How to Train Your Dragon/Ships

= Astrunzel =  Astrunzel is the femslash ship between Astrid and Rapunzel from the How to Train Your Dragon and Tangled fandoms.

Canon
Rapunzel and Astrid never met due to Astrid being a DreamWorks character, while Rapunzel is a Disney character.

Their other common and similar traits is that both Astrid and Rapunzel have blond hair that they have worn in a braid, have defeated their homes and the places they've been to with their friends by their sides, wield a metal made type of weapon, an axe and frying pan as their signer weapons of choice and have used other types of weapons when needed to, and have been on a type of treasure hunt with their friends. They have also spend time on a ship they had sailed on to cross the sea, whenever they aren't traveling through the air.

Fanon
Astrunzel is a rarer femslash ship in the  crossover fandom and it's sub fandoms. It is sometimes shipped alongside Hijack and it ships Eugunzel and Hiccstrid. Since in canon, Astrid and Rapunzel end up with Hiccup and Flynn/Eugene, fan works vary on how the two are single at the start of the works. Some write Rapunzel being fascinated with Astrid's dragon, Stromfly.

In some Viking AUs, fans sometimes have the two swap places. There have been manips and fanart with the two in each others clothing. On AO3, the ship only has 5 fanfics on it. As well as the ship having small fanbases on both DeviantArt and Tumblr.

Trivia

 * Both of their films came out in 2010, and have their own follow-up TV series that takes place after their first films and lead up to the events that take place in How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Tangled Ever After.

= Heatheret =  Heatheret is the het ship between Heather and Eret, Son of Eret from the How to Train Your Dragon fandom.

Canon
Despite the fact that both Heather and Eret are part of the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, Heather has only been seen in its DreamWorks Dragons TV series while Eret is mainly part of its second and third films, and along with Eret appearing in graphic novels that take place after the second film, the two have never met one another in canon. Even though the online game, School of Dragons, does have their SoD counterparts crossing paths with one another in its expansion packs.

Both Eret and Heather have dark-colored hair and were working for an antagonist when they first met Hiccup and his friends, Alvin the Treacherous and Drago Bludvist, along with Heather working beside Dagur the Deranged and the Dragon Hunters when she departed from the Dragon Riders a second time, as the two help their villain allies to capture, harm and use dragons for their own gain. Which made it one of the main reasons why Astrid wasn't originally very fond of the two when they first met and didn't like them being near Stormfly. With help from Hiccup, Toothless and their dragons, Heather and Eret were able to see dragons in a new light and began to see them as their friends, along with being able to find and train their own dragon partners, Windshear and Skullcrusher. Along with them riding Stormfly with Astrid when she began to view that as allies before they got to ride Windshear and Skullcrusher for the first time. Heather had saved Windshear after she was injured when she first met her and had also saved the Razorwhip from the Dragon Hunters a few times, while Skullcrusher chose Eret to be his new rider after the former Dragon Trapper helps Hiccup and Toothless to free him and the other dragons from the gray Bewilderbeast's control, and Eret had also helped to save the Rumblehorn and Berk's other dragons from the Warlords. After Heather's adoptive parents were saved from Alvin, along with her uncovering who her brother is three years later, she uses her brother's alliance with the Dragons Hunters in order to spy on them for her Dragon Rider friends, while Eret uses his Dragon Trapper knowledge to help Hiccup and Astrid identify the Dragon Hunter who had set that trap for Toothless.

Their friendship with Hiccup and the dragons have given Eret and Heather a few things that they wouldn't have gotten on their own. Like a place on Berk and in its main Dragon Rider team, using their skills and knowledge to help many people and dragons, and friends who will come to their aid when needed. Eret has also gotten a dragon-scaled armour suit that is made out of Skullcrusher's sheded scales, while Heather's Race to the Edge look like that it was made with some of Windshear's iron-like scales. Heather and Eret have also been captured a few times by Hiccup and their allies side, along with them helping the Dragon Riders to escape before facing the people who had placed them in a type of cage. Along with the two being shown to be well skilled fighters who wield a type of bladed weapon, a double-headed axe, and a sword. Before they met Windshear and Skullcrusher, Heather and Eret had to travel by boat.

Fanon
Even though the two have never met in canon, it hasn't stopped fans from shipping them in fanon where they do have Eret and Heather meeting and befriending one another through after or before the events of How to Train Your Dragon 2. As the Dragon Hunters that Heather "spend time with" have silently hinted that they are somehow connected to Drago Bludvist, in which could have Heather crossing paths with Eret during his Dragon Trapper days.

On AO3, the ship has 6 fanfics on it, while fanfiction.net has 24 with only 5 listed under pairing.

= Dagala =  Dagala is the het ship between Dagur and Mala from the How to Train Your Dragon fandom.

Canon
Both Dagur and Mala's tribes have a dragon, a Skrill and Eruptodon, as their mark, and have at first had a hostile relationship with Hiccup and his friends until they become allies. Male's tribe protect and worship dragons, while Dagur had began to see them in a kinder light after he left the Dragon Hunters, before they had attacked Mala's home island. Around that time, Mala had met and befriended Dagur's younger sister Heather.

