AU idea that came to me due to a headache #1: Halucinor AU
Hiccup was knocked out by the Monstrous Nightmare in the beginning of HTTYD 1. HTTYD 1, 2 and 3 are all just him having lucid dreams.
(HTTYD 3 is also more fantasy-esque than the rest because Gothi gave him stronger meds while he was in his coma.)
To Hiccup, he suddenly passed out during a council meeting post HTTYD 3, due to overwork and stress, and wakes up to something oddly bright…is he dead?
Hiccup wakes up, truly, for the first time in two months.
It’s been two months after the dragon attacked him and caused burn scars across his leg, making it lame, as well as aches and pains in his shoulders.
He almost cries upon seeing his 15-year-old self in a mirror Gothi hands him, and she wordlessly pats his back.
His father gives him an earful about being more careful and banning him from leaving the house - not like he could go anywhere else with his injuries - before needing to rush off because of a raid.
Of course, Hiccup being Hiccup, tries to tame a dragon - to realise that no, it was just the dragons in his dreams being different. The ones out here…they’re more violent. Intelligent still, but clearly more primal and interested in animalistic things over kinship. They cannot be tamed. They can be reasoned with, but there is very little reason that will make them stop their carnage.
He stops after a Nadder spine from the dragon he’d called Stormfly in his dreams almost paralyses his arm permanently.
There probably still is the Queen, out there…but he doesn’t want to think about that. Not with the way his arms ache and he’s plagued by not being able to separate the dreams that plague him from reality.
and even far away from Berk, where other nests should be, the dragons remain hostile and suspicious, breaking any hope he had to end the war.
He’s awake, he’s 15, the dragons really DO just want to kill you, and everybody still hates him. Yay!
But his father is alive, and he’ll take any positives he can get.
It’s a wonder he’s not gone insane. Yet.
The gods are cruel indeed.
(Valka is actually dead. There is no hidden sanctuary, her dead body was found by Stoick next to Hiccup’s crib. At least, so Hiccup was told by Gobber - and the icy cavern truly doesn’t exist, but a trading island stands in its place. Hiccup decides he’ll pretend it’s just somewhere else - one of may little white lies to make life more bearable.)
Hiccup tries to cope. Heavy emphasis on tries.
It’s hard to come back to hell on Earth when you’ve been soaring in relative heaven.
Even more so when said heaven doesn’t exist except in your head.

I've got a pounding headache right now. It's probably because the weather is fluctuating a lot in my area, but I hate it! I hate headaches but I also have a history of getting the multiple times a month. Sometimes it feels like I can get them daily, which is probably bad. Point is: I've got a bad headache, and that's also probably why I think I'm writing even more rambly than usual.

((Bruh my heads been aching on and off for days. Too much ibuprofen later, and my headache comes back two days later.
It’s got my heart palpitating with anxiety thinking I’m just gonna explode and drop dead.
Breathe in, and out. Amirite? 😭🪦))
