Do You Interact With Ocs? My OC Would Like To Say Something To Eret. They Have Similar Experiences

would you guys eat roasted grasshoppers?

Viggo: If they were flavored with spices?

Dagur: I've had alive ones. So roasted is an update.

Eret: Already had it. Not impressed.

Boop 😺

Viggo: *sways your hand off* Don't even think about it.

Dagur: Boop! *boops back*

Eret: *gets booped* What?

Jörmungard aka Eret's lore we were robbed of

https://archiveofourown.org/works/54579286/chapters/138293809

My and @skysiren41 's httyd fic about our beloved ex-trapper.

What is it about?

Ever since he was little, Eret was always scared of the story about giant serpent roaming the seas of the Far north, stories his grandfather told him. Years later after he joined the Berkians, lost his dragon in a war and fell in love, he encounters two of his greatest fears:

The legendary serpent himself and the thought of returning to his land. The one he ran away from.

Now he's facing the consequences of leaving his throne duties, his family and friends and as well reuniting with his roots and remembering what it's like to belong somewhere.

Yes, those scales were a pain....

How does this differ from the original Httyd?

Stoick lives

Night Furies and Light Furies roam the New Berk

Eret's first dragon was a blue scarred Singetail that he rescued from one of his old traps. He died protecting Eret in a war.

Grimmel did happen but after him Drago showed up again but this time with only the hunters, who secretly planted bunch of dragon roots around the New Berk so the dragons become dangerous and the Berkians are distracted and unprepared for the war.

Viggo is alive (you can't change my mind) and he has his own island, where he nurtures and trains dragons, that he managed to rescue.

Got questions? Ask away!

We all have that one guy that ruins pictures. That's why we delete them to make a space for making memes!

That's much better 😁

Lesbian pose

Viggo: I won't lie. I love it.

Dagur: Me too!!! I can see myself form out of metal little daggers or darts I could then throw around me!

Viggo: That's an interesting idea. How about you Eret? Who do you see yourself as?

Eret: Me? Well I'm a born sailor but my parents and family always said I have a hot head...... But I would say water. Fire never did me any good.

It happened spontaneously, but I love AU. So… Avatar Hiccup. Hiccup considered himself an ordinary person before meeting Toothless. (Dragons can be equated to spirits, i mean relationships between people and them). Then he discovered his talent as an airbender and Toothless became his teacher. Later, other talents were discovered, which made it clear that Hiccup was an avatar.

Astrid became his waterbender teacher. Snotlout was an adept of firebender, but he sincerely did not understand how to teach, because he himself used magic on a subconscious level. Fishlegs is an earthbender, but he did not go beyond the amateur level and could not become a teacher. The twins are always on their own wave. Ruffnut is a master in airbending and can perform techniques with clouds of gas, while Tuffnut is not a master, but is ready to set fire to the gas with his sparks at any moment. The twins always come in a set.

Brothers Grimborn! Lord of Fire Viggo. The aesthetics of blue flame and lightning were created for him. So I couldn't resist. The hottest flame and deadly techniques of lightningbending made him the most terrible opponent for the young avatar, but in the future, he will become the teacher of fire magic for Hiccup. I endowed Riker with explosion magic, as for me, it suits him perfectly. An explosive mixture of rage and bloodlust.

Berserkers! Remembering Viggo's words about how the berserkers in ancient times lured the Skrills with metal, I thought about a tribe practicing metalbending. Dagur discovered his talent for earth magic much later, including metal. I like to think that Dagur could be a threat to the avatar even as an ordinary person, relying on his ingenuity and physical strength. Heather is a master of earth and metal magic, she could well become Hiccup's teacher in this matter.

Solved mystery behind Lars number 2.

In RoB Twins mentioned cousin Lars already, which means that in RttE they used Lars number 2 to avoid possible confusion that Twins are related to Grimmborns.

Which and let's be honest there would be freakin funny XD

Viggo: No, it certainly would not....

Chilli it, Viggy.

Viggo: Don't call me that.

Viggy?

Wiggly Viggy?

Wiggle wiggly Vigg-

Viggo: ENOUGH!!!

This fic started as a fun rp and months(or a year) later I decided to make a fic out of it. I once stated that when the 8 chapter is out, I'll release it to public.

