#hiccup haddock fluff

[ddejavvu]

hiccup casual dominance haddock gently chastising reader who cannot stop biting the skin around their fingers……. (i love ur blog and ur writing btw<3)

the way he grabs astrid's arms and shakes her in the second movie. mhm mhm.

--

It's something mindless, the gnawing of your teeth at the sharp edge of your finger. You have a habit of biting the skin around your nails, and this one seems to have regrown from the last time you'd severed it. It's something you'd felt with the pad of your thumb and raised to your mouth without thinking, but Hiccup notices it like it's a lit neon sign.

"Hey!" He snaps, still bent over his workbench but no longer focused on the patches of leather he's sewing together. He says nothing more, and your hand lowers unconsciously from your mouth when you raise your head to look at him. You're semi-alarmed: there's really no good reason to be yelling in a forge, it usually means something is on fire. But Grump is very much asleep in the corner, and the flames have gone out.

"What?" You ask, truly stumped. You're not trying to be obtuse, your arm halfway raised to your mouth simply doesn't register.

Hiccup raises one eyebrow- you wonder whether he's gotten his sass from Stoick or Valka, because he's got buckets of it, and he flicks his eyes pointedly downwards towards your hand, then back up at your face, unimpressed.

You mirror his gaze, realizing that your eyes fall upon the mangled skin around your ring finger's nail.

"Oh. Shit," You mumble, shame heating your cheeks. You always feel like such a baby when someone points out your bad habit, but you know Hiccup isn't trying to tease you, so you jam your hand into your lap, smearing away saliva on your pants.

"You're gonna make yourself bleed." Hiccup's voice is gentle but pointed, "Again."

You neglect to tell him that the one time he'd witnessed your teeth grind too far into the meat of your finger- enough to draw blood, hadn't been the first nor the last time you'd bled. It's not the norm, but it's not the outlier either. You merely bite your tongue, waiting for further reprimands, or for gracious silence.

He's a kind man, so he grants you the latter. But as soon as the embarrassment clears from your head, you forget all about the incident, and you become immersed in the pages of your book once more.

Off-kilter stomping, one-part boot and one-part metal peg, is all the warning you get before your hands are snatched away from you, one pulled from your lap and the other from your mouth.

You're already rushing out a, 'Sorry, sorry, sorry!' but he won't let your hand go when you tug at it. He holds it firmly in his own, his brow set in a stern frown. He looks like his father's namesake, and you foresee him being a very intimidating chief one day- if perhaps he can pile on some meat to his bones.

"Stop biting your fingers." He says, shaking your arms gently with each word, "I have eagle eyes. You forget, I have to watch Toothless constantly to make sure he doesn't steal my leg right out from under me."

Toothless's great head raises from where it had been sleepily resting on the wood floor, and he presents his disdain for Hiccup's terrible accusations in the form of a testy huff.

"I notice everything." Hiccup promises, his eyes boring into yours, "You're never gonna be able to sneak it past me."

"I'm not trying to sneak it past you!" You swear, shame once again licking at the inside of your chest. You try not to whine, but your voice takes on a hint of hopelessness, "I'm- it just happens, I don't know! I don't think about doing it, and I don't do it on purpose, it just happens! It's like breathing! How am I supposed to stop doing it when I don't even do it on purpose?"

"I will help you stop." Hiccup decides, the frown on his features softening as your desperation bleeds through, "It's okay, I'll- we'll figure something out. Like gloves!" He brightens, "Leather gloves, I can make them, that way they'll stop you from biting at your actual finger. And then it'll force you to think about it, and slowly you'll stop doing it altogether. Or something that tastes bad on your fingers. I could ask Astrid to make some of her yaknog- that stuff's thick enough to be a paste. I can spread it on your fingertips and then you'll be deterred by just the smell. Or- or a restraint! I could chain some cuffs to the bench," Hiccup gestures at the slab of wood you're sitting on, "And you can have just enough give to read your book, but not to reach for your face."

"Hold on," You stop him, knowing his mind is filling with glorious, terrible ideas, "You want to handcuff me and chain me to the bench?"

