Zephyr had no idea why her father suddenly sent her away from their family home in Beserk to attend some preppy boarding school on Berk. Whatever the reason, she is not amused, and neither is her brother. Sneaking after the headmaster to steal back her phone after a maths class might not have been her brightest idea, but how was she supposed to know what happened next wasn't being expelled...but finding out her dad was a spy?!

I bring you: AN UPDATE!

The plot thickens...and yes it’s a two-shot now.

[sorushing]

when the brain won’t let you focus on your one AU when you have time to draw and you end up drawing for two other AUs instead…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[sorushing]

Okay Okay Sorusing you've got me intrigued: What is FLY?!!!!

thanks for asking @sanfangirl !!! It’s my favorite things ever: superheroes, secret identities, and Hiccstrid. and modern AU, of course.

(So, FLY was the title I picked after seeing one of those motivational posts of it being an acronym for “first love yourself”. In the original iteration of this AU, it used to be more important, but the actually flying is also important lol. It’s not really that good of a title anymore but eh.)

—

This is my superhero AU (“really, not much to know” is actually the AU of this AU) in which Astrid is training to be a superhero sidekick at school. Her family name is disgraced, so she cannot become a “solo” hero without lots of extra work in college. She has extremely good control over her water powers.

in this universe, everyone born in “The Above” (artificial flying islands above th earhipelago after a war) is born with something called a “karyon”: a mark/bead on the neck that grants them powers by using a particle called dust.

I have an entire 10 minute explanation on dust that is plot-relevant but I’m skipping it right now for brevity’s sake

one day, she is confronted with an odd situation: a vigilante who’s powers don’t work how powers SHOULD work, fighting a new kind of villain that recently popped up. He doesn’t have a karyon, and neither do these new villains who seem to permanently be beserk and incapable of human speech or thought.

after this odd meeting, she wakes up in the middle of the night, outside her house, after having an odd dream, and her powers are…off. Instead of water manipulation, she can now fire off odd spikes…and why can she smell so well?!

—

She eventually discovers more about the situation: these new villains are people controlled by a villain that the vigilante - whom she’s dubbed “black” - calls “The Queen”, and are being hypnotised to do her bidding.

she eventually agrees to help him out, and joins him in his fight against her, since the heroes aren’t doing anything about the situation and she knows they won’t budge any time soon.

The vigilante calls himself “Night Fury” which as her laughing at first: him? Name himself after the unholy offspring of lightning and death that all of the Seven Families boasted to have survived encounters with?

But then she realised that his powers fit the creature to a T: the lightning. The super speed. She invisibility.

and then, more puzzle pieces click. She’s somehow gotten the powers of a Nadder. All of these new villains are dragon themed…so the Queen must have some obsession with the ancestral dragons.

things spiral from there.

—

on hiccup’s side of things, life isn’t looking great at all: the only person in the above who doesn’t have a karyon.

he has three and they all don’t work properly at all. They even cause him so much harm that he had to undergo surgery to get one removed.

His father is the shining beacon of his family, the leader of the Seven, superheroes of epic proportions who are gods among men, essentially.

his mother is Skullcrusher’s second in command who has control over the Alpha Matrix, a device that monitors all superpower usage. (And a certain kind of superhuman but shhh he doesn’t know that)

and then, there’s him, Hiccup. he’s just a screw-up. He is not worth of either family name and knows the other relatives in the council are dying to kick him out and leave him nameless. To make him a nobody.

So it doesn’t surprise him in the slightest when his father sends him to live with his aunt to avoid the media.

hiccup knows it’s to hide the fact that his son is weak, or that he even HAS a son, but alas.

-

when hiccup was young, a supervillain did something to his karyons. Hiccup knows better than to ask which villain.

For whenever he asks; his father or mother just shake their head or freeze, clearly not wanting to talk about it.

he knows his karyon was messed up by a villain, and someday? Someday he WILL find out which villain and give him a piece of his mind. —

things don’t exactly begin to look up once the dreams start.

dreams in which is body doesn’t ache whenever he gets into contract with high concentrations of dust.

Dreams in which he can freely leap across rooftops, dreams in which he is fighting villains effortlessly from afar with his lightning powers - well not completely effortlessly, but still!! - and shows great mastery over his lightning and super speed-

powers which he doesn’t have. At all.

or…does he?

things derail further once a certain blonde girl in blue begins to pop up in his dreams, stubborn, fierce, and…wait isn’t that his classmate?!

