Hiccup X Reader Wattpad Novels & Stories

I belong to that demographic of middle-aged mothers who occasionally dabble in fanfiction, and so 'How to Train Your Dragon' has an extra-special place in my heart.

There is a wealth of creativity to be found in this fandom. Two fanfics that I particularly like are 'Becoming Lífþrasir' and 'I Hear Him Scream'. In 'Becoming Lífþrasir', we see what happens when Hiccup is taken in by dragons and 'I Hear Him Scream' is a thrilling and emotional tale of Hiccup, Toothless switching bodies.

Both carry you along on a wild ride and both do this much-loved tale the justice it deserves.

Finding good 'Astrid and Hiccup' fanfiction can take some digging, because not every platform treats the 'How to Train Your Dragon' fandom equally. AO3 is my first stop for consistently higher quality prose and more daring narrative experiments. Authors there seem more willing to explore post-movie dynamics or alternate universes where the peace treaties with dragons strain differently, and I've found some stunningly written slow-burn relationship studies that focus on their partnership as rulers of Berk.

Tumblr is less reliable for full stories but incredible for finding recommendations. Following a few dedicated HTTYD fan blogs often leads you to hidden threads where someone will gush about a decade-old fic on FanFiction.net that perfectly captured Astrid's voice. That site itself is a mixed bag—tons of abandoned works from 2015, but a few absolute foundational epics are buried there. I sometimes go back just to reread 'The Outcast and the Shield-Maiden' series, which nails their competitive-to-respectful early dynamic.

A strategy that's worked for me is filtering on AO3 by 'complete works only' and sorting by kudos, then checking the bookmarks of the authors I like. Their public bookmarks are often a curated list of similar-quality stories. Don't overlook crossovers, either. A surprisingly poignant one-shot exists where Hiccup and Astrid get thrown into the world of 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' and their bond is tested through that lens. It's those unique takes that make the search worthwhile.