Hiccup's face shifts, clarity dawning on his bright features and dimming them, "Okay, that one- you're right, that's not my best idea."

"I don't want yaknog on my hands either," You grimace, "Can we just- try the gloves?"

"Yeah. The gloves." Hiccup nods, squeezing your hands with finality, but only releasing one- the one you'd spared. He keeps the freshly-bitten fingers in his own hand, peering worriedly at the skin to spot any blood. When he finds none, he drags your hand to his mouth, kissing gently over the side of your finger before finally letting you have it back.

"I'll start on your gloves right away," He goes back to his workbench, sliding his previous project to the side, "Snotlout is just gonna have to wait for his new saddle. As long as Hookfang doesn't burn through the one he's got, he'll be fine for a few more days. But you need those gloves now." Hiccup stares pointedly at you from across the room, "For now, please try not to bite your fingers. Or I'll sick Toothless on you."

Big green eyes stare at you with interest from across the room, but the dragon won't pounce without Hiccup's command. You'd rather like to keep breathing clean air and not fish breath, so you tuck your hands beneath your thighs on the bench, electing to only remove one to turn a page of your book.

"Perfect," Hiccup grins, a hint of pride in his smile as he grabs for a fresh panel of leather, "I'll have your gloves done in no time."

[elshe]

✨“Can we keep them?!”✨

Maybe just Hiccup actually.

Hiccup Haddock Masterlist

Word Count: 1.3k

Genre: Domestic-ish fluff

Pairing(s): Hiccup Haddock x Fem!Reader

Summary: An early morning ride turns into a race between you and Hiccup.

Warnings: Heights

Notes:

Reader is a dragon rider

Readers dragon is never specified

Take place on Dragons Edge

|PICTURES ARE NOT MINE|

——————————————————————

Hiccup makes handling dragons look easy.

It’s not.

It seems that Dragon Hunters have a never ending schedule of making your life difficult.

All you wanted to do was sit outside your hut (that you spent far too much time trying to decide where to place) and enjoy the beautiful view with your dragon, your boyfriend, or your friends.

Easier said than done.

When your boyfriend is Hiccup Haddock who has devoted most of his life to protecting dragons, free time doesn’t come often.

Hiccups values are part of the reason you fell so hard for him, but sometimes it seems to take from your relationship.

Laying in your bed thinking all of this over in your head is not a great start to your morning.

So, you climb out of your bed and throw on some clothes.

You whistle as a sort of wake up call to your dragon who is sleeping soundly.

Your dragon groans and moans barely opening one eye to look at you. This was their way of saying, “Do you know what time it is?”

You scoff under your breath completely aware they could still hear it, "Don't worry, I haven't lost track of the time. Let's go for a ride, just you and me." You move to get their saddle as they move around loudly in protest.

"Weren't you the one who wanted to start doing this?" You bring up the time Hiccup mentioned that he and Toothless go for early morning rides often and your dragon looked at you as if to say, "We should do that!"

Your dragon lets out a regretful moan in response.

You throw the heavy saddle over their back with little difficulty.

"Come on, if you really don't like it, we'll end it early."

____________________

Your dragons behavior has done a full one-eighty. How the dragon you're riding on now and the one you argued with this morning were the same creature baffles you.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" You tease, watching your dragon close their eyes at the feeling of the wind hitting their face.

They snort and suddenly drop a few feet in the air.

A shriek makes it's way out of your mouth and it takes you a few moments to realize that you aren't falling anymore.

"Not funny." You ground your teeth a little.

All your dragon does is laugh in response.

Just when you got over the shock in your body does a familiar voice startle you.

“Good morning, milady!”

Turning your head to peer over your shoulder, you make eye contact with the voice, returning his wide grin with your own.

“Good morning!” You laugh, only needing to wait a minute more before Hiccup and Toothless were right beside you.

Your own dragon and Toothless exchange greetings as you and Hiccup chat.

“Didn’t expect to see you out so early. Something on your mind?” Hiccup questions

You shake your head, grin never faltering, “Just wanted some fresh air, before everyone wakes up. But it seems someone is up.”