The two eventually meet each other in the events of "Chain of Command", where they didn't get along with each other and the long wait for Hiccup and the Wingmaidens' arrival didn't help. Since they needed Dagur and Mala to get along in order for their alliance against the Dragon Hunters, the already attending Dragon Riders work to help them over come their differences. After their first a few attempts failed, Ruffnut and Tuffnut's late plan did allow Dagur and Mala to see each other in a new light. Which got the two to wonder why they had even began to argue with each other earlier on.

Due to the traditions of Mala's tribe, she has Dagur go through a get of challenges that will give him the right to make him her king. After Dagur passes all of them, the two made their way to Dragon's Edge so they can tell the dragon riders the happy news of their engagement. Dagur was worried about it at first, but after telling Hiccup how Mala makes him feel helps Dagur to clam his worries. After the Dragon Hunters were defeated and the Dragon King under Dagur's home island, as well as its egg, were safe from them, Dagur and Mala have their wedding. That Dagur shaved for, and had his first dragon as their ring bearer. Since Mala's tribe defends dragons and it makes sense to have Shattermaster be apart of their wedding.

= Hicclena =  Hicclena is the het ship between Hiccup and Elena from the How to Train Your Dragon and Elena of Avalor fandoms.

Canon
Hiccup and Elena never meet due to Hiccup being a DreamWorks character, while Elena is a Disney character.

Both Hiccup and Elena are very close to flying creatures, dragons and Jaquins, that they ride and live along side the rest of their people. Elena's world is filled with magical artifacts, while Hiccup's has ordinary golden treasure and a unique artifact that possesses dragon knowledge, when it is lit by a dragon's flame. Before Hiccup found the Dragon Eye he and his friends had relayed on Bork's Book of Dragons and have updated it with their new dragon discoveries, Elena's friend, Mateo, has a magical knowledge version of it known as the Codex Maru as helps them to understand the magic in their world.

Fanon
Some believe that the ship began sometime after Elena of Avalor, or the Sofia the First television film that serves as the beginning of the series, became popular, like the How to Train Your Dragon film franchise is, or from when fans began to compare the similar traits between Hiccup and Elena together, and believe that they can have the two get along with each other. As lovers or friends.

A few fans have Hiccup coming across Avalor, where he meets and friends Elena, or have the princess traveling to (old or new) Berk for when the island is featured as one of her kingdom's allies. Where either of the two locations have them bonding over the friendships they have with Dragons and Jaquins.

= Meristrid =  Meristrid is the femslash ship between Merida and Astrid from the Brave and How to Train Your Dragon fandoms. AKA: Astrida

Canon
Merida and Astrid never meet due to Astrid being a DreamWorks character, while Merida is a Pixar character.

Both Astrid and Merida have short fusses when their anger gets the better of them which sometimes gets them or their allies into trouble.

Fanon
Meristrid a rarer pair in the  crossover fandom and its sub-fandoms. In a few Brave/Celtic and How to Train Your Dragon/Viking AUs, fans have Merida as Astrid and Astrid as Merida. Along with a few manip fanart featuring the two in each other's clothing for those AUs.

Despite there being fans who rival Meristid with both Mericcup and Hiccstrid, as Astrid and Merida fight each other for Hiccup's heart, there are a few fanwork that have the two as friends, allies and sister in arms. Some fanfics have Astrid's tribe being enemies of DunBroch, commonly in Mericcup as their leaders and families/friends work to create peace between their people and lands. The same analogy can be used in Meristid.

On AO3, the ship has 14 fanfics in total, while fanfiction.net has 54 with only 1 placed under pairing. The ship also has a reasonable size fanbase on both Tumblr and Deviantart.

= Moaccup =  Moaccup is the het ship between Moana Waialiki and Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III from the Moana and How to Train Your Dragon fandoms.

Canon
Moana and Hiccup never meet due to Hiccup being a DreamWorks character, while Moana is a Disney character.

The two are adventurous and not afraid to fight, as well as them becoming the new chiefs of their people and tribes at the end of their movies. Deep down both of their father's want to keep their children safe from the main dangers of their worlds and that they'll be ready to take up their roles, and even though they had came with special meaning plans for their heirs since they had opened their eyes for the first time, begin Hiccup's training at a young age and showing Moana the mountain that their ancestors have placed their stones on. Which is why Hiccup and Moana try to live up to their fathers' exploitations and their tribes' long held ways of life. When they were finally able to change their fathers and the rest of their people's minds, Hiccup helps Stoick to understand dragons and how he too can ride one, just as Moana teaches Tui the Wayfinder skills that their voyaging ancestors had used to discover their former home island, as they search for a new home island.

Fanon
The ship is believed to have began sometime before or after Moana was released in theaters. It is part of of the  fandom and its sub-fandoms.

Many see Hiccup has a male version of Moana, since they have many things in common that relate to their island lives, the relationships they have with their fathers, being born leaders and have life style changing thoughts that their people didn't agree with at first. There have even been a few Moaccup music ship videos, where one of their commonly featured songs in them is "Rewrite the Stars" from The Greatest Showman. A few prefer to ship them as friends or for them to have a sibling-like bond.

On AO3, the ship only has one fanfic, while FanFiction.Net has four. The ship also has a small fanbase on Tumblr, DeviantArt and YouTube.
