Every 'How to Train Your Dragon' fan knows the heartwarming bond between Hiccup and Toothless. But what if the story took a different turn? What if Hiccup was raised by dragons? It opens a whole new world of possibilities and alternate storylines. This fanfiction version of the story imagines Hiccup embracing the dragon lifestyle from a very young age and exploring a unique narrative full of dragon lore, camaraderie, and adventures. Let's delve into it.

THE ADOPTION

Our story begins with Valka, a dragon trainer, stumbling upon a baby Hiccup near her dragons' nest. Finding him alone and abandoned, she makes a brave decision—adopting him into her dragon clan. With the motherly instincts of a dragon, she natures Hiccup under her dragon's watchful eye, ensuring he does not lack a family.

Loosely using the canon, Valka, who was already living among the dragons, chooses to raise Hiccup in the dragon sanctuary, where he grows up alongside creatures most Vikings fear. This arrangement gives Hiccup an unprecedented bonding with dragons from his early years, influencing his character development, and, later on, the relationship with his native Viking tribe.

DRAGONHAVEN

Hiccup does not grow up in Berk, but in Dragonhaven, an area known to few humans. This place is a sanctuary for dragons and becomes Hiccup's playground, study area, and home. He grows to understand dragons' language, habits, and lifestyles, allowing him to become one of the kindest and knowledgeable dragon trainers. Dragonhaven is his world, and he wouldn't trade it for anything.

As part of his dragon-centric upbringing, Hiccup recognizes and respects each dragon species's unique characteristics and traits. Additionally, he mirrors some dragon behaviors, such as acute alertness, heightened senses, and an innate urge to protect his friends.

DRAGON TRANSLATOR

Being raised by dragons, Hiccup develops an uncanny ability to understand and communicate with them. This unique skill gives him a distinct advantage and allows him to mediate between humans and dragons occasionally, serving as a translator of sorts.

Imagine him conversing with the alpha dragon, negotiating with wild dragons, or simply chatting with Toothless; every such interaction amplified by their profound bond and understanding. The ability to 'speak dragon' also comes in handy when Hiccup needs to defuse tension or solve conflicts between his dragon and human friends.

TOOTHLESS AND HICCUP

In this alternate universe, Hiccup's bond with Toothless remains equally strong, if not fueled by more shared experiences and adventures. Hiccup's relationship with Toothless develops from more than a mutual understanding to an intimate bond shared by siblings who have been with each other since their earliest years.

Together, they explore uncharted territories, save other dragons, and make the world a safe haven for dragons and humans alike. They are not just friends but brothers, each being the best man�or dragon�they can be.