Hiccup chuckles, “Oh, you know, just out looking for some adventure. Right, bud?” Toothless grumbles in agreement.

“Adventure, you say? Well, do share with the group.” Your tone is playful.

Hiccup waves his hand in dismissal, “Unfortunately, me and Toothless have seen quite enough adventure for one day. But, I wouldn’t be opposed to sharing our stories to you, milady.”

“You’re all out of adventure for the day? Don’t say that, Snotlouts not even up yet.”

Hiccup's laugh echos around you.

—————————

"So this is where you run off to hm?" You tease sitting down on what you previously believed to be a watch tower. Now realizing it was Hiccup's camouflaged hideout.

Hiccup scoffs playfully, "I don't run off anywhere."

"You're right, you fly." You add

Both Hiccup and your dragon roll their eyes but Toothless lets out a snort of amusement.

"At this point he barely walks himself anywhere, isn't that right?" You look over at Toothless, who happily humors you.

"All right, all right. I guess I won't take you on any morning rides anymore bud." Hiccup voices looking a little smug.

Toothless no longer looks amused.

"Nothing to say Toothless?" Hiccup pokes, earning a glare from the Nightfury.

"Don't worry, Toothless. If he doesn't take you on any morning flights, I will." You whisper loud enough for the other two to hear you, earning a protest from both.

Toothless lets out a laugh and hops around in satisfaction.

Your dragon makes loud noises of detestment and even goes as far as glaring at Toothless.

"What?" You address the cranky dragon, "Do you know how hard it was to get you out of the hut this morning? I'm sure Toothless wouldn't make it so hard for me?" You tease

"Now wait a minute, who said you could steal my dragon?" Hiccup says

"Your dragon." You reply and hear Toothless agree behind you.

Hiccup's mouth opens but no words come out.

You were too busy soaking in the satisfaction you felt from Hiccup's response that you didn't notice your dragon make its way over to you until they knocked you over with their head.

"Hey!" You shriek as your dragon "attacks" you.

You can hear Hiccups laugh in the background and Toothless' sound of surprise.

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry, I was just teasing!" Finally they let up looking satisfied with themselves.

"Like rider, like dragon." Hiccup comments

You scoff, "Says you."

Hiccup leans back against a rock, "Says me." He agrees.

You lean back against your dragon and shake your head.

After a few moments of comfortable silence you reopen the conversation, "Any news from Johann?"

Hiccup sighs, "No. I know he's scouting almost as much as us but it's as if they've gone completely underground."

"Maybe they finally feel defeated. With the more people we meet and become friends with, the more unpopular the dragon hunters get." You add

"Maybe. Or they're planning their next ambush on a new dragon. I feel uneasy with how quiet they've been." Hiccup confides

"We'll keep looking Hiccup. Once we find them we'll stop whatever they're doing, just like we've done before."

Hiccup nods in agreement.

You find a way to bring up your next sentence, "While the dragon hunters are quiet maybe.. we could spend some time to enjoy it." At Hiccup's confused face, you continue, "It's been a long time since we've hung out together, just the two of us."

"We're hanging out together right now?" Hiccup says.

"I know. But just the two of us." You repeat

"Oh. Oh." Hiccup understands

"I know everything has been chaotic, I was just wondering since we seem to finally have some downtime. It'd be beneficial spending it doing something other than talking about the dragon hunters." You explain

"No, you're right. It has been a while since we've hung out, just the two of us. What were you thinking?" Hiccup asks

"I don't know, I wasn't even sure if you wanted to so I didn't really think about what." You say

"You think I wouldn't want to hang out with you? Of course I'd want to hang out with just the two of us, I enjoy your company more than anyone else." Hiccup says

You smile genuinely, "I've been wanting to go down on the beach and examine the shells, see if I could find any fossils or something. How about that?"

Hiccup grins, "Yeah, that sounds really fun."

Your smile grows and you stand up feeling high on adrenaline, "Come on. The others we'll be up soon and we don't want them setting the edge on fire before breakfast again." You offer your hand to Hiccup.

