Hicc - welcome to my little den of depravity! I am very glad you enjoy! And yes, I highly recommend not reading incest smutfiction where other people can see you. Unless they like Valcup too... then it could be a reading group.

"This week, Hiccup and Valka have sex on *insert place of choice*"

Now I want a book club for Valcup!

Whew, it's been a rollercoaster of a week for me and Valcup. Uploaded a Valcup oneshot, filled a Hiccstrid request and realised how weird it was for me to write a straight up non-incest heterosexual fic.

Someone went to the trouble of flicking through like two thirds of this fic to tell me incest was bad (personally I think they liked it) and I will clarify for any concerned - I am not nor have I ever been sexually attracted to my own mother. I would rather put my genitals in a blender and set it to puree, the woman is... how can I explain it?

I would invite Drago Bludvist to a dragon party before I said more than "jump off a bridge" to her. The detachment is my strength in Valcup - I have no maternal carer, so I don't feel bad writing this because it stirs zero familial feelings.

Now I've rambled on... to the fic!

-HTTYD-

"Are you saying the Foreverwing is here? On Haddock island? Of course if that's true we may have accidentally renamed Foreverwing island. Hope he's ok with that."

Wildr held out his hand for his paper, scribbling down an answer to his father, painstakingly sweeping charcoal into every line and loop of the runes necessary.

"Where else would Livy belong, if not for the home of her dragon? And I checked, the dragons said the island was unnamed."

"Reassuring I suppose. We aren't sitting on top of the dragon now right? I would feel bad."

Wildr shook his head, reaching for his yak jerky and mug of water totally calmly. Livy babbled at him, like a gentler version of a baby Thunderdrum that was thankfully far less traumatic on the ears. Wildr grunted in return, winning a smile from his little sister and Hiccup supposed they would never truly understand the bond between those two, dragons in human skin.

"We don't know where to look, I mean... this island has a dozen mountain ranges and most of them are covered in trees. Can you two narrow it down? And promise it won't be dangerous? Livy is so small."

Wildr started writing, then stopped and reached for the knife next to the fire. Hiccup panicked for no real concrete reason, then relaxed when he saw Wildr sharpening his charcoal stick.

"He's not ready to wake up yet, Livy just wants to know where he is."

"I guess that's ok."

"And when we get back, Toothless wants you to give Midnight a checkup. It's almost time, but they want to be sure."

Hiccup looked over at the Night Furies, Toothless nudging a fish over to Midnight with his muzzle and she smiled before picking it up. When he realised his rider was looking at him, Toothless somehow knew why and ducked his head shyly, but Hiccup could see him smiling.

"No problem. Odin, this island is going to get noisy if that's the case."

"If what is son?"

Hiccup turned to their mother, who had been patiently watching the exchange until now.

"According to our dragon boy here, it's almost mating season."

Almost instantly, Valka's eyes made it to the Night Furies too, smiling softly to herself and Hiccup felt his heart skip a little.

"I see. Well, our little ones have never had trouble sleeping through anything, so I'm sure it will be fine."

Wildr handed across another note, one that made both his parents splutter and laugh at the same time, cheeks burning.

"The dragons also said since they have to listen to you all year round, you adults aren't allowed to complain."

"Oh my gods. That's awful!"

The severity of his comment was offset by his poorly disguised laughter, watching Valka bury her face in her hands though she too, was fighting laughter.

"I suppose we sort of deserved that."

"I would say we earned it."

Wildr rolled his eyes, tottering off to play fetch with Stormfly and leaving his parents blushing and snickering. Indulging in kissing his mother first - if the dragons were judging them, Hiccup would give them something to complain about - and feeling the familiar warmth coil around his belly, they shared a smile before Hiccup stood, stretching his leg. His stump was aching again, protesting how much time he spent wearing the prosthetic.

He didn't know why, but Hiccup felt self conscious not wearing it in front of his mother. He didn't want to see sadness or even worse, pity in her eyes when she saw the scarred, sometimes reddened and irritated stump there.

"I guess we better get ready for a day out. Wildr, are we walking or flying?"

Halfway to throwing a stick for the Nadder to chase, Wildr turned back to Hiccup and tapped his chin before looking up around the sky, then back.

"Walk."

