“I’ve been having these weird thoughts lately…like, is any of this real, or not?”

(Plus a bonus gif at the end)
First of all, I couldn't have made Jack look as gorgeous without @chuck-the-goon 's help. Thank you my guy!
Going to premise this by saying I have two different version/timelines, but the above image is regarding one in particular.
Berk is our Destiny island, with Hiccup as our 'Sora', the soon to be keyblade warrior. Until events play out, he's just one kid amongst a group living on the island, curious about the world beyond their shores.
Toothless is a dragon from another world that Hiccup visits during his journey, and who follows him afterwards (either because they bonded whilst saving his world, or because Toothless' hidden world was destroyed by the Heartless, and has no where else he'd rather be).
And Jack. Well. This is where my idea divides into two options/timelines.
Astrid becomes one of his closest friends, who he and Jack promised together to explore the outside world alongside as a trio.
Pitch is our Xehanort because he just won't Go Away for our poor protagonists.
1) Riku!Jack is Hiccup's childhood friend. His family (the Overlands) are farmers, and usually Jackson ("call me Jack") has to watch their sheep, but he does love to run and play made up games with Hiccup instead.
Hiccup and Jack promise to leave the island together one Summer, putting together a crazy plan to make their own raft, since they couldn't control a larger boat by themselves. Astrid overhears, and refusing to let her two (favourite) idiots do something stupid by themselves, informs she will come with them. And so, with wide grins , they plan.
Not much else to say for this au at this time, besides the fact that Jack goes through similar to what Riku does, whilst Hiccup chases after him.
Jack and Hiccup also make a promise on the star fruit, to always be together.
KH1!Hiccup (about Jack): He’s my best friend!
KH1!Jack (about Hiccup): We were friends, once…
2) Nobody!Jack is the nobody of a dead boy.
Hiccup comes across him in Traverse Town/Hawthorne and looks as though he's seen a ghost. But it can't be. His childhood friend, his best friend, is dead.
Jackson Overland drowned at sea, and Hiccup had not wanted to believe it until an item he gifted his best friend was found amongst the flotsam along Berk's shores. They were only children still, both 14 years old.
And yet here in a whole other world, a boy with his face, his laugh, his crooked smile, lives. His hair is white, his eyes are blue, he is older, but this cannot be anyone other than his Jack.
On Jack's end, he has a blurry memory of his past, but he's been in this town as long as he can remember. And then this weird (cute) guy shows up welding a keyblade, beating up strange creatures, and offering his hand to explore the worlds beyond his own.
He takes it.
Down the line, once Jack learns of his origins, of Jackson Overland, he can't help but wonder if his feelings towards Hiccup are a remnant of his originator's emotions. And if so, is there anything of Jack Frost's that is his alone?
(to add to the heart ache, Jackson Overland most definitely had a crush on Hiccup, but kept it quiet because he saw how his best friend looked at their mutual friend Astrid. This secret followed him to the grave, until Jack remembered him)
(Apologies for the low quality gif, Tumblr refused the cleaner version)
