Collection of modern AU oneshots in which Hiccup has Crohn's disease and Astrid has brain cancer. These stories document their lives, their suffering, their triumphs, and the love they share that is under the surface of it all.

Astrid rescues Hiccup after he was taken by pirates four months ago. However, his mind and body have been shattered by starvation, abuse, and worse. Now, Astrid is left to pick up the pieces and try to find the mind of the boy she loves amidst the tendrils of darkness that hold him hostage. But the healing process will be long and difficult.

Oneshots exploring a world in which Toothless killed Hiccup instead of Stoick.

AU. It's during WWI, and Hiccup is being summoned to the front lines. But he doesn't want to say goodbye to his beloved...

Written for Midoriko-sama's fic "Becoming Lífþrasir." This oneshot depicts Hiccup's first winter on his own after leaving Berk, and let's just say he didn't do so well at first...

Modern AU. It's not just women that are in abusive relationships. Hiccup needs a hero, and it comes in the form of a slender, foul-mouthed, stubborn, blond girl who is the first person in a long time that thinks he's worth the world.

Stoick didn't get there in time, and Toothless didn't miss.

We can't always stay with the ones we love, no matter how much we love them or how much they'd be willing to die to protect us. Sometimes fate takes us before our time, and Toothless can't understand why they'd take Hiccup when he wanted to stay.