Great. Hiccup loved exploring their home, it was a beautiful island packed with a diverse range of dragons, but his leg was not happy with the thought of walking a lot today. He looked at Livy, mass of autumn curls down to her ears and her mothers big green doe eyes, then thought of how Wildr said she wanted to know where her dragon was, even though he wasn't ready to wake yet.

It was worth it. His leg would be fine, just sore. He could always soak it in hot water and use a soothing balm after his bath that evening.

"Ok, so... food, water, clean diapers and some bandages just in case anybody falls over. Knife, rope and a blanket to sit on. We are good to go... once everybody has their boots on."

Hiccup packed up the bag, placed it down next to where they were sitting near the firepit to put on his boot. Then came convincing Finn into his, difficult when the boy loved to run barefoot in the grass. Eventually convincing him with the promise of "s'ploring", Hiccup handed his latest creation to his mother.

"What's this?"

"A new sling. Totally hands free once on with the little head support, and I adjusted the straps so they are more comfortable for you."

"Ahh, very good son. I'll not be a moment, just got to use the outhouse."

Hiccup nodded, watching Wildr pick up and carry Finn in a piggy-back style, winning giggles of glee from the boy. He placed Livy in his chest sling, knowing she was the more active and Rain more relaxed - Hiccup didn't have milk-swollen breasts to account for comfort with, so the placid girl was the obvious choice for Valka.

Toothless, Midnight, Cloudjumper and Beast all opted to come along for the exploration-reconnaissance trip, Stormfly currently otherwise engaged with her new 'friend', a male Nadder with some amazing purple markings. The Thunderdrum quad all settled down to nap around the Haddock homestead, Thornado happily purring when Hiccup knelt down to pat his snout.

"Hold down the fort, alright?"

"Hffff."

"I'll take that as a yes. Oh look Livy, mama is back."

Livy turned her head, beaming at the sight of Valka coming toward them, both Hiccup and the little girl getting soft kisses on their foreheads with a smile. Hiccup showed her how to fix up the new sling, brushing his hands against the sides of her breasts and watching the slightest flush stain her cheeks. Holding their daughters, it was horrendously inappropriate behaviour but gods, she looked so lovely today in her new soft, sea green tunic.

"Ready boys?"

Finn nodded, smiling from Wildr's back as he answered.

"Ready!"

Wildr simply nodded, smiling as his parents linked hands after Hiccup had slung their bag for the day on his back, somehow getting Toothless to lift both he and Finn up onto the back of Beast.

"This way."

They walked for a couple of hours through the thickly wooded stretch next to their little homestead, Beast's tolerance for being out of the water obviously growing as he showed no discomfort even when the sun came out. They stopped to eat yak butter on bread as a snack while the girls were nursed, which was a blissful break for Hiccup's throbbing stump but then they would carry on.

"Not that I'm not loving this walk, I really am, but if it's not that close why didn't we fly? "

Wildr crammed the last of his bread in his mouth, dug in Toothless' saddlebag for another piece of boar for Beast and then wiped his hands down his fur vest before pulling out parchment and charcoal.

"Foreverwing is of the Earth, this is the only way to find him."

"Well, ok then. Everyone good to go?"

Sounds and roars of agreement were his answer, and Hiccup felt a warm glow as his mothers hand slid back into his own. She was so tactile and sensual in everything she did, Hiccup felt privileged to know a sliver of it, let alone the open, unrestricted, unrestrained experience he had of Valka. Her smiles alone were a unique experience, genuine and painfully sweet as they stretched beneath those cheekbones, the ones Hiccup had been enchanted by almost the second he saw her.

The sun was higher in the sky, a little sweat dampening his tunic and Livy was getting more animated while Rain and Finn had both fallen asleep, when Wildr held up his hand and the dragons all stopped, turning toward a point up the nearest mountain range.

"Is that a dragon?"

It was huge, not the behemoth-size of a Bewilderbeast or Foreverwing, but the deep navy dragon with electric-blue points all over their scales made Cloudjumper look average. The shape of its head was familiar...

"Oh my Odin, it's a Titan Skrill! So beautiful, those colours."

"Yeah, gorgeous so long as they aren't trying to barbecue you with lightning."

Valka turned back to Hiccup, giving him that look that said Hiccup was judging a species by one with a bad temper. He nodded to show he understood, changing his perspective to appreciate the dragons markings.

"He's... guarding."

"Guarding what Wildr?"

"Seedling dragons."

"So... are we getting close?"

