Re: your half brothers au

Elder Hiccup: This is Toothless, he’s one of the rarest types of dragons, an excellent flyer and fighter, and we met I slowly gained his trust and loyalty until we could fly as a single unit

Younger Hiccup: This is Windwalker, I found him stuck in a tree after he escaped his chains. He doesn’t like loud noises and he’s too small to fly with me yet. I would give my life to protect him.

I’ve been curious but what’s your all time favorite KC fic? Or top five if that’s a little easier.

Even top 5 is hard! 🤣 It's very hard to compare fics I love for me. I couldn't tell you which is my all time favorite, for instance. I have a few that I consider to be my faves. I'll just mention five by different authors, in no order of preference, just as they come to mind:

The Parisian Deal by Borzoi

The Birth and Death of the Day by @little-miss-sunny-daisy

This is a Harvest by @highgaarden

Light Years aka Klarolijah Trilogy My Beloved by @definedareasofuncertainty

Inertia Overcome by @avari20 (my first ever KC fic and still one of my favorites!)

I love all of these writers so, so very much and picking just ONE fic by them is very difficult for me, which is one of the reasons why it's so hard to make rankings or define my *one* favorite fic ever. Just consider that anything written by them ever is on my list (because I think I've read almost everything by them, if not all) and highly recommend it.

The Russian Borzoi, barely known in Britain in the mid-nineteenth century had, by the turn of the twentieth, become a symbol of eastern exoticism, as romantic and avant-garde as Sergei Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes. Imports of the Borzoi to Britain through aristocratic networks added to the exclusivity of the breed. By the outbreak of World War I, the Borzoi had become popular at shows and freighted with feminine, oriental, and patrician qualities, much like the noble ladies who showed them. As the Borzoi example indicates, human appropriation of dog breeds to express social identity extended beyond class to include gender and nationality.

The doggy world throws light on other dimensions of social and political change, as well. The formation of the Ladies Kennel Association in 1894 crystalized doggy women’s increasing agitation to be recognized as breeders and exhibitors in their own right and to have their say in canine affairs. That this was concurrent with a growing women’s rights movement should not surprise us. Similarly, women were typically the early champions of hygiene and welfare in the show world, and the Ladies Kennel Association was a strong advocate of banning the cruel practices associated with particular breeds, notably, cropping ears and docking tails.
