* AWizardDidIt: The lack of a LanguageBarrier when the Vikings and Columbians communicate is just hand-waved away as another perk of the Madrigal's Miracle. Written language is played straight and Hiccup needs Mirabel to translate and learn their alphabet.

* GenerationXerox: Applies in two different forms to [[spoiler:Hiccup and Mirabel's triplets. Firstly, when they are about to be born, the rest of the family place bets on what the children will be- three boys, three girls, or a combination- with Bruno, Julieta and Pepa correctly betting that it will be two girls and a boy based on the precedent that they were the triplet children of the last Candle Holder and anticipate a similar 'sequence'. Later on, when the triplets have their gift ceremony, their youngest daughter Peep doesn't get her own gift, but unlike with Mirabel here everyone swiftly acts to accept her, Mirabel proclaiming that Peep will be the next Candle Holder]].
* GoodParents: All of the Madrigal adults are depicted as this in the story (although Alma leans more towards ParentsAsPeople). Julieta and Augustin in particular are quick to serve as surrogate parental figures for Hiccup (especially after learning that Stoick disowned him). By the time he's been in the Encanto for a year, every Madrigal adult willingly calls Hiccup a member of the family and defends him.

** A mild example can be seen in Hiccup and Stoick. Despite having different beliefs, mindsets, and even appearances, the two are both stubborn men (something pointed out by both Mirabel and Gobber) who will do anything to protect the ones they love.

* TheKindnapper: Stoick and (initially) Gobber believe that bringing Hiccup back to Berk is in the boy's best interest...unaware that Hiccup and Toothless have built a happy life in the Encanto that they won't willingly leave. Gobber quickly realizes that they're in the wrong when he sees how happy Hiccup truly is with the Madrigals, and tries his best to talk Stoick into leaving.

* PapaBear: Agustin is willing to stand up to ANYONE if it means protecting his kids [[spoiler: including his son-in-law]]. Stoick also applies, as he was willing to spend months on end sailing the archipelago (and then to Colombia) to find Hiccup, as well as fight the Madrigals when he thought they were holding him hostage.



* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When the Madrigals claim Hiccup as their own, Stoick retorts that he's Hiccup's biological father. This causes Mirabel to mercilessly tear into him, calling him out for his horrible treatment of Hiccup, stating that Hiccup is more loved in the Encanto than he ever was on Berk, and finishes with a PrecisionFStrike (startling the Vikings and Abuela while [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Camilo cracks up.]])

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 [[VictoryByEndurance tough it out until the Madrigals exhaust themselves]].

* CutenessProximity: The various Madrigal's reactions in learning about Hiccup and Mirabel's mutual crushes on each other can be summed up in a {{Squee}} because of just how ''goddamn cute'' they think it is.

By the time he's been in the Encanto for a year, every adult willingly calls Hiccup a member of the family and defends him.

** After Toothless tells him about the Red Death, Antonio is left sad about the situation yet terrified of the Queen. Toothless comforts him by telling him that they'll never have to deal with the Red Death. A few months later, Hiccup, Toothless and a few Madrigals head off to Berk to fight the Dragon Queen.

Face Heel Turn is good to evil


* AbusiveParents: Stoick qualifies, although [[FaceHeelTurn he gets better]]. As in canon, the chief neglects his son (allowing him to be chastised and beaten by the rest of their people) and disowns him once he's discovered to be a "traitor". His HeroicBSOD helps him see how wrong his actions were, and he spends the majority of the Berk arc trying to reconnect with Hiccup.

* TookALevelInKindness: Astrid and Snotlout start out the fic exactly as they were at the start of the first HTTYD movie (with Snotlout even celebrating Hiccup's leaving by [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing trying to throw a party]]). However, much like in the franchise, bonding with dragons (and the Madrigals) changes them both for the better. [[spoiler:Snotlout even apologizes to Hiccup (and later Isabela) for his behavior, to the shock of everyone]]

This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** After spending a full month without flying, a lot of Toothless's flying muscles had atrophied slightly, resulting in him and Hiccup struggling to get back into the air without relearning how to do it.
** Being in Viking Era Scandinavia, tropical fruits like bananas are very rare and end up in high demand, Berk and Eret's village developing a boom in their economy trading them to other villages in the Barbaric Archipelago.
