The story might be set in a post - apocalyptic world where all the old kingdoms and tribes have been reshaped. Hiccup and Merida are leaders of their respective groups. They form an alliance to fight against a common enemy. During their time together, they grow close, and the kiss is a sign of their unity and the start of a new era for their people.
Maybe in the fanfiction, there's some sort of magic involved. A spell gone wrong that makes Hiccup and Merida the only ones who can break it. As they search for a solution together, they develop a strong bond. The kiss could be the key to breaking the spell, symbolizing their combined power and new - found love.
Well, it could be a story where Hiccup and Merida are from different kingdoms or tribes. They meet by chance, perhaps during a diplomatic event. Their initial interactions are filled with misunderstandings because of their different cultures. But as they get to know each other better, they start to see the good in one another. And then, the kiss could be a moment of realization of their deepening feelings, a moment that bridges the gap between their two worlds.
First, you need to understand the characters well. Hiccup is known for his intelligence and ability to connect with dragons, while Merida is strong - willed and an excellent archer. Incorporate these traits into their interactions. For example, Hiccup could use his knowledge to help Merida in a situation, and she could show her courage in return. When it comes to the kiss, build up the tension gradually. Don't rush it.
They might start off as rivals. Merida is used to being independent and in charge, and Hiccup has his own leadership style with the dragons. But as they get to know each other, they realize they can work together. For instance, they could go on a quest to find a magical item that is said to bring peace to both their lands.
The plot could center around a competition. Hiccup is invited to Merida's land for a friendly contest. They both enter different events. Hiccup in a dragon - riding competition and Merida in an archery tournament. Along the way, they learn from each other's strengths and overcome their own weaknesses. They also have to deal with a cheating competitor who is trying to undermine the spirit of the competition.
Another fanfiction could start with Merida getting lost in the Viking lands. Hiccup finds her and at first, they have a bit of a misunderstanding because of their different cultures. But as they spend time together, Hiccup helps Merida understand the ways of the Vikings and Merida teaches Hiccup some of her own skills, like how to better track in the forest. Eventually, they become good friends and help each other out in various adventures in the Viking world.
One possible plot could be that Merida and Hiccup meet at a grand gathering of different kingdoms. At first, they are a bit wary of each other. But as they start to talk about their shared love for adventure and their experiences with their respective mythical creatures (Merida with her bear and Hiccup with Toothless), they begin to form a connection. They then go on a quest together to save both their lands from a common threat, and during this time, their relationship deepens into love.
Adventure is also a big theme. Since both characters are known for their adventurous spirits in their respective movies. Fanfictions often involve them going on quests or facing challenges together, which strengthens their bond and love for each other. For example, they might team up to fight a common enemy or explore a new, mysterious land.
Another theme could be the relationship dynamics. Their relationship might grow stronger as they face this new chapter together. There could also be some conflict, perhaps from their families or the different cultures they come from in their respective movies. Maybe Merida's family has certain expectations, and Hiccup's Viking tribe has its own ideas about pregnancy and family.
One possible plot could be that Hiccup, while on a journey with Toothless, somehow gets transported to Elsa's world. He stumbles upon Elsa as she is trying to control her powers in a difficult situation. Hiccup, with his experience dealing with dragons, offers her a different perspective on handling her powers. They gradually grow closer as they share their stories and in a moment of deep connection, they share a kiss.
Maybe it turns out that Merida's magic has a connection to the dragons in Hiccup's world. When she first arrives in his land, she accidentally awakens an ancient and powerful dragon that was thought to be just a legend. This dragon is both a danger and a key to solving a bigger mystery that has been plaguing Hiccup's village. And Merida has to learn to control her new - found connection to the dragon with Hiccup's help.
Romance is also a big theme. Writers love to explore how their relationship develops, from the initial meeting where they might be a bit wary of each other, to gradually falling in love as they discover each other's strengths and similarities. For example, they both have a strong sense of independence and a love for their respective homes.
