Nice job, lady! I like how Hiccup is now taller than Gudrid and that he still has the ragged clothes and long hair and dirty appearance from before- just not the injuries.
Nice, touch, too, Gudrid was crying. Hiccup's eyes are closed, so he'll never know. What a chick! It's so sad that she, like many other wonderful people, never gets the love she deserves- just helps others to discover their own destinies.
I don't find it creepy that Gudrid could be the Elder and is kissing Hiccup. True, she'd never do that in real life, but at this unreal moment they are similar in age, and they are of a similar attraction and personality. So they are enjoying a moment that never could happen based on their real timelines.

I am the same way regarding lovey dovey stuff. I find a lot of it much too overdone for me.
I have to admit I like it when a romance happens in a story, but I prefer to see it come about as part of the plot, not the main plot (as it is in fwuff stories- ugh), and that it is based on friendship first rather than drama and heightened emotion- kind of like some relationships I've seen that I really admire. The couple in question loves each other, but they are low key about it and often gently jokingly teasing each other- but then they do all these nice things to support each other.
That's the kind of romance I like.
I will have to paint it someday, Hiccup and whatever, but it will be more like this than lovey dovey.
I agree on the injuries. The story even mentioned that the injuries don't come over onto this plane.
I think, myself, when Hiccup finds out about it (if she is Gudrid), he'll understand totally. He's grown up a lot on this trip and he'll probably see her with a whole different respect and compassion than before. They'll probably be very good friends and leaders for their community in a bittersweet sort of way- provided Hiccup stays in Berk. Who knows- maybe he'll spend his days with Toothless wandering the world and learning/aiding/teaching.

love is just...eh
Don't have much of an opinionon it.
Hiccup will definetely mature alot in this story and there's no doubt that he'll get a lot more street smart and wise. But I don't hink he'll stay in Berk, he's seen too much of the world, and he knows there's a lot more to see. For him to stay in one place sounds too boring and tamed for him. He needs adventure.

Yes, I agree on that about Hiccup. Also, outliving those around you would mean you have less roots. Toothless would literally become all the home he needs. And, I can vouch for it that once you start traveling it's hard to give it up.
What you said reminds me of a quote from the Viking poem "Havamal"- sayings of the Wise One. It goes something like "Only the man who who far has traveled can claim to truly understand Man."

Unless, he has kids, only then would he settle down for a bit but then he would probably just take his kids with him. Staying one place is torture for someone like Hiccup who constantly needs something new to experiance, see, and learn.
