When Xaden heads off to see Violet at Basgiath since their dragons are mated, Garrick finds himself alone in this unfamiliar area trying to get his name established navigating fights and ambushes. He owed his life to the man.

One particular night when Xaden leaves for Basgiath, Garrick finds himself with a new company. One who starts turning his world upside down and giving him something, that isn't just the Xaden and rebellion, to fight for. ______________________________________

Author Note: As I'm writing this (February 2024), Garrick's signet is not revealed in Iron Flame. For this story, I followed my theory about Garrick's signet which is Near Sight (opposite of Liam's Far Sight). Near sight can easily recognize emotion changes, whatever emotion someone displays Garrick will pick up. This also relates to his dragon (Chradh) who is able to locate certain objects and is sensitive to runes. Garrick uses this to quickly learn who is trustworthy and gain information about people's true intentions making him a strong asset and an exceptional fighter.

Chapter 2: The Feelings

< Garrick Tavis >

The sun from the morning was nowhere to be found and the clouds were looking seriously ominous today. Temperamental like this guy, I glanced over at Xaden and his expressionless face from the hard floor of the outdoor sparring field. Something was definitely on his mind. My first guess would be Violet related.

I welcomed the breeze against my shirtless, overheating body as my mind wandered off to what Lei was up to. Her smile from the morning flashed across my mind and I exhaled. Maybe it was her hair? I knew that most female riders kept their hair short, braided, or tied up to keep it from getting caught, but Lei’s ponytail was long enough and always swaying from side to side, like it was tempting me to grab. Oh gods, I shouldn’t have thought that.

From the side, Xaden threw a clean towel that landed directly on my face, dragging me out of my thoughts. Right, this was supposed to be a quick break before another set. “Thanks,” I muttered as I grabbed it and wiped the dripping sweat across my face.

“Riorson!” A familiar voice called out, full of disgust with each syllable. Tightening my core, I peeled my upper body off the mat and saw that bitch from last night. Fuck, what was his name again?

Lei’s sharp, venomous tone saying his name last night replayed in my mind. “Move along, Pratt.”

Oh yeah, Pratt.

I looked up to see Xaden turned towards him with a blank face across the field. He didn’t answer, he just stared. Then a second later, Xaden looked over at me and was that worry that just flashed across his face? Pressing his lips together, he looked towards Pratt’s direction again.

Did Xaden know Pratt? Maybe he was an old friend? I could see the gears turning in his head staring at the blonde boy.

“Where the fuck were you last night?” Pratt shouted.

I scoffed and shouted back at him. He didn’t even have the courage to walk closer to us. “Damn, Pratt. I don’t think you wanted an audience to witness your ass getting whooped.”

“I would keep your thoughts to yourself if I were you,” Pratt said my name in the same disgust he did with Xaden’s. “Your days at Samara are getting shorter with each word.” What the fuck was his deal?

Before I could quip back, Pratt looked directly at me. “Oh and leave Lei alone. She isn’t into dirty traitors like you two.” Pratt walked off with his “friends” trailing behind him. Two of the guys behind him moved with uncomfort and I could immediately identify they were the same boys from last night.

“Watch your back, Garrick. He plays dirty.” Xaden replied. From the tone of his voice I knew that it wasn’t a guess, it was a statement.

“Good, I like it dirty anyways.” I muttered back, my body making a dense thud against the hard floor surface as I dropped in exhaustion.

✦ ✦ ✦

Xaden and I managed to keep the score even until the very end. Maybe it was the years of training we did together and how we knew each other better than we knew ourselves? Every move I threw at the guy, he managed to block. Thanks to my signet I was able to see the way his eyes moved before a punch or a jab and countered each step. But, he was still able to get a good punch on my jaw right when my mind was starting to wander off.

Chradh loved reminding me how I should be paying attention whenever Xaden broke through my concentration like that.

“Lei! Can you help?” A voice called out on our way to the showers and my head immediately turned. I scanned the fields until I saw Lei running over to another rider with short blonde hair reaching down to pick up buckets off the floor. I made eye contact with the blonde rider’s green eyes. Her eyes widened and immediately tilted her head up at Lei, her eyes moving in my direction. She clearly knew me, but I didn’t know her. Shortly after Lei turned in my direction.

Her shiny, dark as night ponytail tossed above her shoulders. The shorter strands of hair fell into place, framing around her round rosy cheeks. I couldn’t turn my eyes away from her as I stood there watching. The short haired rider said something to Lei and after a quick nod, Lei jogged over.

“Hey! Do you have an outpost shift tonight?” She asked when she reached me. Her scent filled the space between us. I held my breath knowing that I could just drink her up.

I nodded. “It’s mine this time around.”

“Great,” she gave me a gentle smile. She opened her mouth to say something, but glanced behind her looking back at the green eyed rider who was struggling to carry two buckets in each hand. “Oh gosh, Iris! Wait!” Lei turned to me. “I’ll catch you later, okay?”

Before I could reply, she turned and jogged back. I felt a hand hit my bare back.

“Do me a favor and remember to breathe,” Xaden sighed, walking ahead of me.

✦ ✦ ✦

Fuck, this outpost was so small. The moment I showed up for the shift, Lei was already in here marinating every corner of this space with her delicious scent. Thank gods there was a breeze blowing tonight circulating the air around us. Her warm vanilla scent stirred around me. I’ll need to ask Xaden about an olfactory dampening rune next week.

That’s going to be a fun conversation. Chradh said amusingly.

The conversation started with us catching up on what we did during the day. I learned that Iris, the short haired blonde who I briefly saw earlier today, was her closest friend here. I told her about Xaden and the bond we shared for many years. You would have to be blind to not see our rebellion relics. So I told her what I could without bringing up Aretia or the impeding doom Xaden carried on his shoulders. Lei carefully watched my expressions, smiling and encouraging when appropriate, She always made she didn’t step outside her boundaries.

I asked about her signet and she told me that it was a form of distance wielding. She wasn’t sure if she could do long distance wielding because her power burns out when channeled for a long time. It surged quickly in powerful consecutive bursts. When mentors said she drew the short end of the stick, she learned to hone the power to her advantage. She could shorten distances so fast that it gives off the illusion that she was teleporting in short distance increments. They must have had their head stuck up in their ass not to see how lethal she could be.

For the most part, it sounded like she trained on her own. Last year was when she learned that she could travel more than just her surrounding areas only if she could paint in her mind where exactly she needed to go. I made a mental note to ask her if she wants to join us on a sparring session one day. She had so much potential in that small body of hers and I wanted to see more.

Near the end of our shift, I built up courage to ask her. “Um,” I started. “Can I ask you a personal question?”