"No we don't." Hiccup takes your hand, "Thank you milady."

"So..race you back to the edge!" You hop on your dragons back.

"Wha-Hey! Wait a minute!" Hiccup calls after you hopping on Toothless' back, "That's not fair!"

Could you do some headcanons for hiccup x fem reader who has a female night fury

I'm gonna start the headcannons for when toothless returns in the first movie thank you for requesting!!

Warnings: mentions of trauma , gore and fire.

IF YOU ARE NOT OVER THE AGE OF 18 OR LEGAL AGE, YOU ARENT WELCOME HERE

Hiccup x fem reader headcannons

You and hiccup grew up together, you weren't always too close to him but you both got closer

You were in dragon training with him meaning you spent time together "defeating" dragons

After about the time the village became aware of toothless you were a bit worried about hiccup, especially after loosing his foot

But to say you were even more surprised that hiccup let toothless go, was an understatement

And then after some time toothless returned.. but he wasn't alone, he had this beautiful blue and black night fury right by his side

When it came down to you and your night fury she hated you at first barely letting you within 5 feet of her

It took years to earn her trust and get to a good trust point, thankfully hiccup and toothless helped

The fact that you both had night fury's made you and hiccup grow even closer

You both couldn't get any closer, both attached at the hip

And when he left to search outside of the archipelago you were the first one he asked

And you were the first who decided that if hiccup was leaving the village to make his own place you would join him

After getting dagger on your side and having to go through Viggo you literally wouldn't leave eachother alone

It started simple, moving into the same hut so toothless and your dragon could have company

And then it moved to inventing new things

Or even both of you just going for flights in the early morning just to hang out

Everyone at the edge figured you and Hiccup liked each other about the time he started fiddling with his necklace and talking to himself

And your give away was talking to toothless any chance you could get just needing someone to talk about the beautiful boy named hiccup

And after stoick's death.. you refused to leave eachothers side, meaning if hiccup went, you went and if you went, hiccup went

About the time hiccup finally proposed it was just you two.. no Dragons just the chief and chieftess of berk

You ended up having three kids together and even went and saw toothless and your dragon often

Toothless and your dragon didn't mate

Toothless got the lightfury

And your dragon ended up with one of the male light furys

And you wouldn't change a single thing

Little cuddly session with Hiccup & Astrid

Set between Rtte & httyd2.

The Northern Lights passed over the village of Berk like pastel-colored veils and reflected in the freshly fallen snow like thousands of gemstones. The annual Snoggeltog was celebrated magnificently in the large hall with beer and yakcotlette and gifts were already being distributed and unpacked. The entire village was guests, except for two who had already retired to personally present their own gifts.

