    Summary

    A death camp was not where Hiccup wanted to spend his adolescence. Not after finally making peace with the dragons. He came to terms with it, reasoning they could all just pick up where they left off when he got back in four years. He was wrong.

    How does a man so twisted and broken from experiences too difficult to name pretend nothing had changed? How was Astrid supposed to handle what they'd done to him?

    It would require acceptance. Trust on all sides, both for him to open up, and for her to stay.
