"We should do this more often," Ruffnut said.
"Agreed." Astrid's eyes were closed as she enjoyed the secluded hot spring, but they blinked open as Ruff pulled her onto her lap and wrapped her arms around Astrid's waist.
"You know what I think we should do?" Ruffnut murmured, her fingers dancing on Astrid's thigh.
Astrid smiled. "I think I can guess."
"Are you saying I'm getting predictable? I need to step up my game." She slipped her fingers down, and Astrid bit her lip.
"Wait, I think I hear them," Hiccup said from a l

"Hey, you. Nadder-girl," someone said, and Astrid looked around curiously. Sure enough, there was the barmaid scowling at her, which was irritating on multiple levels, not the least of which was the fact that Astrid knew she knew their names perfectly well, she just refused to use them. Although to be fair, Ruff, Tuff, and Lout called her a wench all the time, and they were the ones who started bringing dragons into the bar, and it was usually someone from their group who had to be dragged out of the bar at the end of the night...

Tuffnut was sure he had woken up in a good mood that morning. He was in a good mood a lot recently, for one very specific reason. But being around Ruffnut had steadily wiped the smile from his face. Apparently being pissy was catching.
"Did you take care of the dragons today?" he asked as they wandered through the village. He didn't think she had any real destination in mind, but in a fit of brotherliness he had decided to go with her anyway. He was regretting that.
She just grunted at his question.
"You check out the herds at the arena yet?"
She grunted agai

Astrid shifted her weight slowly, taking every care to keep as silent as possible. Once in position, she raised her spear and took aim at the unsuspecting fox in front of her.
"You know what we should do?" Hiccup said.
The fox immediately fled, and Astrid sighed in exasperation. "Hiccup, you're the worst hunter ever."
"What, are we really hunting today? I thought we were just hanging out again."
"No, this trip was actually about food. Not that it's going that well."
"Aw, and here I thought we were bonding." He sniffled melodramatically. "You only want me fo

Gobber hummed cheerfully as he stumped through the village. His early morning fishing trip had been successful, the water cool and bracing, and it was shaping up to be a good day.
He glanced idly at the Chief's house as it came into view, then stopped and looked more closely. The door was opening, and he smiled and started towards it. Maybe he could convince Stoick to catch a bite to eat with him before the day got started.
But no, he saw, and stopped again. The figure slipping out of the Chief's house was slight, and blond, and female. Gobber smiled as Astrid

Toothless growled, Tuffnut swore, and Hiccup sighed.
A few seconds later there was a knock on the doorway to Hiccup's workshop. "Come in," he called with some trepidation.
The door creaked open and Tuffnut's head poked in, followed quickly by the rest of him. "Hey," he said.
"...Hey."
Tuff gestured vaguely towards the still open door. "I accidentally kicked your dragon."
"I'm sure he'll recover."
"Right, right." Tuff rocked on his heels. "So, what're you up to?"
"Eh, the usual," Hiccup said, motioning to the piles of plans and notes on his desk. "Obscure

Tuffnut, as he had been doing a lot these days, popped up out of seemingly nowhere. "Hey Hiccup," he said.
"Hey, Tuff," Hiccup replied, barely wincing at all.
Tuffnut leaned casually against a nearby wall. "So I was thinking of going fishing later. You should come."
"Should I?" Hiccup asked, looking at the shops around them for some kind of distraction.
"Yeah. It should be fun." Tuffnut's eyes briefly tracked up and down Hiccup's body. "Maybe we could go swimming."
Sweet Thor. "Um..."
"Hey guys!" Snotlout called as he walked up.
"Lout, hey! Hey man, wha

"Hiccup!"
Hiccup stiffened before he realized the voice calling his name wasn't the one he'd been bracing himself for all week, or even male, although it was familiar. He turned around and saw Astrid's mother bustling towards him.
"Hey, Mrs. Hofferson," he said somewhat weakly, more than a little surprised to see her, and realizing it was because although he and Astrid had been getting together on a fairly regular basis lately, he hadn't seen either of her parents in a while.
"Hello dearie," Mrs. Hofferson said with a familiar, affectionate smile. Slightly unnerv

Ruffnut sat alone in the clearing, occasionally poking the ground unhappily. That had been an unmitigated disaster. Although really, what was Astrid's problem anyway? Didn't Ruffnut perform in bed? Wasn't she as loyal to Astrid as she was to anyone, or even more so? Wouldn't she drop everything if she thought her friend needed her? Wasn't that enough? Why did the whole 'exclusive' thing have to enter into it all?
And she still didn't understand what Astrid was getting at, with the whole confession thing and breaking up with Hiccup. So she didn't like boys. T
Summary: Three years after the events of the movie, Astrid makes a choice.
Hiccup almost winced when he saw that Astrid was the only one standing at their meeting spot near the edge of the village. They had more or less been avoiding each other for the past week, and what encounters they had were stilted and awkward. He hadn't been able to bring himself to tell anyone about the whole breakup thing yet, and apparently she hadn't either, because no one was treating them any differently. And it wasn't exactly uncommon for Hiccup to spend a few days hiding from Astrid after some blowup or other. Still,