“What’s on your mind, Garrick?” She smiled, tilting her head to the side.

“How does someone like you end up knowing a guy like Pratt anyways?” I asked cautiously. I watched her gentle smile drain from her face, like a sad memory was dragging her back down. Her blue irises trembled with hesitation as she held my gaze.

“We were engaged,” she started, looking ahead at the mountains. “We met as a part of a political alliance. I don’t come from wealth or power, Garrick. I come from a small, insignificant island in the Emerald Sea.” She lowered her head.

Like Xaden and Cat. Power was never something I craved. Sure, I saw the allure of it. But when you watched public executions of hundreds, including your family, for challenging power, you learn survival is more important. You do everything you can do to survive. You survive to remember each name, each story, and each face as a big fuck you. Maybe I was like Lei, I just didn’t like bullies.

One of the many reasons I chose you, Big One. Chradh echoed with pride in my mind.

Lei let out a soft exhale. “When I was 10, my father realized that the island resources were finite and started inviting aristocrats from the Continent to create trade routes. Pratt’s family was the first to visit. Within days of them leaving, his family made us an offer for an arranged betrothal under the condition that I survive the Threshing when I turned 20.”

“Threshing?” My voice rose in anger and my hands curled into fists. “Lei, you could have died! Did your family know how dangerous that was?! Pratt gave you a fucking death sentence!” I broke my composure. Why was I so angry?

She laughed a short, gentle laughter turning back to me. “Honestly, no. No one knew about the Threshing where I was from. Riders and dragons were stories that I only heard from elders in the island when I was growing up. Myths and legends with heroes, not a girl from an island somewhere.” She paused, muscles around her eyes tenses and her eyes were focused like she was calling for Cosheirm in her mind.

I watched as she found her peace again. Cosherirm, the word for harmony. Lei found her harmony through Cosheirm. Her pale skin against the stark contrast of her dark as night hair. She was beautiful.

“But Garrick, if I was given the decision again knowing what I know, I will always take the path to Cosheirm. Even if I wasn’t guaranteed that Cosheirm would choose me again.” Her determination was so strong that I could see an aura of confidence cloaked her body like a glowing shield. She was glowing.

“Lei,” I started and she got up from her wooden seat.

There were sounds of footsteps coming from the outside. “It looks like the next patrols will be coming soon. Come on, I’ll walk you back.”

✦ ✦ ✦

"You have to admit. If this walking to my bedroom becomes a regular occurrence, people are going to start talking." I said as we headed toward my barrack for a second night in a row.

"You need to check that masculinity, Garrick. I can help if you need more practice getting down on your knees again," she shrugged.

Oh, we were on a joking basis now.

"Hey, I'm not complaining. I've done it plenty of times, the whole escorting and getting on the knee thing... for other reasons," I glanced down to be greeted by her rosy cheeks. "I was just saying that I could get used to this."

It was Lei's looked flustered as she cleared her throat. "Anyone who sees us is going to think you're taking me to your room. We can stick to that story if you're worried about what people say. Deal?"

"Oh, I give zero shits about what anyone thinks about me, Lei. I just didn't know that was what you wanted others to think about us," I teased.

An audible groan came from Lei. "Garrick, you're impossible."

✦ ✦ ✦

Wake, Big One.

I rolled over in my bed, my eyes still closed. What’s wrong, Chradh?

I sense something unfamiliar in the south clearing of outside of Samara. In the pit of stomach, I felt it too. I’ve felt this before.

Before Chradh could finish, my body was already up. I quickly got dressed and strapped on my rider leather. I walked over to the doorway and grabbed the two swords propped against my desk. In the same motion I’ve been doing for years, I crossed them on my back.

Wyverns. And I sense a venin, Big One.

Author’s Notes: I have a Httyd child OC and I saw the Comfortember prompts and I had the mighty need to combine the two. If I don't write purely self-indulgent stuff, then what even is the point of writing fanfiction?

Anyway, I had a lot of fun writing this one.

Here is my son. And pure fluff with a side of whump!

Constructive criticism is appreciated!

Enjoy!

Ao3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is with a hurry that Hiccup returns home early from a day of chiefing the village of Berk. It's only in the afternoon, but already he's finished up what he can with the knowledge that Astrid will take care of the rest. Eret is there to help her out if she needs a second pair of hands.

With a quick pace, he jogs up the steps towards his house with Toothless following close behind. He opens the front door to let himself in and a wave of warmth from the fire washes over him as he kicks the snow off his boot and prosthetic.

"Hey, little man, it's okay." Snotlout talks with a soft tone to someone small sitting on his lap and crying into his chest.

That someone is a young boy of only one and a half. Gone is the red hair and the blue eyes he was born with, instead replaced by the brown hair and green eyes he has now. Because of this, he looks even more like Hiccup than he already did.

Vigi, as he's called, is in Snotlout's arms as he cries, but his words of comfort don't quite comfort the boy. Ruffnut is there with them and so is Tuffnut, who's holding a cup of water.

"Oh hey, look who's here, Tiny!" Ruffnut calls him by the nickname the Riders have chosen for him as she points to Hiccup upon his entrance. Tiny lifts his head from Snotlout's chest and turns his tear-stained face towards the door.

"I'm here! I'm here." Hiccup says and closes the front entrance to keep the cold out while the fire in the pit keeps the warmth inside.

"Daddy!" Tiny cries and reaches for Hiccup, who picks him up from Snotlout's lap as he's handed over and holds him. Tiny's short arms wrap around his father's neck with a tight grip.

"Hey, Buddy, what's wrong?" Hiccup asks, but Vigi doesn't respond, instead sniffing on his shoulder and staining his chest piece with tears and snot like he'd stained Snotlout. At least he's already calming down from whatever has made him cry.

Toothless pads over to behind Hiccup and stands up on his two hind legs to coo at the boy.

Tiny gazes at the dragon with his sad face, but doesn't say anything to him.

"Can someone tell me what's wrong with him?" Hiccup asks and looks to the three Riders with him for an answer.

Hiccup knows his son has been off all day. He woke up too early, has barely eaten any breakfast, and isn't as energetic as he usually is. So when someone had been sent to come get him after he'd left these three to look after him, Hiccup wasn't surprised.

"I think his throat hurts, he's been drinking a lot and he can't sleep. Don't think he has a fever yet, though." Snotlout informs him. Astrid may still be a little iffy towards the three, but they do a good job with their son, despite popular opinion.

"Yeah, the poor little guy hasn't had his nap at all! He's been crying for the past ten minutes." Ruffnut tells Hiccup and approaches to rub Vigi's cheek. He's quiet now that he's in Hiccup's arms with the occasional sniff, but with how tightly he holds on, he's still far from being comforted.

