Two Fateful Nights

"Ugh, you are SO immature!" Keith yelled. His face was turning as red as his jacket, a thought that amused Lance for a moment, but he decided that if he valued his life he probably shouldn't make a crack about it at the present moment. "I fail to see how I'm being immature," Lance retorted. "You're the one yelling." "Well I'm not the one who spent $200 on an action figure!" Keith panted, trying to catch his breath between the yelling and the seething anger boiling up inside of him. "It's mint in box! It's a collectable and it'll be worth a fortune one day!" Lance insisted, but Keith was still having none of it. "Even if it will we don't h

Hiccup On Ice (HiJack)(YOI AU)

To say Hiccup was nervous would be the understatement of the century. He was scared, terrified, petrified. As he walked the halls of the skating arena he had to take several deep breaths to calm himself, but now all of the deep breathing was making him lightheaded. He tried to focus on the music in his ear and the presence of his coach behind him but it wasn't helping much considering the music in his ear was the music he would be doing his first routine to. Hiccup hadn't skated last season and that was part of the reason that he was so nervous. The other part was that he would be competing with one major disadvantage: a prosthetic left leg.

The 7 Deadly Sins (HiJack Week)

Hiccup was still outside on the street, waiting in line to enter the popular club, but he could already feel the bass from the music in his chest. "Crews" the sign on the outside of the old, blue-painted converted house read. It was Hiccup's favourite club in the city. He enjoyed that the monotony of dancing was broken up by the drag show on stage, and that would be especially appreciated today since he was all alone. Astrid had promised that she and Heather would come with him tonight but the pair had suddenly come down with the flu and couldn't make it out of the house. Hiccup, who had already prepared to go out by the time he'd received th

The Life You Thought You Knew: Epilogue

FOUR MONTHS LATER Many tears were shed by all of the adults as the boys loaded the last of their bags into the trunk of their taxi, the driver waiting patiently to take them to the airport. Today they would finally be off to England for the start of the semester, settling in just a week before classes were set to start. They received their fifth round of hugs from the adults while Aster just laughed in the background, as he had been doing the whole time. "Finally I'll get some peace and bloody quiet around here!" He had been celebrating for almost a week, but little did he know that the boys had left one last surprise for him for after they

The Life You Thought You Knew: Chapter 18

"They're here! They're here," Hiccup all but squealed when he saw the mail come in, several envelopes with university crests on them in the stack. While Hiccup was through the roof with elation just looking at the sealed envelopes, Jack didn't understand Hiccup's enthusiasm; sure they were about to learn whether or not they got into the university programs that they had applied for, but this level of excitement seemed unwarranted. Hiccup stood there for nearly a minute simply staring at the envelopes, and Jack jokingly wondered to himself if Hiccup knew that he was allowed to open them. He counted four envelopes in Hiccup's hand, which was od

The Life You Thought You Knew: Chapter 17

It had been three days. Three days and absolutely no change whatsoever. Sure the boys had had their conversation on the matter, but nothing had really changed in their relationship. Hiccup supposed Jack was having the same problem he was, which was truly dating his best friend. Sure they had agreed that if anything had gone wrong they would 'reset' back to that night and simply be friends once more, but that did little to break down the barrier that currently sat between them. Hiccup kind of wanted to get the ball rolling, but Jack seemed to have become even more secluded when it came to bringing up the topic and he had no idea what to do. "

One Last Goodbye (HiJack Week)

Hiccup had begged Jack not to go. It had only been a few hours ago and he remembered it well. Jack had insisted on one last skate on the pond, but Hiccup thought the weather had been to warm recently for the ice to be thick enough. Jack had given him his signature smile, said it would be fine, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and left. Now it wasn't Jack but a police officer at the door, telling Hiccup that Jack wouldn't be coming home. When Hiccup closed the door his original shock wore off and he collapsed. He broke into tears, his inability to breathe between the sobs causing a searing pain in his chest. He couldn't see through the tears, he

The Life You Thought You Knew: Chapter 16

Neither teenager said anything the next day, or at any point that week. However, whether they recognized it or not, their actions around each other had started to change. Hugs lasted a few seconds longer; glances lingered even longer than they had before. Over the days that had past, the boys had also unknowingly had the same conversations within their own heads. They were as close as brothers. They called the same women "mom". They were best friends. But that was also what kept them from dropping the idea: they were just friends. There was no relation there, which may have been part of the reason that they had started to become attracted to

The Life You Thought You Knew: Chapter 15

As the days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months, the anniversary of that fateful weekend snuck up on everyone without them even realizing. As the time passed Hiccup could see Jack and even Valka becoming more accustomed to living in their shared accommodations, to the point where it legitimately seemed like they were willing to call their new house a home. Valka had become akin to a godsend to North and Toothiana, helping the house run more smoothly than ever and removing immense amounts of stress from their lives. Jack and Hiccup had grown closer as well, coming to consider each other best friends. Granted the situation was ac

It was after dinner when the boys returned to their room on Tuesday, preparing to baby sit the Bennett children. Jack had told Hiccup that he normally brought a couple of board games over since Jamie and Sophie had a larger electronic game stash than physical game collection, and today especially most video games would be out since there would be a last minute addition to the party. As it turned out, the Bennetts were going out with Snotlout's parents, and Snotlout would be at a friend's for the night. They had arranged a baby sitter for Adelaide, however the sitter had backed out at the last minute. Instead of forcing the adults to cancel t

hey I wanted to ask you for writing tips if thats ok?......how do you do dialogues in your stories. my bbf and i are writing our own fanfic and i'm working on the first pages right now but when it comes to short conversations or my characters just saying like "OMG" or something i'm just afraid i'm not doing it right....any tips???

Of course that's OK

So dialogues were hard for me at the beginning, but I found a few good tips. First is to know that dialogue, including a bunch of short lines in rapid succession, is fine and it can be unavoidable. The trick is how you write it though. For example, take this dialogue:
"Hey."
"Hey, what's up?"
"Sarah dumped me."
"Oh I'm sorry Matt."
Short, quick, basic, too much of it gets boring to read, and adding "Matt said" after two of them isn't enough. So you need to add in the senses. What are they doing? What are they seeing? Are they moving? Is something happening in the background? If you can act it out with someone else that's even better. Try and get into it. Then add in the small detail and it can come out like this:

"Hey," Matt greeted, his eyes downcast.
"Hey, what's up?" Jason responded, concern lacing his voice as he took a step closer.
"Sarah dumped me." Jason's heart broke for Matt. He had really liked the girl and he was clearly upset. He wrapped his friend in a hug, rubbing his back slowly in an attempt to console his grieving buddy.
"Oh I'm sorry Matt," was all he could think to say. Just then Matt's phone started to ring and Jason pulled away.

So on and so forth. Basically make sure you don't forget to write int he surroundings. A few lines here or there without it is fine, but don't let it get away from you. Happy writing!