-

also another fun fact: Gothi is a tattooist in this AU.

—

eventually, the other dragon riders would show up…but I’m not that far yet.

———

this is my oldest au and the one that has been reworked the most.

anyways I think I should stop here before I type an entire essay. Thanks for asking :D

[sorushing]

Trick or treat?

treat!!!

ooh…

Have a snickers!

anddd…WIP snippet?

Modern/Superhero AU...the original AU of "Not much to know" (If you read it) featuring Merida and Hiccup. Mainly.

Merida, aka Whisp to the general public, isn’t exactly known to be good with children, if her temper or behaviours would indicate.

Most fans put her firmly in the “god, it’s dead” category on babysitter tierlists, but it’s not the full truth. If the child is smart enough not to be too clingy or get too close to her extensive weapon arsenale, she is a great babysitter, having three younger brothers who supply her with whatever new tech she needs whom she had to babysit herself. The DunBrochs are known for their great power gifted to them by the ancestors, and she knows not to flaunt it in public.

When Stoick asks her to take care of a child her found during a villain bust, she’s suspicious. Stoick isn’t the kind to take in children, especially not ones below an age in which they can knock out a villain in a single punch. “Artist is busy. And I’m NOT leaving my child with Pruina’s husband before he can talk and tell me everything or else he ends up spirited away to the North Pole or worse.” “Yours?” Is all she can say, jaw still not closed. Stoick sighs again. “Look, will you just watch him? Or should I find someone else?” The child is quite small, and there’s an oxygen tube attached to his nose. “Shouldn’t you leave him in medical care?” She asks. Upon further inspection, she sees extensive scarring, as well as several round incisions half-covered by bandages that the special sight the wisps gifted her unveil. “That’s not possible. Just take the boy, I will be back in an hour, he will be absolutely no trouble at all. Right, Hiccup?” It is more directed at the child, who nods, still clutching a tiny stuffed toy. He is pale, and has big green eyes. Stoick nods, and then walks off, ignoring Merida’s further protest as his pager goes off constantly and he yells something into it, before disappearing. “It’s ok. I can just wait here.” The child says, sitting on her doorstep, staring at nothing. He looks like he’s going to cry. “Um, kiddo? Would you like to come inside?” He stares at her. She motions to the open door. He shakes his head and fixes his backpack - where the oxygen tank probably is. The logo tells her Cloudjumper made it. Huh. So her colleague would know something? She tries again: “Little kids like you shouldn’t sit on doorsteps.” “Okay.” He responds flatly and finally follows her inside, before flipping down onto the floor, away from her fake bearskin on the floor which she kicks whenever Mor’du makes trouble in frustration, and the other expensive lounge chairs she’s bought to rest in between missions. “What’s your name, kiddo?” She asks. He just stares blankly. “Uncle calls me Hiccup.” Was Stoick his uncle? As if he read her mind, he shook his head. “Uncle is gone. Not him.” “Well, is there anything you want? Apple juice?” Her brothers had loved peaches, gobbling them up in fistfuls unless they were stopped. Maybe he’d like them too. “Would you like a peach?” She tries, again. He picks up the dragon and puts it on a chair. It’s scruffy, like the boy, one eye hanging on a single thread, and patches riddling it.

“Okay.” he says, and sits.

--

The child really is no trouble, quietly talking to his stuffed toy, not liking to be left alone. Despite her putting on cartoons in her living room, he’d somehow followed her to her training area, watching her shoot and practise her aim. His eyes try to follow the arrows. He doesn’t say much, but it’s clear he’s interested. “Would you like to try archery when you’re older?” She asks. He nods, eyes glittering. “I’ll talk to your…well, Stoick, and I’ll see what I can do.”

The child lights up with joy.

-- When Stoick is back, the child is asleep, and Stoick lifts the child with a gentleness that she didn’t know her colleague possessed. She’d overheard many people whisper how they feared he’d just accidentally squish his children with his powers, but it seemed he’d be alright. “Sorry about the haste earlier.” Stoick sighs. “This Case is much worse than any other I’ve been hired for. Thanks again for watching him.” “Who is he?” She asks when Stoick wants to leave.

and that's all I can post without adding too many spoilers, should I ever finish writing this lol.
