Summary: Walter Works High School is a place where shifters of all races and secondary genders learn together. It's located right at the borders of two very small towns and due to their size, the small towns share the high school. Hiccup, a young alpha dragon-shifter, is the son of the Alpha of Berk, one of the two towns. He's well respected and well-liked by others. Everyone expects Hiccup to one day be mated to Burgess' heir Merida, the omega bear-shifter. Both teens have been fighting this tooth and nail for years now, being good friends but nothing more.

One day, Jack Overland moves to Burgess and the gorgeous omega instantly catches the interest of Hiccup. The problem is that Jack is from a part of the world where omegas are seen as the lowest and most worthless of shifters, so he has no idea how to handle his new surroundings – a community of mixed racial shifters that live peacefully and see omegas as precious.

The Shifters of Walter Works High

The Dragon and the Arctic Fox

Chapter 1: The Bear and the Bow

Hiro Hamada had only been three years old when his parents died. To be honest, he didn't even remember their faces, or what it felt like to be loved by them. When he told others this, they would feel sad on his behalf, but if Hiro was honest, he wasn't truly sad.

Yes, he had lost the parents that had given him life, but he loved the parents that now gave him love.

Hiro and his four years older brother Tadashi had been taken in by their aunt Cass. For the past years, she had been the only mother Hiro and Tadashi knew. She was kind, gentle, scatterbrained and she was trying real hard to make things easy for them.

To make things easier on the two cubs, Cass had packed their bags and moved away from San Fransokyo. A single omega having to take care of two cubs in the big city? It'd be hard. She didn't have a pack to speak of and she knew that in smaller towns, the people held together more. A small town was one pack that helped each other out and defended their territory together.

The three fox-shifters made their way to a town called Berk, at the cliffs of an island, surrounded by the sea. It was truly beautiful and Cass was looking forward to building their new life here.

/break\

The town of Berk was not overly large, but it had a good, solid pack that knew to rely on one another. Their Alpha was Stoick Haddock, a broad, strong and, true to his name, stoic dragon-shifter. He looked very intimidating upon first meeting him, but anyone who knew him on a personal level knew the man had a heart of gold. He was especially gentle about his only hatching.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was barely six years old, a scrawny tiny thing. When he had first hatched, their city's doctor Gothi had been doubtful he'd make it through his first winter. In the end, it had been Hiccup's mother that had been taken from Stoick. He only had his son left and he cherished the frail little boy. Hiccup held a curiosity that got him into more trouble than anything.

"Oi! Stoick! There's the new arrivals you wanted to visit", called his second-in-command.

Stoick looked up, ripped out of his thoughts by his old friend Gobber wobbling into the room. Sighing, Stoick gathered Hiccup up into his arms, the shy six-years-old hiding in his father's neck as Stoick made his way outside. Their pack was a tight-knitted bunch, most having lived here for many generations now. Having someone new move here was a rather rare occurrence.

The last new arrival to Berk had been a mismatched bunch of five – Toothiana and Nick Saint North, Sanderson Mansnoozie and his cousin Kozmotis Pitchiner, as well as Aster Bunnymund. A traveling pack, small in numbers, that wished to settle down. That had been fifteen years ago now.

"What do we know of them again?", asked Stoick absentmindedly as they walked on.

"Three fox-shifters, a young miss and two cubs", explained Gobber. "Her nephews, but their parents died, I think. That's what she told Toothiana, at least. Hamada, the name is."

Stoick grunted and nodded sharply as they continued on. Foxes? They never had foxes in their pack before. Most were dragons like themselves, there were some wolf-families, one family of bunnies. The most exotic ones had been their 'new' arrivals fifteen years ago; Nick being a big polar bear, his mate Toothiana an elegant and beautiful bird of paradise and Aster another bunny-shifter to add to the one family they have had in their pack before. Then again, foxes were known to be tricksters and troublemakers. But those were stereotypes and Stoick tried to be a modern Alpha. He was to give them a chance and see how they'd integrate into the pack.

"Miss Hamada, it's a pleasure to...", started Stoick politely as they reached the house's door.

A petite brunette stood in the doorway, with soft features and wide, kind eyes. She was beautiful and something about her fragility reminded him of his late wife in both a warming and a painful way. She smiled, rocking the toddler nestled against her neck softly to calm him from a crying fit.

"Yes?", asked the female fox patiently as Stoick failed to continue.

"May I present? Stoick Haddock, Alpha of Berk", introduced Gobber mildly amused and with the slightest teasing edge to it. "Miss Cassandra Hamada."

"Oh, Alpha. Of course. Please, come in. Thank you, for... offering us a place in your pack. And Cass is enough", replied Cass Hamada as she stepped aside. "Can I offer you some tea?"