I studied as much as I could about the Saami culture to be as accurate as possible and also create a new lore and keeping up the fact that Eret's culture is also part inuity which affects his mother's looks and culture and such.

I hope you guys will like it.

The credits to this fic also belong to the @skysiren41, who has OC Brynja and Naga in the fic with Brynja dating Eret and Naga being a hybrid of a Light fury and Stormcutter.

And because AO3 is acting up, here's the chapter 8:

When others arrived they found them sleeping and cuddled together.

"Aww how sweet." Fishlegs smiled.

"Well looks like we found them." Hiccup said, sounding relieved. He was really worried when he didn´t see them come back.

"Do you think he's nude again?" Asked out loud Ruff and others cringed.

"Come on, you're better than that!" Frowned Astrid but she was blushing.

"Ew don't remind me." Snotlout shuttered, remembering how they found out.

Three months after Eret moved to Berk, the Berk got swarmed with wild dragons who didn´t know where to be since the main Alpha fell and Toothless was still getting a hang of his status. They were wrecking things, nesting in the ships and buildings and fighting over the streets to make it their territorium. Clearly they were now considering Berk to be their new nest.

Let's just say that it was a very hectic morning and in the hurry Hiccup and Snotlout forgot to knock. The avoiding looks that day were making everyone else uncomfortable, Eret included.

Others shuddered too and then jumped when they heard. "Would you mind keeping it down? Since you came here you're loud." said Eret with his eyes closed, hearing everything they said.

They all blushed embarrassed when they realized he was awake.

"Right...sorry." Hiccup said and headed upstairs, catching a glimpse of smirk on Eret's face. Undoubtedly from the story.

Later on during the night Eret woke up from the same nightmare again but this time he didn't scream and just panted.

He got dressed and went for a fresh air to calm down, being as quiet as possible to not wake anyone up.

After he left Hiccup woke up to the sound of the closed door. Looking around he noticed Eret was gone and carefully got out of bed to follow him, seeing him walk to the shore. After a while Eret stopped by the pebble beach and sat down, hugging his knees and looking at the deep dark ocean enlightened by the full moon.

Hiccup walked up and cleared his throat. "Hey."

Eret winced a bit in surprise and sighed, still being back to him "Hey..."

Hiccup came over and sat beside him. “I thought I'd find you here. It's not the first time I have found you on the shore. What is it, the sky? Sand?”

“....... The sea, actually. I like the sound of the waves beating against the shore.”

"Oh……… I'm sorry about what happened. As soon as we stop the Jormungard, you don't have to see your dad again."

Eret sighed deeply and then explained slowly. "It's not all that. Most of my life I've tried to make him proud and show him I am capable of more things than we do here. But as I got older he kept reminding me to not dream so high and to focus on the clan. Maybe if I listened instead of leaving, he wouldn't disown me...."

"You did a lot to help us, you helped to defeat Drago, twice, you brought us here, you're far from a disappointment. All that is left to do is to let your dad know that." He said, hoping to light that spark of hope that's usually sparkling in Eret's eyes. But none appeared as he didn't look very convinced and looked away instead.

Seeing that reaction Hiccup pulled out a stronger weapon.

His own dad issues.

"You might find it hard to believe but I know what you're going through. Sort of."

Seeing Eret turn his head around to look at him with mild confusion, he continued.

"Back then before Toothless, I was constantly trying to be one of the Vikings. Back then killing a dragon was everything I wanted when it was actually just to prove myself that I'm useful, that I belong and I am like them. Like my dad, who by the way after finding out I teamed up with a dragon, disowned me too. I swear I never felt so horrible in my entire life. I was so hurt, especially because it was by my own father..... But I didn't let that stop me from saving Toothless and defeating the Red Death. After he saw the real me in the saddle and how I was capable of doing what no Viking ever could, he realized his mistake and for the first time in my life told me that he's proud of me. Truly proud. I'm sure your dad will come around. And when after he sees the real you, a guy who despite his bad life choices and being disowned still decides to save his people, he'll realize how much he actually he's gonna miss you more than he admits and will regret it.”

