    Summary

    After the dragons leave for the Hidden World, Hiccup is left to grapple with the fallout as the rest of New Berk begins to rebuild and move on. But Hiccup just can't seem to move on like the rest of them. As Chief, he needs to put on a brave face and lead by example, but his grief threatens to consume him and ruin everything he has worked for. After an argument ends badly with Astrid, he isn't sure if he will be able to pull himself together in order to win her back. In order to move forward, Hiccup must come to terms with who he is without Toothless, and how to protect his people without the might of dragons behind him.
    ~~~

    A post-Hidden World Fic that explains how HIccup and Astrid got to the boat to see Toothless again. This is a mature version of the characters and story with mentions of suicidal ideation, depression, grief, violence, war, and sexual content, so proceed with caution. None of the original HTTYD characters are mine, but I do have some original characters that I have added to the story. Any similarities to other stories or characters are completely coincidental.
