the thick walls of the castle, made to be that thick due to the dragon claws and weight. The large beast let out a loud roar, snaking its head up to the sky almost in victory at being back home. It ruffled its wings before lowering its head to pear down at the men that were staring up at it in fear.
Eijiro’s men had sort of gotten used to his own dragon, Riot, but that was mostly because she was the only one left. Or so they thought.
Sitting perched on the dragons body was a woman, who’s eyes bore into Eijiro’s like a mirror. Something twisted inside of him, wondering who on earth you were. The dragon lowered his head with a scuttle as you unseated yourself, using his wing to slide down and land on your feet. You were dressed in black, in a jacket and suit that suit you well as you walked forward to stand before Eijiro and Katsuki.
Izuku stiffened and bowed his head. “You stand in the presence of Y/N of House Kirishima, first of her name, eldest daughter of King Ryosuke Kirishima, second of his name, rightful heir to the throne, the princess of skies and speaker for the broken, the unscorched lady of the night.” Izuku introduced as you stood looking at Eijiro unwaveringly.
Eijiro blinked at the introduction. He turned to look at Katsuki. Katsuki looked at him then quickly got the jist. “This is Eijiro.” He stated plainly. Eijiro punched his side. “OF House Kirishima.” He continued with a glare at his best friend. He cleared his throat and motioned back to Eijiro. “He’s Lord of Summersvale.”
You raised a slight eyebrow at the short introduction but it was more in amusement than anything. You chuckled as you looked over at the man in front of you. He was undoubtedly a Kirishima male. The long thick black hair that cascaded down his back like a mane and the burning intense ruby eyes that he had were enough to tell you. “Cousin.” You greeted with a smile.
Eijiro’s eyebrow twitched as he recognised you. Despite having spent years apart, the sight of one of his kin was enough to assure him of your identity. Blood could recognise blood. “Cousin.” He acknowledged. At his acknowledgement, Katsuki looked at him shocked, but Eijiro couldn’t didn’t take his eyes off of you.
“It has been far too long.” You started, your eyes moving over his figure once more. Despite seeing him and seeing what was once your little cousin Eijiro, his size surprised you. He had grown to fill the large disposition that was infamous of the men in your family. Large broad shoulders and a tall thick muscled demeanour. He was taller than any man you had ever seen and carried himself with such prowess. “Last time I saw you, you were but a boy still young enough to be attached to your mother’s tits.” You let out snidely, earning a humeroued smirk from Izuku and stifled chuckles from his men.
Eijiro’s eyebrows twitched. “Last time I saw you, you were but a girl who didn’t have any.” He shot back earning some laughs from his own men behind him.
You stood your ground, your smile not faltering as you looked at him. “We have grown.”
“Yes...” His eyes moved down your figure, your stomach tightening in knots as you watched him. His eyes flicked back up to his face. “Yes, we have.” He joined his hands in front of himself as he glared down at you. “What are you doing here Y/N?” He asked with a furrowed gaze.
You let out a breath. “How about we discuss this inside? It is getting late and cold and I’d rather give my men some rest.” You stated.
Eijiro was silent for a moment but nodded his head. Katsuki gave him a pointed look that Eijiro ignored. “Katsuki arrange for her rooms to be ready. We are heading inside.” He ordered as he turned around and headed inside.
You followed after him, motioning for Izuku to tell your men to set up camp for the time being in case you would have to leave the following day. You and the rest of your advisors headed into the castle. You looked up at the formidable entrance, stone dragons perched near the entrance, the size of young dragons barely able to be ridden yet. You turned to look at your own dragon. He was getting herded away by dragon chamberlains, them speaking to the large beast in High Valeryian. You trusted that he would behave himself and so walked in after Eijiro.
Eijiro did not speak as you followed after him. But you didn’t want him to speak as you looked around the castle halls. It had been so long since you had been back home here, back to your ancestral home. A part of you felt as though you could feel your family’s embrace even though shrouded in the darkness of their demise. You saw a family portrait hanging formidably.
Your uncle Takeo and his wife Yua with four little girls surrounding them and a little baby boy in Yua’s arms. You knew it was Eijiro and a part of you wanted to scoff at the little thing. He seemed like such a brat.
You continued to follow him into a room you were never allowed in as a child. A room where all the men of your family sat, often talking plans when it came to governing the seven kingdoms or when it came to the family. Your eyes looked at the table, the map of all the kingdoms set before you. Your fingers slid on the obsidian marble that was the table in front of you. Your eyes moved to the head of the table where your father used to sit.
Eijiro watched you, how you silently reminisced as you slowly walked through the room. It was quiet as you did so, everyone spectating you. Your eyes moved up to him, noticing how he had moved to sit at the Head of the table. You gave him a tense smile as you sat the opposite end. Izuku took his place beside you and Katsuki stood beside Eijiro.
Eijiro’s hands were joined together in front of him as he watched you with a analytical gleam. “I assume that this visit isn’t a familial one amongst kin.” He started, now that everyone whose ears needed to be in the room, were there.
You hummed as you leaned against the chair you sat in. “Indeed.” You nodded your head agreeing with him. “I heard about your cause all the way in Chalrogo. After some thoughts and talks amongst me and my councilmen, it was decided that the best course of action was to find you and join our causes so that I shall take my rightful place on the throne.”
“Your rightful place on the throne?” Eijiro asked with a scoff as he looked at you up and down. A humoured chuckle left his throat as he did so.
Your eyebrows twitched in annoyance as you sat up. “Do you find something humorous?”
Eijiro nodded his head with a smile. “The fact that you think you belong on the throne, is humorous.”
“And why is that?”
“Why?” Eijiro asked with a scoff. He motioned to you before leaning to the side with his hand supporting him. “No woman has ever sat upon the throne.”
You knew he would say that, every man has said that. “I am the eldest born and only child left of King Ryosuke.” You reminded him. “I have a greater right to sit on that throne more than you.”
“Ah, but you forget, cousin.” Eijiro let out with a tsk as he shook his head. “I am the oldest male of the Kirishima House left, which automatically makes me Head of the family and King by default.”
“Your father, swore an oath to his older brother, my father, that he would be loyal and dedicated to our reign.” Your eyebrows furrowed as you kept your eyes on Eijiro. “Your father owes me that vow and you, as his son, are the only one left to uphold that.”
Eijiro frowned at your excuses. He found them pathetic and rather humerous. He couldn’t ignore the matter at hand that was your new found existence in his life, but this all seemed a bit much for him. Katsuki stepped forward. “Excuse me, Y/N-”
“Princess Y/N.” Izuku corrected with a glare.
Katsuki rolled his eyes at Izuku’s interruption. “Yes, yes, your grace,” He said dripping in sarcasm. “But last time I checked, your brother was born and named heir on the night of the Burnout flame.”
You rolled your own eyes. “Oh please. My younger brother had barely lived longer than an hour before his life came to an end due to the usurper that is Todoroki Enji.”
“At least there is one thing we agree on.” Eijiro pointed out. “You want to join our forces.”
You let out a breath, trying to regain control of yourself and a sound mind. You nodded your head. “The blood of our house is stronger together, is it not?” You asked. “I have 45 000 men and fifty ships ready and waiting at my disposal, as well as enough gold to burn.”
Sero Hanta’s eyebrows twitched as he tilted his head. “How much gold?” He asked.
You glanced to Izuku. He nodded as he turned to the door and opened it, allowing two of your armed men to carry in a chest filled with gold. The chest was brought down on the floor with a heavy thud, coins already spilling out of it. Eijiro and his men had wide eyes at the sight of it.
“I have fifty of those.” You revealed bluntly.
Eijiro was silent as he looked from the chest over to you. He wondered what on earth you had been through and what you had done in order to have such power at your back and call.
“Your grace,” Both him and you had turned your heads to look Toyomitsu Taishiro. He looked to Eijiro with an earnest look. “Joining your forces under one banner would give us the advantage. A hundred thousand men strong would be enough to defeat the Todorokis with the right plan.” He acknowledged. Eijiro’s eyebrows furrowed but he listened. He owed this man, his uncle, his life and a lot more. He trusted him. Taishiro turned to look at you. “Besides, your house must be united now more than ever. And forgive me for saying, my princess,” You smiled. “But you look just like your mother. Even now.”
You smiled gently at the complement. You nodded your head in gratitude. “Thank you, Lord Toyomitsu. My house will always be grateful for the loyalty and fealty to us.”
“Yes, my nephew has told me.” He acknowledged as he motioned to Eijiro.
Eijiro frowned as he looked over at you. Here you were, sitting in front of him almost as if you dropped out of the sky. Eijiro was not sure what to do. He let out a grunt. “I think it is obvious that together we are stronger than divided.” You nodded at the obvious. “Then I agree. We will work together to unseat King Enji from the throne.”
“Then who will sit on the throne?” One of your advisors, Lord Aizawa Shota asked as he leaned back in his chair tiredly.
You turned to look at Eijiro and he stared at you right back. You forced a smile to your face. “I think we can determine that like adults, can’t we, Eijiro?” You asked with a smile that Eijiro wanted to pull off of your face.
He nodded curtly. “Of course. But please, we shall show you to your rooms and we can eat dinner together, as one.” You nodded your head as you stood up from opposite him. All of your men stood up and followed you out of the room, followed by a servant that was summoned by Katsuki. Once you finally left Eijiro let out a groan as he leaned back and dragged a hand down his face.
“So…” Kaminari Denki started lowly as he tapped his fingers on the table. “Are we just going to ignore the fact that she looks like every man’s best dream?” He asked openly.
Eijiro glanced at the blond man with a glare which quickly shut Denki up. He wasn’t wrong, you had grown a lot since he had last saw you. You were a woman now. In every shape of the word and it haunted him. Suffocatingly so. You were smart, he could tell by the arsenal you had behind you but you were also beautiful and deeply aware of it too. He could tell by the way every single man in the room was unable to look away from you.
“This could be a trick.” He let out lowly as he thought about every possible scenario.
“If so, she’s a very needed trick.” Sato acknowledged, his arms folded over his chest. “She comes with men, ships and a hefty sum to her name.”
Commander Hounddog nodded his head with a low grunt. “She’s perfect to your cause, your grace.”
“But then comes the real question…” Taishiro started as he adjusted his seating, minding his large belly as he did so. His golden eyes moved to Eijiro and the younger man knew that he was going to say something that would make the entire room uncomfortable. “Are you going to wed her?”
Eijiro let out a loud laugh at the thought. “Wed her?!” He asked motioning to the door. “She’s my cousin!”
“Yes but… It’s kind of what your family does.” Sero let out with an awkward smile. “You’re a Kirishima, she’s a Kirishima, you both have blood that stems from a time of old magic and dragons.”
“It would solidify your claim to the throne.” Tetsutetsu recognized earning hums from around the room.
