So you know that one scene form the first HTTYD movie where you first see Astrid and there's that explosion behind her and it's all very dramatic? And Hiccup looks suitably, ridiculously whipped?

............yeah. @chamiryokuroi and @that-one-girl-behind-you have positively destroyed me with "Like the moon" and I couldn't not.

[chamiryokuroi]

'how is there so much art for goncharov' you ask, as though you personally haven't cranked out some of the only crossover ship art for some of your ships.

I came out here to have a fun time and I honestly am feeling so attacked right now.

Ok but I might be thinking of drawing for TimEli so you’re not exactly wrong

Hi, yes. This may or may not be relevant to a mini-project I’m working on but. 

I just need to put out there that the idea of Varian having an accent (German, Southern, anything that you’d think really suit him but those two are probably going to be the main ones I stick him with xD) And Hiro (and Hiccup) just swooning over the way he speaks every time and literally just like, letting him go on one of his chemistry/alchemy rants PURELY to hear him speak makes me giggle

[harley-style]

Varian: My boyfriend is too tall for me to kiss on the lips. What should I do?

Annie: Punch him in the stomach. Then, when he doubles over in pain, kiss him.

Astrid: Tackle him.

Hans: Dump him.

Binh: Kick him in the shin.

Hiccup: NO TO ALL OF THOSE. JUST ASK ME TO LEAN DOWN.

(@chamiryokuroi @that-one-girl-behind-you thank you for this ship)

[that-one-girl-behind-you]

So, uh. That soulmate au you did for jgm? glorious. Can you do it for Variccup now? Pretty please?

Thank you! I actually already have Variccup soulmate!au that I bombed @chamiryokuroi with when we started shit posting about the two, as we frequently do, and she brought up video evidence that Hiccup sucks major ass at singing while Varian comes from literal Disney Land where feelings are expressed through song.

It's a spin-off of Like The Moon, with the premise "Soulmates!Au where you and your soulmate have the same song in your hearts"

First there's Varian, who people have theorized must be soulbond to a prince or princess, even a fairy or a mermaid, with the voice that springs from his lips whenever he sings.

Old Corona is rife with lovesick teens that have both fantasized and been disappointed at hearing Varian's song, and finding out it doesn't call to them asides from how much they wish it would.

Quirin always had a hard time deciding on whether or not to hire music tutors, because he's afraid if Varian becomes involved in music people will come from all over to hear him, and he'll for sure find his soulmate. He doesn't want to lose his only child so soon.

Annie hears Varian sing sometimes, when the breeze is cool and the sun is high and the ship is cutting across the sea. It reminds her of the love stories her tutors told her when she was a child -she's a bit relieved when she doesn't feel the need to sing back a song which lyrics she doesn't know, because she loves Varian but not like this-

Bìhn calls him 'Mìngquìn' at times, songbird. He keeps an eye on the people who pay his Captain too close an eye when they hear his voice. It wouldn't do for him to end up with someone that won't appreciate him as they ought to.

Hans wonders what it means when he settles with Hiccup. Maybe Varian made peace with never finding his song if it meant he could stay here, and as long as it makes him happy, he'll support it.

Varían himself never gave it much thought. Sure, he knew of the concept as a child, was interested even, but then his whole life went to hell.

It's hard to find your soulmate while traversing a blizzard with the thought of your father as your only fuel, while planning a full frontal attack on Corona, or when crammed in the dungeons.

Once he escapes and becomes the captain of his ship, he gives it a thought every now and then. He usually arrives to the conclusion that maybe it's better that he never finds his soulmate. They would only be one more thing to worry about, and he doesn't want the drag.

When they get to Berk and they're left out of prison, he hopes desperately that Hiccup isn't his soulmate, because he can't stand the thought of him being soulbound to someone like Varian.

He even hopes against hope that the concept doesn't exist among the Vikings, or that they don't give it the same importance, but that hope dies pretty quickly.

The Hooligans have a bonfire every other night after supper, with song and dance and games to bond with each other. Many of them find their soulmates early because of this, and have plenty of time to decide how they want to approach that bond.

One night during the bonfire Gobber brings out a fiddle. One of the twins has a flute, and Snotty gets her tiny, sticky hands on a tambourine. The rhythm begins to build, cheerful songs the pirates don't know but that bring a smile to their faces anyways.

"Come on Hiccup! Sing it!" Snoutloud cackles, hitting his cousin on the back.

"You just want to ridicule me," Hiccup rolls his eyes, face flushing.

"Well of course! It's the one thing I'm better at!"

Valka smiles, sitting next to her son. "I like it when you sing it. It reminds me of your father"

Hiccup groans, but it's pretty clear to everyone that he's given up. Stoick is Valka's triumphcard, and she plays it shamelessly.

"Ugh... Ok. I won't be made responsible for any destroyed eardrums," Hiccup says, and clears his throat.

Annie looks on, interested. She's never heard the Chief-

"I'll sWIm and sAil on SAVage sEAS, with NEER A fEAr of DROWning! And GLADly RIDe the wAveS oF LIFE, if YoU woULD MArry ME," comes the first discordant line, in a mockery of the tone set by the instruments. People begin roaring in good natured laughter, and Hiccup smiles as he 'sings', clearly embarrassed but willing to give his people a good time. "No SChorcHING SUN nor FReezINg cOLD will STOP ME ON MY JOOOURNEY" Hiccup elbows a laughing Gobber at this part.

Annie chuckles, and she turns to the side to tease Varian about his intended's voice, only to find him frozen in place, eyes almost glazed over. She frowns, worried, and reaches for him.

"If YOU wILL prOMISe me your HAND-" Hiccup meanwhile, continues destroying the song.

He bats her hand away softly, almost as an afterthought, and opens his mouth.

When Varian's crystalline clear voice breaks out from his parted lips, it cuts right through every other sound, and everything stops; the instruments, the laughter, and Hiccup mangling the same sentence in what he passes as singing.

"And love me for eternity..."

Finished surprise Variccup commission for @horrendoushaddock! Decided to go with Hic’s lighthouse AU for this, and I’ve gotta say it turned out pretty cute.

I hope you like it! ♥
