    Summary

    “Tairn worries over his human’s need to mate you. It’s affecting her battle performance.”

    Impossible. Violet doesn’t want me anymore, and she’s made that very clear through weeks of resolute indifference. “I told you before, humans don’t need—“

    Sgaeyl is having none of it. “You’re ceaselessly distracted by the sight of her, and yet you say you have no need to mate. I, also, worry over your battle performance.”

    “My performance is just fine,” I mentally grit back.

    Her voice picks up a wry edge. “Perhaps you can begin the mating ritual by telling that to the girl.”

    My palm slams down onto the table with a violent rattle of dishes, and instantly every conversation ceases, and every eye turns towards me.

    Mother****er.

    -—•—-

    Sick of all the mutual pining, Sgaeyl and Tairn basically Parent Trap their riders into giving each other another chance.

    Set shortly after the events in Fourth Wing.

One day, Astrid Hofferson decides to be brave and talk to him. He’s actually really nice…for an eldritch abomination.

    A Beauty and the Beast AU.

    Summary

    When Astrid accepted the pediatrics position in Berk, she wasn’t looking to escape — she was finally ready to stop running. After years away, she returned to the town that raised her, the hospital that shaped her, and the people she once called home.

    She just didn’t expect him. Hiccup Haddock. Her childhood best friend. Her first kiss. Her first time. Her first everything.
    Now the hospital’s chief of surgery — and the man who’s done pretending he can live without her.

    She came back to rebuild her life.
    He’s here to prove she never stopped being his.

    Summary

    Astrid's soulmate is a fantastic artist- the proof shows up on her skin daily, so much so that it interrupts her entire life. While the work is beautiful, she struggles to reconcile her bitterness that her skin never feels like her own.

    Hiccup, a dreamer and an outcast, pines after Astrid even though he knows it's wrong to covet someone that's not meant for him. He finds refuge in his art, and surely if there was someone out there for him, wouldn't they have responded by now?

    Summary

    Seven fifty a month. Average rent for a one-bedroom in downtown Berk runs about eleven hundred a month if you don’t want to live above a club or a subway station or dog kennel, which Astrid doesn’t, so she’s willing to deal with a lot for this seven fifty a month. But a lot, even as a vague concept, still has boundaries. Boundaries that loom ever closer with every kitchen cabinet she opens to find bare and empty space instead of bed bugs or black mold or a secretly cemented in shrine to Tom Brady or Cthulhu.

    The closet isn’t a walk-in, but it’s clean, and the landlord will let her set her own rent schedule. Hell, it’s quiet because neighbors both up and downstairs are renting on airbnb from out of state, so she basically has this whole side of the building to herself. Most of her few boxes are almost fully unpacked when she finally starts to come around to the idea that sometimes when things seem too good to be true, it might just be because they are that good.

    And that’s when the bright red laser dot appears on the light fixture on the kitchen ceiling.