Hiccup stroked the silky blonde hair of his fiancée Astrid, who had snuggled up with him in his soft bed, until he ran his fingertips over the golden comb with the shiny blue scales that fanned out into a small flower. He felt her smile against his bare chest as his fingers slid over her cheek to her bare, round breasts whose nipples nestled against his skin. Hiccup grinned mischievously when he heard Astrid gasp next to him as he brushed his fingers over a nipple. When he wanted to try it again, this time with the other nipple, she sat up and wrapped the blanket over her naked torso. “No more breasts for you, Haddock, if you’re so greedy,” she smirked. But Hiccup just looked at her dreamily, the love of his life, fiery, strong in all her beauty in the same bed with him. He gently stroked her back, which had a large tattoo of her Nadder Stormfly, and directly above it was the tattoo with his name. He heard her exhale in a relaxed manner and watched as she flashed at him over her shoulder with her blue eyes that could awaken even the northern lights with their fiery glow that sometimes reminded him of blue fire. "Someone can't get enough of me." Hiccup smiled and sat up so he could wrap his arms around her, Astrid immediately pushed herself closer to him again. “I can never get enough of you, M’Lady,” he whispered to her as he kissed the top of her head, where the comb had already slipped a little. “You know, Hiccup, this is the best Snoggeltog I've ever had. You and me together," she took his hand in hers and laced their fingers together, "no battles to fight or the twins or Snotlout to stop them from blowing themselves up." Hiccup had to laugh a little at that remark, he knew that Astrid also had a sensitive, vulnerable side that she didn't want to reveal to everyone except those to whom she gave her heart, like him. Especially in the moments when the two of them were intimate with each other, it was particularly important to him that she felt particularly comfortable and loved. She had done so much for him in all the years they had worked together not only as lovers but also as best friends and equal leaders. He never knew how to thank her for having such an extraordinary woman in his life. Yes, a life without his Astrid would be a death sentence for him. That's why he always wanted to make the moments when the two of them had time alone as nice as possible because he knew how much that was important to her. He kissed her cheek teasingly and she giggled softly. “I know, my darling, I’m also glad that I finally have you with me again.” He gently hugged her closer to him. “I just wish we had more time for each other again.” “Me too,” she admitted. “I missed you.” Lost in thought, she braided two braids into his shaggy hair. Suddenly her eyes brightened and he looked at her questioningly. “Maybe we can find time. We could just try to make time for each other every other evening to start with." "I think that's a good idea, but you have to promise me that if things get a little hotter one evening again ", he pointed to their two naked bodies that were hidden under the blanket, "that you are a little quieter, we don't want to let the whole village or our parents know that you are no longer a virgin." She grinned cheekily and leaned her forehead against his. “Of course not, that’s our little secret.”

Inspired by this beautiful piece of art. ☺️

I love the things you wrote for hiccup and would love to read some more! 😭 Sitting in front of him instead of behind him while flying is so real, but what if we were also facing his way? It’s just stuck in my head all the time, the picture is so adorable.

Hiccup is a prolific talker, but the wind whipping across your faces means that his voice is lost to the wind. You're sure his dragon-scale helmet doesn't help, muffling whatever he's telling you about the shadows below the surface of the water.

"What?" You shout, the chill of the ocean breeze below you, the moisture from the clouds beading at your skin. You're clutching him from behind, your arms wrapped tight around his waist as he holds Toothless with the reins he's made for stability. They're more to give him something to hold onto than they are to steer the dragon, because Toothless doesn't usually need much direction, but he grips them regardless.

He repeats himself, and you hear just as much of it the second time as you did the first.

"I can't hear you!" You lean in to speak directly against his ear, his hair tickling the side of your face, "The wind's too loud, and you're facing away from me!"

He turns this time, letting Toothless keep steady on his course. It strains his neck, but he can flip up his helmet to meet your eyes.

"Do you trust me?"

Your brows furrow, but you know intrinsically that the answer is yes. The answer would be yes if he had a sword digging into the flesh of your breast, so you nod as the wind whips at your faces.

He strains his torso to turn in the saddle, his leg clipped to the saddle on a leather strap. He's secured but you're not, and you've been secure in that because Toothless flies carefully with you, and you're always grabbing Hiccup for support. But when Hiccup begins lifting you off of the saddle, you clutch tight at his arms.

"It's okay. I won't let you fall." He soothes, his voice a gentle him that registers now that he's got his mouth near your ear. He's twisting you around, prompting you to lift your legs so that you can flip them around. You flounder for a moment at the thought of turning around on the saddle, but even moreso when you realize that he's going to move you around his side and to the front of the dragon. He's planning to lift you over the side of Toothless, over the open sea, where a plummet would mean certain death.

"Hiccup!" You shriek, grabbing even tighter at his arms. He pauses, hands still heavy on your waist but not pulling anymore. His green eyes bore into yours, soft and sweet, but the cold blue ocean below you is unforgiving.

"Listen to me. I'm not letting you fall. I work for a blacksmith, I can carry your weight. I'm gonna bring you around in front and sit you facing me. You'll be fine, and you won't fall, but if you ever did, we'd catch you."

Your mouth has run dry, but you'd meant it when you said you trusted him. You know Toothless has caught him before, and aside from the missing leg, it doesn't often end in disaster. Toothless is purring inquisitively beneath you both, probably confused as to why you're tense and lifted from the saddle. You take a deep breath and unclench your thighs, letting Hiccup hoist your weight off of the saddle and around the side.