Eijiro scoffed as he stood up from his chair. “Oh please! That’s appalling. I don’t have to marry her in order to stake my claim. My mother was not a Kirishima and I have the same claim as she does!”
“But that is because your grandfather, King Shinyo first of his name, wanted to cement the ties between our two families.” Taishiro reminded his nephew with a pointed look. “But your grandparents were both from House Kirishima, her parents were both Kirishimas.”
Katsuki nodded with a hum. “Siblings in fact.”
Eijiro glared up at the blond. “You are not helping!” He told his best friend. “If marrying a woman is so important, fine I will do so, but it damn well will not be her! My blood is thick enough to not need her for anything other than her assistance to the throne. By the end of the season cycle, I will be seated as the next king of the realm, whether she likes it or not.”

Homeward Bound 2
Find the series masterlist
Your job as the caretaker is rarely boring, especially around nesting time. Fortunately, you're prepared for almost anything.
Warnings: Swearing, accidental self harm (walking on hot sand), bits of backstory.
Word count: 1k
Tumblr media
Your room off the hatching grounds was small, with just the necessities. A simple bed, a small table for some jerky and water, and a small wardrobe. You didn't inhabit this room all the time, thankfully - your normal room was bigger, more spacious. But for the last weeks leading up to the hatching, if you weren't out on the sands, you could be found here. 
You didn't dare go far from the eggs, especially as it got closer to hatching day. It was risky, considering you would only get a few hours’ warning, at best. 
So when someone knocked on your door at some ungodly hour, you woke and rolled out of bed before your brain even had a chance to catch up. You threw on your robe for some semblance of modesty, yanking the door open. 
One of the messenger boys stood in front of your door, hair mussed and cheeks red from his run. “One of the dragons,” he said, one hand waving back the way he'd come. 
You didn't wait for the rest of his message, pushing past him and sprinting down the short hall and to the sands. Hot sand nearly burned the bottoms of your feet, but you paid it no mind. 
It took only a moment to find the dragon in question. A new mother, gray wings spread wide, nearly prancing in distress but somehow never even touching her eggs. 
“Hey, hey, easy,” you soothed, approaching her carefully, hands up. “Easy, beautiful. Calm down and show me what's wrong.” 
She hissed, higher pitched than normal, more nervous than aggressive. But she settled, at least a little, all four feet remaining planted now. 
“Good,” you crooned, taking another couple steps closer. “Now. Show me what's wrong.” 
She hissed again but allowed you close, wings slowly settling against her back again. She stepped back carefully, allowing you to see the nest. 
And the clear crack that ran across the top of one of her eggs. 
“Oh.” Sharp pain lanced clean through your chest. “Oh, beautiful….” Ever so carefully, your fingertips ran across the crack, feeling for moisture. It was possible the internal membrane hadn't torn, in which case you could patch up the egg. Fortunately, that looked to be the case this time. You breathed out slowly, pressing your palm mid-way down the shell to check the temperature. A little cool, but not bad. 
You could make this work. 
“Okay,” you breathed out. “Okay. Your egg is okay.” You looked up at the dragon to make sure she understood, meeting brilliant golden eyes fearlessly. “I'm going to help.” 
She trilled softly, lowering her head to nudge your shoulder very gently. 
“Yes, yes,” you murmured, sparing one hand to pat her snout. “Go get your rider, and a few others if you can. Quickly.” 
She hesitated only a moment, the instinctive pull to remain at her nest strong, before she turned and took off. You didn't watch her go, instead focusing on shoring up the sand around all the eggs. That would help keep them all stable and warm. 
Now to address the crack. 
You didn't want to leave it alone - there was too much potential for things to get in there and cause problems. 
You had all the things you'd need for a kind of paste you could cover the crack with. It would need to be reapplied periodically until the egg hatched, but it would work. 
You spared a brief thought of thanks that your mother had taught you everything about this job. 
The tromp of boots on sand and the trill of the dragon pulled your attention up from the sand. The mother had returned with her rider and two others. Including Simon. 
“Pack more sand around these eggs,” you ordered the three. “All around them. But do not touch the cracked egg. I will be back in three minutes.” 
You stood, frowning thunderously when one of the riders goggled at you, mouth open. “Now,” you snapped.
Simon cuffed the gawking rider before striding off to grab one of the shovels. You turned and ran back to the small storage room off the hatching grounds, full of ingredients for just such a need as this. 
The sand was hot as you carried the bowl back to the egg, reminding you painfully that you were not wearing shoes. You grimaced but pushed through, walking calmly this time. You didn't want to get any sand in the bowl. 
The three riders had made quick work of getting the eggs braced with more sand, Simon still holding the shovel even as he watched you approach, eyes dark. 
“Good,” was all you offered, kneeling carefully next to the cracked egg. Partially to not get more sand around, and partially to make sure your robe stayed covering you. You covered the crack with the paste, carefully going beyond the edges of the crack to be sure nothing could get in. When you checked, the egg was already a little warmer. Very good. 
Sighing softly, you pushed back to your feet. “Very good,” you murmured. “The egg will be fine. Thank you for your help.” You looked at each of the three riders. The one who belonged to the mother dragon actually stepped forward to hug you, something you returned a little awkwardly. 
The mother settled around her eggs again, even more carefully now, crooning softly before she settled her snout right next to the cracked egg. You patted her head, relieved. 
It took until you gathered up the bowl and tugged your robe tighter to realize that Simon was still standing to one side, gaze still fixed on you. You paused, foot scuffing through the sand, eyes blowing wide before you schooled your expression back to neutrality. You nodded to him once and strode back to the storage room, covering the remaining paste with a cloth. It would keep for a while. 
You needed to wash up. 
You paused, just for a moment, at the edge of the sand where the hallway to your room branched off. Simon was standing next to Ilsbet, one hand under her chin, forehead pressed to hers. You turned away from the quiet moment. But not before you smiled.

Tumblr media
There came a knock at the door. No one ever knocked on a witch's door by accident.
From the bedroom window, you peeked through the muslin curtain. Below the two-story cottage, grew a garden of lush greens and wild flowers. Where the weeds and dandelions led a trail to your front porch, a figure stood at your door. More pestering thuds bothered the home and the skin of your nose wrinkled. Muttering a thing or two, you ambled down the aching stairs. Before reaching the door, you rummaged through a decorative drawer, procuring a gray river rock. It was enchanted with one of your magic spells—a screeching stone, you called it.
“You can stop trying to break down my door,” you said, pressing the stone against the entryway. “Didn’t you read the sign posted on the oak tree outside? Clearly, it said no trespassing.”
“No—think I might’ve missed it,” the muffled voice of a young man answered, and it seemed honest enough. The stone hummed at the response. “Are you [Y/N], by chance?”
“There’s a chance I could be,” you said with soured lips. “Not many people come this far into the woods. And fewer people know of me, let alone my name. Which leads me to ask, who exactly sent you?”
“Gothi sent me. She mentioned you two knowing each other,” he replied in truth, and the stone continued its soft hymns. “She said if there’s anyone who could help me, it would be you.”
She’s still alive?
“That all depends. I trust Gothi, but I’ll need to trust you as well. You can start by telling me your name.”
There was a beat in the air. “It’s Hiccup.”
The ghost of your breath trapped itself inside your chest. That name—it had been buried beneath over a century ago. Yet the stone sang sweetly, and your heart squeezed in a haunting delight. A part of you wished it would scream. Wretched and revolting as it was, it would give you reason to cast the stranger away.
To your grief, he wasn’t so much a stranger as you thought.
Pocketing the stone, you opened the door with a creak. Meeting the green meadow of his eyes, your magic dug its fiery claws between your ribs. With all your power, you tried not to let his familiar freckles unsettle you. Fearing if you did, your magic would spring out of control. The windows would shatter. The roof would crumble to dust. The fireplace would spark and scorch the floors. Or something much worse. Touch him, and reveal when death would knock on his own door.
You wouldn’t let that happen. Not again. Not ever.
With a deep breath, you pushed the door open wider. “Come in,” you said, "we can talk more inside.”
He tipped his chin and thanked you for the invitation. When he stepped through, his gaze swept about your home. Dried flowers, herbs and spices hung from every inch of ceiling by twine. Sunlight spilled from the white-painted windows, and warmed the cushions of two chairs perched near the fireplace. Bookcases stood on either side of the mantle, stretched tall enough to touch the rafters, and wide enough to cover the entire walls. At the back of the home was the kitchen and brewing space. With emerald cabinets and honied-countertops, stacked with jars and vials, scattered petals, and corked potions.
“Make yourself comfortable,” you said. “I’ll prepare us something warm to drink.”
With a blink, he tore his gaze from the foliage and oddities. “Sure, I would appreciate it.”
When you left for the kitchen, he absently traced a hand against the chairs upholstery. Although it matched its counterpart, there were subtle differences; the legs were built taller, and arm rests crafted higher. When he took a seat, it felt made for someone of his stature—an odd thing to notice. His gaze raised to a row of books on one of the bookcase shelves. One particular book stood out among the jewel-toned backs of scarlet, green, and yellow. A simple spine of leather, softened over-time with use, and streaks of charcoal staining the edges.
Like a cool breeze, a sense of familiarity swept through him, touching the marrow of his bones. It begged the question.
“Have you always lived here by yourself?” Hiccup asked.
“You could say that.” 
For a moment, you lost yourself in the fragrant pools. When was the last time you served someone tea? It may have been the day before a young man's mortal fate—the same day you couldn’t convince him to stay. Leaving you to join the collection of things he left behind. Your throat tightened around what felt like a ball of hot wax. Searing as it was, you swallowed its entirety. 
Balancing the trembling porcelain, you returned to the next room and took a seat of your own. 
“I’m sorry if I was rude earlier. I’ve…never welcomed visitors. It’s always been safer that way.” With a smile, you offered him a cup. “But between Gothi sending you and your genuine nature, I’d like to help you.”
“Thanks—and you don’t have to apologize to me. I’m the one who decided to come here unannounced. So…” Hiccup trailed off, taking a drink. He stared at the ripples with solemnity. “My father isn’t doing so well. And you know Gothi, she’s the best Seer we have on Berk. She’s done all she can, but it’s not going to be enough. When I asked if there was anything more I could do, she recommended that I seek you out.”
“I’m sorry about your father,” you said, lowering your own cup. “If Gothi wasn’t able to help him, then he must be very sick.”
“I’m trying not to think about it too much.” He worked the tension of his lips between his teeth. Then pitched a sincere look your way, and said, “So you know, I’m not worried about you being a witch. If anything, I find myself pretty lucky to ask for your help. Even if that does mean I have to sell my soul for it.”
“I have some good news for you, then. I won’t be needing it. Quite frankly, I wouldn’t even know what to do with yours,” you said with a laugh. “But most spells and potions require something of personal value. At least, the stronger ones do.”
