"Where is Jack, Aster?" The King asked his advisor, who he'd found before he could find his son.

The blue crab looked up at North, giving a little bow. "He's in tha archives, sire. Been in there almost e'ery day since the battle."

North sighed. "He's been so different since he returned. I don't know what to say to him anymore." The sight of his son going through the days was breaking his heart. He always had a determined look on his face but was surrounded by an aura of melancholy. "He fell in love up there, Aster."

"Wh-wha?!" The crab dropped his work. "Ya mean he fell for a two-leg?"

The King nodded. "Now he searches for a way they can be together again."

"What'll ya do, my king?"

"I don't know."

Tooth swam eagerly up to Jack, nosing at his scrolls. "Jack! I have a message for you!"

"What is it, Tooth?" He looked up from his work.

"Your two-leg is waiting for you where he first saw you! He says he has to tell you something!"

"You mean the ice field he picked me up from? Why would he meet me there?" Jack's eyebrow was raised in confusion but he followed his friend anyway, leaving his research behind.

"He wouldn't say! He seems so excited, Jack! Oh, it's so romantic!"

He tried not to get too excited, but Jack couldn't stop the smile spreading on his face. As soon as he broke the surface, his eyes were searching for Hiccup.

"Jack!" Hiccup waved his hand and rushed to the edge of the ice.

"Hiccup!" He swam closer and pulled himself up to press a kiss to the lips of the new chief. "I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too, cutie. I've missed you and your cute nose." Hiccup smiled and kissed Jack desperately.

"Tooth told me you have a message for me." His hands framed Hiccup's face, taking it all in again.

"I do. I've found a way for you to come home to me."

Jack looked at him in confusion. "How? I've found nothing in the archives yet."

"Sometimes I can be smarter than you," Hiccup teased, reaching into his pocket. "Look!" He pulled out a carved wooden pendant, the wood in the shape of two dragons intertwined. "I found some of the wood from your staff and I made you this. Now you can have your staff always!"

"I'm not sure about this, Hiccup." He stared at the pendant, too afraid to hope. "It is beautiful though."

"I'll believe enough for the both of us." Hiccup draped the necklace over Jack's head, letting the pendant rest on his chest. He watched hopefully and waited for his legs to appear. "Do you feel different?"

Jack's shoulders slumped when nothing happened. "Thank you for trying." He stroked Hiccup's cheek with a reassuring smile. "There's still places in the archive I haven't checked yet. Maybe I'll-" Blue eyes widened in shock when he felt a warm wave of magic wash over him. One moment he had a tail and the next he was struggling to stay afloat with legs. Jack clutched at the edge of the ice to stay afloat.

Hiccup reached down and pulled Jack into his arms, holding him close. "Did it work? Oh Jack, my love." He caught Jack's lips and kissed him.

"I-I don't know how. It wasn't working." When he pulled from the kiss for air, Jack turned to see the king watching them and started to cry. "Dad." He slid back into the water and struggled over to the merman, throwing his arms around him. "Thank you," he sobbed against his neck.

"I could not bear your sorrow any more." North held his son tightly. "You are happy here. You are happy with him." He set Jack back up onto the ice with Hiccup. "I see your chosen mate loves you as much as you him. Be sure to come visit once in awhile."

Hiccup bowed to the merman. "Your majesty." He met his eyes and took Jack's hand. "I promise to take care of him. He will never again cry as long as I live."

North waved him off. "No 'majesties' here. You are family now. I trust you will keep him safe, though my son has no need of protection," he added with a knowing smile before Jack could argue. "I will miss you, my little Frost." With a last kiss to the prince's forehead he disappeared again beneath the waves.

"I get to stay!" Jack launched himself at his rider in joy.

Hiccup laughed and held Jack close, covering his face in kisses. "Jack, Jack, my cutie."

"I love you, my stubborn viking. Or should I call you 'Chief' now?" He grinned down at Hiccup.

You may call me yours, my love. You are my 'mate' now, or my consort. Whatever the title, I'm yours and you are mine."

"Forever mine."

"And then they lived happily ever after on Berk. The end."

The young children of Berk watched Jack with fascination. "You had a tail? Can I ride Swiftide? I hate Pitch!" Voices called out all around, their questions and comments melding together.

"Alright, all of you to training practice." Hiccup stood with a hand on his hips, the other hand stroking his small beard. "Off with you now!" The children laughed and ran towards the stables, where the baby dragons were waiting.

Jack laughed as they all ran off. He moved to wind his arms around his lover. He admired the firm muscles the years had blessed Hiccup with. "Enough of the big, tough chief act. It's just us now."

Hiccup smiled and teasingly tugged one of the white streaks of hair mixed with Jack's brown. "Of course, my love. I could never be big and tough with you."

"You're lucky I've been here to put you in your place all these years. You would have been unbearable if I hadn't." Jack leaned away to free his hair, moving to lightly tug on Hiccup's beard in return.

"Undoubtedly," Hiccup whispered, clasping the back of Jack's head and pulling him in for a deep kiss. "I love you, Jack."

He smiled into their kiss. "I love you too. More than sea and sky."

Hiccup wrapped his arm around Jack's waist, walking with him towards the stable. They were happy, and Berk was made happy because of it. And, for many years after their deaths, the story of the viking chief and his merman prince would be told to the children of Berk.

The End.

Thank you to everyone who followed, liked, and/or reviewed this story. JarJar and I were so excited about the idea that I think we literally wrote the whole thing in less than a week. We are currently mulling over some new story ideas so there might be some more stories to come from us. If there's any ideas you guys have that you want to throw our way we'll happily take suggestions.

Also, for those who haven't read my author profile page, I put out a little notice for everyone. I seem to have lost the drive and brain power to finish many of my stories. But if there is anyone out there who wants to take pity on a poor author with writer's block and co-write endings to some of them I would not turn you away. These are my many failed stories I'd be willing to bring back from the grave:

1. Frozen (FrostBunny story)

2. Heart of Oz (Gelphie story)

3. More Important Than We Knew (RotG story)

4. One Sided (BlackIce story)

PM me if you're interested in helping me finish these by co-authoring/RP-ing with me.

See you guys next time!