You clench your eyes shut so that you don't see the ocean as you swing around Toothless, but once the dragon's sides are back between your thighs you melt into the leather beneath you, pinching your knees tightly around his ribcage. You'll make up for any soreness with a nice basket of fish later, right now you need to ground yourself.

Your eyes fly open to meet Hiccup's own green ones, his teeth bared in a sheepish grin. His helmet is still lifted away from his features and his nose is inches away from your own, his breath fanning over your chin.

"I told you you'd be okay." He reminds you, "Did you really think I'd let you fall?"

"I didn't think you'd let me," You breathe shakily, "I just thought I'd plummet to my death as part of a freak accident."

"I'm not that weak," Hiccup gripes, "Don't listen to what Snotlout says."

"I trusted you," You hum, laughing gently, leaning in to close the gap between you and brush your noses together. That's all you aim for at first, a tender touch, but when he moves forwards to press his lips to yours, you let him.

"This is nice," He muses, pulling back to gaze over your shoulder, "I can still see the way ahead, and now you can hear me."

"And we can kiss." You add, eyeing him slyly from beneath your lashes.

"Yeah, and- and we can kiss." He nods, his cheeks flushing with something other than the cold, "That's good too."

You share a sappy laugh, but a grumble from Toothless has Hiccup craning over your shoulder to shout down at him.

"Relax! I'm still in control." Hiccup swears, minutely flexing Toothless's false tail fin, "Just- give us a holler if we're headed for a sea stack, okay bud? I'm-" He glances down at your face, cheeks split with a giddy smile as his hand cups your face, "I'm not gonna be paying super close attention for a while."

Enjoy!

-XOXOX-

Hiccup has always despised the cold. She’s done so for as long as she can remember. Perhaps, that has something to do with just how cold she always is. Her father, her peers, everyone in the village can walk around sleeveless in the barbaric north, but not Hiccup. No, Hiccup needs sleeves and a fur vest. She needs some semblance of warmth wherever she goes.

So she never would’ve thought she would ever welcome the cold.

While her burns have somewhat healed by now, she’s still covered in bandages. Even so, Hiccup still wanders outside because she wanted to watch the first snow of the season. It falls down so softly, so beautifully. It’s nearly enough to distract her from the worsening burn in her lower back and legs. No matter how much they’ve been healing and scarring, her burns still scream in the cold.

Even so, she watches the snow.

Hiccup is crying before she realizes it, her pain growing worse. Toothless appears next to her and whines, he wonders if it’s such a good idea for his human to be out here and standing on her doorstep. Out of the two of them, he has healed from their battle the fastest.

“I’m okay, Bud,” Hiccup tells him, though she isn’t certain anymore if her legs can carry her inside anymore.

“Daughter,” a voice brings both of their gazes down the steps. Their home stands on the hill, where the stairs up to the Great Hall begins. Lower down the hill, Stoick stands and looks up to them.

Hiccup says nothing, worried what her father might say to see her out here. He constantly reminds her how it’s too soon for her to be outside. Though he can’t keep her in here for much longer, Snoggletog will be coming soon and she needs to celebrate it.

Stoick walks up the steps and stops before his daughter. He places his hands on her cheeks and the chill goes through her.

“Your hands are so cold,” Hiccup tells him, but she says it in a way that she almost appreciates it. It’s just distracting enough to get her attention away from her healing body.

Then they go away and her father stands at her other side to watch the first snowfall, too. There was once a chance, shortly after the Red Death, that she might’ve never seen another snowflake again. And so, they both take this moment to just watch them fall.

They watch until Hiccup trembles too much and a light dusting of white covers everything.

Unhooking his cloak, Stoick wraps it around his heir’s shoulders. It falls around her like a wave of warmth, enveloping her chilled body. Hiccup looks up to him.

“Come on, Hiccup, it’s time to go inside,” he tells her and she doesn’t fight him as her father picks her up and carries her healing body back inside.