There was a boy, looking about Hiccup's age, sitting on the carpet in the living room and playing with blocks and robot-toys. Stoick and Gobber followed Cass' instruction to sit on the couch.

"Those are Tadashi and Hiro, my nephews", introduced Cass with a smile, curiously looking at the child in Stoick's arms. "And who may this handsome young man be?"

Hiccup giggled at being called handsome and peeked bravely out from Stoick's beard, surprising the Alpha. "My son and heir, Hiccup. I couldn't find a babysitter, I apologize for bringing him along."

"Oh, that's not a problem", dismissed Cass. "He's what? Four? Five?"

"Six", corrected Stoick with a sigh. "He's very... small for his age."

"Six?", repeated Cass surprised. "Well, Tadashi is seven. Maybe they'd like to play while we adults talk? And I'll be right back with the tea, if you don't mind waiting."

Stoick put Hiccup down and watched with weary eyes how Hiccup sat down with Tadashi and, after a while, started talking softly to the slightly older boy. By the time Cass returned with the tea, the two boys were building together, both smiling. Hiro on Cass' arms had settled down some and was watching nearly enviously how the stranger was playing with his big brother. Tugging on Cass' hair demandingly, he silently requested to be put down too. The youngest was still more than wobbly on his legs, but he surely made his way over to Tadashi and Hiccup to join them.

"Aren't they adorable?", cooed Cass, watching them with awe.

Gobber and Stoick simply grunted in agreement. Hiccup wasn't very social, due to his scrawniness he was often being picked on by the other kindergarteners – it gave Stoick a bit of a headache that instead of taking charge of his play-group, he mainly sat in a corner, drawing pictures with his best friend Fishlegs. Stoick's own nephew Snotlout seemed far more cut-out to be a leader. But Stoick was hopeful that Hiccup would shape up to take his rightful place as Alpha of Berk one day. He was aware of the whispers, accusations that a boy that small and fragile simply wasn't meant to be an alpha, much less an Alpha, but Stoick knew, deep down in his guts he knew.

/break\

Over the following three years, Stoick found himself orbiting to the Hamada household more often than not. Cass the gentle omega had become an important asset to Stoick's council. A few weeks ago, after a lot of prodding and urging on from both Nick and Toothiana, Stoick had gathered the courage to officially start courting Cass Hamada, after all.

"You have spent years mourning, my friend. It is time to claim happiness", had Nick Saint North declared in his usual loud, bubbly way, clapping Stoick on the back and laughing.

Nick and Toothiana were living at the very outskirts of town, up on the tall, snowy mountains. They didn't have too much business with the town, aside from selling the toys they made and buying supplies in town. Yet Stoick had found a good friend in the white-haired man. A good friend that gave good advise, because weeks later and Berk celebrated a grand, beautiful wedding.

Little Hiro, by now six-years-old, was the proud ring-bearer. It was adorable how important the boy felt and when Stoick took the rings, he laughed and patted the child's head. Both Hiro and Tadashi were like his own sons. The friendship Hiccup and Tadashi had formed on the first day they met had only grown with the years and Hiro had come to adore Hiccup as much as he adored Tadashi.

"You may now kiss the bride", declared Gobber amused.

Cass giggled and blushed as Stoick tilted her and kissed her softly. All of Berk cheered and all of Burgess cheered. For many centuries, Berk and Burgess had shared borders. They also shared trade, yet they were still two separate towns. Both had proud families that had been Alphas to their respective town for such a long time – the Haddocks in Berk and the DunBrochs in Burgess.

And of course did the DunBrochs come to attend the wedding of their ally. Fergus DunBroch was as much a mountain of a man and picture of an alpha as Stoick Haddock was. The two men had grown up as close friends and had always hoped that the next generation might one day unite their towns.

The border was blurred as it was; both towns had grown in size so much over the centuries that what used to be two small villages far apart were now two large towns sharing a school district. The towns would only continue growing and the sensible next step would be to unite them. Alas, neither Alpha wanted to back down and concede territory or authority.

And then their children had been born, not even a year apart.

Hiccup Haddock, Stoick's precious little boy, and Merida DunBroch, Fergus' precious little girl.

Their fathers laid in wait. Hiccup would either present as an alpha or a beta, while Merida would either turn out to be a beta or an omega – physical lack of certain organs made such things pretty obvious considering that just up and growing an addition organ as a teenager was a most ludicrous and mortifying thing to imagine. So their fathers waited. If both turned out to be betas, or if Hiccup turned out to be an alpha and Merida turned out to be an omega, then everything would be perfect.

Fergus and Stoick had always made sure that the two children would spend much time together, but to little effect. Hiccup and Merida had nothing in common and shared no interests. While Hiccup preferred to be inside, reading or drawing or as he was younger playing with his Legos, Merida was a wild spirit who yearned for the outside, loved partaking in various sports.

