Where Flesh and Metal Meet by Emachinescat

Summary
"The first thing that registered was the sound – the horrible metallic crunching of a trap snapping shut around flesh and bone. Then the pain hit, and it was so acute, so intense, and it brought with it so much agonizing pressure, all stemming from his right ankle – An animal scream tore from his throat, building with the crescendo of throbbing, piercing, gnawing, biting pressure, but when his voice gave out and petered out into a whimper, the pain continued to build, to bite, to claw at his flesh... He'd stepped into a hunter's trap. With his good leg. His only good leg."
AU of "The Dragon Eye of the Beholder, Part 1" where Hiccup steps into the hunter's trap with his right leg instead of his left. Now he finds himself at the mercy of Dagur, crippled by excruciating pain, as unable to help his friends as they are to help him. And as his friends race against time to save Hiccup's life - and his leg - Hiccup finds himself torn between the trauma of his past, the pain of the present, and the fear of the future.

Summary
Hiccup hasn't talked. They have broken his body but not his spirit — not entirely. Not enough to loosen his tongue. The information that Viggo wants, about the Dragon Eye lenses, about the riders, about Berk… Hiccup cannot give in. He will not. His friends will find him soon, he knows it. He just has to hold out until then.
Nothing Viggo does to him will make him talk.
Or so he thinks.
Prompt: Caving to Interrogation

Summary
AU of Sandbusted: Hiccup can't believe he's about to willingly let a dragon eat him to save Snotlout. Well, partially eat him, he supposes. But either way, if he survives this, Snotlout had better not complain about Hiccup ever again.
In which the dragon lurking beneath the sand is far older, more primal, and hungrier than the Sandbuster. A dragon with one weakness that Hiccup can exploit in only one way: Play dead and let the monster swallow him whole.

Summary
Ransom exchanges have a host of unspoken rules, a particular etiquette - an equal trade, a loved one for riches. But Dagur has never been one for rules. When he sees something he wants, he takes it, damn the consequences.
And what he wants is Hiccup.

Summary
Midnight Scrum AU. Rescue doesn't arrive in time, and a triumphant Ryker drags a battered, bruised, broken Hiccup to his waiting brother.
Hiccup expects torture. He expects death. He expects anything but fire and fury at Ryker's treatment of Hiccup. And he honestly isn't sure what terrifies him more - the humiliation and pain Ryker heaped upon him... or the strange softness in Viggo's eyes as he strives to fix what his brother broke.

Summary
AU of Midnight Scrum: Ryker pays the bounty and drags Hiccup to Viggo before his rescuers arrive. Now Hiccup finds himself in chains, on a ship bound for a far-off land, the center of one of Viggo's twisted games - and of the man's attentions. Viggo has given him an ultimatum, made an offer that Hiccup will never accept. But Viggo Grimborn isn't one to take no for an answer, and he's more than willing to play dirty to get what he wants.

Summary
Everyone knew about the tales the children of Berk were raised on: elves and vaettir, wicked and clever beings slinking in the shadows to steal or kill with a sharp tongue.
Hiccup had never given much thought to these stories, until he meets something while trapped out in a blizzard, and finds a whole new world opened to him.

Summary
With Winter creeping through Dragon's Edge, the deadline to return to Berk for Snoggletog drew ever nearer- yet their war with the Dragon Hunters showed no signs of stopping.
After countless nights spent brainstorming solutions and exploring new defensive options- their relief comes in the form of an unfamiliar Terror Mail. A scroll wrapped in a familiar shade of red, with a penmanship Hiccup knew from the moment his eyes caught on the smooth lines of ink.
Viggo Grimborn offers a truce, and with it comes a moment of mutual understanding. Perhaps, a chance to exchange something more meaningful.

Summary
Viggo treats Hiccup differently than the others.
He's clearly trying to sow dissent. That's all.
Spans days 2 and 3, for the prompts “Where Hiccup Goes, We Go,”+ "Dragon Riders," and "Captured vs Comfort," + "Giving Gifts."
