Author has written 3 stories for How to Train Your Dragon.

Greetings, wanderer of profiles. I will infer you are here to learn about me and/or my story, so I will categorise as such. You could also be here to check out my favourites, of course, in which case please do go ahead.

A Gift of Wings
After realising how terrible The Hidden World Was, I fell back on fanfiction and tripped over the dragon Hiccup genre. But there were a lot of gaps in it I wanted to see filled.

For one, it took me several tries to get into it. We usually start with a magical encounter that I always felt uncomfortable when wedged into the canon universe, and though I've become used to it I was tempted for something that hooked the reader before presenting the idea. At that, my definition of magic is "something I can't be bothered trying to understand". Sufficiently advanced science and all that. Could this genre work without an 'alakazam'? I pondered this until I had an answer.

Hiccup always tells Stoick, Astrid, and Gobber, and often everyone else as well. I wondered what would happen if he didn't. He also nearly always rejects the change, persistently, for the majority of the fic, and often changes back by the end. I wanted a dragon Hiccup who worked to build a foundation of identity early in the story, addressing it quickly but giving it its due.

When I put these points together, I discovered an original plot. To fill the gaps I borrow from the movies, series, and books, but I tell it my way, with a focus on dragons and a healthy grounding in realism. It's come out really well, I'm stoked to be telling this story and for everyone who's read and reviewed, it's been an absolute blast.

Please do leave any feedback you have, particularly if it is constructive, either by PM or review. I'm not going to accept it blindly of course, but I know I still have a lot of room to improve, and want this to be the best story it can be.

As for where I'll go after? There will be... a sort of side story, to delve deep into the lore of the world, followed by a sequel of sorts to see where things have ended up and tie up a specific loose end.

About Me
I am an analyst by nature, I like numbers and logic. Technically I work in IT software support, but am practicing data analysis.

Honestly, I don't really understand people, not like most other people do. Part of coming here and then starting A Gift of Wings was to help deal with my acceptance of this, and it has even helped me understand myself. I have been told many times I write people in character very well, and that is because I observe, empathise, and analyse until I understand what comes naturally for others, which gives me a far more conscious and complete model of the person or type with which to work from.

However, my system is not perfect, not for reality. I am blunt and speak my mind, which often doesn't work too well when I am also perceptive and critical, and when I see many things in totally different ways. I apologise if I have offended, and can guarantee there is a misunderstanding somewhere, so please be patient and just tell me what I'm doing wrong - no offence meant, none taken.

There is a name for this condition, and if you know it, good for you. However, at the start of all this I had the 'pleasure' of being around someone who used it as an excuse to say and do whatever they wanted, and I refuse to be like that. It is an explanation, one I have given, but it is not an excuse, and I will not use it as one.

Stumbling upon a witch deep in the woods, Hiccup is cursed with a fate any viking would consider worse than death. Trapped in the body of his former tribe's worst enemy, it will take all of his courage to make it out of this alive. A far less serious Dragon!Hiccup story

Living Vicariously by VigoGrimborne reviews
A small disturbance can cause an avalanche, metaphorically speaking. Small changes in how events play out, caused by little changes in how the world works can have a big impact on unexpected people. (Diehard fans of Astrid, consider yourselves warned. You might not like what is coming.) AU. Starts off like the first movie, veers massively away from the original by chapter 9.

Growls and Yells by VigoGrimborne reviews
Devastating Winter had arrived, and Hiccup was, of course, still in a coma. Gothi said he would wake eventually, which was a relief... but Stoick would much rather his son wake up now because the Night Fury was getting on his nerves. Badly.

Innocent Hopes, Twisted Realities by VigoGrimborne reviews
A near brush with death gave Hiccup a prosthetic leg and an overprotective friend. But Toothless's paranoia is abruptly both magnified and rendered insignificant by the horrific results of a quick vacation. Fear and paranoia are suddenly very justifiable, very necessary things. The world is old, and not everything buried in the past is harmless. Some psychological horror.

One team of scientists tasked with preserving intelligent life on Earth has a very unorthodox plan for doing that, but they're stuck. A seemingly unrelated discovery proves to be the final piece of the puzzle. Rated for light swearing, subject matter, rare violence.

Namesake by VigoGrimborne reviews

Henbane by Kakawot reviews
Hiccup misses his thumbs. It's what happens when he angers a witch and she swaps his mind with Toothless' every week. Learning how to fly is hard as a human, let alone as a dragon. And to top it all off he's only got 44 days before the curse melds their minds into one.

Of the Night by mathmonkey167 reviews
Yet even as he carried the humans in a roundabout way back to the village, something had wormed its way into the back of the dragon's mind, and though Toothless ruthlessly suppressed it, the feeling had made itself clear. Loneliness.
