    Summary

    A death camp was not where Hiccup wanted to spend his adolescence. Not after finally making peace with the dragons. He came to terms with it, reasoning they could all just pick up where they left off when he got back in four years. He was wrong.

    How does a man so twisted and broken from experiences too difficult to name pretend nothing had changed? How was Astrid supposed to handle what they'd done to him?

    It would require acceptance. Trust on all sides, both for him to open up, and for her to stay.

    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

    How To Train Your Dragon AU: Valka and Hiccup were both taken the night of the raid. Hiccup is raised in a dragon nest alongside Toothless. Epic adventure and friendship ensue.

    "The little dragon crooned softly, pupils dilating as he nuzzled against Hiccup's cheek. My son giggled, reaching his arms up over his head as he attempted to pet the Night Fury. I simply sat back and stared in amazement at their interaction. The hatchling took one of Hiccup's arms in his mouth, chewing softly. I gasped, jumping forward to push him away, only to notice that the dragon had no teeth. "What the...toothless?" I murmured in confusion. I could've sworn the other baby dragon had teeth. This one tilted his head, glancing up at me with an expression that read, 'you seriously thought I was gonna bite him?' I relaxed with a chuckle, letting him do as he pleased. If anything, Hiccup was enjoying the hatchling's attention, and kicked his legs happily. "Well, Toothless, meet my son, Hiccup," I introduced with a grin."

    Summary

    Passion. Curiosity. Hubris.

    What if Hiccup Haddock had always been a gifted fighter? After all, years in the forge can do so much to one's strength and physique. Being known as one of the best warriors on Berk, Astrid Hofferson couldn't help but feel threatened as he stood in the way of her pursuit for honor. What grew between the two was a rivalry; their feelings burning up over the years they had known one another threatening either of them to burst into flames. But what happens in the midst of tensions between tribes in the archipelago, when the whole worldview of these two dragon killers begins to collapse?

    (Takes place when Hiccup and Astrid are 20 years old, their age in HTTYD 2)

    A "what-if" scenario and canon rewrite of Hiccup becoming dragon killing rivals with Astrid from the start, until the elusive Night Fury's eventual return to attack Berk.