"Okay," Hiccup mutters and presses his cheek against his son's forehead, hoping to get a feeling on his temperature. It's hotter than it should be. "Did someone send for Gothi?"

"Fishlegs did." Tuffnut answers.

So Fishlegs was home at some point to check up on the little guy, too. Which is understandable as he must be worried, if one of the six Riders knows, they all know. Astrid, too, has come by throughout the day.

"Okay, that's good. I'm going upstairs to bed with him, come get me when Gothi is here. Do it quietly, just in case I can get him to fall asleep." Hiccup tells them and the three nod before he turns to ascend the stairs to their loft. Naturally, Toothless follows them up.

Tiny is still wearing his nightwear, nobody dressed him for the day because they expected him to fall ill, so there's no need to change him before bed.

They reach the upper floor and Hiccup puts Tiny on his bed, the boy almost not letting go.

"It's okay, I'm just removing my boot and leg." Hiccup assures him when he sees him pull an expression like he's about to cry again.

Hiccup sits down on the edge next to him to do as he says and removes them. He removes his armor, too, leaving just his tunic and his trousers. Moving further up the bed, he sits with his back against the headboard, a pillow behind him.

"Come here, Vigi" Hiccup tells his son, arms out, and the boy doesn't waste a second before he crawls up onto his lap. With Hiccup wrapping his arms around him again, Tiny buries himself in his father's hold.

Toothless climbs up on the bed and settles at the foot end, tail hanging off the side and lying on the floor. Even now he rarely leaves Hiccup's side and that includes whenever he needs to retreat to somewhere quiet and peaceful with a sick child.

Though still upset and hurting, Tiny takes comfort in this embrace and listens to Hiccup's heartbeat. It's hard to miss with his ear against his parent's chest.

"Gothi will be here soon and when she does, she can tell us what's wrong and we can make the pain go away. You want to hear a story while we wait?" Those were two long sentences for someone Tiny's age, but he recognizes enough words to pick up on what Hiccup asks him and he nods quietly.

"You want to hear a story about your grandpa Stoick? I still have plenty of those, won't run out for at least the foreseeable future." Hiccup suggests and Tiny quietly nods again, hearing "story" and "grandpa" in the same sentence. His face is barely visible in Hiccup's hold.

Toothless watches his Rider expectantly. He's still wearing his saddle and prosthetic when it is clear he and Hiccup won't be taking to the sky today, but someone else can remove it for him later.

"Okay, let me think." Hiccup mutters as he racks his brain over a tale he can tell and sinks a little against the headboard, allowing Vigi to lie a little, so he won't need to sit up.

"I think I've got one. It's about your grandfather and how he met a dragon named Thornado." Hiccup doesn't plan on making the story too detailed or hard to follow, but what truly matters is that he keeps his son entertained until Gothi comes.

Toothless purrs approvingly. As much as he was on the receiving end of Stoick's sudden desire to have a dragon of his own, it is still a good tale to tell.

Barely five minutes pass and Hiccup stops as he gets to the part where the Thunderdrum is officially revealed. Soft snoring comes from the child lying on his chest, who has a stuffed nose.

After a few hours of struggling to sleep, he has finally dozed off and it's part of the reason why Snotlout, Ruff, and Tuff sent for him. It's simply because Vigi has an easier time falling asleep with Hiccup than anyone else on Berk, sometimes even Toothless. And that while the boy's first word after "ma!" was arguably "Oofess!"

Now all that remains is to wait for the village healer and then they can help the poor child treat his ailment.

There is creaking on the stairs and Hiccup looks over to find the three Riders who are still here.

"Is he sleeping?" Snotlout asks, whispering just in case, and Hiccup nods. It's a good thing, that means he can be a little rested before Gothi comes as she will surely have to examine him, something no child or adult really likes.

"Okay, good. We'll be downstairs if you need us." Snotlout tells him and passes the Thorston twins on the way down, minding the noise. Tiny has finally fallen asleep, it's better that they don't wake him up. Babies and toddlers sometimes have sharper ears than you'd expect.

"Bye, Teeny!"

"Bye, Tiny!" Tuff and Ruff each whisper softly and wave before they go down. They don't expect the toddler to return it, but you never know.

Hiccup shakes his head in amusement once they're out of sight.

And now all that is left for him to do is wait. Wait until Gothi comes with Fishlegs and quite possibly Astrid as well. That is, if she doesn't have a list of patients she needs to get through first before she can come to the Haddock Household. The weather is getting colder, which means many Berkians of all ages are bound to get sick.

That means Gothi could quite possibly take a few hours and that Hiccup will be here a little while with a sleeping toddler on his chest that he can't move.

"Hey Bud, can you grab me a book?" Hiccup requests and the Night Fury obliges, getting off the bed to grab the one. He doesn't need to struggle, there's one lying on top of a low bookshelf, which he knows Hiccup has been reading as of late, so he grabs that one.

Hiccup, meanwhile, turns his attention down at the snoring boy. He places a kiss on top of his head, right in that messy head of hair of his.

pls talk more abt ur gremlin dany i love them??? is there anywhere i can find more

thank you so much for being interested in my gremlin daenerys #fire and blood verse; i write in fragments, so i haven’t actually cobbled together a coherent narrative that i can Post As A Fic lmao... One Day I Will Manage This

but i am ALWAYS willing to talk about my ocs! here is a rambly dump of info about daenerys under the cut!

- as a general rule, daenerys has little interest in ruling anything. unfortunately, as a targaryen, people are always going to expect them to be as ambitious and power-hungry as their predecessors. their main concerns in life are towards their dragons and the impending winter. once this winter has ended--and, hopefully, every unnatural season with it, if their vague, uncertain supposition of what happened in the show holds true--they’re planning on retiring to slaver’s bay permanently or essosi sheeplands where their dragons can hunt and roam freely.

... literally the best thing about being in asoiaf is the dragons, okay, they can be forgiven for mostly just being interested in their dragons

- the only title that they really care for is “dragonlord” because, to their mind, dragonlord is the only title that they can freely claim without having to Rule Anything. like. they have dragons. they’re a dragonlord. that’s all there is to it

- my Targaryen Lore is that those of dragonlord heritage have a predisposition for warging with dragons due to long and close association together. daenerys communicates with their dragons via a combination of words and thought-images and thinks that that’s a totally normal thing to do, but nope, that’s because they’ve got dragonlord blood.

you don’t need to be of dragonlord lineage to ride a dragon--the only requirement for riding a dragon is the dragon letting you--but communication is more limited unless you can warg. it is rare, historically, to ride a dragon without a dragonlord or even a warging lineage to speak of, for a variety of different reasons, but it has happened.