The silence suddenly felt heavy after the speech, so many emotions let out of nowhere made the air quite thick. Hiccup couldn't read from Eret's expression what was happening in his head at the moment. Either he was shocked to hear about the disowning or he wondered if Hiccup was right. Or something different. Sometimes Eret was really hard to read, especially because he´s unpredictable in his actions and words and could punch him on the spot within seconds. That happened to Snotlout once. He deserved it though.

Deciding to switch a topic Hiccup spoke up more calmly.

"So...that needle thing...what is it?"

Eret's eyes narrowed in surprise, making him stutter "Oh, um. It's nothing important."

"It must be, you leave when you're getting tired or dizzy for a few minutes, but after that you're fine." Pointed out Hiccup and on seeing the conflict in the other man he added "Please, we just want to know if you're okay."

"So you noticed......... It's stupid" Eret mumbled, looking really ashamed of it. Despite that Hiccup pushed more on him, not leaving without an answer this time. "Whatever it is, it doesn't matter how stupid it is as long as you're alright."

Eret looked at him briefly and then leaned back to fix his hair, a habit he did when he was nervous. "The thing is that I'm not. I was born with something my people call the Fainting curse. My body is missing something that can help me stay conscious during some adrenaline activities and work normally inside. Ever since my parents found out they were making sure that it won't affect my life that much so they both looked for any cure but all they found was a temporary solution that helps me for 12 hours. Lately it's been shortening from 4 to 8 because I've been running low on Slumber root and the Violet tongue doesn't grow anywhere but here, so it's not ideal. Brynja, Saami and the chief are the only ones who know. I never told anyone else because I was always ashamed of it."

Staring at him shocked Hiccup but then put his hand on his shoulder "I understand. When was the last time you took this medicine?" He asked worriedly.

"Not too long after I left the campfire. I was on my way there completely dizzy with the world spinning, basically leaning against the walls to stay up when my fath-I mean the chief found me during his guard and tried to help me. Next thing I know is that everything turns black and cold. After Brynja gave me the medicine I felt better but fully conscious after a few hours. Brynja told me he didn't stay there for long and just told her how to prepare the new meds." He confessed.

"Guess he's still looking out for you." He pointed out, smiling a little until Eret's response.

"As a chief yes because after all I'm still Saami. But as a father......." He pulled his knees higher to curl up in a ball.

Hiccup looked at him sadly, then looked out into the ocean. "Well...you still have us."

He looked at him and tried to smile a bit "Yeah..."

Considering he was taller than him he appreciated the how Hiccup kept his hand on his shoulder to show support.

He then looked at the sea and asked "Do you really think we can deal with that giant?"

"I have absolutely no idea." Hiccup admitted seriously. "But we need to show them it's real at least."

"You should really stop making promises that get us in situations like this." Pointed out Eret annoyed.

"Yeah I know, I regret everytime after I say it. But we have a plan to lure the Jormungard with a ship filled with fake sailors, then one of us will get a scale or tooth while it's distracted." he told him.

Eret sighed, remembering something grandpa told him.

"That won't work. Jormungard knows exactly when there is a northman in the boat and when it's fake. My grandpa back in his day tried it.You'll have to get alive bait that is-" he then realizes and frowns at him "Don't even think about it."

"-that means you need to be on the boat." Finished Hiccup the unspoken end, realizing what he is asking his friend to do after the words left his mouth.

Eret groaned loudly and got up, walking back to bed “Yeah no. Not a chance, Hiccup.” He called.

The next day when the others woke up Hiccup told them what they'll have to do. Noone was on board with being on board.

"What!? Are you crazy!?" Snotlout said shocked.

"I know it's dangerous but it's the only way we can get the evidence we need." Hiccup said.

"Face it Hiccup, it's a suicide mission." Brynja said seriously.

"But so far it's the only plan we have." Hiccup muttered, seeing Eret go to them, still sore "That's gonna take time to get used to Violet tongue again...." He muttered to himself and sat down "What did I miss?"

"Hiccup wants one of us to be on the ship as bait." Explained Astrid and Eret shrugged, taking breakfast "So nothing I wouldn't know about.”

"What happens if one of us can't get out?" Asked Fishlegs.

"We'll make sure one of us is close to the ship."