Setting your tea cup aside, you hopped onto your toes. Approaching one of the bookcases, you trailed a finger against the backs of countless titles. Your search came to an end when you plucked one out; dense with musky pages, a silver lock clasped at the side, and a small wooden door carved into the cover.
Peering over your shoulder, you found your nosy company arched forward in his chair. You cleared your throat, “Don’t think about peeking over here. A witch never reveals her secrets.”
He apologized under his breath, and shifted his chin away. But like a child snuffed out of his curiosity, he wore a pout of disappointment. You smiled in amusement, and brought your attention back to the book.
You knocked against the small door in a melodic tempo. The little door sprang open, revealing a tiny ear inside. You brought your mouth close, whispering the incantation with the smallest voice you could muster. Too loud, and the door would snap shut against your lips.
An unpleasant experience you remembered from childhood.
The lock clicked open, and you breathed a sigh of relief. Page after page, you mumbled and zipped through each recipe. A couple more turns, you tapped against the right one. Breezing through the ingredients, you had all but one. Oh buttercups, you blushed.
“What is it?” Hiccup furrowed his brows at your dawning expression. “Everything all right?”
“It’s a bit hard to explain. I—I don’t have one of the ingredients any longer. But maybe you still do,” you exclaimed, taming the warmth of your cheeks. “Come with me.”
With a tilt of your head, you gestured to the kitchen. Your guest rose from his seat, following your footsteps. With instructions for him not to touch anything, you scrambled to find your proper ingredients; mugwort, newt tail, bog water, and a strand of witch hair. Tossed and muddled by mortar and pestle, you poured the mixed contents into a glass jar.
“Time for the last ingredient,” you said, picking up a kitchen knife, “hold out a finger.”
Although hesitant, he lifted a hand. “Tell me you’re not going to cut it off. I’m already down a leg, if you haven’t noticed.”
“Not at all. That would be more than what I actually need,” you answered, albeit a little too plainly. With your other hand, you touched the stone tucked in your dress pocket. “You only have to be honest when I ask you this question. If you’re not, then we’ll both hear about it.”
He nodded carefully. “Go ahead.”
“Have you ever—Oh, how should I put this?” Calming the storm of embarrassment brewing in your chest, you exhaled the words in one breath. “Have you ever committed the coupling act?”
There was a gulp. Then a twitch of his lips. Followed by a blush that bloomed from nose to ear. “What? No, I—I haven’t. What kind of question is that?”
Without a word, you sliced the tip of his finger. A hiss sizzled from his mouth when you squeezed it open. Aligning the bottle underneath, you caught the blood falling in pitter-patters. Once enough dripped into the brew, a plum of red smoke burst into the air. Both of you coughed and waved your hands around the space. When the pungent cloud faded into wisps, you corked the bubbling potion.
“A warning would’ve been nice.” He wrapped his finger in a handkerchief you provided. He went on to mutter, “Not sure why you couldn’t use your own finger.” By the delivery, the last part was meant to stay in his head. 
Embarrassment washed through your veins, and painted every inch of your skin posy pink. The sight of it colored his own complexion.
“I didn’t mean to say that, honestly,” he apologized after the realization struck him. “It just sort of came out.”
“Absolutely no tact at all,” you chastised, snatching back the handkerchief. “Gods, you’re just as bad as him.”
He blinked with mystification. “Him?”
A slip of the tongue had the back hairs of your neck bristling. Magic pulsed like coils of lightning in your stomach. Crackling up through your chest, wanting to burn deeper holes in your heart. The roof groaned and creaked. Grains of wood dust fell onto your nose, dispelling the awful feeling.
“You have to go. Please, take it and leave. And don’t worry about repaying me.” Before he could argue, you forced the potion into his possession. With a clap of a hand, the wood beneath his feet shifted, motioning him out the front door.
“Wait a second.“ He wedged his prosthetic between the shutting door and frame. “Right bookcase, third shelf, leather back.”
“What on earth are you talking about?”
“There’s a book that belongs to my family. Ask me how I know.” The question was rhetorical, and in your bafflement, he continued. “My families crest is sealed in its spine. And the only way you could have it is if someone gave it to you. You said you never had visitors. Sorry to say, but I’m not buying it.”
“That book has nothing to do with you or your family,” you glowered, and the stone screeched and howled from your pocket. You clapped your hands against your splitting ears, with your company mimicking your movements. Over the prevailing wails, you cried, “You’re right—I lied and I’m sorry for it! It belonged to your great-grand uncle. And that’s the truth of it.”
The screeching stone fell to whispers. But the thumping of your heart continued to beat in your ears. 
“Wait. My great-grand uncle?” He caught a breath in his throat. “You don’t mean—there’s no possible way you’re talking about—”
“I am.” Your voice dropped to a whisper. “My only visitor before you; Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II.”

A Second Nightfury
Hiccup Haddock x Rider Reader
Summary: based on this post
I remember the first time I met Y/N, the dragon rider. It was a quiet evening, and Toothless and I were out for a leisurely flight when we stumbled upon her feeding her Night Fury.
She looked like she belonged in the wilderness, with her unkempt hair and fierce expression.
When I landed to talk to her, she launched herself at me, knocking me over. She demanded to know who I was and why I was on her territory.
I was taken aback by her ferocity, but I managed to stammer out my name and that I was the chief of Berk.
At first, I was shy around her. She was so different from the people I was used to being around.
But, as we talked, I found myself opening up to her. She was funny and clever, and she had a deep love for her dragon.
I invited her to Berk, hoping that she would join us. But, she hesitated. She had grown used to her solitude and was wary of joining a group of people she didn't know.
It took some convincing, but she finally agreed to visit Berk. And, once she was there, she blended in seamlessly.
Her bond with her Night Fury, combined with her natural affinity for dragons, made her a valuable addition to our community.
Looking back, I can hardly believe that we met by chance like that. But, I'm glad we did. Y/N has become one of my dearest friends and something more, and I couldn't imagine Berk without her.
And now as I smile at her as she reads to our first child who lays his head against her bulging belly which is filled with twins and Toothless and d/n cuddle by the fireplace with their two babies playing fighting.
I couldn't ask for more.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was windy this evening. But you suppose that might be because you’re riding on the back of a dragon.
Your eyes were cast on the water below. Whispers about effective dragon traps being sold to hunters had gotten to Dragons Edge.
Hiccup decided that the group should check it out.
You had heard from some hunters that the shipments of weapons were around this area.
“Hiccup there’s nothing around here!” Astrid shouted from the back of Stormfly
“Keep looking! We can’t risk missing it!” Hiccup called back
You sighed, you’d been out for hours. All you could think about was dinner and your warm bed back on the edge.
“Are we sure that hunter was telling the truth? He could’ve given us random coordinates just so we’d let him go.” Tuffnut pointed out
“Yeah, we might just be wasting our time.” Ruffnut agreed
“We have to be sure.” Hiccup answered
You scanned the steady waters before casting your glances upward. The sky was pretty clear when you had left. Now it was dark, it looked like it was going to storm.
“Hiccup, maybe we should head back before it storms.” You shouted
Hiccup looked back at you, then maneuvered Toothless so the two of you were flying side by side.
“We will. But we have to keep looking.” He responded
“We’ve been looking for hours Hiccup. Maybe it’s time to go home.” You replied
Hiccup sighed, looking at Toothless below him, he was clearly in thought.
He turned his head toward you to speak but was cut off by a shout.
“There!” Fishlegs shouted
Sure enough, a large ship was in sight. It was a little ways away but with the speed of your dragons you were sure to come in contact with it soon.
“Come on!” Hiccup shouted and dived down closer to the water.
The rest of you followed. The cold air hit your face in cold stabs. You closed your eyes for a moment, the air had caused your eyes to water.
You opened your eyes when you felt your dragon straighten out, becoming parrellel with the water below.
“Astrid, Snotlout, attack from the sides. Ruff, Tuff, ring of fire!” Hiccup instructed
The twins shouted with glee, eagerly flying Barf and Belch around the ship to complete their task.
“Fishlegs, scout the area for the traps.” Hiccup looked at you, “We’ll attack from above.”
You nodded, signaling your dragon to follow Toothless.
Arrows with dragon root were already being shot into the air by the time you hovered above the ship. Your dragon expertly dodged all of them.
The ship rocked from the explosion the twins had made.
You expected it to begin to sink but it didn’t.
“Hiccup it’s dragon proof!” Astrid shouted, frustration laced in her voice.
“There aren’t any signs of the traps either!” Fishlegs flew up towards the two of you.
Hiccup groaned in annoyance.
Snotlout took that mement to speak his thoughts, “Well, now that that plans failed, I say we put my plan into play. Fire blazing attack. Snotlout!” Snotlout and Hookfang dived towards the ship.
“No!” Hiccup yelled but it was lost with the wind.
“Yeah!” “Wohoo!” The twins yelled following Snotlout
Hiccup tightened his hands on the reigns, “Toothless, dive!”
You, Astrid, and Fishlegs followed after him.
Your dragons tail whipped out, knocking an arrow from its path to Stormfly.
Astrid sent you a grateful nod.
The blonde yelled and jumped off Stormfly, axe in her hands.
Stormfly hovered in the air loyally, protecting Astrid from above.
“Down.” You said to your dragon
Your dragon landed on the deck of the ship, protecting your back as you pulled your knife out of you pocket, ready to kick some dragon hunter ass.
“Help!” Snotlout shrieked, he and Hookfang were caught in a net.
“There!” You shouted, your dragon blew fire at the net.
Only to reveal it was dragon proof.
You cursed under your breath, mounting your dragon.
Your dragon used its feet to try and lift it, but it was too heavy.
“A little help!” You yelled a little panicked
“A little busy. Gosh, doesn’t anyone respect the art of the fight.” You heard Tuffnut say
“I’m coming!” Fishlegs said
The two of you tried lifting the net but it was still too heavy.
“I’m here.” Astrid came over.
The three of you were able to lift the net up long enough for Hookfang and Snotlout to get out.
“We had it handled.” Snotlout said once they were in the air
You rolled your eyes but dived back down.
Hiccup and Toothless were corned by a group of hunters. Your dragon sent a blast, knocking the hunters out the way, and creating a path for Toothless and Hiccup.
The rain started coming down heavy.
The clouds were dark and it was hard to see anything other than your dragon blast.
Which is why you didn’t see a hunter cut a rope till a dragon proof cage fell down, trapping Hiccup and Toothless.
“Drop me here.” You instructed your dragon. You hopped off its back and pulled out your blade once more.
You punched the first hunter you came in contact with, knocking him out. You searched through his jacket hoping to find the key to the cage.
Your dragon roared, alerting you of the hunter that was running towards you. You dodged his attack. You turned ready to fight, just to notice he had knocked himself out by accidentally banging his head on a wooden pole while grabbing for you.