- their dragons are named champion, herald, and warden. in canon, these are--in order--drogon, rhaegal, and viserion

champion, as the largest of the bunch, is the most intimidating, and he is very aware of this. when daenerys needs a thread display, he’s generally the one who steps up to the plate

all of them are more well-behaved and more well-trained than in canon, so like. don’t worry about them being chained up or hunting things down indiscriminately, lol. they’re all good boys

(like, on one hand, i get dragons becoming hard to control as they grow older. but. also. dragons have been used as mounts for CENTURIES. THEY ARE AT LEAST SEMI-DOMESTICATED. PLEASE. JUST LET ME HAVE MY DRAGONS WHO ALL LIKE TO BE SCRATCHED)

- daenerys’ fashion, when they have access to such clothing, remains largely in the sphere of: mainly loose hair with a bit pulled back from the face (and here’s another perspective) or their hair pulled into a tucked braid updo; the blue dragonscale-textured dresses that we all love; the loose, flowy fabrics; and like. trousers. i was looking for canon examples for references and then i got tired. the hair is the important part--they pretty much never do any of the more complicated braids dany does

- i made oc friends for them! at slaver’s bay, their friend group is kazzek, jhezza, and imri. kazzek and jhezza (both native to the region) had been house slaves and imri (born to those who had been from the free cities) had been in the fighting pits.

kazzek is wary of outsiders--especially those with no one to vouch for them--but fiercely loyal once his trust and respect have been earned. any slight against his friends is taken personally. (in most AUs, he is the rider for their third dragon, warden.)

jhezza is softer-spoken and conciliatory, with a warm, friendly demeanor, but that does not mean that she is naive or spineless. she chooses which battles to fight and which to let go of.

imri had not liked fighting, had not liked the way his life hung in the balance every time he stepped foot into the ring. he is tired of brutality, of inflicting it and receiving it. he will use his bulk and his scarred body to intimidate, when need be, but he is more of a gentle giant than anything.

- daenerys and jon become friends in Every World And Every AU. mostly because jon is one of my favorite asoiaf characters (dark-haired, sullen-faced with a giant wolf and a cloak???? Fuck Yeah) but also because there are . a LOT of things about jon and daenerys that interest me

like, the similarities between their lives?? the way that they have both found homes in foreign places (jon with the watch and the free folk, daenerys in slaver’s bay), the way they both carry with them living emblems of their houses (jon with ghost the direwolf, daenerys with their three dragons), the way some part of their birthright has been denied to them (jon as a bastard raised among trueborn siblings, daenerys as a targaryen whose family had been deposed), the way they both have siblings that if things had been different would have ruled (jon with robb as the future lord stark, daenerys with viserys who had always dreamed of reclaiming the iron throne), the way they look exactly as you would expect a stark and targaryen to look and still they manage to subvert expectations

and the differences between them... even just aesthetically... the dark hair of a stark vs the silver-gold of a targaryen... the heavy clothing of the north vs the light, flimsier fabrics of the south... FIRE AND ICE...

daenerys is already well-disposed toward jon, as a si/oc, and jon becomes pretty fond of them in turn

in an au i have where “canon jon goes back in time but also to the left to end up in the past but in a world with si/oc daenerys instead of canon dany,” jon has been planning this whole time for Canon Dany And Whatever The Fuck Happened There, and what he gets is... si/oc daenerys, who comes to westerosi with the title “dragonlord” and who wants nothing to do with the iron throne. he is caught very off-guard and is very suspicious but eventually accepts that apparently dany’s behavior is not as set in stone as he thought it was

i also have... a transdimensional timeloop au where every time jon and daenerys die, they end up in another world and integrate into that version of themselves. this is because i wanted to keep making aus but didn’t want to keep making new pages so i just lumped them all into this one LMAO they’re the only ones who loop and they always loop together, so they generally 1) try to actually help the realm and their families or 2) decide “yeah, this isn’t worth it” and go off into the wilderness together. sometimes they go beyond the wall, sometimes they make their way over to slaver’s bay

#keg wrecks #keg asks #fire and blood verse #tysm for asking about my ocs im always so ;-; about people showing interest in my stuff #Anonymous

Guardians of the Galaxy #6

Wow this was so lackluster and it started really OK but just fizzled out and had no point. Also me ranting so if this isn’t your cup of tea then steer clear. I do say one or two nice things about this though.

Why does Rich even need a fricking energy rifle to fight the Black Order? Who by the way he totally wrecked in their own mini (Oh and he suddenly forgot who Proxima was, Marvel editors where you at?). Yes I know about New Warriors vol 1 #17 but Rich was so much weaker back then and he couldn’t do energy blasts back then (unless he was absorbing energy) and they were fighting Terrax IIRC so it made sense at least at that time for him to have an energy rifle.

What the hell was the point of this story? Also all that attention given to Cosmic Ghost Rider that had little to nothing to do with the main story, most of the actual Guardians not doing anything until the very end. Just give Cates a Cosmic Ghost Rider ongoing with Knull, Wraith, and symbiote OCs.

Everyone saw the Thanos implanting himself on Eros thing and dismissed it as being too obvious. Now Cates tries to do it for laughs when he has Eros proclaim “Oooh it was too obvious” like what? That doesn’t excuse that shitty decision.

Hela did nothing and she jobbed in the end, Knowhere is gone (what will Cosmo do now), but for what reason? Why? Way to fricking use that stupid black hole gun as a quick way to end the story. I also love how everyone really forgot or didn’t give a shit about the heroes that were in the black hole “Oh yeah they died” and they never mattered.

Whatever was being set up between Gamora and Nebula didn’t mattered.

Phyla acting weird “Oh you silly boys” what? Also her and Moondragon need to have their own personalities again and be more defined since they’re just there in the book. How does Alt Heather’s powers work anyway? She had a pet dragon tattoo and now she makes random cool Dragons appear? Cosmic Ghost Rider said she was crazy powerful so at least build on that. How does Alt Phyla’s powers work? What happened to her sword? Why is she flying around like she’s Carol Danvers? Why is she using her Cosmic Awareness all the time? Or better yet bring back 616 Moondragon and Phyla-Vell and actually care about them.

