Chapter Text
Before you continue reading, I’d like to share a few things that I think are important to mention.
Firstly, this is a self-insert/OC story, and as such, there might be some elements of main character syndrome. If that’s something you’re not comfortable with, please feel free to skip ahead.
This is an OC/Hiccup story. While I deeply admire both Astrid and Hiccup, my personal connection to the character of Hiccup makes him the main love interest in this story.
Additionally, there are references to Norse mythology throughout the story. Since the fandom itself is rooted in Viking culture and the old Norse gods, I hope it’s not an issue, but if it’s something you’re uncomfortable with, I completely understand.
Finally, I want to clarify that while this story was not directly inspired by Hitchups, it was the passion I found in that story, especially its worldbuilding, character dynamics, and setup, that motivated me to write this fanfic. Hitchups is truly a masterpiece, and I encourage you to check it out if you haven’t already.
Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you enjoy the story!