You repeated your process, but still no key.
You heard a deep chuckle and saw a hunter aiming an arrow at the twins.
You tackled him to the floor. His large hands trying to push you off so he could run away.
You noticed the keys at the last second, grabbing them from his belt without him noticing as he ran for shelter. Only to be stopped from a blast from Hookfang.
You rushed over to Hiccup and Toothless, quickly letting them out.
“It must have been a trap.” Hiccup said, “Get in the air, quick!” He shouted mounting Toothless and flying upward.
You looked around but you couldn’t spot your dragon with the rain. You could hear them, but you couldn’t see them.
You looked back toward where Hiccup had been but he too was gone.
They were still here, you could hear them, even over the sound of the pouring rain, you could hear them.
Before you could call for your dragon, a firm grip grasped your wrist, the one with the bad that was holding your knife, and they turned it, hard.
You shrieked in pain.
You could hear your dragon call out in worry after hearing your pain. But they couldn’t get to you with all the arrows.
After an arrow narrowly missed their eye you had had enough.
“Go! Go with the others!” You shouted but your dragon didn’t move, “Go, there’s nothing you can do for me right now!” Your dragon roared regretfully.
The hunter holding you placed their hand over your mouth.
“Stay still pretty.” The hunter whispered
Angered, you bit down on his hand.
The hunter staggered back in pain. You tried to make a run for it, but you had already been surrounded by armed hunters.
You placed your hands up in defeat. You couldn’t fight ten to twelve hunters by yourself.
You thought they were just going to tie your wrists when a hand came from behind you, placing a cloth over your mouth.
You gasped in surprise.
Soon, your vision was fading, and you couldn’t tell the difference between the rain and your pounding heart.
————————
You coughed, again, and again, until your were fully conscious.
“Quiet brother, our guest has awaken.” A frighteningly familiar voice said
You looked up in shock. Sure enough it was Viggo with Ryker standing threateningly behind him.
“Sleep well?” Viggo asked faux kindness
You only glared back.
Viggo shrugged, unphased, “Fair enough.” He muttered
“I say we slit her throat.” Ryker said
You shivered involuntarily in fear.
Viggo sighed, clearly annoyed, “I’ve told you this big brother, we need her alive for this to work.”
“Just tell the dragon riders that she is alive.” Ryker said
Viggo shook his head, looking like a dissapointed father, “Hiccup is too smart for that. We need her alive and well. Now…” He turned to look at you, his expression changing back to the faux friendliness, “Is there anything you’d like to share with us?” He asked
You glared in return, partly because you wanted to annoy them, and partly because your throat ached.
Viggo sighed, dissapointed but not suprised, “Very well, throw her in a cell till we reach land.”
Two lower ranking guards nodded and picked you up, one of them on each arm.
You went to stand as they began moving but collapsed.
Viggo looked at you, again unsurprised, “I probably should’ve mentioned that you won’t be able to walk properly for a little while. Some side affects of the poison.”
Your eyes widened but he didn’t cast a second glance at you.
The guards dragged you downstairs and threw you into a dragon proof cell.
You looked around and saw that there were dragons in the other cells.
None the same type as your dragon, but there was a deadly nadder, which reminded you of Astrid and Stormfly. A couple gronkles too, which made you think of Fishlegs and Meatlug.
Astrid would’ve come up with a plan to get you out of here. She would’ve been able to take out the guards no problem.
Fishlegs would’ve known what they gave you. He would’ve known what to use to heal you.
The twins would’ve talked about something stupid and come up with jokes during inappropriate times that would’ve made you want to laugh.
Snotlout would’ve complained about being trapped. He would name all of his favorite things and complain that he’d never get to do them again. He might’ve even sang some of the lullaby’s his mother used to sing to him.
And Hiccup…oh how you wish Hiccup was here. You didn’t want to be alone. Surrounded by enemies and dragons that wanted nothing to do with you. Hiccup would’ve tried to befriend the dragons so they could both escape.
You didn’t have the energy for that though. You were tired. You were so tired. Your head hurt. The wooden walls of the ship were extremely uncomfortable but they were all you had.
You wanted your dragon, or your friends. You wanted Hiccup. He’d convince you that everything would be okay, even if they weren’t.
But you were all alone.
————————————
You were awaken by the sound of metal banging.
One of the hunters was banging his axe against the bars of your cell. He was grinning.
You clenched your teeth, wanting nothing more than to knock out his teeth.
“Wakey wakey.” He said, waving his axe as if he was greeting you with a wave of the hand.
You growled under your breath in annoyance.
“Ryker said to take you above deck.” The man said, using his keys to unlock your cell.
The dragons around you roared in protest.
“Oh shut up you stupid lizards!” The man yelled
You clenched your teeth. One, he needed to be punched, preferably by you. Two, the loud noises were not helping your headache.
The hunter yanked you up by your arm, causing you to gasp in pain.
“Whoops, did I hurt you.” He laughed
You considered trying to trip him, but then shut down the idea knowing if he went down you went down with him.
Your legs dragged on the floor through the lower deck and the steps were worse.
The hunter grumbled because he had to practically carry you up.
The feeling of the sun was the same as running head first into a tree.
You could barely keep your eyes open.
“Oh, looks who’s awake.” Ryker said, “You, take her down to the tent next to Viggos. Tie her to the bed post and leave.”
You guessed he was addressing the hunter that was currently yanking you around because suddenly you were being dragged down a ramp.
Again, not good, not good at all.
You heard the sound of fabric being moved and the sun wasn’t as bright behind your eyes, so you assumed you were now in said tent.
You opened up and sure enough, you were right.
The guard used some rope to tie one of your wrists to the bed post. He made sure to do it extra tight.
You fought the urge to cry out as you felt the rope dig into your skin.
The hunter sneered at the sight of you helpless, but followed his orders and walked out without a word.
You rested your head on the bed. You felt like you had been thrown off a mountain.
A few moments later you heard the tent open, for a moment you wondered if it was Viggo. And the hopeful side of you hoped it was one of your friends.
It was neither. This time, it was a different hunter. He was carrying a food of plate in one hand and a cup with what you assumed was water in the other.
You wondered if he wanted you to watch him eat. Or if Viggo had sent him to make you watch him eat.
“Viggo says you should eat.” The hunter said
Of course. “Alive and well.” Viggo had said.
Hiccup wouldn’t be happy to find out they had starved you. Then again he probably wasn’t happy they kidnapped you either.
As the hunter walked back out you peered at your food.
It was a well served plate. Plenty of food to eat, and it looked good as well. It smelled good too.
But looking at it made you nauseous. So you decided against eating.
You reached for the cup of water, as you wrapped your hands around it a loud sound could be heard from outside your tent. You jumped in suprise and your water spilled, with barely a couple drops of water left in your cup.
You wanted to cry out in frustration.
You once again hoped for your friends to be on the other side of the tent but once again you were dissapointed to hear Ryker shouting at some men for dropping something.
You sighed, laying your head back once more in hope to sleep until your friends got here.
———————-
“-up. Wake up!” A voice shouted
You jumped, opening your eyes to see Ryker in front of you with an impatient expression.
“Lucky you, your friends have come to save you.” He said
He hauled you up and you were dragged out into an open field.
The sun had mostly gone down, the sky was dark. Thankfully you could keep your eyes open now without a headache.
Walking further you could make out Viggos back, getting closer you could finally make them out. The dragon riders, your friends, stood together, with Hiccup at the front.
Oh you could cry in joy.
You heard a familiar roar. Your dragon was here too. Hovering above and looking straight at you.
Your dragon had announced your prescense as all your friends looked over to you at once.
Some looked shocked, others relieved, some angry. A couple had a mixture.
Hiccup called out your name and stepped forward but Viggo held up his hand and stepped to the side in front of you. Viggo blocked your view from Hiccup and in turn blocked Hiccups view to you.
“I’m a businessman Hiccup. One does not make these type of transactions without getting something in return.” Viggo said
“What do you want Viggo?” Hiccup asked, he sounded very frustrated.
“I want the papers you stole from me. Do you have them?”
Hiccup didn’t answer for a moment but seeing the back of Viggos head nod you assumed that Hiccup did have them.
You heard the sound of a buckle and some footsteps. You saw Viggos hand reach out but it stopped midway.
“One doesn’t make a trade without getting something in return.” Hiccup said
Viggo chuckled in amusement, “Yes yes. Big brother.”
Ryker walked forward with you. When you could see Hiccup again you could make out the stress in his posture and the worry in his eyes. You tried to smile but it probably didn’t look right.
“Do we have a deal?” Viggo asked
Hiccup sighed, “We have a deal.” He outstretched his hand with the pieces of parchment.
Viggo took them, opened them, scanned them, then nodded toward Ryker.
Ryker pushed you forward and Hiccup caught you.
Your face was against his chest and you breathed in his scent.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Hiccup tried to sooth you.
“What did you do to her?” Fishlegs cried
“Relax. It’s simply a side affect of the poison.” Viggo answered
You heard a collected gasp from your friends.
“You poisened her!” Snotlout yelled
“You monster!” Fishlegs said
“How dare you!” Astrid screamed
“Not cool, dude.” Tuffnut said
“So, not cool.” Ruffnut agreed
“It’s a common poison, I assure you. I’m sure you’ll be able to heal her just fine.” Viggo said, unphased
“We better.” Hiccup threatened
“Farewell, dragons riders. I’m sure we will see each other very soon.” Viggo said
Hiccup, and you guessed Astrid helped you walk over to Toothless. There was no way you could fly your dragon, you knew that.
Astrid and Fishlegs helped you on to Toothless after Hiccup mounted.
Your back rested against Hiccups chest. His arms coming around your waist to hold onto the reigns.
“We’ll be home soon enough.” Hiccup whispered
That was the last thing you heard before you fell asleep.
——————————-
The next morning was odd.
Like waking up after a dream kind of odd.
You realized that a damp cloth was rested on your forehead. You reached up to grab it when a hand, gently this time, grabbed your wrist.
“Leave it be. It’s meant to help you.” A voice muttered
“Hiccup.” You rasped
“Hey, yeah, it’s me.” Hiccup said, placing his hand over yours.
You heard a quiet grumble.
Hiccup looked over his shoulder, “And these guys too.”
Looking over, Toothless and your dragon were watching the two of you closely.
“Hey guys.” You said weakly
Your dragon walked over to your carefully. They gently rubbed their head against yours.
“I missed you too.” You whispered
“She’s awake!” Another voice said
You grimaced at how loud they were speaking.
“Sorry.” You heard them say
Fishlegs and Meatlug were walking toward you.
Hiccup moved from the chair he was sitting on so Fishlegs could get a better look at you.
Fishlegs examined you for a few moments before asking, “How do you feel?”
“Better.” You responded, “Thank you.”
