Varian Month: Week 1 (Alchemy)
As prompted by rocksandrobots, here is my chapter 1. I didn’t get a lot of heads up... just kind of made this as fast as I could. Mine are going to be How to Train You Dragon crossovers because I want to.
The landing had been rough. Hiccup and Toothless, and the rest of the riders, had been practicing crash landings. They were always unpleasant, but they had gotten the technique down. The dragon is responsible for taking the brunt of impact and rider readies themselves for a force dispersing roll. It wasn't perfect but it's hard to practice something that could break every bone in your body.
Thankfully, that skrill hadn't knocked them from too high. Well, more like thankfully there was an island summit they were just passing. They had been trying to practice some advanced reflex tests around the cliffs and sea stacks.
It was funny how unprepared he was. With all the dealings with the Outcasts, Berserkers and even his own people, He hadn't put much thought into what to do when he met another person like him. Another dragon rider... another inventor even. Another hiccup.
When he'd first seen the skrill, the same skrill, unfrozen and back for revenge he cursed his usual luck for running into it again while just out for a nighttime fly. It dove in and out of the clouds snapping and sparking at them. That was when he heard a voice shouting over the wind. Normal dragon flying things like "Hey! Knock it off!" Or just general screaming.
Eventually he got a good look at what was ridding the skrill and it didn't look human. Just a blob of dragon skin flapping in the wind completely unbothered by the electricity around it. Hiccup had just made contact with a pair of horrible bug-like black eyes and was distracted enough to miss his moment. Toothless tried to doge another attack and his tail wasn't turned for it in time and they were flung onto the better side of a cliff.
Now, as Hiccup turned himself upright, the purple dragon was landing just behind Toothless. Before he could stand a burst of pink erupted beneath his dragon. The substance clung to his scales and the ground. Toothless gave a roar as he rolled. Grass was ripped from soil easily, but his claws and wings couldn’t be pulled free.
Hiccup sprinted to his dragon tried to help pull him free only for his hands to get trapped as well. "Oh, gods" He sighed in panic. "Calm down bud. Don't move." Toothless managed to move himself just enough to see his rider's predicament before turning back and roaring at something Hiccup couldn't see.
Suddenly a staff, polished and alight with the same electric energy as the skrill was held too close to his face. The light reilluminated the horrible bug eyes. A swift movement removed the unformed shawl from over its face. It's human face, obviously, of course he was human. Hiccup never thought he wasn't.
The boy seemed to be Hiccup's age, only slightly taller. "Ok" He sighed, catching his breath. "We ready to calm down."
"Am I ready to calm down?!"
"I know this looks bad, but I swear this isn't my fault."

The worst part about tangled us that they gave me a lil autistic guy who focuses on accessibility, believes in government transparency, fought against a corrupt monarchy and tried to expose the government’s secret fucking police, was used as a scapegoat, and imprisoned and the show wants me to believe that his Good Happy Ending is him working for the very institution that he became disenchanted with to begin with
‘Royal engineer’ sorry beloved, but no <3

thrilled to draw varian carrying hugo because it's correct in every way.
me and my friend have this hc that since hugo is white as shit, he's one of those that bruises really easy. so like a quarter of the bruises varian sees (in the top right) aren't even from the fight it's from him bumping into a bush or something

Someone save me I keep doing game redraws 💔💔💔💔💔💔
Not surprising I’m yapping down here
Non glasses version 👍
OK ANYWAYS.
I want to draw some character sheets soon just to have all my ideas so far slapped somewhere, I REALLYYYY want to draw Eugene, Rapunzel, Cass, and Kiera especially because this is my first time drawing them so I need to get their designs down not only for this au but also canon wise 😭😭
ALSO my idea for all of their ages will be different then their canon of course and the characters that they’ve taken the roles of :)
Here’s the list so far 👍
Eugene, Rapunzel, and Cassandra = 3rd years
Varian and Hugo = 2nd years
Catalina, Kiera, and Nuru = 1st years
Yong = …a child. He doesn’t go to school because actually!!! I’ve decided he will take over the role of Mona finally. I didn’t draw him here just because well. Mona is a cat in a bag there and I want Yong to still be human even outside the metaverse! My main idea with his wish is, instead of wanting to be human, he believes he’s an adult/older. Much like the rest of the phantom thieves

If you told Hugo a day ago that Varian Ritter would be passed out on his bed at 5am on a Tuesday, he would’ve laughed and asked the informant if it’s drugs they’re taking or drugs they should be taking that they’re not.
If you told Hugo a day ago that the Alchemist would ever reach out to him, the Red Hunter, for help, well– screw it, maybe he would believe you. They were almost-coworkers after all.
