Alright so basically with Bonding being more than halfway done (maybe more by the time I posted this, who knows?) I figured I will lump together the potential ideas for future Hiccup/Valka stories and see if anybody jumps up and says oooh ooh ooooh do that one. Will possibly be written in author downtime style where trying to make perfect sense outside of constructive writing (and sometimes during) is impossible.

-HTTYD-

Better Late Than Never

Hiccup's just turned fifteen, and Valka takes one risky trip to Berk, hoping to catch a glimpse of her son before he becomes a dragon slayer like his father. As dusk falls, she slips through the woods toward the village. Instead, she finds a boy in a cove befriending an injured Night Fury. The two stare at each other - he at a masked stranger, her at this scrawny, almost sickly boy. When she sees the scar on his chin, she offers him the chance to see a better way. Knowing he can't be a Viking if he can't kill a dragon, Hiccup goes with her.

/ alternatively she's flying past on some kind of masochistic yearly tradition and sees someone falling out of the sky with a dragon close by instead of the forest bit.

/ other alternative is she finds him preparing to leave and kidnaps him. Maybe even before Astrid's very eyes and it's very dramatic?

Ought To Know Better

When Cloudjumper takes Valka, she's got Hiccup (overdone yep I know) and raises him in the sanctuary. Never knowing more than her, Hiccup doesn't know it's wrong when he's becoming a man and Valka finds herself terribly attracted to her boy. She knows better... he doesn't.

Stolen Moments

Valka recognises him in HTTYD2, but doesn't reveal who she is. For any of a hundred reasons, they aren't found and all Hiccup knows is this woman knows dragons, and then she seems to be coming on to him and it's sort of appealing. (Hiccstrid fans should have averted their eyes long ago) Valka never says a word as she knowingly has sex with unknowing son.

(I think I secretly have this headcanon that Valka misses sex and intimacy and her son and it all mixes into one at some point)

Everybody Lives

and that makes it harder, their lingering glances and heavy feelings slowly crushing what should be a happy time where Stoick has his wife back and Hiccup has his parents together. And yet every time they are alone together, Hiccup and Valka can't meet the others eye, because their afraid they'll find a mirror of their feelings and cave in. Everybody lived, and yet the twisted want is killing them both. (post HTTYD2 where Stoick wasn't barbecued)

Dragon Riders Unite

Hiccup leaves instead of killing the Monstrous Nightmare (yep done to death I know this too but nobody else is writing Valcup and I accidentally made myself ship it with Bonding) and goes exploring the world. Comes across the Dragon Trappers after a couple of years and starts to try and thwart them wherever possible. Sometimes he finds he's too late, and there's ice and big footprints and really, really mad Trappers. Eventually he gets to one in time to see the Rider and the Alpha, they join up and Valka doesn't recognise him for his scar, he doesn't recognise her either and so on (I have no idea where that story would need to go for them to find out these are early formation ideas).

So they are all I have so far... open to other ideas!

My inbox is available if you have questions or want to discuss an idea or just want to request something anonymously so yeah message me

Preferably (if anyone even ever reads this and decides to answer) pick one.

Alternatively number them in order of preference?

I don't know I'm just rambling now back to writing Bonding.
