Added DiffLines:

* AdoptionConflict: The premise of the fic is that Hiccup and Toothless flee Berk before Toothless could show Hiccup the nest, and that the two end up in the Encanto. They are practically adopted by the Madrigal family, especially after Hiccup and Mirabel become a couple. Stoick, Gobber, and the Viking teens eventually come to the Encanto looking for Hiccup. He claims that the Madrigals can't keep Hiccup from him because he's his biological father... leading to every single Madrigal calling him out for his emotional abuse and neglect of Hiccup (which he'd told them about). Agustin even tells him, to his face, "You won't lay a finger on my boy!"
** Made more complicated when [[spoiler:Valka reappears and visits the Encanto for the first time. Julieta is disgusted at Valka for leaving her family, and ends up telling her to her face that Hiccup is ''Julieta's'' son because Valka didn't want him.]]

Ultimately averted, as WordOfGod states in the chapter notes It's later made clear that this is not the case.she thinks Mirabel looks so carefree that she had to have been pampered and spoiled her entire life, and hates having to interact with someone who seemingly has never suffered and probably looks down on her. She apologizes when she learns that Mirabel has self-worth issues.



* LaserGuidedKarma: Hiccup's exile from Berk is celebrated as one more wimp and traitor gone from their midst. Within a month, their village is in shambles since without Hiccup, Gobber lacks the manpower or will to make armor to protect them from dragon attacks.

They aren't; they're actually wanting to talk about the complications that come with joining the Madrigal family and being surrounded by people with gifts (including your future children!). However, thanks largely to Valentina's input, the conversation still veers toward being a sex talk.

Hiccup and Toothless both escape Berk after he is outed as a "traitor".

After making a home in the Encanto, Hiccup is ImproperlyParanoid at the thought that one false move or bad decision will cause everyone to hate him.