“Of course.” Fishlegs replied
You looked toward Meatlug, “What’s the final judgement, doc?”
Meatlug grumbled something and Fishlegs translated, “She said you’ll make a full recovery.”
“Thanks the gods, you’re alright.” A new voice said
Astrid made her way into view and smiled down at you.
“You really had us worried you know.” Astrid added
“Not me though.” Snotlout added in
Everyone glared at him and he went quiet.
“She’s awake?” Tuffnut asked
“Of course she’s awake look at her!” Ruff replied, “Have you ever seen someone sleep with their eyes open?”
Tuff went into his thinking face, “Well, there was this one time we were at…”
Hiccup made his way back over to you and grabbed your hand.
“Perhaps we should go.” Astrid said
“I agree.” Fishlegs said
“What? But we just got here!” Ruff said
“Yeah! She’s our friend too, why does Hiccup get to hog her?” Tuff added in
Astrid grabbed both of them by the shoulders and walked them out, Fishlegs and Snotlout following behind. Not before Snotlout sent a disgusted look towards the two of you though.
Hiccup sent a look toward the dragons, a silent request, and they too left.
“Thank you for coming back for me.” You whispered
“You didn’t think we were gonna leave you there, did you?” Hiccup chuckled
You smiled, “I knew you would come back for me.”
Hiccup smiled too, “I would never not come back for you.”

How about Astrid ruffnut hiccup and heather x a smartass reader who rides a timerjack, because I know the pain of not being able to scratch my back.
Astrid,ruffnut,hiccup and heather x smartass reader who rides a timberjack
*demon noises*👹
My first httyd request!,I love timberjacks they're so cool,I love most the dragons tho so.
Not being able to scratch your back must be a pain in the ass :/
Has been proofread
Tumblr media
Astrid
I dont think It would be a surprise that you and her would get along
Your both badasses and smart
However sometimes you do lose her,if you go into particular detail she doesn't always understand
Stormfly and your timberjack get along extremely well,they're both beautiful and magnificent dragons
It's nice to sometimes just go on a night flight together with no one annoying you
She likes to listen to your ideas and rambles,even if she cant understand everything she still listens
On winter nights you both take a walk sometimes and sit under a tree whilst your timberjack sheilds you from the cold
If your ever running low on wood you,her stormfly and your timberjack go to a forest and have a day of chopping wood and having fun.
She likes to watch when you and hiccup or fishlegs play masons and talons agaisnt eachother,obviously cheering you on
If your timberjack ever needs their back scratched pleas do it
During missions Astrid and stormfly will stay close to you and try deflect any arrows that get to close to you since your timberjacks wings are so big
Having date nights when it's raining underneath a timberjacks wing>>
She likes to chip in on your dragon ramblings
If you do any illustrations or make anything she'll ask if she can see it,she likes seeing your work :)
Loves to spar with you
Tumblr media
Ruffnut
She loves you so much
Your relationship dynamic is literally,stupid chaotic and smart(chaotic/good/etc)
She likes to give your timberjack back scratches
She loves to listen to your rambles,she wont understand anything but she'll sit there like this (////ó//w//ò////)
Shes head over heels for you
She puts her full trust in the words you say,you could just be saying the stupidest shit ever and she'll completely agree with you
She likes the fact that you have a destructive dragon
She will test how sharp your timberjacks talons are so you might want to supervise her around your timberjack

Tuffnut is nice to you(mainly so ruffnut dosnt do anything to macey)
Will ask if she can ride your timberjack,if you do say yes just make sure she dosnt end up decimating berks trees
Tumblr media
Hiccup
I think it's pretty obvious that you would both get along
Both of you give your own input and ideas/suggestions to eachother
Hes never met someone who rides a timberjack so he will ask if he can study them
If you allow him to he will be very careful and delicate
Toothless and the timberjack get along so well,and they are both so cute,you found your timberjack with its wing on toothless with both of them sleeping once
Hiccup is very supportive of your ideas and constantly asks for your opinion and ideas
During the time when him and viggo where at each others necks he asks you what you think would be the right move,hes especially stressed with the viggo situation so he needs all the help and support he can get.
He and toothless help you and your timberjack improve on dodging and evasive maneuvers
Sometimes if you help with the twins and snotlout hes ever so grateful
He loves how smart you are and if he's ever on a mission with you and one of the twins or snotlout tags along you basically translate what hiccups saying
Tumblr media
Heather
She dosnt always understand what you say but she'll try her best
She trys to learn more and read books so she understands you more
She feels bad for not always understanding you but she makes up for it by being affectionate
She loves to spar with you and try improve not only her own skills but your aswell
Windshear and her cover for you alot,windshears scales are very thick and so she can take hits every so often
She finds your timberjack very fascinating
Your timberjack and windshear get along very well
You and heather once had a friendly competition to see whether windshears spines were sharper or your timberjacks talons
Every so often she likes playing masons and talons with you
Although dagur may at first seem stand off-ish and harsh hes not,hes just protective and worried for heather
You are one of the only people who windshear let's ride her

Tumblr media
The description is down below. This is also on my Wattpad and Quotev! Enjoy!
Description: Fly High Dragon King | (You are Here) More about you: More about you Prologue: New Home From Across the Sea Chapter 1: Old Friends from the Starry Sky |TBW Chapter 2: The Chieftain's Decision | TBW Chapter 3: My Good Friend and Maybe Yours | TBW Chapter 4: Understanding This Way of Life | TBW Chapter 5: Convincing Her of Sky Bound Beauty | TBW Chapter 6: Lifelong Friends Over War | TBW Chapter 7: The Queen Faces the King | TBW
Tumblr media
Growing up with dragons, Y/n became something like one. He didn't have wings or a tail, but he had the scales, teeth, and appetite of one. Not to mention his aging stunted. His body adapted to live with these glorious winged reptiles as he made his home in their nest. He was stuck, at the age of 2, living with these dragons for 10 years. These dragons would try to provide him some education; bringing him books from the vikings boats they had shot down. The dragons all cared for Y/n as their own, and he loved each of them dearly. All dragons knew him as the Dragon King. No dragon would defy him, not even the babies. Y/n would fly with them and would act like them. But after those 10 years, Y/n wanted to explore and figure out what made up vikings and why they would hurt the creatures he cared so much for. With the help of 2 night furies, whom he had befriended over those 10 years, they brought him to an abandoned ship and Y/n had sailed away. After a few months of sailing, his boat crashed into Berk, and he became a part of their community as he tried to understand the reason they killed those he considered family.

Through Fire & Blood I
Tumblr media
hi idk how to use Tumblr lol. So originally this was just gonna be a one-shot but I got a bit stuck and decided to release it as a series, it'll probably have very slow updates tho please be warned. yes, that title is a reference to House Targaryen. I have tried to keep both dragon and rider vague to allow the reader to picture their dragon and their rider
Through Fire & Blood I
Rengoku Kyōjurō x DragonRider!MC
The first time Kyōjurō Rengoku see’s you it's from afar. In fact, he didn't even see you, Just a majestic dragon with a mysterious rider. The gusts of wind graced his form even when he was standing 1000 meters away, all because you and your dragon were flying amongst the heavens. Truly a sight to behold. This world was no stranger to the creatures but to see the winged beasts here in the east was a rarer sight with most of the eastern dragons remaining reclusive, and yet here you were! A dragon rider! Such a concept here was unheard of! Such creatures were either revered or hunted. Hunted and feared more like. Perhaps you were here to end that practice. Although, how you could accomplish such a feat on your own, he hadn't the faintest clue. Anyhow as fascinating of a thought it was, the end of the dragon war, Kyōjurō had a war of his own to fight. 
That night the idea of dragons still plagued Kyōjurō’s mind. As he wandered his usual patrol route he thought of what it'd be like to patrol from the skies on the back of a dragon. When he swung his sword he thought of the bright and brilliant flames of dragon fire. After Kyōjurō had finished his nightly patrol, when he lay comfortably in his futon, he thought of the stories his mother had often told him before bed. She had always been well-versed in other cultures.
The story of how the Hooligan tribe of Berk learned to live peacefully with the dragons was always one of Kyōjurō’s favourites. A young boy wanted to become a dragonslayer so he could prove to his father that he was worthy of being a Viking. It wasn't dissimilar to Kyōjurō’s own desires to prove himself to his family, namely his father that he was worthy of them. one night the boy snuck out during an attack on the village and managed to shoot down a dragon that was the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. When the boy travelled into the woods the next day to finish what he started he found himself incapable and instead freed the beast. In the following weeks, the boy and the dragon became friends and set in motion the events that would lead to peace with the dragons. While the rest of the story didn't relate to Kyōjurō, he couldn't deny the idea of putting an end to a war that’d been going on for centuries certainly did sound appealing, especially with his family’s pivotal role in the Demon Slayer Corps being that of Hashira. Recounting the events of such a near and dear tale had Kyōjurō’s eyes going heavy as the distant memory of his mother’s embrace lulled him to sleep.
The second time Kyōjurō Rengoku see’s you he’s eating lunch. A trio of riders with you at the head saunter in with a certain swagger to your step and dragons at your heels, all before one of the restaurant staff appears to shoo the animals out “No animals inside! Out with those beasts!” She cried. Kyōjurō watched from behind the towering stacks of empty dishes as your group sent their dragons outside and proceeded to order their party’s food. 
Soon after the trio of riders leave the restaurant to take their seats outside Kyōjurō resumes his meal, a hearty umai with every bite. It seems however, Kyōjurō’s jubilant exclamations of ‘delicious’ had caught the eye–well ear, rather–of a certain member of the gang of riders.
while the heated gaze of others wasn’t an uncommon occurrence for him, this time was different. He could sense the unwavering gaze of unknown eyes searing into his temple with such an intensity that it gave him pause to his meal to observe whoever could watch him with such fierceness. His search was over as soon as his gaze met yours. Your eyes had locked for no more than a moment before you quickly set your sights back on your meal, your friends chatting away as if nothing had happened. Did anything happen? Surely it must’ve, judging by the way your eyes flickered between him and your food or the subtle warmth on your cheeks or even the muted flush of his own cheeks.
--
I hoped you liked it :3

Noble Blood - Chapter Four
hello again friends! sorry the wait between chapters was so much longer than the last two. life has been..... messy, to put it lightly. but the chapter is finished now and i'm posting it before i overthink it too much. i hope you enjoy!
fic masterlist here | read on ao3 here | wc: 2.4k | cw: gender neutral reader, gojo being a drama queen, a little bit of yaga slander (by gojo), that's pretty much it.
Tumblr media
Not much changed after the new year’s festival. Satoru went back to his training sessions with Yaga while you and the rest of your friends attended school and filled your free time however you saw fit. 