Also that “I love you” from Peter towards Gamora is obviously meant to be romantic and honestly it didn’t upset me because it was inevitable since comic writers do anything the movies do nowadays and I was expecting it. It’s so weird to me that Cates set Rich as the one Gamora has romantic feelings for when Nebula goes after him but then totally forgets about him. He really does because Rich doesn’t do much in this arc and wasn’t even allowed to have close moments with Peter and Gamora or even talk to them in any significant way. He doesn’t react even when Peter gets “killed” and he gives some buts when Peter is determined to save Gamora which is something very OOCs for him to do. If I was a new reader I would be asking myself why do Gamora and Star-Lord even care about him? They felt like casual acquaintances. But I guess the Rich and Gamora thing is now dropped, which I’m fine with it (wasn’t big into it when Bendis tried to bring it back out of the blue especially since Rich was in love with Namorita in Thanos Imperative) but I just hope this doesn’t lead to love triangle drama because it would be the perfect way to fuck up some good relationships for cheap drama and oh boy it’s going to happen huh?

In the beginning of this comic Peter has PTSD about Gamora killing him, he’s legit upset at her to the point he has anxiety attacks when he relieved the moment that she killed him. That some serious stuff and he’s justified in feeling that way since she drove a sword through him with the excuse of “I can just bring him back with the Infinity stones”. Now suddenly Peter is just like “I was just mad because after everything you did I still loved you” OK fine I can see that but at least build to that confession. Or at least have him say something along the lines of “I want you to know that I love you but I am also angry with you for murdering me” or something along those lines, don’t dismiss the fact that Peter was panicking about relieving that moment and being a wreck of a human being. I know Gamora wanted to talk to him in issue #4 but he wasn’t open to it and he’s honestly justified in feeling that way, again she killed him. It would be good if they dealt with that properly before they take their relationship even further but whatever, I don’t much care under this writer now.

Like I said if they’re going to have Peter and Gamora be a romantic couple just build to it but no writer ever really seems to care much about it. Bendis who pulled the BFFs thing really didn’t care to build on why they were BFFs they just became besties behind the scenes (and why would he care to build on it because he already admitted he didn’t read anything that came before his own run). I did like Peter telling Gamora to take her time when she told him she was unsure of how she felt, which makes a lot of sense since she just killed him and wasn’t particularly remorseful about it and

Oh and Peter telling Gamora “No don’t kill Eros and stop Thanos from coming back because that makes you no better than he is” like what the fuck? The guy who was ready to die in the Cancerverse to make sure Thanos was perma dead and to keep him from coming back just said that? Get out. Peter would be OK with Gamora killing Eros especially since Eros tried to kill her for that same reason.

Peter’s speech about everyone being a Guardian while they were drinking in the bar was good.

Rich dodges being a Guardian once again. It’s obvious the real reason for the first time was because he had his own ongoing and this time it’s because of editorial and writer reasons. But I’m fine with it since it ads to my headcanon that he prefers to work solo. He never really followed Nova corps protocols either and got in trouble for that. Steve even had him as a reserve for his Secret Avengers because being Nova was his priority and kept him busy and he really couldn’t commit to that either. Doesn’t mean he can’t work as a team especially since he was the General of the United Front but remember that after Annihilation a bunch of races and planet figureheads wanted him to join up with them and he didn’t. He was also very cautious and hesitant in re-doing the Nova corps (but I think that involved so many other reasons). New Warriors being a special case which made a lot of sense considering who he was and at the point he was in his life.

But really Rich might as well not have been in this comic and honestly after reading this I am glad he isn’t permanently in it. Cates doesn’t get the character at all nor does he care about him. He’s obviously setting up something with Knull and using the cosmic characters for that end. Not to mention Ewing is supposedly planning something with Rich and Wendell and I’m glad he’s going to be written by someone who cares about him. Shame I can’t even have one good post-Cancerverse Peter and Rich talk or a good emotional moment between those two considering how much of a wreck Peter can be when depressed and all those times Rich just pushes him to safety only to go and do something dangerous himself (plus the importance for Peter to be there with Rich when Rich is facing his own end). But at least Duggan did show that Peter was upset about Rich popping back to the world of the living and not telling him although I expected him to be more emotional considering the state of things.

Oh and Rich is back to comic limbo I guess, at least until whatever Ewing is planning with him and Wendell happens. At least I’ll look forward to those two, I love their relationship and it seems Ewing set an interesting dynamic between them in the Annual.

Quite a Nightmare

Quite a Nightmare.

A/N: This is my second attempt at a series. I hope this one will go better than the first. Feel free to message me asking any questions you may have about the series. I do have an idea where I want it to go in the future but I don’t know how long it is gonna take to get there. Please note that this part and the next three chapters or so will be the OC reflecting on her life, after that it will be current.

Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own any of the Characters besides Adara.

Warnings: None yet I don’t think but there will be in future chapters.

Pairings: None yet but there will be in the future. (Cough *Hiccup* Cough)

Summary: You have found a dragon new to your people. After being banished from your homeland you meet the Riders of Berk. What happens when you find out that not only is your dragon rare, She’s one of the last of her kind?

Quite A Nightmare.

Why. Why me was all I could think as I wondered... What did I do to deserve having my life thrown on it's head? To deserve being banished from all I had ever known? I was the daughter of the Chief, The fiercest Warrior of our tribe, Pride of the Darinoi People, Future Chief of our people… but all that changed the day I found Her.

I guess I should start from the beginning right?

My name is Adara, It means Fire in the language of my people but that’s what I named myself. My name used to be something else but you’ll see why I changed it I always was destined to be the Chief of our Tribe, that was my birthright. But me being the overachieving idiot I am, I decided to try and be our greatest warrior also. I was always good with the sword, came with the territory of being my father's daughter. So instead of going with what came easy I would train with everything I wasn’t good at until I was. To the point that the rest of the warriors stopped training with me when I proved to be too much for their easily bruised male egos. So I guess the Gods decided to reward my hard work with something even harder. They gave me Nightmare.

My Night Fury.

The dragons weren’t a new thing. There weren’t many that didn’t have one. The type varied between the species… you had your Du-nocks they were the ones with two necks. Usually tamed by two heroes. Then there were the Breakers. They had thick skin like the rocks they ate. Most families had one. They helped with the hard-work and were essentially large dogs. Guarding the village when the warriors were away hunting. Another one was the Sticker with their spines and deadly accuracy. They were rarer among the warriors of the Tribes. A tribe with a Sticker had a right to be proud. Though they were not the greatest among the warriors. If you were truly brave you got the one dragon everyone feared, only the best of the best had them. We called them. The Inferno. Able to catch themselves on fire and fly into battle they were only gifted to the greatest among us, my dad was one of the few who had one. So yeah… I had a legacy to live up to.

