The Other Side of the Coin

by VoidofRoses

AU wherein instead of simply naming the runt of the tribe 'Hiccup', the runt is considered bad luck and tossed to the sea gods. As fate would have it, this runt was washed up on Outcast Island and raised as Alvin's heir. A rewrite of the Alvin and the Outcasts episode and onwards, with book elements. Hicstrid. Warning for blood and guts.

37. author's note

Hello everyone! Sorry if you thought this was an update.

So first off I want to apologize for taking over a month to write the next chapter. My life's been pretty busy to the point where I've only been able to concentrate on drabbles and The Other Side of the Coin isn't something that deserves that type of concentration. I'm in the process of figuring out where to head things at this point, as well as doing a few important things IRL.

On a side note, I'm thinking about completely retweaking the chapters currently up and making them fuller, more background and description and dialogue, and these will be uploaded to replace what's already here, hopefully in the process helping me get my head around the next chapter. In the meantime I have a couple of drabble verses, Weredragon of Berk, and a hijack seasons AU that I'm working on right now.

So I haven't abandoned this fic at all! I'm just in a bit of a tough spot right now to concentrate on anything as long as it is and update continuously. Thanks for being so patient and hopefully you will see an actual update soon!
