    Summary

    “What?” Astrid interrupts his train of thought, smile gone, replaced with her usual neutral look. Or almost usual, because the curious crease in her eyebrows isn’t typical.

    Hiccup’s eyes go wide. “Uh…”

    “Why are you staring at me?” she asks. She tilts her head curiously, like she’s trying to study him. Another new thing that both makes him squirm under her gaze while melting his brain down.

    “I wasn’t —“

    “Hiccup.”

    “I…” There’s no point in lying, not to Astrid. “I, uh, really like your smile.”

    Summary

    The rumor around Berk is that the council is pressuring Stoick about Hiccup's bachelor status. When Astrid comes home to visit, she has a little sit down with her mom and aunt and gets some advice and perspective on the matter.

    One gives practical advice, the other gives filthy advice.

    This is fanfiction, so obviously Astrid takes the filthy advice.

    Summary

    "Exile still seems the best option, Stoick..."

    Stoick should have known better. While he didn't know much about his son-especially now-he knew the boy was clever. It should have been no surprise when a guard burst into the Council Meeting and revealed that Hiccup had escaped the cell Stoick put him in...hours after the boy was revealed to have saddled a dragon.

    Hiccup is gone, and so is the beast.

    They search, but do not find him. Berk falls asleep one night and awakens in the Great Hall, where the torches come to life and cast an image of their isle on the wall, from which floats Hiccup's voice, years younger.

    AKA, Hiccup forfeited the final challenge, leaving Astrid with the right to kill the Nightmare. Story picks up in the Race to the Edge era, except Berk never learned the truth of dragons, no one knows how Hiccup really lost his leg, and stories of a hooded 'vigilante' riding a Night Fury have been long whispered...and Berk will see it all unfold.

    Stoick the Vast and Berk watch How to Train Your Dragon...and beyond.

    Summary


    a desperate human is far more dangerous than any dragon

    When given a choice between all he's ever known, and the wilderness beyond it, Hiccup chooses the latter. Now, five years later, he has abandoned humanity, mimicking the behaviours of his brother - Toothless - and the rest of their flock. Content to leave his entire childhood in the past, Hiccup is dragged back into fifteen years of unpleasant memories when his peers from Berk crash into his new home. He soon finds his allegiances split between the new life he has built for himself, and the one he abandoned.

    Berk is starving, plagued by constant dragon raids and empty seas. The heir to the chiefdom, Astrid, leads the expedition to find the famed dragon master, and beg for his help in stopping the raids. Little does she know, behind the mask, is somebody she's been mourning for years.