There were two ways to get a dragon. One was you found them when they were an adult. Or it could be the way that proved that the Gods chose them for you… you found them as an egg. That was how I got Nightmare. I was on my final Discovery Quest. It had been three days living off the land and surviving alone by my wits when I saw it. A large, smooth, oblong egg, it was a multitude of grays like a stone and hidden by brush. My first thought was “what is that? I have never seen it’s equal. Such a smooth stone...” I soon realized it was not a stone. Stones did not radiate heat like a furnace like this did. When I realized it was a dragon egg my hair stood on end. The only one in our village to find an egg was my father and his had been an Inferno that he had named Blazing Night. I had never seen an egg like this before. I guess in the back of my head I was worried about it, the fact that it wasn’t a breed I knew. But in my joy induced haze I did not consider the fact that my father might not approve of my Dragon. I was already bonded. I had heard of the overwhelming urge to protect your dragon but I never thought it would be like this. I knew in that moment that even if what came out was the ugliest thing in all of Hibernia I would love it. That if needed I would die for it.

Per our tradition if you found an egg you stayed with it. You waited with it until it hatched instead of moving it. So I immediately started making a shelter for sleeping in. I knew there was water in the area and food would be easy as I had dried beef and berries with me and I knew how to hunt so I could catch my own food. I knew I would have to so my dragon had fresh meat to eat as they would be very hungry shortly after they hatched. I knew it might be day before it hatched maybe even weeks and that when it did it would explode as was the way of the dragon. I per the ritual was expected to stay up until the egg hatched and keep watch, As proof that I could take care of the life I was entrusted with. So I found a spot with good visibility as well as close to the egg itself so i could bathe in it’s warmth. I set my sword across my knees and prepared for a long night.

I also knew I might have to deal with the eggs mother coming back. But the vegetation surrounding the egg was well grown and untraveled. I knew that meant the mother had either abandoned the egg or had been killed. I hoped the earlier because the death of a dragon was abhorrent to me. They were such majestic creatures and the thought of someone killing one even by accident made my blood boil. I had always bonded well enough with the dragons in the village sometimes even bonding with wild ones. But I had to wait until this last Quest to gain my dragon. It was the way it was done. I accepted it and had trained hard for this day so I would be ready to claim my birthright and lead our village when my father was gone. It was my hope that the Gods would give me an Inferno as they did my father so he would be proud of me. but deep inside I knew that was not for me… I knew that having an Inferno was not destined for me. It made me wonder what kind of dragon this was.

As I sat there deep in thought, paying attention to the shadows and the way they danced. I started to wonder what my life would be like after the egg had hatched… what would change, and what would stay the same? I knew that training my dragon would take time and patience, and for that I was prepared. But what made me think was how will the perception of me change? I was already sure that this was no breed we knew, so that begged the question… What was it? The certainty that this was something new sent chills up my spine. Looking back now I envy my young naivety, I never knew thought that something as trivial as the breed of my dragon would change my future so drastically.

As day bleed into night I began to wonder how long this would take. I was prepared to stay however long it took but I didn’t know how long I could stay awake as I was already feeling the need to sleep. Just as I was starting to be mesmerized by the shadows and the way they danced as if to a song I couldn’t hear I began to realize that the sun was set. Where was the light coming from then? It was then that it hit me. I dove behind the nearest tree and glanced around at the egg. Yellow lines the made it look as if lava was flowing around the inside of the egg danced with light, the contrast between the grey of the egg and the lines of yellow was beautiful and mesmerizing. Just as I was about to venture out from behind the tree, the egg exploded. I felt a searing pain on my face as I jumped behind the tree, I reached up afraid that I might feel blood. My fears were unfounded as it seemed the egg had simultaneously cut and cauterized the skin, I feared there might be scar.

After I had finished my self-examination I looked at the spot where the egg had been, in it’s place was a very confused looking baby dragon. It’s scales were a deep green almost like ivy though ivy wasn’t as dark, with eyes shaped like almonds, though it’s eyes… god it’s eyes. They were the brightest blue I had ever seen, like the waters of Lough Neagh. I crept forward slowly while maintaining eye contact with the dragon. It moved forward keeping it’s eyes on you, the curiosity beaming from them. Just as your hand was about to make contact with it’s face you turned away leaving your hand there. If the dragon trusted you it would move forward and make contact itself.

Your heart leapt into your chest when you felt the warmth from the dragon's scales on your hand, you turned back to see those bright blue eyes looking straight at you. The dragon moved forward slowly along the ground reminding you of a cat in the way it moved. It’s nose moved closer to yours slowly sniffing you. You discreetly looked to see the gender, it was a girl. You looked at her and felt a warmth in your chest that you could only describe as protective, you knew in that moment that you would do whatever it took to protect her. She moved even closer staring into your eyes. You wondered what was going through her mind as she stared at you. It felt like she was seeing into your very soul, you hoped she liked what she saw.

It seemed that she did as she promptly liked your nose. You giggled at that. It seemed she took that as a sign of consent to climb all over you, finally finding her place to perch on your shoulder. You looked at her there and with the light coming through the trees you couldn’t help thinking, “With a dragon such as this beside me nothing will stand in my way.”

Strays (working titel)

Tbh I don’t like writing down or drawing characters in such an early stage of a project. because I will change so much about them and writing it down feels so final?

but I like them a lot for the month they exist and I know it will take me a couple of years until mi make an actual story/comic out of this and I kinda want to keep record of the changes I make

so here we go:

Story

The story is set in an alternative superhero universe very similar to the dc one because that’s my biggest influence right now. So basically I’m taking the universe rules and bend them how much I want (sorry not sorry). The story will take place in europe in a big city and it’s surrounding cities. So we have skyscrapers, old buildings, lots of parks, small suburb areas and good old industrialized apartment blocks.

The whole story kinda came to life through the thought of “why are there so few european superheroes” and “who is taking care of the rest of the world if all big heroes chill in America?” Also going into the whole idea of not so big heroes working for the people instead of battling world threatening situations.

Which makes me come to the next point all of the characters in this story aren’t that freaking powerful. They are either too young to be big heroes yet or they simply have very basic abilities that make them not really op.

The whole story is set to be rather funny and light in comparison to all the dark shit I’m usually writing ( I needed a soft story to work on for once). There will still be epic battles and dramatic plot twists and the likes but overall it’s supposed to be rather uplifting and funny (think marvel movie like, which will be hard because I’m bad at coming up with funny jokes)

Format

I was thinking about cutting the story into multiple short arcs each around 100 pages. The idea behind that is to be able to release them as individual volumes you can pick up in the middle like a good comic series. And I wanted to do this as a side project while working on my bigger stuff as some kind of break… Who knows when I’ll actually start to draw this

Characters

this stuff will change a loooooot

especially names. Names are usually the last thing I decide when creating new ocs so yeah there might be a lot of things that will change in the future

Superboy clone

(who still needs a proper name)

He is in his early 20′s and currently studying law. His hometown is a small village so he lives in the big city in a tiny way too expensive flat and has to work a lot besides studying to pay for his living expenses. His family is very conservative and religious so he’s more than happy to live in the big city where he can be his real self (yeah very generic so far).

