Astrid and Hiccup's "romantic flight" comes to an abrupt end when the Red Death follows them out of the nest. Following an unexpected and desperate fight, Astrid finds herself stranded on an island, injured, with a crippled and comatose Hooligan heir and his overprotective Night Fury. She's going to get them home—all three of them—or die trying.

Toothless uses a little-known dragon ability to alter the outcome of the romantic flight... and the very nature of his passengers. Rated T for subject matter; the language is all K. Dragon!Hiccup, dragon!Astrid, some Hiccstrid, no slash. This story got its one millionth view on July 7, 2018 - thank you!
