Hello!
I was going to wait until after Halloween to post this, but with all the news of "How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming" going around, I figured I'd celebrate with an early Snoggletog One Shot!
*NO SPOILERS OF ANY KIND FOR THE NEW SHORT IN THIS ONE-SHOT, I PROMISE*
Can't wait until December 3rd!

*Chief Hiccup and Chieftess Astrid's first Snoggletog*
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and Astrid Haddock were married a mere 3 weeks ago as the annual holiday drew near.
The snow piled high on the new buildings and homes of New Berk. It littered the ground with such a gleam and sparkle that warmed the heart as it reflected the festive lights.
This however, was the first Snoggletog without the dragons.
Well, somewhat. The dragons migrated this time every year to have their offspring on a secluded island, far away from Berk.
Even though they didn't spend the major portions of the holiday with them, such as the feast and exchanging of Odin's goodies, there was still a void that loomed across the village.
But that was not stopping Hiccup from making sure New Berk has a great holiday in the spirit of their departed scaled friends. He carefully made his way up to the Great Hall where his people were already gathered for the biggest banquet of the year.
His eyes lie on the statue of his late father. Emotion tugs in his chest as he wishes his father could still be with him, teaching him all the chiefly things he had to learn on his own. Then down on the stone carving that pictured his first moment of bonding with the night fury. Hiccup slightly grinned at the fond memory.
"Happy Snoggletog, bud", he purses his lips in reverence.
He then continues up the stairs to where his new bride was standing by the large wooden door. His stomach then twists into anxious knots as he gazes upon her long blonde locks falling down her shoulders, on top of her white chieftess cape. The Deadly Nadder clasps shown brightly with the freshly fallen snow streaking its golden surface.
"Happy Snoggletog, Milady", he pulls her by the small of her waist. He plants an eager kiss on her cold mouth, feeling her smile beneath the sweet contact.
"How long have you been standing out here?", he asks after shivering from her icy lips.
"Quite a bit babe. You're late", she snickers with a wrinkling nose. Hiccup looks upon her more adoringly with her joyful expression.
"What?"
"Astrid you're just so beautiful. I am so thankful to have you as my wife this holiday", he holds her hands in his gently.
"As I am for you. I still can't believe it. Although, it has only been a few weeks", Astrid speaks with rosy cheeks, even in the frigid air.
"I know. A few of the best weeks of my life", he kisses her chilly nose.
"Oh my love, let's get inside before you freeze!", Hiccup hurries and pulls Astrid behind him.
"About time, knucklehead", Hiccup rolls his eyes at his wife's newfound nickname.
Suddenly their senses are filled with various smells of savory, sweet foods that lined the walls of the hall. Vikings all around with mugs of mead and smiles on their faces scattered across the room.