Winter quickly turned to spring, and before you knew it, the sakura trees were in full bloom, the soft pink-white petals dancing on the breeze and covering the streets, the delicate perfume from the blossoms filling the air and making everything seem brighter.
All of those things also reminded you of the sakura tree that grew outside of Satoru’s bedroom, and it made you miss him even more than you already did. But springtime had a habit of bringing hope and with it, and you allowed yourself to imagine things would get better soon, and you would be able to spend your days with Satoru as you used to. 
It felt almost too good to be true when you stepped out of your house one morning to see Satoru and Shoko waiting for you outside.
“Thank god you’re here,” Shoko said. “He’s been driving me nuts while we were waiting. Says he has big news, or something, but that’s all I can get out of him.”
“Because we don’t have everybody here yet!” Satoru said, sticking his tongue out at Shoko before turning back to you and smiling brightly. “C’mon, we have a couple more stops to make.”
Unwilling to question how or why your friend was able to come down from the estate and spend time with all of you again, you nodded, following eagerly after him as he headed off down the road, presumably to pick up Utahime, then to see the Nanami siblings. 
“Do you have any idea what he’s on about?” Shoko asked, leaning in a bit closer to you as the two of you followed the boy. 
The only thing you could think of was that Satoru had finally decided to tell the rest of your friends that he had Kenji, regardless of what his parents wanted; he’d bonded with Kenji nearly three months before, and you were the only person outside the Gojo clan – besides Yaga – that knew Satoru had his dragon.
“None at all,” you told her, offering an apologetic smile. 
She sighed, rolled her eyes. “I bet it’s not even anything important, he’s just tired of being cooped up at home and he wants us all to pay attention to him again.”
You said nothing in response, knowing that she was going to be absolutely floored when she found out about Kenji, though stifling your laughter over her words was hard.
“Are you guys talking about me back there?” Satoru asked, glancing over his shoulder at you and grinning. “I am the most interesting person you know, after all.”
“We’re talking about how annoying you are,” Shoko said, and her words were made even funnier by her completely deadpan delivery. Satoru scowled at her, sticking his tongue out for the second time that morning, and this time Shoko returned the gesture. All you could do was laugh at them.
It wasn’t long before the three of you reached Utahime’s house, and Shoko volunteered to be the one to knock on the door; Utahime and Satoru were friends, yes, but if she only saw him and didn’t know that anyone else was with him yet, the odds that she would shut the door in his face were high.
Utahime looked past Shoko with narrowed eyes at Satoru, though her expression relaxed when she saw you standing there with him, and after a moment she stepped outside to join the rest of you.
“What’s the ‘big news’ you have?” she asked your white haired friend suspiciously. 
“I can’t tell you yet!” he declared with a grin. “We have to go get Nanamin first.” It was still exceedingly funny to you that Satoru still insisted on calling Kento by a diminutive of his last name, rather than by his first name like the rest of you did. Kento didn’t find it all that amusing, but he never complained about it, either.
And so, off the four of you went, Satoru leading the way while the rest of you followed after him. As you all filed into the bakery, you were greeted warmly by Kento’s father, Ginger perched on his shoulder for the time being.
“Hello, Nanami-san!” Satoru chirped, offering the older man a slight bow in greeting. 
“Is Kento here?” Utahime asked curiously. 
His father nodded. “Yes, I believe he’s upstairs. Kokoro is resting right now though, I’m afraid. She had a bit of a fever last night and didn’t sleep very well.”
You and Utahime frowned at that and offered your condolences, while Shoko gave a slight nod; her parents, as the healers of the settlement, always seemed to get busier when the seasons changed.
“I’ll tell him you’re here,” your friend’s father said, before turning and stepping out of the bakery and up to his home on the second floor.
As the four of you waited for him, your gaze drifted to the cookies on the display trays; now that spring was well underway, some of the seasonal flavors had come back, and you were happy to see them. There were the plain shortbread cookies, as always, but there were others now, too: petal-pink cookies cut carefully in the shapes of the flowers that flavored them filled one tray, while another tray was lined with circle-shaped cookies you knew to be flavored with the same green tea your mother drank in the mornings. You must have been staring harder than you realized, because next thing you knew, Satoru was poking your cheek to get your attention.
“Hungry?” he asked, somewhat teasingly.
You rolled your eyes at his question. “They’re pretty,” you said after a moment. “I like seeing them every year.”
Satoru said nothing, just gave a small hum in response, but he looked up at Kento’s father with a smile once the man returned to the counter, his son trailing behind him. “Nanami-san, I’d like to buy some cookies before we all head out.”
You blinked at him in surprise, not having expected him to indulge you in such a way. He requested five of the sakura cookies and five of the matcha cookies – one of each flavor for each member of your group – and after tilting his head slightly towards his shoulder, as if he were listening to something, he also asked for one regular shortbread cookie.
Once the treats were paid for and wrapped up, Satoru accepted them and led everyone back outside, insisting he had something important to tell everyone.
“I bet it’s not even actually important,” Kento grumbled, though he did easily accept his share of the cookies as they were passed to him. He took a bite out of the matcha one, chewing it carefully and swallowing it before adding, “He just wants to feel important.”
If only you knew, you thought, but you said nothing; you doubted your white haired friend would forgive you anytime soon if you stole his thunder.
The group stopped once everyone reached the large, gnarled maple tree that stood about halfway between the bakery and the schoolhouse. Without any words being exchanged, Satoru sat with his back to the trunk, the rest of you sitting in a half circle in front of him.
“Will you please drop the theatrics now and just tell us already?” Utahime asked, somehow still scowling as she chewed on her cookie. 
Letting out a sigh that was very decidedly theatric, the boy relented. “Fine, fine, I suppose I’ve kept you all in suspense long enough.” He cleared his throat, sat up a bit straighter and, with a grin, announced, “I have a dragon.”
Before anyone even had time to call his bluff, Satoru pulled the plain shortbread cookie from the paper packaging, held it up closer to his shoulder, and said, “You can come out now, Kenji.”
Kenji, who apparently had a flare for the dramatic as much as Satoru did, poked his head out of the collar of the boy’s light jacket, then made a beeline for the cookie, climbing onto Satoru’s shoulder and taking the cookie into his mouth once it was within reach. 
“You’re welcome,” your friend pointedly told his dragon, when he got no sort of thanks for the treat. Kenji made a suspiciously mocking sound in response, though he never tore his attention away from the cookie he was nibbling on.
Throughout the whole exchange, your friends stared at Satoru and Kenji, eyes wide and jaws slack, as if unable to believe what they were seeing. Knowing you had probably looked very similar when you first saw Kenji, you had to stifle a giggle.
Shoko, who was sitting closest to you, noticed your muffled laughter, and she turned towards you, still wide-eyed. “You knew?” she asked incredulously. “You knew he had his dragon and you didn’t tell us?”
“He would’ve thrown a huge fit if I told you before he did!” you defended.
“My parents wanted Kenji kept a secret at first,” Satoru added, coming to your defense as well.
“But they still knew before the rest of us did!” Utahime cut in. “How is that fair?”
You didn’t have an answer for that, so you turned to Satoru, hoping your white haired menace of a friend had an answer that would satisfy everyone.
“Because they’re Satoru’s best friend,” Shoko said, before the boy could answer for himself. It was clear in the way she emphasized “best friend” that she meant something else, and though you weren’t sure what, you found your feelings were a bit hurt by…whatever the implication was; the confusion and hurt you felt doubled as you watched Shoko, Kento, and Utahime all exchange a knowing glance. You turned to Satoru then, assuming he would be just as confused as you were, but he’d got a bit red in the face, and was very pointedly not looking at you, instead focusing on Kenji as the dragon practically mauled the cookie he’d been given.
“What’s important is that I’m telling you guys now,” Satoru insisted, still failing to meet your eyes, though his gaze did flash in your direction for a brief moment. “Besides,” he added, “he’s not even that exciting yet. All he does is steal my food and pretend he doesn’t understand what I’m saying to him during training.”
Apparently taking great offense at the snowy haired boy’s words, Kenji turned to face Satoru, making a series of displeased noises that were clearly some sort of complaint. 
“You know it’s true— ow!”
At first you were shocked as you watched Kenji bite Satoru on the hand, but you relaxed when you realized he hadn’t actually broken the skin, and you laughed at how smug the little dragon looked, clinging to your friend’s arm and holding the cookie in his mouth as Satoru attempted to shake him off in retaliation for the bite. 
“How is training going?” Shoko asked curiously, tilting her head slightly and slowly chewing a bite of her own cookie as she waited for an answer. “I’ve seen your teacher in town some, he seems prickly.”
“Yaga-sensei is sooooo boring,” Satoru sighed dramatically, apparently deciding to forgive Kenji for biting him, at least for the time being. “He makes me do the same exercises every day.”
“Do you and Kenji have those exercises learned yet?” asked Kento.
“No.”
“Then that’s why you keep having to do them.”
“But it’s so boring!”
“What’s his dragon like?” you cut in, realizing then that the one time you’d met Yaga, he had not had a dragon with him.
“You mean Panda?” Satoru asked, his brows furrowed slightly as if he were deep in thought.
“He doesn’t have a dragon?”
“Where did he even get a panda, anyways?” Utahime added, her features pinched together in confusion.
“No, he does have a dragon. The dragon’s name is Panda,” Satoru explained with a small smile on his face. “But I agree, it’s a stupid name for a dragon.”
“I’m assuming Panda is black and white?” you asked, trying to steer the conversation away from possibly dissolving into pointless bickering.
“Obviously,” Satoru replied, rolling his eyes. When he caught the way you were scowling at him, though, he straightened up a bit. “Yeah, Panda’s black and white. He does actually look a lot like a panda, it’s weird.”
“Can he fly?” This time Kento was the one to ask.
“I don’t think so? He doesn’t have any wings, at least, and I’ve never seen him fly.”
As the rest of your friends tossed questions at Satoru about his training, about Yaga, about Panda, just trying to get a feel for how much of his life had changed in the last couple of months, you were more than happy just to listen, but you looked down when you felt something on your leg.
Unnoticed by everyone else – including Satoru – Kenji had made his way across the space between where he and his rider sat, all the way over to you, who he had apparently deemed a better companion for the time being.
You watched with a smile as the dragon steadily made his way up your leg, and you offered him your hand to give him a more direct path to your shoulder. That seemed to be all the invitation he needed, and he quickly scampered up your arm, settling on your shoulder as he finished the last piece of the cookie he’d been given earlier. 
After the dragon settled down in his new spot, you made an effort to move as little as possible, not wanting to jostle or upset him at all. You still weren’t sure why Kenji had taken a liking to you specifically and nobody else – besides Satoru, of course – but you tried not to question it too much; he didn’t seem to want anything from you, nor did it seem like he wanted to cause you problems, so you were content to let him seek you out whenever he saw fit. You may not have met your own dragon yet, but having caught the attention of your friend’s solid color dragon made you feel special.