"You should tie up the person to a rope in case he'll try to eat them on the jump. As dragon trappers we sometimes used live bait." Said Eret and added "Rarely on the sea dragons though."

Hiccup was once again glad that someone had any experience with this. No matter the past or means. "Well that solves that problem, but who's gonna do it?"

"Not me!" Snotlout said immediately

Ruffnut: Not it!

Tuffnut: Not it and I vote for Eret!

Astrid: Same!

Eret choked on the food "What?!"

Astrid folded her arms "First of, it was his idea with the alive bait, second he's used to these actions and third-"

"He's a northman!" Finished Tuffnut.

"But what if he gets hurt?!" Brynja protested.

"We'll tie a rope around his waist like he said." Hiccup said, rubbing the back of his head innocently.

"What?! You can't be serious!" Eret frowned more.

"I know it's dangerous, but I promise we'll make sure you're safe"

"No! I already encountered that thing and it keeps me up all night!" He stood up and walked out.

"Eret wait!" Hiccup said but he was gone, causing him to sigh.

"Well, that went smoothly." Muttered Ruffnut.

"That's the first time I heard him admit that he's scared." Said Snotlout in shock.

"He's really terrified of that dragon..." Hiccup muttered, watching their friend leave.

A bit later

Brynja and the others decided for now to explore the village for a bit, taking in the sights and everything they couldn't yesterday.

Saami were doing most of their work outside under the sun, which included cooking, building, carving and some even playing or practicing fighting with swords.

Back behind the village was a couple of people feeding the reindeers or practicing for the reindeer sleigh race.

Brynja was curious about the wood carving and stopped by a group of Saami carving together around the fire.

When she came there they looked up at her "Wanna learn to carve, dear?”

"I actually know how to carve, may I join?" She asked.

They nodded and gave her a free piece of wood for which she thanked them and began to carve with them.

Snotlout was interested in sword fighting while the others were curious about the reindeers. When he walked up to them they asked him if he wanted to join them. Snotlout took the sword and tried to strike, ending on his back within seconds. Unlike between Vikings, here no one laughed at him as the lads were happy to teach him their ways.

Leaving him there, others aimed their route to the new animals.

The reindeers seemed to be mid domestic and constantly demanding hay and lichen.

Between helping out Saami was Eret, looking a hundred times happier.

"So these are the reindeers you were talking about?" Hiccup asked his friend, hoping he cooled off.

Eret nodded and kept feeding them from the bag, holding out the dried lichen. "This is still a small number so far. The rest will arrive later today. Hopefully."

Some of them tried to sniff if any of them had food.

"Aww they seem friendly." Hiccup said and tried to pet one of them but the reindeer shook his head and trotted away from him.

"Don't feel bad, they come for food, pets rarely. When the ice melts we release them back into nature and they come back at the end of the summer." Explained Eret simply.

"What do you use them for?" Asked Hiccup, watching the animals move around Saami either to demand food or just curious but even to them they acted a little skittish.

"Meat, fur, horns, bones. Nothing goes to waste here. Literally. We even use the organs and blood for our use.” He explained and went to take a lasso to help separate one male who was hurt after spotting him from afar.

“Now you're going to see how I got my strength." He put on the leather gloves and threw the lasso from afar and caught the reindeer by horns who immediately started to bounce and fight.

Eret thankfully had a firm stance so the pulling didn't seem to affect him "Easy, easy!"

"You need help?" Asked Astrid, watching in surprise.

"Hah! Not at all! I've been working with them most of my youth." He began to lead the fighting reindeer into a round little fence where other Saami were ready to quickly open and close the door.

Hiccup watched him, impressed. This explained why he was good with wrangling dragons.

Astrid and Ruffnut were admiring this too. Just a little differently.

Once the reindeer calmed down a bit it was easier "There you go old friend. Had to get it out, didn't ya?" He spoke softly to the animal and made a couple of tongue clicks "There we go. You put up a good fight there."

"That was incredible Eret." Fishlegs said, looking amazed by the display of calculated strength and strategy.

"Who taught you that?" Hiccup asked him curiously.

"It's just our thing. This is what we do. Every Saami learns these skills and respect for these animals ever since we are young. They are our everything, so we treat them with respect." He managed to get the male to a stack of hay and a bucket with water where he could take a better look at the wound while it was distracted by eating.