Yet still, Fergus and Stoick remained patiently hopeful for the next grand mating ceremony.

/break\

Hiccup loved his family. A year had passed since his father's and mother's wedding. The Haddocks and the Hamadas had officially moved in together and Cass had become the only mother Hiccup ever even remembered knowing, while Stoick became the father that Tadashi and Hiro deserved. Hiccup was thirteen now and started noticing more things around him.

The duties of a chief, for example. Or just how bright the love between Cass and Stoick was. He also noticed his friends more. Not just as his friends, but also as their different races and the social implications of their secondary genders, now that they were teens. They hadn't presented yet – one usually presented at around sixteen – but with their teenage years, hormones started rising and certain scents started taking over. Not overwhelmingly so, more like they were wrapped up in layers of cotton or something, but it was still already quite distinguishable.

Stoick and Cass had thrown a party for Hiccup the first time his alpha-scent started becoming detectable, like it was something great and awesome. Hiccup was reluctantly doubtful about it.

But it made him pay closer attention to his friends and to what their future might hold.

There were the Oswald siblings Heather and Dagur. He smelt like alpha and she smelt like omega. Dagur was kind of a bit crazy (lot crazy), but he was very protective over his sister. The two had moved to Berk after their parents had died, an Alpha of a neighboring tribe who had been close friends with Stoick so half a year ago, when nearly their whole tribe died, Stoick had taken them in. Hiccup guessed that it had also been the wide, pleading eyes of Cass, who didn't want to see the two children be all on their own. Dagur had instantly taken to Hiccup and started calling him brother, though Hiccup didn't really know how he felt about that. Or about Dagur. But Hiccup was definitely very fond of Heather and maybe nearly as protective of her as Dagur was.

Then there was Hiccup's oldest friend Fishlegs. Fishlegs smelt, for a lack of a better word, appeasing. Most betas did. Non-threatening for either alphas or omegas. Just kind of calm. Fishlegs was also the second most brilliant person Hiccup knew, right after his big brother Tadashi of course. He was a bookworm just like Hics and spent a lot of his time at the library with Hiccup. Hiccup really hoped that one day, when Hiccup became the Alpha, Fishlegs would be to him what Gobber was to Stoick. The loyal pack Beta, second in command and trustworthy adviser.

Hiccup's second best friend, who had moved to Berk a few years ago, was Toothless Nachtschatten. He had never really opened his mouth when he had first arrived at Berk so kids had started rumors that maybe he didn't have any teeth and was embarrassed about it. Turned out he was deaf by birth and opted not to speak. Hiccup had taken the black-haired dragon-shifter under his wing when others had started teasing him and had fast learned sign language to be able to communicate with his new friend. Toothless had been so touched by the gesture that the two soon grew inseparable. And as tradition in Berk, Toothless kept the embarrassing stupid and insulting nickname and wore it like a badge of honor – just like Hiccup and Fishlegs and many others in their tribe.

Then there were the chaotic twins Tuffnut and Ruffnut with whom Hiccup didn't really know what to do. They were kind of as crazy as Dagur in a way. They were also kind of a danger to themselves and others. Part of Hiccup was really very relieved that they both smelt like betas. Because them as alphas? Getting up to no good? Berk would be left in ruins.

There was also Hiccup's cousin Snotlout with whom he did not get along. The other had always teased Hiccup about being too scrawny and probably only a beta while he himself planned on becoming Berk's strongest alpha. Part of Hiccup was glad to be an alpha after all, because he did not look forward to being pushed around by Snotlout if he'd be a beta. As an alpha himself, Hiccup knew one day he'd be able to show Snotlout his place.

Lastly, there was Heather's best friend Astrid. Hiccup didn't have a lot to do with the bossy female alpha, if he was being honest. She was kind of as much a bully as Snotlout.

Hiccup blinked slowly. If he was being really-really honest, the only actual friends on that list were Toothless and Fishlegs. All others used to be pretty mean to Hiccup back when they were all children, making fun of him for being too scrawny to ever become an alpha, much less the Alpha. They started being more reasonable and kind of nicer now that everyone started smelling like their secondary genders and now that it was becoming more obvious that Hiccup was actually an alpha.

"Hello, Hics."

Hiccup blinked and looked up. Okay, so maybe Fishlegs and Toothless weren't his only real friends. Even though they didn't really have anything in common, Hiccup had gotten so used to spending time with Merida DunBroch that he indeed did count her as a friend. The short redhead hopped up onto the workbench, kicking her legs back and forth. Her hair was wild and pointed into every possible direction, all long frizzy curls that dominated the girl's entire being. Merida was about 70% hair. The other 30% were attitude. Hiccup offered her a small grin.

"Hey, Merida. What brings you to the workshop?"

