- How to Train Your Dragon: "what if... the Lycanwing was real" (Dragons: Race to the Edge) [inspired by Jokermask8 AO3]

Heather was hurt, having been badly hit by many arrows, Windshear was scared for her rider, having just gotten them away and hidden in a cave within a forest on a lonely island, she knew her rider wouldn't make it back to the island with the other dragons and their riders, so she made a choice, she first carefully pulled the arrows out with her teeth and opened the clothing to expose the wounds, she then bite into her paw and drew blood, she first covered the wounds in her dragon blood then had it flow into and down her riders throat, after which she carefully but tightly wrapped around her rider like a mother to her laid eggs and covered them both with her wings.

Heather was on fire, her insides like molten rock, her skin itchy like thousands of fire ants crawling just underneath, and her bones felt like wood being broken and reformed as burning metal out of a forge, she had never felt this kind of pain before and it just kept going, an eternity seemed to pass before it slowly cooled down until she felt fine once more.

Heather woke up the following day feeling better than she ever had before, once Windshear unwrapped from their protective nest Heather was finally able to see her body, which had greatly changed, she now had silver metal scales running along the back of her arms and outer shoulders, along her collar down the middle of her chest and sides to her abdomen, outer hips, the outer half of her thighs, covering her lower legs and back, she had silver wings coming from her back just like Windshear's along with a similar tail extending from her lower back, her teeth where slightly sharper, her nails on hands and feet where now like retractable claws, and she had a pattern of silver scales along her forehead from temple to temple along with a few silver locks within her black hair.

She was then surprised by Windshear talking to her, explaining that her life was at risk and so she gave her blood, knowing that her blood would change her, Heather is slightly shocked at this but greatly thankful to her dragon's loyalty and affection.

A few hours passed with her learning about her new body before the other riders and dragons showed up, Heather had to stay behind a bush as her clothes had been greatly damaged from her transformation, after getting over the shock and getting some spare clothes that where altered to fit, with Astrid nearly caving in Snotlout's skull when he tried to sneak a look, they were told of what happened, Hiccup and Fishlegs theorised that this may have been where the Lycanwing legend came from, a dragon giving blood to someone to save their lives, when asked why this hasn't happened with other drinking the blood of dragons or their meat in old times the dragons explain through Heather that it had to be a willing thing, that the gifts of a dragon could not be forced or taken against their will.

After this and informing other's things went on as normal, only with Heather now having an edge in flying along with Windshear in and outside of battle, some took a while to get used to her changes but it was no different than when learning to live with dragons, only easier. Time passed and a few others got transformed by dragons either as a gift of friendship or when seriously injured, they found out that those born from half-dragons are also half-dragons, leading to a new age of dragons, Vikings and dragonlings to be born.
