    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

    Hiccup sighed, “So are you gonna put out the fire or …”

    “Nah,” Ruffnut said, “Let it burn.”

    “You know, little H,” Tuffnut said, finally looking away from the fire, “We’re always wrecking havoc. It’s like our specialty. But you my friend - you are a walking disaster.”

    “Gee, thanks.”

    The roof on the smithy collapsed inward. Hiccup sighed. Ruffnut and Tuffnut looked at him in awe.

    Hiccup hadn’t known it then, and wouldn’t ever know it, but that was the day that he first truly began falling out of favour with his father - and the day that he began falling into favour with the most insane duo on Berk.

    Or, thanks to the fact that Hiccup seems to screw-up everything he touches, the twins follow him around for free entertainment. What they didn't sign up for was friendship.

    Summary

    Eret had spoken about the mindless cruelty of Drago’s base and soldiers, but there’s nothing like seeing it in front of her to make it really, really sink in. She’d wanted to empathize, but she doesn’t think she really understood.

    She does now.

    Astrid leans her head back until it hits the wall behind her, and blinks up at the ceiling.

    It’s going to be a long three days.

     

    Or: Instead of facing the Monstrous Nightmare in the Kill Ring, Hiccup packs up and leaves Berk on Toothless, defeating the Red Death on his own as he goes. Six years later, Hiccup has royally fucked up– Hiccup has severely underestimated Drago, and now Hiccup is cramped, tired, hungry, without his prosthetic, and he really, really, really misses Toothless.

    Imagine his surprise (read: complete and utter dread) when he wakes up one day to see absolutely none other than Astrid Hofferson, Snotlout Jorgenson, Fishlegs Ingerman, and Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston sitting in the cell across from him.
