"There was not a cloud passing above his head, no sign of enemy approaching his island. The Chief should be happy, or calm at least. There should be a gentle smile tugging at his lips and the sound of his steady breathing should resonate in the air. There should be peace in his heart. There was none." A personal approach to the possible events of HTTYD 3. Mild Hiccstrid.

"You think that's funny?" Hiccup mumbled in an offended voice. "It sure is," Snotlout cackled. "Mostly because it's probably the first time ever that we've been sitting here together, and you are the one whining." Hiccstrid, modern AU, with a lot of scrap metal involved.

She didn't want to work with him. She didn't want to work with anybody. And especially not on a presentation as far from her interests as possible, at the time when all she wanted was to have a break she couldn't even dream of. Hiccstrid, University/Modern AU.

"I don't know, Tobes. It's just strange to see the sun." A week after his coming back from the Darklands, Jim still cannot fully readjust. With more unexpected things happening in Arcadia, the process proves to be even more challenging - although it might've been easier if Claire wasn't acting so awfully indifferent. Takes place between episodes 6 and 7 season 2. Jlaire.

"Listen, Dragon Boy. I am eternally, utterly and hopelessly in love with you. I want to have everything to do with you. If you asked me to clasp your chest, fly to the Edge, and marry you on its shores right after we land, I would probably say yes and never regret it. But..." Or, when Hiccup tries to be romantic, but fails miserably. Hiccstrid, set right before HTTYD 2.

"He shouldn't have been surprised. He should have seen that coming – no, scratch that. He had seen that coming. Ever since he and Astrid had met, they knew it wasn't meant to be anything more than the greatest friendship the human kind had ever seen. It didn't diminish his pain a bit." Hiccstrid, soulmate AU.

Modern AU. Hiccup's SUPPOSED to be learning about the Cold War. But it's difficult with one girl constantly badgering him, and even more difficult when Astrid Hofferson is sitting two seats away from him, making his heart pound in his chest. Oneshot.

When a crazy lady from an island says she can see people's feelings, what will she reveal about Hiccup? Oneshot. Inspired by ashleybenlove on Tumblr.

Amy knew she couldn't panic just because she was trapped in an elevator for an indefinite amount of time, and luckily her partner is there to help her get through it (get together one shot). If there was a 3rd genre option allowed it would be humor, so this isn't too heavy.

Jake is mortally wounded and Amy thinks this might be the last chance she has to tell him she loves him. 100% Peraltiago with a happy ending. A get together one shot that's a bit lengthy.

Roy didn't realize that she was the center of his dream until he was faced with losing her forever.

Whether or not the moment runs out, they'll still have each other. Fluffy, sweet Royai one-shot. Can be set before Brotherhood/manga or during or after.

Roy and Riza comfort each other throughout their various injuries over the course of their knowing each other. Written for annablume/mondfuchs. Both Young!Royai and Post-Brotherhood!Royai.

Ben and Bea are serious about competition of all sorts, from verbal sparring to laser tag. How long can that last? In which they both cheat at games, misinterpret casual comments, and talk things out without angst. Set in the Nothing Much to Do universe, and prompted by this picture on Harriet Maire's Tumblr: harriettstella . tumblr . com/image/103584308577

They run into each other at the county fair, and it's been a while. This is a story about coming to terms with the end of senior year, rekindling old friendships through study sessions, getting philosophical on Ferris wheels, and falling in love of the midst of it all. AU.

Sneaking in and out of Annabeth's dorm is always an interesting and challenging experience, for all parties involved. Especially with nuns.

The night of Hero's party, Beatrice comes down to find the party cleaned, and Benedick doing dishes. NMTD Beatrice x Benedick oneshot.

Annabeth's the girl who hardly ever loses a race, and Percy's the new kid who doesn't have time for track team. It's a love story waiting to happen. AU.

Drabbles for the Domesticity Meme. Part II: Food, nicknames, and a lot of profanity (not that Jake understands any of it).
