A/N: Prompt for Day 6: favorite relationship. Set sometime after "Astrid's Team". I adore the bond Gustav and Fanghook have. I headcanon that because of that bond he takes his leadership of the A-Team seriously. (Sorry it's late, work went long.)
This Is My Dragon
"The A-Team's been missing you lately, Sven."
"Aye, Gustav, ye ken it's wool season, I'm mighty busy."
"For five weeks?! Have you been flying with Scorchfoot?"
"No' as if she cannae get aboot on 'er own."
"...That's not how being a rider works. When you bond with a dragon, they become family. If you're ignoring Scorchfoot over sheep, how can she trust you'll look after her when your lives are at stake? You are partners on and off the training grounds."

Later, as Gustav left a penitent Sven, he realized that Hiccup's gang hadn't taught him that lesson.
Fanghook had.
