Summary
In which Astrid got to the cove just a few minutes too late, and Hiccup had already left. In which, six years later, the dragon raids are a thing of the past, but now a madman with a dragon army is threatening Berk. In which Astrid, now heir to the Chiefdom, convinces Stoick to ask the mysterious Dragon Master for help.
Hiccup obliges. It's his fight, after all.
However, he may have forgotten to anticipate how hard it would be to prepare for war alongside his old friends and family without letting them know it was him. But then again, what other choice does he have?
Toothless is finding the whole situation highly amusing.
Useless reptile.

Summary
Stoick the Vast, under the advisement of his best friend, had intended to allow his son into dragon training with the other kids his age, but he allowed his son to speak first and decided to honor his wishes. Hiccup would not fight dragons, and as a result, fate moved slightly to the left.
Hiccup would not use what he learned while befriending Toothless to move up the ranks in dragon training and gain the attention of the entire village and the ire of Astrid. Instead, he would slowly fade into the background until no one even realized when he was missing from the village for days or even weeks at a time.
Most importantly, his connection to dragons wouldn't be exposed to the world for quite some time.
Which worked out for him and Toothless as the two had a growing flock to protect and rule as the draconic Kings of the Wilderwest.

Summary
Five years after Hiccup flees Berk to avoid having to kill the Monstrous Nightmare, Drago Bludvist is knocking down Berk's door. He never expected to see the others again, let alone for them to ask for his help. Only, they didn't know it was him. They knew him as the mysterious dragon rider with the Night Fury and their only hope at saving Berk.
Drago was coming after Berk because of Hiccup, which meant that this war was his responsibility. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third was about to come back to life in the eyes of everyone in Berk. But now he was stronger, faster, older, taller, more confident, and a great fighter. He could take down Drago Bludvist, it was his father he was worried about. And Astrid Hofferson. The two scariest people on Berk.

Summary
Eyes staring into the fire, Hestia prayed to the Fates, the Moirai. Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. Please, she thought sadly. Please help them in some way. Assist them. If they must go through this again—if they have no choice but to fight another war for us the gods—at least aid them.
The fire crackled and flickered as a soft breeze whooshed by. Hestia watched as images she did not will to life passed through the fire, too quickly to decipher. Her eyes widened as each moment in time embedded itself in her head. Her swelled and broke and melted and sank and mended and shattered and rejoiced. The past made her ache, the present made her restless, the future made her terrified.

Summary
“Right now I’m more worried about Mr. Masters. If only we knew what he was planning. Because then we’d be able to plan ahead, right? I feel like he’s been leading me in a certain direction all this time, always encouraging my hatred toward you to keep me focused. Now… I’m not sure what he’s even planning.”
“Don’t look at me—I don’t know either,” said Phantom defensively.
Valerie grunted. “I wish we knew what was coming so we could be prepared…”
The moment the words left her lips, Phantom tensed. “Oh, crud.”

Summary
After Marietta reveals Dumbledore's Army, Fudge and Umbridge try to figure out who to blame for it all - Harry Potter or Albus Dumbledore. So McGonaggal suggests watching some of Harry's most important memories to see for themselves, only she hopes it would reveal the truth about Voldemort before anyone gets in trouble.
Naturally, the entire school watches right along with them, and Madam Bones is invited to attend as well in the hopes of leaving things neutral.
---
They watch the Harry Potter books... but not everything - it's a fun project I decided to start and it's not going to be too long. Also, it won't move past the fifth book, since... they haven't been through any more adventures yet. Hope you like it :)
(PS - I was obviously wrong, this is going to be super long, for some reason.)
(Another PS - this might show a couple of scenes from after the fifth book if I decide to add a bonus chapter. We'll see.)
(I tried not to make the characters out of character, but I'm not sure I managed that...)

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
He realizes it right before everything goes to shit. He’s just standing there in the loft and Eddie’s handing him Christopher’s backpack and talking about “he’s not that fast” and “order pizza” and Buck sort of stares at him—partly in shock, partly in reverence—and he thinks "I love you." He shoves it down immediately, of course, as far down as it’ll go, but the fact of the matter is, it’s there somewhere, floating around inside of him. He can’t get rid of it now.
Not that it matters all that much, though, because there’s the whole quitting thing and the lawsuit thing and the argument in the grocery store and by the time he’s given his (re)start date he knows; he well and truly fucked up.

