Hiccstrid One Shots

Let Me Love You

This will switch between regular and modern AU

I used to believe
We were burnin' on the edge of somethin' beautiful
Somethin' beautiful

Hiccup and Astrid stood there at the edge of the volcano. Viggo was dead. Astrid was safe and unharmed. The dragon eye had burned. What was most important was that they had each other.

"Viggo... It didn't have to end this way." Hiccup stood up from the very edge of the volcano

"Are you okay?" Astrid walked up next to him

"Yeah. I'll be fine."

"It's finally over. It is over, right?"

"Yeah, of course. Definitely."

"I should have listened to you. You are our leader. Our relationship can't get in the way of that. It won't happen again."

"Just promise me you won't stop telling me what you're thinking. Astrid, I rely on you. It's what makes us, well, us. Deal?" Hiccup put out his hand

"Deal." Astrid grabbed it and pulled him in for a kiss, sealing the promise to always say what they are thinking

Selling a dream
Smoke and mirrors keep us waitin' on a miracle
On a miracle

"Guys, let me talk to her. Alone." Hiccup and Astrid were left on the clubhouse after Snotlout, Fishlegs and the twins left

"She can't see." Tuffnut whispered to Ruff while exiting

"What is happening to me?" Astrid sighed, referring to her blinded by lightning situation

"Whatever it is, I'm sure it's only temporary. You remember when Bucket lost his sight? He got it back."

"And now he wears a metal bucket on his head, permanently."

"True. Well, all I am saying is... Oh, Thor, what am I saying?"

"I know what you're trying to do. And I appreciate it. Really."

"Look. When there's a break in the storm we'll fly to Berk and see Gothi. She'll be able to help you. In the meantime, Astrid, you need rest."

Say, go through the darkest of days
Heaven's a heartbreak away

"It's not a game, Tuffnut. It's not a dream. It's not a way of life. It's reality. It actually happened. We trained the dragons, we left Berk, and my father is on his deathbed because of it, because of me. None of this would have happened and I mean none of it if I had never shot down Toothless in the first place. You know it. I know it. Berk knows it. Everyone knows it! Even he knows it." Hiccup snapped quicker than stepping on a branch

Hiccup exits the Great Hall and goes to sit down on the edge of a cliff

"I'm sorry, bud. I didn't mean it to come out that way. You know I'll never regret shooting you down, bud. Actually, that didn't come out right, either. Astrid, I-I need some time to think. I just want to be left alone." Hiccup sighed

"Just hear me out. You and Toothless came together for a very specific reason at a very specific time. If you hadn't shot him down, I mean, think about where you would be. Think about where we would all be." Astrid sat next to him

Never let you go, never let me down
Oh, it's been a hell of a ride

Astrid and Hiccup's life had been a wild one. They got married to start out the story, then, their daughter was diagnosed with cancer, she then died at the age of nine. They were miserable. Astrid joined the military, served her time, and then before you know it. The both of them shared their final kiss
