It is 2025, I remember reading this fic as it came out. Now the live action was just released so I have decided to start over again. I just want to say this is one of my favorite fics of all time. It makes me so happy to see it still up.

God almighty, this hit HARD—“Your mistakes just look bigger, because to someone very small, you're the whole world.” Both my own parents and as a parent—all of my hopes for my successes, and fears of my failures, microcosm-ed into a single sentence. Absolutely brilliant and shattering, all in one.

The cattongue persona is what i expect from runaway fics because hiccup is just that "a soft man roughed up the the world"

Right. I'm sick and tired if this drama queef bullshit. Well written but too goddamn annoying to read.

Brunhilda is giving her daughter terrible advise, which is to cheat on her fiance and lie about it. She should instead be advising Astrid that, if she did not want to stay faithful, to be honest and back out of the arrangement the right way before she gets locked into a marriage. She should not sleep around on her fiance just because she found a man she liked.

Imagine if you had a fiance and then years later you find that they cheated on you while you were engaged. You even have kids with them. That would be crushing and demoralizing. Not only that, but that your fiance's mother encouraged them to do it, helped them, and even told them to lie about it. Wow! And what kind of stupid thinking is she having about her daughter not being black and white like her father? She SHOULD be black and white about cheating!

This is one of the most horrible things a man or woman could do to their wife or husband to be.

Someone should check Brunhilda's children to see if they all belong to her husband. She's quick to jump to cheating.

It's becoming more amazing chapter by chapter

stupid fanfiction doesn't allow emojis or deleting reviews, so ignore my other ones. I just wanted to say I enjoyed this story

I’ve not read the sequel yet so posting on this chapter is purely “proof” that I’ve finally finished reading this story and can move onto the next be it I can handle the emotions in it. I’ll be reading that one a bit later (pfft a bit) because I can tell I need a break to actually process the story before reading another or the sequel

Just came back to say this was a god damn master piece

Wet stomach gunpowder wet gunpowder
Wet gunpowder ignition source no explosion

Ok I have to say itastrid” a stupid name? So a plant calls “god’s beauty” stupid? Oh dear

Oh come on another fanfic depicting astrid as overly cruel .. i heard only good about this one so i have high hopes that the development will satisfy me. My jaw simply dropped when the next part about stoik was added I was likehm this doesn’t quite feel like Astrid” but i understand her little “problem” i tend to say a lot of shi to during those days haha

I just wanna say that I'm sorry if my question about AO3 was pushy before. I have read in your notes that ppl demand stuff from you, and I wasn't thinking when I wrote that.