Summary
“How did you get home from the hospital?”
“Took an uber.”
“Does Maddie know?” Silence. “Does anyone?” More silence. More of Buck refusing to meet his gaze, staring at the door like he thought he could entice Eddie to leave by the power of suggestion. Well, good fucking luck, Eddie thought. Wild horses, and all that. “Why didn’t you call anyone?” he demanded. “Why didn’t you call me?”
“I did!” Buck snarled. The momentum of his indignation carried him into a sitting position, and Eddie could see him flinch with the pain of it. His unnaturally stoic front was gone, and something raw and wrenching took its place; it occurred to Eddie that he’d never heard Buck raise his voice before. “I did call you, Eddie! As I was bleeding out on my kitchen floor. You. Didn’t. Answer.”
---
The squatter in Buck's attic has a knife. Buck has a bit of a breakdown. Eddie has a plan to make everything right.

Summary
“Gentlemen. Ma'am,” he greets. Eddie looks over the man's shoulder to see Buck unfold the letter, his face falling deeper into despair the further down the page he gets. “I am Lieutenant James Francis of the United States Navy SEALs. I have already spoken to your Chief, but I wanted to come here personally to explain the situation. As of this morning, Evan Buckley has been officially reinstated for active duty.”

Things after the lawsuit haven't been easy. What happens when Buck gets called away for deployment before anyone has a chance to say goodbye? What happens when they realize they're the ones who owe Buck an apology? Now, they may never get the chance.

Summary
“You really showed up here after hooking up with someone? And you didn’t even shower?”
“W-what?”
“You reek of omega, Buck.”
“Eddie, I … no. That’s not … I didn’t hook up with anyone.” [...] “It’s me. You’re smelling me.”
“Nice try, but you’re an alpha, Buck. I know what an omega smells like, and this scent is strong.”
“Not anymore.”
“What does that even mean?”
“I’m not … not an alpha anymore, Eddie.”

Summary
Nebula. Noun. According to Oxford's Dictionary, a nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in outer space, visible in the night sky either as an indistinct bright patch or as a dark silhouette against other luminous matter. Nebulas are the beginnings of a star. At least that's what NASA always said.
The idea that all things start from nothing had always appealed to Danny from a young age. Perhaps that is why he put up with his life for so long. The thought that perhaps, one day he will become something like a star. Something or someone important. He never thought how much his little soul would have to be twisted and warped to become that star.
Waking up in Gotham Danny is finally set on a path to intercept with who he is meant to become. However, there are forces and trials he must face before he can become what he was meant to be. Hopefully, the family and friends he makes along the way can help him with these trials and prevent the collapse and death of this forming star.

Summary
Danny's been High King for years now. More than half his life. His parents? Reformed. His arch nemesis? Retired. The GIW? Still there, but not much of a threat anymore. Until someone got a lucky shot with a brand new, and extra nasty weapon that left Danny fighting not to just retreat into his core.
Good thing Frostbite told him about a way to condense himself to save energy and heal. Sure, making himself shrink is a little weird, but as long as it gets the job done, right? A quick portal jump and he'll be home and can just rest and relax until he's strong enough to go back to normal.
...Maybe he jumped a little too far. Because he's never heard of this Gotham place, and who the heck is Batman? Wait, they've got superheros here?! (And they're cute. Oh no.)

Summary
Danny was adopted by the Fentons as a baby. He knows that, but has no idea who his birth parents are. All he has is a place of birth. Not that it matters.
Well, it didn't use to matter. But now that his parents - that Jack and Maddie - have found out his secret and not taken it well, maybe it's time for him to try and seek his birth parents out and find out why he was given up for adoption and if they'd be willing to help him out. He doesn't really have many other options at this point.
Actually, he has zero other options because Vlad would never be a viable one.
Off to Gotham he goes.