Wildr nodded, indicating Finn to Hiccup so he scooped up the sleeping toddler awkwardly, letting Wildr hop off Beast's back, tipping his head back to call to the Skrill clearly watching them.

"Is that a good idea?"

Wildr didn't answer, face serene as could be when the Titan leapt from his perch, divebombing toward them at terrifying speeds before it suddenly proved capable of stopping on a yak. Up close it was even more impressive, wingspan absolutely incredible and the bright blue markings on said wings reminded Hiccup strongly of lightning bolts.

"Oh, you are magnificent. I hope we aren't intruding."

His mother was utterly smitten by the Skrill, who tipped his head to the side, considering their group and sniffing the mix of scents - dragon, human, human dragon. Plus - Alpha, perhaps twice over. He seemed to recognise what Wildr was, mouth opening and shrill shrieking sounds emanating. It stirred the sleeping infants, and what Hiccup presumed was a warning from Wildr actually quietened the Skrill.

"She's called... Static."

"Ok. Hi Static. I'm Hiccup."

"I'm Valka."

"And these are our kids, and our dragons. We mean no human or dragon any harm."

If he could, Hiccup would hold up his hands but with a half-asleep Finn and gurgling Livy between his shoulders, that was impossible. Static huffed, then turned back to Wildr and surveyed the dragons. He assumed Static was told what they were searching for, as her eyes slid back over to Livy, who roared happily and successfully finished the job of waking Finn and Rain.

Luckily, they were so distracted by the huge shiny Titan to cry at the indignity of it all.

Static ruffled her wings, eyed them one by one again before snorting and turning around, walking along the ground herself along the line between ground and the beginnings of a mountain. Finn, now awake enough to sit up, was securely placed on Toothless' saddle which he giggled happily about.

The mountain curved around at the bottom, leading to a valley between it and another and everything smelled amazing all of a sudden, like they crossed an invisible line into the scent of Valhalla. Looking around, Hiccup's eyes found flowers he had never seen before, brilliant colours and petals swaying despite the lack of breeze. A perfectly still river led along one side, little mountain streams winding their way up the opposite side.

It took Hiccup several minutes to realise what the movement really was, something very Changewing-esque about the way the dragons stood from amongst the flowers and stretched out their wings.

"Seedling dragons. Wow."

Their camouflage was Toothless-at-night levels of good, barely distinguishable until six came down and stood around them. Hiccup took in the lack of wings on these smaller dragons, then the sharp tail in warm, earthy shades of green and tipped by brown, their scales similar hues with splashes of colour to blend with the flowers.

"Are they-"

"Speed Stingers."

A roar turned them to their left, and Hiccup recognised the new three dragons much faster.

"Rumblehorns. Wow..."

"They must be part of the Foreverwing nest, Static guards them while they guard him. Keep this place in harmony until he's ready to awaken."

The Alpha Stinger - with his distinctive reddish-brown head fin - stepped closer, chittering at their dragons and the Rumblehorn seedlings to either side of them. Wildr joined in, chittering right back at the Alpha and pointing over at Livy, then himself and Beast, Hiccup and the Night Furies and then their mother and Cloudjumper.

Haddocks and their dragons.

All at once, the seedling dragons backed down visibly, the Alpha Stinger hopping forward and raising his head to sniff at Livy. Hiccup felt it was a true representation of his trust in dragons, in Wildr's words and in their safety that he didn't even tense, validated by Livy's tiny, chubby hand reaching out and patting the dragons muzzle.

"Well, that went well. Not even out of diapers and these guys are training dragons."

Valka smiled, smoothing a hand over Livy's wavy hair - much like Hiccup's had been as a babe apparently, though he had grown out of it.

"We are blessed with our little ones."

Apparently now welcome to move, Wildr and Beast led the way along the valley, the seedlings parting to let them pass through as they followed. Hiccup found himself looking around, searching for anything that resembled a dragon the size of a mountain, but he couldn't discern a thing out of place.

Naturally, his brilliant mother did though.

"Hiccup, look!"

She pointed up along the side of the largest, most luscious-vegetation-covered mountain around them. Hiccup squinted slightly, seeing what she was pointing at - two huge pools of water, not unusual in themselves as the whole island was covered in lakes and rivers, except that they were perfectly identical shapes, and the closer they got the more potent the sweet scents grew.

