Trying to make a dent in my threesome one shots pile...

Here we have... wait for it... canon!verse/RTTE!verse

Hiccstrid + Atali. Few years post HTTYD2

That's all you need to know... the rest will become clear I'm sure.

-HTTYD-

"Alright Erica, you can stop screaming now. Momma's home."

Hiccup sighed with relief when his wife walked through the door, meaning their wailing daughter could now receive nourishment from her mother's breast. Astrid immediately knew what was wrong, already removing her armour and top layer.

"Hey little one... I know, I know, daddy can't feed you. Here we go."

Successfully latched on, Erica finally quieted as she nursed. Hiccup carefully leant over, kissed Astrid in greeting and she smiled softly at him.

"Sorry I was gone so long."

"It's fine. You're back now."

Astrid nodded, shifting their daughter and cooing softly. Six months old, she had green eyes and a scruff of blonde hair with reddish-brown flecks. Absolutely Astrid's daughter, Erica curled her little fist up and thump it down on things if she was in a sulky mood. But she was also very much Hiccup's child too, and giggled and gurgled at dragons.

Almost as if called psychically, a Terrible Terror swooped in through the window, landed on Hiccup's shoulder and displayed that he came with letter.

"Oh hey, a T-mail."

Astrid shifted Erica slightly, peered over curiously.

"Who from?"

"Atali. She says... she needs my help with something personal, and wants to know if it's ok she comes to visit to talk about it."

"Huh. Wonder what it is. What are you writing back?"

"Nothing yet, this little guy needs a rest after flying from Wingmaiden Island. But I'm gonna write back saying she can come talk to us, obviously."

Astrid nodded.

"Good. Because I'm super curious and hoping it's nothing to worry about."

"Yeah. I mean if it was just a friend thing, she has the Wingmaidens. Or mom."

Discovering that Valka and Atali knew each other had been quite a strange experience. Hiccup couldn't believe that they had had only one degree of separation.

"Maybe that's why she wants to come here. So she can see your mom."

"Could be."

Hiccup wrote back the next day, after having let the little mail dragon rest and eat and hydrate. Then he went for a quick flight with his mother; Berk was thriving nicely and Astrid knew Hiccup appreciated the short time to just be a dragon rider again. So half an hour most mornings was spent on Night Fury and Stormcutter, mother and son tumbling through the air and racing up and down the cloud line.

"Ah, I love this. Don't you Toothless?"

"Roargh."

Valka laughed lightly at them, hand on her belly and Hiccup smiled at that familiar motion.

"Oh hey, Atali might be dropping by soon."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, she sent me a T-mail. Said she wants help with something... no clue what."

"I wonder. Shall we head back?"

"Probably a good idea. Come on bud."

Hiccup and his mother turned back to Berk, landing in the square and Hiccup got a loving embrace from Valka before she left him to chief while she headed off to the dragon nursery, where she spent a great deal of time. Hiccup supposed it was the closest she got to her old Dragon Sanctuary, which had teemed with baby dragons and juveniles abound.

"Hey babe. How was your morning flight?"

"It was very good milady, thank you for asking."

Watching Erica grow into a person was incredibly satisfying, developing her own little personality all the time. She liked to sleep and eat a lot, which often meant Valka referred to her granddaughter as practically a dragon hatchling. Erica adored her grandmother, and Hiccup occasionally felt sadness for her never meeting Stoick, but he knew the man was watching them from Valhalla and that he could see what a sweet grandbaby he had.

Atali swooped in, Razorwhip on her back acting as transport, about a week later, by which time Hiccup and Astrid had spent several days deciding they had no clue what Atali might want, and so simply agreed to wait for her to turn up. Their curiosities were definitely peaked by then, though.

"Valka!"

"Atali. Lovely to see you again."

"Likewise."

Hiccup let them chat, opting instead to meet the Razorwhip Atali had been wearing. He had pale purple eyes and a few golden scales, chittered sweetly and scampered around Alpha Toothless' paws excitedly.

"What a cute little guy."

Astrid commented, one hand petting baby dragon while the other held baby viking. Hiccup grinned at her multi-tasking.

"I know right?"

Glancing over to her mother-in-law, Astrid nodded to indicate their conversation was winding down before calling out.

"Hey Atali, what did you want to talk to Hiccup about?"

"Ah. Yes. This conversation may be better served in private?"

Frowning slightly, Hiccup stood and helped Astrid and their daughter up too, led Atali to their hut and left Hiccup's mother to entertain the little Razorwhip. He doubted that was a tough sell.

"Ok, so what's up Atali? Is everything ok?"

"Yes, yes. I have a request, which I will totally understand you refusing due to it's personal nature, but I find myself in need."

Sitting where he could take Erica to cuddle to give Astrid's arms a break, Hiccup cocked his head, curious.

"A need for what?"

Her eyes landed on Erica.

"A child. As you know, males do not integrate with our tribe permanently, and it is coming to the time where I and the other Maidens must begin having children in order to continue the tribe."

Hiccup had a slightly concerned notion he knew where this was going, but disbelief let him continue the conversation.

"And what does that have to do with Berk?"

Atali was clearly uncertain about what she was discussing, fiddling with her armguard nervously

"I did bring up my predicament to Mala, and she kindly offered to lend me her husband. Dagur was willing himself, but they already have two sons and obviously, Wingmaidens must be female."

Yep. This conversation was taking them down the dragon hole.

"Which means..."

"You have a daughter. Hiccup, would you consider fathering a child with me?"

-HTTYD-

I'm aware some folk may have strong feelings about this whole scenario, but it's gonna happen! I'm just giving y'all time to come around before I post the smut.