Powers: He is extremely strong and will later learn to fly (you could say he is a quarter kryptonian or something)

Dragon Boy

(Who also needs a new name but than again the name is dumb enough to pass as an actual super hero name)

Grew up in the city under harsh circumstances. So your typical low class guy who gets into trouble just for the way he looks and where his family is from. He still lives with his family and makes money through being a pizza courier and being an errand boy for his big brothers.

Powers: He is a demon vessel which so far just makes him hear voices. But thanks to dia he learns to control his powers and he eventually will learn how to turn himself into a beast that looks like a dragon. So yeah again he can fly, is super strong and can breath fire

Dia Mond

(Dia Mond Is her human name. I still need to come up with a demon one)

A demon summoned into the dead body of a prostitute who’s work alias she adapts. She helps dragon boy with his demon voice problems but decides to stay with the group after her job is done. She has her own motives and her overtaking the body of a supposed to be dead person will make a lot of trouble for the group later on

Powers: well basically all kind of demon powers. She can speak and understand every language, can easily manipulate people and can fight as well as her earthly body allows her to. If she wants she can even summon lower demons or hell beings. But most times she just watches the others and makes snarky comments. So technically she is the most powerful of the group but she hardly ever uses her powers

Witch

(she needs a proper name)

A well known witch that lends her dark powers to everyone who pays her. She helps the others because she feels pitiful for dragon boy (and they pay her) by summoning dia. She thoroughly regrets that later ‘cause dia takes a liking to her and she is kinda stuck with her. Her hideout becomes the first base of the group.

Powers: all sorts of dark magic. She owns several books filled with powerful spells but every spell has it’s price

Pigeon

(yep that is her superhero name)

A french girl who is obsessed with cute and pastel things. She is always in a good mood and lifts everyone up. She also hates conflicts and wants everyone to get along.

Power: she has a special connection to pigeons and can see whatever they see. Which sounds very useless is actually very powerful: pigeons are everywhere in the city and so common nobody really cares about them which makes her the perfect spy.

Shikari/Falcon | Anzu

(not sure which name I should pick for her, but I really wanna go down the road of the Hawk/Dove vs Falcon/Pigeon pun)

Anzu is very quiet and shy. She let’s her girlfriend pigeon do most of the talking.

Powers: Anzu has a pet falcon which she is able to share a mind with. So her ability is very similar to Pigeons which made them close in the first place. Compared to pigeon her ability is limited to this one bird and it’s more of a mind controlling ability while pigeon can only see and hear what the birds let her see and hear.

Lancer

He is a huge nerd studying economy because his parents want him to inherit their business (he hates his study through and would rather spend 24/7 with his 2D waifus). He lives in a huge house in the country side and spends most of his money on his “becoming a superhero”-project. Because of his rich upbringing and him being a “know-everything” type of person he comes off as very arrogant.

The rest of the group find out about his family and that he’s rich waaaaay later into the story ‘cause he never tells them. He provides their second hideout eventually

Power:

Uhmm he is rich and has too much pocket money to spent on high-tech toys and body armor. When he was younger his parents gifted him a horse to teach him responsibilities. That horse is his best (and only) friend and he is a pretty good rider who also won a couple of tournaments

Archer

She works for an animal rescue and through her work meets a parasitic alien that lives inside a horses body. The horse and the alien are getting along pretty well and so she adopts “them” to keep their secret. (I have no clue how to introduce this mess of a character into the story but oh well here they are)

Powers: Archer is a great well yeah archer combined with her alien-horse buddy they are unbeatable

Bellerophon

(yeah not sure if I keep that name because no one will remember that one)

Her father was a famous engineer who created a ai horse for her. So of course, Bell follows into his footsteps by becoming an programmer and engineer herself. Over the years she optimized her robot horse Pegasus into an actual winged horse that can fly.

Powers: She is pretty much the brain of the group. Bell doesn’t has any special superpowers besides being extremely smart and good at crafting and creating technical and non-technical things in minutes

Titania

(an old x-men oc that deserves to see the light of day again)

Titania is a superhero apprentice. When she comes back to her hometown, she has to realize that a group of smalltime heroes are running wild in her city. She finds their hideout quickly and confronts them with how stupid and dangerous what they are doing is. The others pretty much ignore her and at some point, she has to realize the only way to stop them from doing dumb things is by joining them and spending her home vacation training a group of wannabe heroes.

Powers: Titania can manipulate any type of metal. She is still young and learning with actual heroes how to use her powers. She is the only one of the group besides superboy clone with actual superpowers. And also the only one with affiliations to actual superheroes.

Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen… Instead of Anakin turning to the dark side, he raises his children with his loving wife and kills Palpatine personally.

Does not shipping something ‘popular’ mean you’re in denial and/or biased? Not at all.

What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom? The relentless mistreatment of female characters.

What is the purest ship in the fandom? FinnRey. It’s so good.

What are your thoughts on crack ships? If it’s for you, whatever. It’s not for me.

Popular character you hate? Not that I know of? I have a lot of vitriolic star wars hate though, so let me know.

Unpopular character you love? RIYO CHUCHI IS MY WIFE AND ALSO AHSOKA’S WIFE.

Would you recommend XXX to a friend? Why or why not? Yes always and forever Star Wars owns my ass.

How would you end XXX/Would you change the ending of XXX? Rey needs a girlfriend on one arm and Finn on the other as she goes to train with her father.

Most shippable character? Frankly I ship Padmé, Leia, and Rey around a lot. Wonder why.

Least shippable character? Palpatine and Snoke. I’d tell them to go fuck themselves but they don’t deserve the pleasure.

Dust in the Skies - A Hiccup and OC Fanfic: Ch. 6

Chapter Six: Independent

Morning had risen and Dust let out a loud yawn succeeding in making her sleeping partner jump awake.

Eira glared at her dragon, who only chuckled and ignored her complaints. Huffing off her annoyance, she began to work out the kinks in her shoulders that were earned by sleeping on a hard surface. As she did the fur finally rolled off her, making both girls notice it was there. Curious as to where it came from, Eira turned to Dust silently asking the question with just her stare.

The dragon however, didn’t care where the material came from and began her own morning routine. Her routine consist of cleaning her beautiful dark scales that held a shimmer of purple with her tongue, almost the way a cat would give itself a bath.

