I can imagine how confused Hiccup would have been when he was walking around town and people are like shocked to see him like he dramatically change when it was like only a growth spurt that we all go through I felt the exact same way when I was in my first year of high school like I don't think I really change much just a little bit of height and getting some curves which is normal for growing girls nothing surprising for me but apparently my class thought the opposite because they uncomfortable started talking about my body like I'm totallyyyyy fine with them talking about how my chest grew or my hip which isn't even that big! just bigger then most girls in my class because I'm just an early bloomer it seems but after a few days everything started becoming normal thank thor! Like I don't get me wrong I'm not bragging I'm just telling how I felt that same I went through my growth spurt never really think I was ever attractive especially since non of my classmates ever told me I'm pretty they called me cute sometimes but not pretty so I never really thought about my face I would honestly say I'm an average girl for my face

this was excellent

I loved the part about how Hiccup was dealing with so many things at once he wished he could put Astrid on pause to sort out his life first. And also, Flik? Ohhhhh yessssssssss. So, so true!

THAT WAS AMAZING! The end really took my breath away, and how you transitioned Hiccup, really exploring him as a person was beautiful. Also, what’s not to love about a totally badass/awkward/oblivious Hiccup?

Keep writing, you’ve got a talent for it.

This was SO GOOD!

I was deeply, deeply impressed with this. Is it also on the AO3? I want to quote lines I liked and FFN won't let me copy-paste text?

I really like the character growth you show in this fic! Good job!

Amazing exploration of Hiccup’s it.

Well done! May I ask if you will add the other characters too?

A progression from Runt to Chief, and quite well of an explanation of how he got there and what helped him figure it out along the way.

And, lets not forget, those who helped him get there.

This was a fresh and wonderful story to write. I always enjoy a good character development. Kinda wished the httyd2 hiccup part was longer though

Great, awesome story! Very good character study. Thank you!

This is really good.