Deep down you also hoped maybe it was a sign that you would meet your own dragon soon, and that maybe you’d be lucky enough to bond with a rare, special dragon, like Kenji.

Weeks passed. You learned your way around and met the other people who lived there. Not just the riders, but the kitchen staff too. You learned how everything worked, when to eat, where to wash up. Everything. 
It was different from how your life had been before, but different didn't mean bad. Not in this case. 
You never heard another word about your would-be husband. And you certainly didn't ask - that would be inviting trouble. 
The hardest thing to adapt to was the most integral part of your role here. 
The dragons. 
Caba was very calm every time you interacted with him… which was quite a bit in the beginning, as Alejandro used him to demonstrate how the harnesses went on and where they wore the most. Caba didn't mind being used as a show model, remaining calm around you. 
Unfortunately, that could not be said of every dragon. 
The youngest dragon in the garrison, a blue female, actually knocked you off your feet when you met her. Her rider was apologetic, helping you back to your feet. The freshly-chastened dragon drooped like a misbehaving pup while Caba oversaw the fitting process for her harness. 
You did not get knocked over a second time. But it did take multiple washes to get all the mud off you later.
After that little incident, Caba or Alejandro was around for every new dragon you met. You weren't sure if you were flattered, or disgruntled. 
Perhaps the most interesting thing to you was how self-contained the garrison was. Supplies came from the capital regularly, but the garrison otherwise seemed to be run by Alejandro. He oversaw everything, from training to rotations to travel. He didn't seem to need to ask anyone above him for anything, which seemed both curious and, if you were being honest, appealing. 
An honest man, with a sense of humor, who treated everyone well and didn't place himself above the others? And one who was also competent and ran his garrison well? 
Honestly, you were surprised he didn't have a spouse already. 
(He didn't. You knew because you'd caught some of the younger riders gossiping.) 
You were, however, surprised when he approached you after breakfast one day. You didn't always sit at his table, only sometimes. Usually when he or Rodolfo flagged you down. This was the first time he had approached you, usually summoning you to his side instead. 
“How much work do you have today?” He asked, walking next to you as you put your dirty dishes in the bins. 
“Not a lot, nothing urgent,” you responded slowly. You had a custom order you were excited to work on, but that could wait another day. Especially if Alejandro needed you for something. 
He flashed a grin at you, nearly making your knees wobble. “So you have time free.” 
“I do,” you agreed, eyeing him. “Why?”
“Do you trust me?” He stopped in the hallway, turning fully to face you. 
You nodded slowly, looking at him. “I do.” 
“Meet me outside in twenty minutes. Wear something warmer.” He held your gaze, magnetic and unavoidable. 
“Okay,” you agreed, soft and a little surprised. But you hadn't lied. You did trust him. 
At least enough to trust that he wouldn't toss you out of the overlook, or anything like that.
It took very little time to grab a warm coat and gloves, since you weren't exactly sure what you were going to be doing. The walk outside was full of the typical bustle of the garrison - you passed riders going every which way, and as you passed near the kitchen, the chatter and chinking of washing reached your ears. 
It was amazing to think about how quickly this had become home to you. 
Alejandro stood outside next to Caba, waiting on you, dressed in his riding leathers. You allowed yourself only a moment or two to let your gaze wander over the well-fitted leathers before looking to the dragon instead. 
To your surprise, he wore a modified version of his harness. 
“We don't need the full harness,” Alejandro said, having correctly guessed your line of thinking from the surprise in your face and the line of your gaze. “Not for this.”
“And what is this?” You asked hesitantly, stopping in front of him. 
Alejandro grinned, bright and pleased, with only a little humor. “You said you trust me.” 
“I do,” you reiterated, only to squeak when Alejandro grabbed your hand and pulled you to Caba. “What–?” 
But Alejandro offered no answer beyond stopping next to Caba, who had obligingly laid down to make his shoulder not entirely out of reach. Alejandro knelt and patted his thigh. 
“You can reach the straps to help pull yourself up,” he offered, watching you. “It is easier if you have a boost to start.” 
You stared at him for a moment before turning your gaze to the dragon. “What?” You squeaked. 
Alejandro did his best not to laugh at you, lips clamped together even as his shoulders shook. “Up you go,” he encouraged, hints of laughter in his voice.
You thought about protesting, but, well. You did trust him. So you took a deep breath and used his proferred thigh as a step up. Your ascent up Caba's shoulder was not graceful, but you also didn't slide back down. You'd take that as a good thing. You felt very high up, sitting on his back as you were. 
Alejandro climbed up after you, making it look easy. He sat behind you, his thighs bracketing yours. You swallowed, suddenly quite warm. 
“Hold here,” Alejandro murmured, low and close to your ear, reaching past you to pull on a strap. You grabbed it tight, partially to hide the shaking in your fingers. “Don't worry. I won't let you fall.” One of his hands settled at your waist. You sucked in a sharp breath, partially disguised by the sudden movement under you as Caba got to his feet. You rocked with the movement, startled. 
Caba didn't give you any time to adjust, though. He just started away from the garrison, using the open flat space to gain some speed. Massive leathery wings snapped out at his sides. You squeezed the strap tighter at the first sweep of those wings, feeling unsteady but for Alejandro's solid presence at your back. 
One more downsweep and Caba launched into the air, the pressure pushing you back against Alejandro. He held firm, his grip on your waist reassuring. 
Caba leveled out soon after, the pressure easing. Wind whipped in your face, cold but clear. You blinked rapidly as you adjusted, breathing in slowly. 
Alejandro squeezed your waist gently, His head close to yours as he shouted to be heard over the wind. “Look now.” 
You did, and gasped. From here you could just barely see the coast, blue stretching for miles and miles. The river valley below seemed very far away, though the river sparkled where it came down from the mountains and snaked across the land. You couldn't look down for long, though, before you started to feel dizzy. 
But you didn't fear falling. Not with Alejandro pressed up close behind you as he was. 
It didn't take long for your nose to go nearly numb, the cold wind seeping your warmth. No wonder the riders all wore leathers and fur up here. Your hands did go numb, fingers still clenched tight around the strap. 
“See? Not so bad, hmm?” Alejandro sounded smug, his voice rumbling against your back and in your ear, even as his breath warmed your skin. 
You just laughed, leaning back slightly, trusting him to keep you safe. 
And he did. 
You had no idea how long Caba flew the two of you. But he didn't go far into the valley before turning for the coast, making a big loop. From this height, you could see the town you'd left behind weeks ago, as well as a couple other garrisons, notable from the other dragons in the air. From this height, everything seemed small, even your lingering worries. 
Eventually, he angled back towards the garrison, gliding down at a gentle angle. Alejandro's hand at your waist encouraged you to lean back further, your back pressed to his chest, until Caba landed. The big dragon chuffed and continued walking, wings setting against his back again. 
You blinked, confused, but Alejandro just chuckled. “You're back early,” he called to someone up ahead, the hand on your waist tightening briefly. 
“For once,” another man called back. You spotted a dark-haired man standing up ahead, another scruffier man by his side. Caba stopped a short distance from the two, and Alejandro swung one leg over to face them. He did not get down, however. 
“Need a ride back to the capital, then?” 
“S'pose so,” the scruffier man answered, gaze on you. “You offering?”
Alejandro chuckled. “I will arrange it,” he said, though you noted he didn't offer to do it himself. “Come inside, have something to eat.” 
“Gonna introduce us?” The scruffier one asked, still peering up at you. 
“If we see you at dinner.” Alejandro didn't offer anything else as Caba started walking again, leaving the two men behind to make his way back to the cavern entrance. 
“Who were they?” You asked, undeniably curious now. 
“Nobody of import.” Alejandro waited for Caba to lay down again before he slid down the dragon's side. “Here. I'll help.” He held his hands up to you, watching closely. 
You eyed the distance down, biting your lip. He hadn't led you to harm yet. It did take a few moments to unclamp your hands, fingers aching from being locked in position for so long, but then you carefully swung a leg over and slid down. Alejandro caught you, making sure you didn't land too hard and holding you upright when your knees wobbled. 
“Alright?” He asked quietly, giving you a quick once-over. 
“Yeah.” You smiled up at him. “That was… incredible. Thank you.” 
“I will take you as often as you wish.” His smile was smaller than usual but brighter, happier. 
“You don't mind?” You couldn't help the note of hesitancy, of shyness. 
“Not if it's you.” He leaned closer to you, until you were firmly bracketed between Caba at your back and Alejandro at your front. 
Your breath caught in your throat. He was so close and so warm. 
Caba rumbled, something you felt more than heard, vibrating against your back. You startled, turning your head to try to figure out what was going on. 
Alejandro sighed and backed off. “Sit with me at dinner tonight,” he invited, gently taking hold of your hand, rubbing some of the ache from your fingers. 
“Okay,” you agreed, a little dazed still. 
He smiled again, that small but sincere smile you were quickly becoming attached to, and took a step back. Another, and he released your hand, and turned to go. 
You stood there, needing Caba's silent support, for longer than you wanted to admit.

Warnings: no one
Prince Bucky x Princess Reader 
Tumblr media
The people of your kingdom were mad with joy that the strange but beloved Prince Bucky was coming to your kingdom. 
The day the prince descended from the sky on his dragon Belrath, shaking the earth and flattering your mother with compliments, you felt annoyed.
Seeking comfort and peace, for the first time in the hours since his arrival, you went to the Mountain of Snowflakes.
What you didn't know was that the object of your wrath was just a few feet away in the shadows.
"I see you have taken a liking to my favorite resting spot."
The prince's familiar voice spoke to you as he leaned against the wall, his bluish eyes twinkling mischievously.
"It's nice here. Quite and an amazing sight" you answer.
"I don't often get visitors to my little hideaway. I like that you found it." The Prince spoke warmly, the corners of his lips curling in a smile.
"You are a Skylar, the symbol on your jacket is your family wappen, correct?"
"yes" you nod.
"And who may I have the pleasure of speaking with?" he took a few steps closer, his eyes scanning them up and down.
"Y/n" you answer simply.
Bucky paused for a moment, his eyes narrowing at the recognition.
"Ah yes, you are the daughter of Queen Rajendra?"
You nod confirming.
"I've heard quite a bit about you."
His smile returned.
"What are you doing with yourself up here? It's nice to see you are out of your mother's shadow."
"what have you heard?" You ask slightly curious.
A slight twinkle appeared at the corner of his eyes as he looked down at you.
“I heard you’re quite feisty.”
"Yeah, it can be true" you answer.
“A trait we both seem to share.” Bucky spoke softly into the shadow.
His eyes trailed over you lightly, but you saw him smirk.
“You do have a bit of a reputation.”
"Have I ? Which one?" You ask and walk over to a dragon who was watching you both.