The brunette blew her bangs out of her eyes and huffed. She fixed the one long braid that fell over her right shoulder and her bun that sat at the base of her head. The last thing she did before hauling the fur over her shoulder was to make sure that the trinket she wore was safely hidden under her tunic. She gave a quick goodbye to her friend and set off towards the village to find the generous Viking.

Walking around the village was not an easy task for her. Not only were there people running about doing their daily preparations and occupations, but the different dragons zigzagging throughout had no idea how much chaos they were causing. Even without the people and dragons the village itself was like a giant maze. She ended up at the docks at least twice or maybe there was more than one. It seemed plausible with all the fishing they did. Either way she did not find the person she was searching for there. She was about to give up when she bumped into someone and caused a huge disaster of knocking the things over within one of the buildings as she tried to catch herself. Her blue eyes widen in fear and embarrassment as she scrambled to fix the mess.

The man she ran into carefully picked up the fur she was carrying with his one and only good hand and gave the girl a look as she frantically put his equipment back. Sadly, it was all in the wrong place and he had to stop her.

“Whoa there lass, I can handle putting that away.”

“Um, okay,” she mumbled.

He handed the blanket back to her as he began to straighten out the mess.

Eira watched him and a wave of guilt washed over her. “I am sorry about that I was just-“

“Eh, don’t worry about that,” he brushed it off putting away some of his tools in their proper place. When he finally saw her he asked, “You must be Eira.”

Her blue eyes gave him a suspicious look, not enjoying the idea of a stranger knowing her name. She clutched the fur tighter questioning him, “And how would you know that?”

“Hiccup told me of course.”

That took her by surprise, “You know Hiccup?”

He nodded, “He is the Chief’s son.”

“That makes sense,” she mumbled and rolled her eyes at her own stupidity.

“And also my apprentice since he was littler.”

“Oh?”

“Yep,” he turned around to see her still standing in the doorway. “Well don’t linger there all day, come in and take a seat.” He tossed a stool near her and then got back to his work.

The girl nodded and took her seat. Taking a look around the hut she could only venture that it was a forge, but was confused as how a man with a hook for a hand could craft any weapons. That was until she watched as he changed the hook out for a pair of pliers and then a hammer. She gulped and looked away. Her eyes wandering all over the nooks and crannies in the place. After scanning her environment she began to ask some questions.

“So is Hiccup still your apprentice or is he doing something else?”

“Oh that boy still comes here to work and to tweak on his own things. His workshop is back there in the corner if you want to take a look.”

“Are you sure?”

He waved a hand telling her to go ahead, which she did. The first thing she saw were sheets of parchments with different drawings and writings on it. Taking a closer look she realized there were all schematics of different inventions and mostly of a familiar Night Fury. They all seemed to focus around the tail fin and different prosthetics for said missing fin.

“He drew all these?”

The smith looked over his shoulder to see what she was talking about. “His charcoal scratches you mean?” he joked and she nodded. “Oh yeah. That boy is always scribbling away at some new idea he imagined.”

She hummed and kept looking through them. Eira was so focused in her gazing and the black smith’s background music he was singing, she did not notice the shadow hovering over her. “Why is he so focus on the tail fin section of a Night Fury?”

“Because Toothless is missing one of his,” Hiccup’s deep childlike voice ranged out causing the girl to jump.

Eira was so startled by his appearance that she knocked over half of his things on his work bench on the floor and almost tripped over the small stool that was sticking out. She would have fallen down if he had not steady her.

“And they called me a hiccup,” he snickered at his own joke.

“Hey you two!” the black smith yelled, “Be careful!”

“Sorry Gobber,” the teen male replied, “we’ll clean this up.”

Gobber grunted and turned his attention back to the mace he was forging.

Without realizing it Hiccup was still holding on to Eira. He only noticed when she mumbled out a thanks with a beet red stain on her cheeks from the embarrassing display of hers. His own copied hers, but not for the same reason. He quickly let go and stumbled on what to say. He didn’t have to stumble for long when she thrusted the blanket in his face. Hiccup raised an eyebrow at her silently asking her what this was.

Glaring she told him, “don’t give me that look. I know you gave this to me last night and it was a good gesture, but I don’t need your charity.”

He smirked and handed the fur back to her, “Well whoever gave it to you, I wouldn’t consider it charity to do so. I would consider it as barrowing it for your stay here.”

She huffed and held the fur in her hands. “Fine.”

“See that was not so hard. Besides from your blue face last night, no one needs you to be an icicle.”

A smirk formed over her lips, “And how do you know I was turning blue if you didn’t visit me?”

“Uh lucky guess?”

“Uh huh, sure it was,” she rolled her eyes as his bad lying. She looked down at the blanket she was clutching and sighed. “Well thank you for this. It was kind of cold out there.”

“You’re welcome.”

Both teens stood in front of one another in an awkward silence. They rocked on their heels and failed miserably to start a conversation. Even their glances at one another were hard to watch, but in one of Hiccup’s glances he saw something on Eira.

“Hey, you have some soot on your cheek.” Before she could even react to what he had said, Hiccup licked his thumb and started to rub the dirt away. To do so his face was very close to her own making the girl feel really nervous.

Eira did not move. She stood perfectly still and did not breathe. To make it worse her face turned back into the beet red blush. It was only when he was standing up right and back into his own space did she take a breath and excused herself in a rapid manner.

Taken back at her quick retreat the male rider shrugged it off and went to straighten up his work station. He chuckled slightly at the mess she had caused and put away the spilt quills and charcoal. As he continued to work he heard the black smith laugh.

“And what are you snickering about over there Gobber?”

“Oh nothing,” he hummed, making the lad suspicious. “I have a feeling that the lass may like you.”

Hiccup’s freckled cheeks burst into a bright red as he scampered out excuses as to why he was wrong.

This only made the mentor smile more, “I think maybe I was wrong.”

The teen’s demeanor relaxed after hearing that.

“I think you like her.”

Now the blush was back tenfold making his face look and feel like fire. “I just think you’re going blind in your old age then Gobber,” the auburn hair boy stammered out.

“Even blind Vikings can tell when love is in the air,” he waved his arm that was a hammer at that moment.

“Whatever,” he shook off the embarrassment and began setting up to draw his new tail fin design. When he was about to begin he wanted to say one more thing to Gobber to convince him that he was wrong. Yet, as he was saying it even he wasn’t convince, “You know you are wrong Gobber. I mean I like Astrid, remember?”

Gobber said nothing. He just hoped that the boy he helped raise was smarter than to believe what he had just said. For his sake and to the poor new girl’s.
