Try to speak with her, as Batman. I mean cattongue.

What I'm wondering is how long this shitty Batman act is going to continue. You dont like love triangles? Well I'm not a huge fan of hidden identities for the sake of forced drama.

This is it. This is the chapter that makes me sob every time I read it. Holy moly, the emotion that you’ve packed into this scene… beautiful. Just beautiful.

Three of the where there... I think a h in where shouldn't be there.

Gold, amazing fic. Hope you have a good one

I’ve read hundreds of books and fanfics, and I’ve been in this fandom since I was a kid, and as much as I live for a dark!Hiccup that’s more OC. This is the one that I believe most correspond with Hiccup’s personality and growth from the movies. And this is like my 7th re-reading this book so the author literally has done something phenomenal if she can make entertaining throughout all 7 times

This was a REALLY good chapter! I was really happy with how Astrid handled this. I kinda expected her to get all shield-maiden-y and abduct him like how she did with Thuggory as her way of confronting the issue, but she instead wears her hair down, dresses nice, and is gentle in her interactions with him. Which makes SENSE because she's trying to NOT drive him away from Berk for good and is trying to WOO him BACK to Berk. XD

That being said, a part of me WAS hoping that, for once, someone would take the helmet off, expecting it to be who they've been expecting, only to be a completely different person. Such as, Astrid taking off the helm, expecting it to be Hiccup, but having it ACTUALLY be Cattongue. lol XD

Also, I have never forgotten the part where Snotlout drags Astrid by the hair. Which is really stupid on his part. I hope that he changes later in the trilogy (I'm not sure since it's been a few years since I've last read this series). Buuuut this could've potentially ended his standing on Berk. Who knows?

Gothi, as usually, is helping Hiccup out by knocking sense into Stoick. And I'm glad that Stoick is finally realizing his faults in judgment concerning Cattongue and Astrid. And the moment between Stoick and Fireworm was great. Though I REALLY hope that Snotlout gets his head out of his butt and accepts Fireworm back, poor dragon. Ugh, this is painful. X(

The Hiccstrid moments, as always, are excellent! And it's GREAT to see Hiccup lose his patience and temper. A masterpiece. We need more angry Hiccup. Hiccup doesn't get angry enough in this franchise.

Also, I'm not sure if you've read it already, but I sent ya a PM asking permission to make some gift fics as well as use some elements from your trilogy for my own works, such as Toothless playing King's Table. XD

Hope to hear from you soon.

Great chapter!

Long Live the Night!

Being "chuffed" over Astrid's sudden realization is an understatement of the century! After all that talk about her suspicions over Cattongue being the one Hiccup spoke to in the cove, she takes one FUDGIN' look at the scales and realizes Cattongue IS Hiccup?! I mean... why wasn't her first thoughts that she was right that Cattongue WAS with Hiccup?! That she doesn't think that Cattongue was the one who had taken Hiccup off the island?! I mean... urgh! That really killed it. I was wanting to string her along for a few more chapters, at least. *Disappointed sobbing*

Concerning Stoick and Hiccup flashbacks, that was great, though, once again, shows that Stoick was a TERRIBLE parent. I don't care that parents aren't perfect, but they have NO excuse to NOT be parents. Stoick didn't even raise the boy; Gobber did; and the boy wasn't even properly FED! No wonder Hiccup's scrawny as a toothpick! X(

I was happy that Gothi was talking sense into Stoick. Somebody had to, otherwise I was going to worry that something bad would befall Hiccup. Though, if I was Hiccup, I'd just do my thing and help Berk, and then leave. Maybe with Astrid in-tow. But there's just some things that can't be mended, and some hurts that can never be healed. I would just LOVE to write or read a Hiccup Leaves Berk AU where Hiccup never returns home or remains on Berk after reuniting, and lives a life elsewhere where he can be properly appreciated. I might just do that. lol XD

Also, can I just say that I LOOOVE Astrid's mom! Your version of Astrid's mom is probably the best I've seen in this Fandom. So thank you! I love how she's wise but has a sense of humor and loves teasing her daughter. Seriously, most favorite character in this trilogy by far! XD

And dragon's teeth, will Fishlegs EVER tell Ruffnut what the baby's name is?! XD XD XD XD

Great chapter!

Please tell me Toothless knows the runes. I'd love to see Berk's best minds (minus Hiccup) trounced by a snickering dragon.

*recommend a hiccstrid story*
My brain: "Cowabunga it is then"

Tears! You have me in tears! Fantastic writing, looking forward to the rest of the story.

Damn, great story. I don't know why I haven't read it sooner, but it's really well imagined, written, and executed. This is the kind of story that inspires others like me to write! Thanks for writing!

Brunhilda: A young man with a nice ass?

Brunhilda: Your betrothed with a nice ass!'

Hiccup: get on toothless!
Toothless: * incoherent wheezing *