The massive beast shifted its weight, its eyes narrowed in curiosity as it regarded you.
Bucky's eyes remained on the pair of you for a few moments, before he spoke again.
"The one that you're a bit of a wild thing. That, and you're a troublemaker." he teased.
"But it's nice to talk to someone who isn't afraid to be bold." he added with a sly smile.
You chuckle " I don't make so much trouble" you say sarcastic.
"I don't believe that for a second."
He leaned against the wall, his arms folded across his chest.
"So, why the sudden interest in a place like this? Are you looking for a bit of trouble to stir?" He couldn't help but smirk.
"Maybe. Do you want to race with me, a dragon race?" You ask with a mischief gaze at him.
Bucky’s smile only grew wider as he considered the offer.
“Well now that’s an offer I can’t refuse, though you do know my dragon is faster, don’t you?”
"oh, don't underestimate my dragon, I think he can keep up with your dragon, maybe even a little bit more." You say with a smirk.
“Very well, let’s see if this little dragon can keep up with my Belrath.”
Bucky’s face broke out into a devilish grin.
“I won’t be too easy on you.” he added with that same mischievous tone.
"don't be. That wouldn't be funny"
Bucky shrugged and turned abruptly, beginning to walk out of the massive cavern.
"Belrath is waiting outside."
He turned his shoulder to see if you were following.
You follow him and as you walk outside you call your big ice dragon.
For a moment, Bucky stares over at you and your massive dragon. If he was impressed by the sight then he didn't show it, however, a slight smirk was still evident on his lips.
"I have to say, I've never raced against an icy dragon before."
He mounted Belrath and waited for you to do the same.
You chuckle " it would be funny" you say and smirk then you sit up on icefire.
"Well, I suppose we should get started then, unless you want to back out?"
He smirked widely, watching you mount Icefire. Belrath rumbled a low grumble- as if to say they wanted the race to begin as well.
"I never back out" you answer and give icefire a signal to go in the sky
As soon as Icefire took off, Belrath took to its own speed. The massive beast surged up into the clouds with tremendous speed and force.
The Prince was quiet as his eyes remained fixed on the massive white dragon that flew alongside them.
The ground became a blur below.
Then you make a very rare and risky turn around Belrath and Bucky can hear your giggle.
Belrath gave a loud hiss as it felt the icy wind brush past it.
Bucky was quiet for a moment, his face twisting in an almost mischievous grin as he heard the laughter.
He looked forward, he could see the snowy mountains looming closer and closer.
You give icefire a signal to be as wild as he wants and you tighten your grip on the seat.
Belrath roared a deep, throaty rumble as its talons reached out in front of the other dragon in a wild manner.
The prince grunted as he struggled to keep control of his dragon.
In a moment of pure instinct, the Prince gave his dragon a deep command: 'burn.'
Belrath's head swerved sharply towards Icefire, as a small, orange flame shot at the Icy dragon.
Before you can comment anything to icefire he handles himself and dives into the sea before overtaking Belrath.
As the Icy Dragon dove into the water, Belrath roared in defiance as it chased the dragon down.
The prince's face twisted in concentration as he fought to keep control of his massive dragon.
He could hear your laughter above, as if you were enjoying yourself.
Then you both land at the same time on the massive mountain road.
Bucky sighed with relief as Belrath touched the ground. He jumped abruptly as he dismounted, the dragon still breathing like a raging fire.
He walked over to you. As he approached, all of the humor in his eyes faded into a serious expression.
"That was a foolish gamble, but I like that."
He paused for a moment.
"You've got fire in you, the same as me." He said with almost a chuckle.
You chuckle slightly and get down from your dragon. You softly pet icefire before icefire relax.
Belrath let out another low murmur as Bucky turned his attention back to the large, white dragon beside him.
He looked at you curiously, his face shifting in a thoughtful manner.
"That dragon of yours is quite impressive, where did you find your beast?"
"Deep In the mountains "
Bucky's eyes stayed on the massive, white dragon. He seemed oddly interested in the creature.
"Hmm...That's quite interesting. Most of the dragons we find in the mountains look much different than yours."
"He is different, he spit blue fire" you answer proudly.
Bucky couldn't help but smirk, as he stepped closer to the beast.
"Blue fire? Now that's an interesting sight indeed."
He ran a hand against the creature's face.
"How old is he?" Bucky  asked curiously.
" i think he is maybe 100 or a little bit older"
"And how is it that you tame such a beast?"
Bucky  stepped back from the creature, his eyes still studying it as he spoke.
"Taming dragons from the mountains can be extremely difficult."
You shrug your shoulders " icefire has seen me playing with the wolfs and then he followed me"
"He chose you." Bucky spoke softly as he looked down at the dragon.
"That's impressive, I don't know how many could say their dragons followed them on their own accord."
You nod.
"That's good to hear." Bucky stepped back from the dragon and looked over at you.
"Your dragon seems very different to anything I've seen. I suppose he's as unpredictable as you." Bucky paused.
"Or are you more of a force of the wild like Icefire?"
"maybe both" you answer with a slight smirk.
Bucky let out an amused chuckle.
"From this encounter alone, I would say you're the more unpredictable of the two."
He gave you a sly smile.
You chuckle slightly.
"You're a bit like me, aren't you?"
He couldn't help but smirk, as he looked over at you.
"A bit of a wild thing. You don't always listen, and you aren't the kind to be a follower."
He paused again.
"I have to admit, that's quite attractive."
You shrug your shoulders " you can ask mother if I'm difficult or not. " you utter, referring to your mother, Queen Rajendra.
A light chuckle left Bucky, as he looked away for a moment.
"I have heard quite a bit about you from your Mother, as well."
His face twisted up in a sly grin, as he turned back to you.
"She says nothing about you is ever easy."
You scoff "i don't cause much trouble"
"Then you must have an interesting definition of trouble."
Bucky's eyes trailed over you slowly.
"The stories that I have heard about you are the exact opposite of what I'm hearing now."
"what have you heard?" You ask slightly curious.
Bucky's eyes stayed on your face, as he paused for a moment before answering.
"That you're difficult, hard to handle, feisty." He paused for a moment, his face turning teasing as he spoke.
"And that you've given your mother numerous headaches."
He smirked, as he awaited your response.
"she is sometimes just too emotional" you utter and roll your eyes.
Bucky chuckled at that.
"I don't believe that for a second."
His face twitched into a playful smile, as he continued.
"I think you must make her incredibly frustrated, in which case I would say you can be a pain in the arse."
He smirked again, a playful, almost seductive glint in his eyes as he spoke.
"What makes you the most annoyed is that you enjoy it."
You try to suppress your smile. " not my fault that they don't understand fun"
Bucky took a step closer, his face turning into a smirk.
"Fun? I'm sure your mother would argue that what you do is nothing more than pure mischief."
"Which, I would completely agree with."
He paused, then let out another amused chuckle.
"And yes, I do believe you rather enjoy it."
"Has my mother told you that you should stay away from me because I'm too much trouble?" You ask curious.
"I believe she did, yes."
He took another stride forward, his eyes still looking down at you with a sly grin.
"She warned me about you, and I believe she may have been onto something."
"about what warned she you, for example, that I would steal your sword if I liked it or rather that I rarely follow rules." You ask and tile your head slightly.
"She warned me about how much of a wild thing you are. How you don't often listen and don't care much for rules."
Bucky paused for a moment, before continuing.
"And she did tell me you loved to steal things." He chuckled slightly, his lips turning into a smirk.
"And you didn't steal my blade, did you?"
"Oh, don't worry, Prince. Your sword is still on your hips" you say with a hint of mischief in your eyes that you couldn't suppress.
Bucky's smile widened. The prince took another step closer, his eyes staying intently on your face.
"Well, you're quite an interesting character. What else have you stolen from me?"
He raised an eyebrow in amusement, as he looked you over slowly. His eyes shifting up and down, before settling on your face again.
"Who said I have stolen something?"
"Your face is a dead giveaway, my lovely dragon rider."
Bucky chuckled as he said that, still looking over at you with a twinkle in his eyes.
"What did you steal?" He repeated with a teasing grin.
"your necklace, dear prince" you say amused and hold it up.
Bucky let out a low grumble, as he stared at you and the necklace in your hand.
"Are you going to give it back, or are you just going to tease me?" He asked with a sly grin.
His eyes stayed fixed on you for a deep moment, as he glanced up at the necklace.
"Don't make me use force, my sweet sweet dragon rider..." Bucky said playfully.
"sure you can have it back" you answer and you hold out the necklace to him.
Bucky took the necklace from your hands, the prince couldn't help but notice the small grin on your face as you gave it back.
He examined it for a minute, before giving you a playful, suggestive smile.
"Would it surprise you to hear that I didn't even notice it was missing?" He asked with a smirk, as he glanced at you.
You grin slightly “Oh I know you didn't notice it, that's why I did it.”
Bucky chuckles softly and steps closer to you, then his hand wraps around the necklace in your hand and before he can react you pull him against you. You hear him slightly gasp, then your eyes meet and for you both stop the time. 
Your hands intertwined softly, the necklace still between them. “You know I have missed you, Princess. You should definitely decide to come with me to my kingdom, my heart always longs for your teasing.”  Bucky says, his voice has a lovely undertone.
“You missed just my teasing? Nothing more, Prince Bucky?” You slightly pout.
He grabs you on your hips and pulls you closer, now you both stand so close that nothing fits between you both, you can feel how his chest moves as he breathes your scent in.
“Oh, i have miss you so much, my love. Not just your teasing, your whole being have i missed and your wild side.” he whispers with a gentle undertone in your ear. 
This sends a shiver down your spine.
“I have missed you too.”
Bucky reaches his hand to your face and slowly caress your cheek. 
Bucky's face softens a bit, as he sees you lean slightly against his hands and he smiles at you, his eyes shining with a deep affection.
He then leans towards you and kisses your forehead in a gesture of tenderness and adoration.
You can feel his strong and warm body against yours and it fills you with a feeling of safety and comfort.
Bucky hugs you again, this time his grip is tighter and warmer and he presses you against his chest more tightly.
You feel his heart beating rapidly against yours and he is breathing slowly, as if both of you are just enjoying the moment of being together without any further words.
Then you take his necklace and put it back around his neck. “There, it is back at his place.” you whisper softly and pet his chest.
“Come, my princess, it's slowly getting dark, we should go back to your castle” Bucky smiles gently at you as he sees how your hair slowly begins to move through the slightly windy evening air.
“Alright, we both should probably go back, you are right.” You nod.
The Prince pulls you closer to himself and places his hands on your shoulders, gently stroking your hair with affection as you both walk back to the castle.
You can feel his warmth and strength around you, making it feel like he is protecting you from the world.
He leans his head on top of yours and whispers to you:
"I am yours, and you are mine…”
“Always and forever “ you end his sentences.