Once seeing the wound properly he hissed "Oi boy... No wonder you're moody." He muttered and called another Saami over to discuss it.

"He’s gotta teach me to do that someday." Hiccup said as he looked at the wound from behind the fence.

"You really want to know how to handle a wild reindeer?" Asked Astrid skeptically.

"Hey, trying something new every day." Hiccup shrugged.

"Well some muscles on those toothpicks would help you." She teased him.

"Ow right to the heart!" He said pretending that hurt his feelings.

Others giggled until Eret walked to them with concern written all over his face "Let's show you guys something else."

"Is everything ok?" Asked Fishlegs as they noticed the concern.

"Not really. This guy fought off a pack of wolves but that wound.... He's soon gonna feel no more pain." He looked back and saw his people treating the animal kindly and saying some prayers to him.

Hiccup immediately knew what that meant, sighing sadly. "Poor thing..."

"We really can't do anything?" Asked Astrid and Ruffnut teared up "Poor guy...."

"That's how things in the North go here. Instead of letting it suffer we get rid of the pain and in return the animal will not lose its purpose. But I never liked this part of saying goodbye." He began to lead them away so they didn't have to watch.

They all walked away, not wanting to see it either. Sadly life could be unfair to both humans and animals.

Once in the village they went to see how Snotlout's doing. It was difficult for him since all men were taller than him.

Snotlout was still trying his best with the sword fighting, showing off his skills

They tried to show him how to not repeat the same mistake but he insisted on no help.

He did his best, but he kept messing up. "Uhh! Come on, why can't I do this right!”

"You're forcing it too much. Here, may I?" One of them offered to help him

Snotlout groaned and held out the sword but instead the guy stood up behind him "Leading leg slightly forward, crouch down a little, left arm before your chest for protection and just go with the hits, look for open spots. Got it?"

"Got it." He nodded a little nervously and then looked surprised when the guy tried to throw him off balance by pushing him, failing in doing so.

"Good. Keep the stance as you fight." He got ready and went to stand before him.

This time it went a lot better for him and other guys cheered at him for making it a success.

"Now that's more like it!"

Eret smiled seeing the progress, not to mention the display of the difference between learning the Viking way and the Saami way. Vikings forge skills with failures and distress but Saami teaches how to make it more fun and still make progress.

Brynja meanwhile was finishing up her carving of a Goldscale

Soon they found her "There you are"

"Hey, sorry I was carving." She smiled and showed Saami her carving.

Saami looked impressed while Astrid smiled "Is that Topaz? Hey, could you carve me a Stormfly?"

"Oh and maybe Meatlug?" Fishlegs asked her

"Sure thing." She smiled.

"Why don't you join us?" Asked one of the Saami.

"Uh we don't know how to carve wood." Hiccup said.

They offered to teach them.

They decided to try it out, getting tips from Brynja on how to do it.

Astrid was pretty clumsy with this delicate work and didn't do well. Hiccup was also not that great with carving, while Fishlegs was actually pretty ok with it. At the end of the day they each had their first little statue of their dragons. As clumsy or funny as it looked it was still a fun experience.

While the others were having a good time during the every eve bonfire, Hiccup was still trying to figure out how to get the evidence.

Eret walked over "Something on your mind, chief?"

"What do you think?" He said tired.

"Oh, that.... I spoke with the Saami and they said that they'll be going fishing in 2 days so we have till tomorrow night to get the evidence...... So I thought maybe I could try to cooperate........" He muttered the last sentence.

"Really, you'd do that?" He asked, a little surprised.

He shrugged and hugged himself a bit. "I care about these people and I want to make up for my absence here. So I want to help prevent more deaths, even if it would include my own."

He nodded. "Well that won't happen, we'll make sure you're ok."

"Yeah, wish I felt that sure too."

"We'll get everything ready for tomorrow night"

"Why not during the day?"

"Cause it might see us too."

"..... True."

"We'll have to do it during the night then."

"Great. Can't wait......" He was definitely way more scared now. Being a bait during the day had a plus you could see what's happening beneath the water. But here in the North the waters turn so dark that the hand disappears after light sinking. Not to mention the fact there was a giant dragon with his name booked for the dinner menu.
