Second Chance
Hiccup has many regrets that are catching up with him. His marriage is a joke, his kids hate him, and Berk suffers under his leadership. Life was better when Toothless and Leandra were with him, and they flew together under the sky—just enjoyed being together. Yet even his dragon left him. And the girl he realized too late, he loved had moved on a long time ago. But sometimes life gives you a second chance. Unofficial Sequel from To Belong
Okay, I really have a problem, but when my plotbunnies plot I have to write it down and publish it to see if somebody likes it. Again if you liked To Belong, don't read it, but if you want Leandra and Hiccup together, that's the fic for you :D
Chapter 1: Regrete and Betrayel
Hiccup made a face as Astrid stormed out of the house with their kids.
They had (again) a fight over how they could expand the Trade Routes for New Berk.
Astrid wanted to do it the old Viking way and just pillage weaker tribes, but Hiccup wanted a more diplomatic approach.
It had worked for them in past.
This had made his wife's famous anger appear.
Why couldn't he do once something the Viking way?
No wonder the other chiefs took him not seriously.
Which in turn made Astrid as chieftess look bad and when something the proud Hofferson (in this moment she called herself not even Haddock anymore) hated was appearing weak.
Equally angry Hiccup shot back he never did things the Viking way, that's why they had made peace with the dragons and had lived good years with them.
And she...she really dared to say he should let go of this!
The dragons (Toothless, oh buddy) wouldn't return, Hiccup needed to become a real Viking now.
He had shouted back, that she knew he was never the perfect Viking, why did she then marry him?!
Why was she even together with him, if she hated so much his un-vikingness?
Astrid had been for a second still.
A second which was an eternity for Hiccup.
Till she answered...she didn't know anymore.
Punching him in the face would have been mercifully than her words.
Once, she said, he had been this cool boy who showed her another way of living, but he needed to grow up finally and lead the tribe like a real Viking.
Striking him down with her axt (the axt he so loving took care of for her) would have been merciful.
It was then that Hiccup realized...had he never taken Astrid on her first dragon flight with Toothless, she would never have taken an interest in him.
He was still the weak, dumb, useless fishbone in her eyes.
The young chief told her this and he saw for a moment the truth in her eyes, before she lied, saying how wrong he was.
She wanted to help him nothing more.
He just told her to get out.
Get out of the house.
The house he had built for them.
Astrid had been furious, they shouted and screamed at each other very unkind things, before she took the kids and slammed the door shut behind her.
Zephyr and Nuffink hadn't even looked at him or told their mother they wanted to stay with him.
Hiccup had noted how his kids came more after Astrid.
Of course, no love was lost on their side too.
Defeat Hiccup sit down on a chair and let the tears flow.
He hated all this.
He hated his life.
How he wished he could tell his younger self that the few years he had with Toothless would have been the best in his life and he should have never let his bud go.
What was he thinking?
They fought so long to live with dragons in peace and then just let them go to the Hidden World?
It sounded like a bad book!
The brunette man wiped his tears and signed.
He shouldn't think about this.
No one could change their past.
You could only move forward.
What a load of crap!
The gods really hated him.
Giving him a hellish life, a few wonderful years and then back at the hellish part.
What did he do to deserve this?
Oh you know why!, hissed a voice inside him. You chose Astrid over Leandra who truly loved you. Don't be surprised that is how it ended.
He had to agree with his inner thoughts.
He had realized way too late and did nothing when he admitted his feelings for the Spanish girl to himself.
Her Goodbye Letter was still his most precious possession, along with scales from Toothless.
Tired emotionally from the day, Hiccup decides to go to bed.
You couldn't change the past.

On the other side of the globe, Leandra was facing a storm with Starchaser, but the storm in her heart was worse.
How could Xia do this?
How could have she been so stupid?
Her wife had betrayed her.
Xia's family had never liked how Leandra had "seduced" Xia to a life of sin. That was what same-sex relationships were for them.
But...but Xia had chosen her.
They had married and adopted children.
Six girls and four boys!
They had lived years with Starchaser happily in a little village near the Silk Road where they were accepted.
Then as all the kids were grown she thought, she and Xia would continue to be happy.
Yet, after Ulf, Leandra's brother, visited them, the next days her wife had been weird.
Asking her about Hiccup, if she still had feelings for him...Leandra was speechless.
And maybe that moment in which she stared in disbelief at her wife, had made Xia lose trust in her.
Other than that she couldn't explain why she found her wife, with the owner of the noodle shop in their bed!
Leandra had screamed, nearly returned to her old ways as an assassin, but Starchaser stopped her.
They grabbed their things and left China.
Her wedding ring she had thrown into the ocean.
Shall Xia be happy with her noodle guy!
Leandra was done.
She should have never left the brotherhood and lived a normal life. In her veins flowed the blood of the First Civilization, making her a perfect assasin.
And how she had loved the Levithan Brotherhood and Syria.
Her mentor, her brothers and sisters in arms.
She had been born for this life...but for her Xia, she had given it up.
Because she loved her.
What a foul she had been.
Now she and Starchaser were homeless.
Flying from one place to another.
Leandra was unsure if she could join the Assassin Ranks again.
She may still train, but wasn't she too old now?
Or didn't want her to face her once family after she left them?
Signing Leandra told Starchaser to dive down.
She had seen a cave where they could rest.
After they made themselves comfortable, the last dragon rider and her dragon fell asleep.
While Leandra was thrifting off she remembered Ulf's words: "Come visit me and father and Sigrùn. They miss you, Leandra."
Back then she had laughed, why should she return to the Barbaric Archipelago?
Why should she step foot in New Berk?
She was happy, so she sent Ulf with words of love back there.
However...maybe seeing family would be good again.
Leandra decides to talk with Starchaser in the morning about this.
For now, she dreams of a time were she was still young, for the first time experience flying on Starchaser...with Hiccup and Toothless by their side.
