History Fanfic / TheDragonAndTheButterfly

* RunningGag: People reacting with laughter and exasperation when Hiccup tells people his {{Unfortunate Name|s}}.

* GodGuise: Tuffnut and Ruffnut end up mistaking Camilo as Loki, the Norse God of Mischief, and offers to be his servants. While he goes along with it since this means stealing him snacks, it eventually escalates into [[DeadlyPrank pranks that could kill someone]].

* LethalChef: When the Madrigals try Berk's "tough and tasteless" cuisine, they immediately break into hysterics about how inedible it is. Even Hiccup complains, having spent a year subsisting on Julieta's cooking.

'''Mirabel''': It's a crime. It's a crime in the form of a chicken leg.
'''Luisa''': I miss ''m-mooom...''

* ImproperlyParanoid: When Hiccup finds out that the Madrigal House is alive, it set him on edge to the point where he's worried it would ''eat'' him. It isn't until they finishing rebuilding Casita does he mellow out.

* MythologyGag: While the ''How to Train Your Dragon'' elements are from the movie, Hiccup's AtrociousAlias -- "Hiccup the Useless" -- is from the [[Literature/HowToTrainYourDragon book series]].

* UnskilledButStrong: When the Madrigals do battle with Stoick's party, they are able to overwhelm them with their various gifts. Unfortunately for them, none of the Madrigals are fighters and are [[CripplingOverspecialization one-trick ponies]] when it comes to using their abilities defensively, while the Vikings [[StrongAndSkilled are all stronger and have more fighting experience]], so all they have to do is tough it out until the Madrigals exhaust themselves.

* BrainBleach: When the Madrigals are in combat with Stoick's party, a heavily armed Tuffnut gangs up on Bruno, Bruno has a vision, telling him that his sister will get together with Fishlegs. Tuffnut is so horrified by this revelation, he faints.

* TestosteronePoisoning: {{Deconstruction}}. The Vikings are a ProudWarriorRace and their first instinct when it comes to solving problems is either toughing it out or AppealToForce. The first part is put to the test when the absence of the Night Fury in her army had caused the Red Death to up the number of dragon raids, turning Berk from a ramshackle town into a certifiable shanty town, Stoick and Gobber to lost in their own heads with grief to be any help. Astrid manages to locate the nest after ignoring her killer instincts and uses Hiccup's dragon training notes. When Astrid manages to get Stoick, Gobber and the other teens to Hiccup's location at the Encanto, they try all try many variations on the "come with us, be real Viking ''or else''" and all it does is make it harder and harder for them to bring Hiccup along to help them. It's after they learn to drop their hardened stoicism and appeal to his empathy does he finally agree to go back to help them.

* NotThatKindOfMage: When both Hiccup and Stoick's party experience Madrigal-magic for the first time, they immediately assume that they're a family of witches and warlocks. The Madrigals are quick to correct them on this, Isabela in particular being called a "witch" offensive.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: As bad as canon!Hiccup had it, he shrugs off a lot of the hardships he had in the first film after going from zero to hero. This version had it ''much'' worse. Firstly he had to rescue Toothless from a public execution, rather than being used as a tool to find the nest. 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. This even leads to him trying to keep Mirabel from confessing her feelings to him under the assumption that he would somehow hurt her beyond repair. By the time the Madrigals meet Stoick and the others, they are all immediately hostile towards him just from the number of times they had to help Hiccup move on from their abuse.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Hiccup and Isabela devolve into this, their bad first impression cooling over into a duo that tolerate each other for Mirabel's sake.