"Lets not climb that particular mountain. We might stand on a dragons face."

Hiccup let Wildr grab his hand, leading him - and by extension, Livy - closer still, the little girls huge eyes taking in the formation that even now, Hiccup could not discern as anything like a dragon. Her little arms stretched out, trying to touch it and Hiccup, feeling a little silly and awkward, managed to lean forward so she could reach.

As soon as her hand touched the gnarled wood of what Hiccup would call a tree root, Livy let out a happy sound, leant back and cooed before settling completely. Wildr nodded up at them, then pointed back the way they came.

"Are we going home?" Nod. "Can we fly?" Shake.

"Not yet. Only... Static flies here."

"That's totally understandable. So, shall we go and let these seedlings get back to what they were doing here now Livy is happy?"

Leg now persistently pulsing painfully, Hiccup fought not to grimace or limp as they headed back out of the valley, saying goodbyes to the dragons there until Static was leading them back, jumping back up to the perch she had before.

"Are you alright son?"

"I'm fine mom, just want to get to a spot we can fly before the dragons get antsy."

By the time they had successfully flown back - in only twenty minutes rather than the six hours it had taken them to walk there - Hiccup's leg was killing him, he could feel it was swelling up and he wasn't sure if it needed ice or hot water or just chopping off completely at that point, stumbling slightly as he dismounted Midnight. His mother didn't miss his stifled whimper, but his face begged her not to say anything.

"Ok, Wildr can you help Finn change into clean stuff? We got filthy on our trip today. I'm going to get started on dinner."

Wildr nodded, reappearing a moment later to put both their tunics in the laundry bucket. The dragons all sniffed at it, then the ones Hiccup and Valka still had on. Finn was redress, wearing only diaper and shorts as he plopped down into the playpen, remarkably relaxed.

"What is it about this smell?"

"I think it's the Foreverwing. It must emit a pheromone, like a queen bee, to calm the dragons around him in order to keep order while he sleeps. That explains why everyone is feeling quite so relaxed."

"Oh, cool."

Hiccup pulled everything he needed close to the firepit, all the better to stay immobile now their girls were in their seats, their boys sat quietly playing and he had no desire to move until his leg stopped hurting so much.

"You can take it off son. It's fine."

"I'm fine mom."

"Hiccup, please don't lie to me. I know when you're hurting."

She shuffled closer, hand creeping toward where his leggings ended and metal leg began. He was torn between moving and freezing completely, wanting not to be so pathetic but also not wanting her to pity him.

"Please?"

Hands occupied with the food he was preparing, Hiccup wavered, mentally debated and eventually nodded, heart pounding as slender fingers detached his leg rather efficiently for a novice, biting back a cry of pain as the movement jarred his sore limb.

"I'm just going to get warm water and balm for it, alright?"

Hiccup nodded, watching her go in a little awe - there was no revulsion or disgust, just tenderness and love and care and Hiccup felt guilty for forgetting just how amazing and surprising the woman he loved was.

She sat back a few minutes later, pushing his legging up higher with measured gentleness, soaking a cloth in warm water before laying it over the scarred, angry-looking stump. Hiccup gasped as it stung before working to ease the tension, eyes fixed on his mother as she rubbed gently over the cloth, working the heat into his sore skin.

"Is that alright?"

"Mhmm. Always stings before it gets better... you can keep going. If you want."

He didn't want her to , but now he knew how it felt to have her wondrous slim hands working the injury site, Hiccup was already beginning to relax. More warm water, gentle massage, warmth and love evident in her every touch... Hiccup had wasted so long being afraid of letting her see it for no reason.

The balm, crushed herbs and menthol and tingly feeling, was next, Valka's touch working it in to the whole area until the pain was almost gone, leaving Hiccup smiling as she wrapped a loose bandage around it to keep the balm on and dirty ground off.

"Is that better?"

"Amazing. Thanks mom."

"It's my pleasure son. Never, ever be afraid of showing yourself to me. Alright?"

"I'll do my best."

"I know son. Careful, the pot is bubbling."

And just like that, Hiccup felt his last reservation about his body in her eyes fade away, leaving only a warmth of contentment in it's place.

-HTTYD-

Yay for the Foreverwing chapter! And no smut - I can normally write Valcup in my sleep but I had zero sexy thoughts today so it'll have to wait! I did do a little fluff at the end. If you squint.
