WELCOME TO ANOTHER INSTALMENT OF "DRAGON ADVENTURES"
A fanfic series, were virtually all my Dragon fanfics are part of a big elaborate interwoven series written at random but linked on this big timeline that connects with the actual TV series/Films/elements from the original books by Cressida Cowell and my own original work (The Ring Dynasty) even characters created by fans (Alia - 'Echoes of the Past' is a fan requested character) They are all rated 'M' and are all marked individually. Full of fun, intrigue, laughter, romance and action. Some are poetic and sweet, some dark and gory, and even a few are sensationally spicy (coming soon)
So I hope you enjoy the many chapters of this larger than life series. Based on DreamWorks adaption of Cressida Cowell's Book Series, powered by my endless passion for DRAGONS.
Enjoy!
Speed Stinger Captive
How to Train Your Dragon Fanfic
It had been a few weeks since the Gang had left Dragons' Edge, for the most part things were going well back on Berk….except for the day they discovered a small gang of Speed Stingers in the bushlands of Berk. Whilst trying to round them all up it become a case of the usual story; the Twins mucked about, Snotlout tried for arrogance without the means to back it up and in the twisted common events of the Dragon Riders, Astrid ended up stung by a Speed Stinger.
That's when Snotlout got the dumbest idea on record, one that he would surely never repeat again….
"Say… she can't move." Snotlout said tweaking the non-existent bead on his chin.
"Not yet she can't." Ruff laughed. "Just wait till she wakes up, though."
"Yes, you will be, shall we say…shit out of luck?"
Ruff giggled. Tuff frowned. "No, No that's too….mmm lacking in our usual flare-ity my dear sister."
Ruff grinned. "Don't 'dear sister' me, my bro-crastinator! This be-th your turn of phrase."
Snotlout groaned.
"Mutton heads." Then turned back to a fiercely annoyed and frozen Astrid. She stood on her feet her hand outstretched with the markings of a the Speed Stinger on her hand. She had been about to warn the Twins to watch their backs when she'd been taken by surprise and stung. Now she was motionless and internally seething.
"He never learns! Dear Sis." Ruff punched her brother in the arm and soon a playful squabble ensured between them.
"Mutton heads! If she can't more than I can steal a kiss without her hitting me." Snotlout said smugly so certain such a thing wouldn't get him killed.
The twins stopped fighting, Tuff with his hand shoving his sister back and Ruff with her other arm tangled in his dreadlocks. They both laughed at first thinking it all a big joke, Snotlout bosting again, then they saw his expression.
"Wait? You can't be serious." Tuff gapped in surprise.
"Yeah, not even we are that stupid." Ruff joined in.
Their remarks meant nothing however as Snotlout ignored them and stood before Astrid. He leaned in to brush his lips to her frozen lips, oblivious to the panic and fury flickering in her eyes.
He neared his precious goal just as the angry screech of Toothless could be heard in the distance, swiftly followed by Hiccup's stern growl.
"Snotlout!" He called with more than a hint of irritation in his voice. Soring down into the valley on Toothless and calmly jumping down from his back to the ground. Walking over to the three startled Vikings and his frozen betrothed.
"Hiccuppp…" Snotlout nervously spoke. "What…what are you doing here…?"
"Saving you from getting yourself killed." Hiccup snapped sharply.
"I don't know what you mean…di..did you, I mean…"
"Yes, Snotlout I heard every word." Coming to stand by a grateful Astrid and taking her other hand that was by her side. Her fingers were cold and stiff, and felt his heart clench, he should have been with her, he should have been here to protect her from the Speed Stingers….perhaps being here to save her from Snotlout would lessen her anger towards him for not getting here in time to stop her from being frozen. He recalled all too well recall the horrified fears that she'd told him about when the flight mare had hit her with its paralysing mist all those year ago. Being defenceless was something Astrid feared greatly.
"I…I a….um…." Snotlout laughed nervously trying to hide his actions but Hiccup only glared at him.
"Seriously Snotlout? What were you thinking? Not only would Astrid have killed you the instant she woke up but I myself would have a hard time not killing you."
Actually more enraged the more he thought of it Hiccup stepped forward still clasping Astrid's hand and poked Snotlout in the chest with his other hand.
"When are you going to get it into your head that she's not interested in you. She's my betrothed Snotlout. Add to that, taking advantage of a woman when she's unable to decide for herself is…"
"The only way he'd ever get a girl?" Ruffnut chimed in sarcastically.
Earning her a fierce glare form Hiccup.
"Wrong. It's wrong, Ruffnut and you all know that, especially you Ruffnut. Not only that it could be considered as treason. I'm going to be Chief someday Snotlout, and Astrid is going to be my wife. Hurting her is always going to hurt me. Crossing your Chief is a fast way to get yourself banished! Snotlout."
Looking very very nervous Snotlout tried to brush it off as a joke.
"I wasn't really going to kiss her I was only teasing…" He said not sounding convincing even to himself.
"There is nothing funny about what you were planning to do Snotlout. Nothing. I really shouldn't have expected more from you."
The Twins and Snotlout especially were speechless at Hiccup's haunting words, and the unspoken threat of banishment that hang in the silence.
Slowly Hiccup felt Astrid's fingers tightened around his as she began to wake up.
Her cold fingers grew warmer within his and he wrapped his arms around her as her legs freed up and she stumbled against his chest.
Glaring at Snotlout she said only one thing.
"We'll talk about this later, yes. we. will."
Then they both turned and headed back to a waiting Toothless. Helping her on to Toothless's back they were soon in the evening air, a heavy silence falling around them.
"Astrid I –"
"I don't want to talk about it Hiccup, let's just round up theses dragons and go home. I can handle Snotlout later."
"Astrid, he didn't actually – you know, - so try not to be too harsh on him…"
Astrid glared at him as he looked back at her over his shoulder.
"The intent is still punishable Hiccup you know that, I can't let him think his actions are acceptable."
Hiccup reached around for her hand drawing her closer to him, seeking comfort, though she'd never admit it, she wrapped her arms around him and held on tight.
"Astrid I know it's-"
"I said I didn't want to talk about it Hiccup." Astrid tersely reminded him. Stubbornly ignoring how the comfort of having him close was wearing down her anger.
"You're right, I'm sorry."
Realising how hard this must be on him too she sighed.
"Me too, Hiccup." Then she kissed his cheek. "Thank you for saving me. Snotlout's just being a mutton head, but I really do need to come up with a good punishment…."
Hiccup smiled, "Agreed, just try not to make it 'death by sharp' or 'blunt objects'…."
"What about poison?"
Hearing her whisper in his ear Hiccup laughed.
"No…."
As they continued to search for the stray Speed Stingers a thought accrued to them both.
"…uunless…."
Together they smiled.
"Yaknog."
"Yaknog."
Snotlout was in for a world of hurt!

This story is rated 'M' and categorised as an individual (although they are linked stories) because that's how I wish to keep all my stories if they are not for children in general or are subject to changes in overall plotline.
Mature content is more than just sex, language and violence.
Please get a grip and remark on the story not the rating or category. It has now been over 4 years now since I began my Dragon Series and I'm tired of hearing the same thing. Get a grip.
Other than that.
Enjoy!
