Hey guys! So I kinda just disappeared for a while there... Whatever, I'm here now, and that's all that matters!
Updates will be sporadic from now on. Maybe I'll have two updates one week. Maybe you won't hear from me for a month or two. Just a heads up.

Dear Astrid,
I saw you by the docks today. I told my mom I thought you were really pretty. My mom told me to go talk to you, but I was too scared. Maybe someday.

Dear Astrid,
I had a nice time today. Playing with my toys while our moms talked was really fun. I hope I get to play with you again soon. Maybe next time we could play with your toys!
-Hiccup
Dear Astrid,
Wow, I can't believe it. I actually held your hand. It was only for a few seconds, but it was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my whole life! We should watch our dads spar more often.
-Hiccup
Dear Astrid,
I lost my mother last night. She... She died saving me. If I had done what I was told and hid in the caves with the other kids, she might be alive right now. Why did I try to help? I'm so stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. I need a friend right now. I need a shoulder to cry on.
-Hiccup
Dear Astrid,
We haven't really talked in awhile, why? I miss the days when we played with each other every day. Now, I'm lucky just to get a glance from you.
What changed? Is it because I'm the village screw up now? I guess I can understand that. You're one of the best fighters of our generation. Associating yourself with me would look bad for you.
I guess I gotta just keep my mind occupied with my drawings and inventions.
-Hiccup
P.S. I don't have any sketches of you in my notebook which is hidden under a loose floorboard under my bed.
Dear Astrid,
I shot a Night Fury! It's just that, no one believed me. Not Gobber, not my dad, not even you.
Tomorrow morning I'm going to go search for it and show the village I'm not a total screw up.
-Hiccup
Dear Astrid,
So I did shoot a Night Fury down! But I did cripple its ability to fly...
I named him Toothless and he loves raw fish. When I sketched him on the ground using a stick he broke a branch off a tree and started drawing random lines in the dirt. It was amazing and one of the most beautiful things I ever saw, even though I had no idea what it was. Not nearly as beautiful as you though.
I'm going to try to make an artificial tail fin to make up for the one I took away. Since I took him out of the sky, I should be the one to put him back in it.
-Hiccup
Dear Astrid,
Wow. A queen dragon that eats other dragons. That's just... inexplicable. I don't know how to tell the village without losing Toothless. I can't lose him. He was my first friend in years.
Nevertheless, our flight among the clouds was amazing. I don't think I'll ever forget your scream in my ear or your bone crushing hold on my torso. And the kiss wasn't too shabby either.
-Hiccup
Dear Astrid,
This is it. This is how it ends. We're going to ride off into battle and save the village and hopefully be remembered as heroes who lived to ripe old ages.
I just want you to know one thing Astrid Hofferson, through all the years of knowing you, one thing has remained constant; I love you Astrid.
-Hiccup
Astrid glanced up from the letters in her hands to the sleeping form of Hiccup. She had found the letters buried under shirts at the bottom of a drawer when she went up to his room to retrieve fresh clothes for him.
After all these years, he still felt the same about her.
She got on her knees next to Hiccup and grabbed a hand. She prayed. She prayed for him to have a full recovery.
She prayed for a chance to tell him she felt the same way about him.
So how did you guys like that? I hope you liked it.
