"This... is me?" Jack interrupted, the strangeness of his tone making Hiccup's words falter. Hiccup looked at Jack properly for the first time, eyes widening at the... almost fragile look on Jack's face. "You drew me?"

Well... this ought to have been expected.
I LOVE TROAS, its the first Hijack fic I've read and the one that made me INSANE about these two. So, in honor of its sequel, "Home is Where the Heart is", getting updated today (still freaking out about that), I thought I'd illustrate one of my FAVORITE moments in TROAS.
Hiccup not only making art of Jack but also gifting it to him, once he saw how special it was to Jack, just... hits. As an artist, my art is my way of connecting with the world, with the people around me. I believe one of the most beautiful things we can ever do as creators is show and gift someone anything we created. Its so incredibly human, so incredibly loving, in ways I can't put into words. Which is why this scene is so important to me, even if it doesnt seem that deep. Ugh, I love Hijack. They're so precious. Thank you Em for writing such a beautiful fic, your work is amazing 🥹
Forgive my yapping and enjoy reading TROAS again (which you WILL DO this is a THREAT /silly <3)
Heather gave Jack a sly grin. "Anyone tell you that you're quite the charmer, Jack?"
To her surprise, Jack gave a disbelieving snort. "Usually when I'm failing to convince someone of something."

I realised that he still wore his armour once i halfway finish drawing him... For the sake of this drawing let's pretend he changed it 😭🙏ghhh I'm so bad at interprenting scenes lol (he's also hurt here but idk if he has bruises on his face or not)
I just loovvvee their interactions!! Ever since this fic introduced me to them i couldn't stop thinking abt itt, especially how similar they are!! I love their frienship it reminds me of hiccup and astrid/p (cuz this is a hijack fic) and i never see anyone draw them so i thought why not?
Here's the long awaited Chapter 22 of The Ripple of A Snowflake! ❄️
For those interested, the summary is:
Trapped in another world by Pitch, Jack is near death from being cut off from MiM's powers until he is saved by a Bewilderbeast. This makes Jack mortal by day and immortal by night, but it's only a matter of time before his time runs out.
With the aid of a Light Fury and a vigilante named Valka, Jack helps rescue dragons while searching for Pitch and a way back home.
At no point was meeting a Dragon Rider named Hiccup part of his plan.
(Neither was falling in love with him.)

Why do all the great hijack fics all have an ‘a’ and an ‘o’ in the abbreviation… like we got OtNWaS, TRoaS, TLoA, TFoA… and umm Translations (im counting this), ((Maces and Talons))?? im sensing a pattern here
Edit: just started reading Soul of a Druid lmao, the list keeps on going
(I just realised both jack and hiccup also have an ‘a’ and an ‘o’ in their names….! Hmmmmm coincidence i think not????) (This conspiracy theory goes crazy)
