How do two people who are so different find themselves drawn to one another? This takes place in the early days of Valka and Stoick's relationship. Before he became chief, before her loyalties changed, they each found something in the other worth clinging to. (Will eventually be five to six chapters long. Title may change.)

Valka was not the only one taken that fateful night. She refused to let go of the tiny bundle in her arms. Her only child, her son Hiccup.

Hiccup wasn't sure how it was possible to have such a bad day. Fail to shoot down a Night Fury? Check. Get chased by a Monstrous Nightmare? Check. Forced to help maintain the Kill Ring as punishment? Double Check. Movie-Deviation