She looked at him nearly sheepishly as she pulled her bow out of her backpack. Or rather, two halves of what used to be her bow. Hiccup frowned as he took it. He had made it for her, like every other bow and every single arrow. He had always liked spending time with Gobber, who was the local blacksmith and mechanic. Now that he was a bit older, he was also allowed to 'play around' a little himself too. Since Merida was a total fan of archers – her room was plastered in posters of Green Arrow and Hawkeye and Legolas – but her mother Elinor thought it improper for a young omega to play with weapons, Hiccup had made them for her in secret. Well, Elinor and Fergus knew, obviously, because you couldn't keep such a thing a secret. But Fergus had just laughed and encouraged his daughter and convinced Elinor with the argument that it had been a gift from Hiccup. It had taken Hiccup some to understand why that argument had swayed Elinor. They thought that it could be a first sign of him wanting to give Merida courting gifts.

"Your brothers?", guessed Hiccup with both eyebrows raised.

"Uhu. Stupid little dweebs", muttered Merida with a pout. "Can you fix it?"

Hiccup raised his eyebrows even further, but he went to work anyway while throwing Merida one of the apples he had taken with him as lunch. Merida took it gratefully and took a bite while watching her friend work curiously. He was used to her watching him work. Since they didn't share many interests, they didn't really have a lot to talk about so every time their parents used to force them to hang out, they'd just silently do whatever each wanted to do. That had developed into a comfortable silence between them and Hiccup actually felt better just knowing she was there. She smelt sweet, like omegas did. She smelt like honey. The scent always made Hiccup grin a little because unlike him, who he was a dragon-shifter, she was a bear-shifter. A bear-shifter with a honey-scent. Hiccup didn't really like honey though, if he was being honest.

"So. When I told mom I was going to the workshop, she got that delighted look on her face again."

"Yeah. It won't be long until they'll actually stop you from coming because it'll be 'inappropriate' without a chaperone", muttered Hiccup, pausing in his work. "It won't be long until they start thinking me making you arrows is me giving you courting gifts."

He didn't miss the grossed-out way that Merida wiggled her nose. "No offense, Hics. You're nice and all and like... way better than Dagur or Snotlout. But... I'm thirteen! I don't want to think about getting an alpha. Just because I'm an omega doesn't mean I have to get an alpha! It's not like that should be my only purpose in life. It's dumb."

"I know", sighed Hiccup as he continued to work. "I envy Tadashi too. He's a beta and he's not the Alpha's biological son, so he doesn't have to worry about those things at all. Urgh. All I wanna do is build and tinker, not think about courting an omega and becoming Alpha. Dad is going to be Alpha for a long, long time so what's the rush? I just wish they'd lay off our backs."

Merida hummed thoughtfully, taking another bite from her apple. "You know. As long as they think you and I are courting and stuff, they will not push the matter further."

Hiccup looked up startled. "Y—You want to lie to them?"

"What? No. I mean... would it really be a lie?", asked Merida with a mischievous grin. "After all, they are already assuming that you and I are a 'young, blossoming romance', which just makes me wanna puke. All we'd have to do is... not correct them, right?"

Hiccup adapted a thoughtful expression at that. She was kind of right. As long as they thought Merida and Hiccup were going to obey their wishes, their parents would at the very least not start pulling names out of hats and put other suggestions on the table. It was like the one thing Hiccup dreaded even more than courting Merida. His dad parading omegas from influential families around so Hiccup might pick an 'appropriate choice'. The mere thought gave him a headache.

"You might be onto something there", admitted Hiccup with a small grin.

"I know", hummed Merida pleased. "I am not getting an alpha. Ever. I don't need some stupid bossy alpha – no offense, Hics, but then again you're like more of a beta anyway."

"...Offense taken", huffed Hiccup, looking down himself.

He knew he was a scrawny excuse for a dragon. Dragon-shifters were always impressive and large and muscular, or at the very least not scrawny. He really hoped that maybe once he presented, he would be the kind of alpha omegas looked at with appreciation. Not that he lived to impress omegas, but just once being acknowledged instead of dismissed... it would be nice.

"Meh. You'll either fill out, or you'll find an omega who's into scrawny", shrugged Merida with a mischievous grin and a nudge. "Or we just stay single forever, what do you say?"

"I think before that happens, we should really get mated to each other so our parents at least don't die of disappointment", chuckled Hiccup amused, earning a disgusted face from Merida and getting an apple core thrown at his head just as he returned to his work on the bow.

"Nope. No alpha will ever tie me down. I'll go out and adventure", declared Merida firmly.

Author's note: Fair warning, this story will be a slow-burn. Because first of all, this world and its dynamics need to be mapped out. While this chapter focused on the growing family dynamics of Hiccup's family in this - next chapter will dive more into the friendship-dynamics, introducing Fishlegs and Toothless~

If you wanna know when this story will be updated, then you can find it on my updating schedule on my profile! ;)
