The Night Rider by pomegranate_freak

Summary
After the fall of the Red Death, the world believed Hiccup and Toothless died in the fire.
They were wrong.
Scarred, broken, and abandoned, Hiccup survives—but not as the boy Berk remembers. As the Night Rider, he wages war on dragon hunters, a shadow in the sky who saves dragons with blood and fire. Toothless, half-blind and brutal, is his weapon and his only companion. Together, they are legend. Together, they are feared.
But when a storm rips open the sky, another Hiccup falls into this world. Softer, younger, still believing in hope and peace. His Toothless is whole, his heart unscarred. And in the ashes of battle, two versions of the same boy must face what they could have been—what they’ve lost—and what they might still find in each other.
Dragons are chained. Hunters rise. An enemy unlike any other looms. Between blood and fire, love and grief, the two Hiccups and their Toothlesses must choose: fight for survival, or fight for each other.
A slow-burn, multi-chapter AU exploring love, grief, and the cost of survival. Featuring scarred!Toothless, darker!Hiccup, canon Hiccup, and the collision of two worlds.

Summary
The chief of Berk had to clear his head or else he’d say something he’d regret. Jumping onto his Night Fury, he took to the sky and up above the clouds. He could hear his mother’s words clearly in his mind back when Drago attacked.
“You have the heart of a chief and the soul of a dragon. Only you can bring our worlds together. That is who you are, son.”
Her words echoed in his mind, and each word felt like a dagger to the heart, despite her telling him that months ago, it still stuck with him. And now, the same words had a different meaning to them. He was the chief, which meant he had a duty to his people- even at the cost of his own heart, it would seem as well. Yelling with frustration, the young chief laid on his back and simply looked up at the sky, wanting to think about anything that would take his mind off the news that morning. -

Summary
They faced the Red Death alone—and won.
They left the Archipelago behind and never looked back, vanishing on the backs of their dragons. For five years, the Dragon Riders roamed the known world—west to east, north to south—chasing the wind across the continents, from the frozen Nordic seas to lands no Viking had ever dared imagine.
They saw more of the world than a thousand people would see in a thousand lifetimes. They encountered dragons lost to time, creatures and monsters whispered of in fireside tales, wonders no Viking could have ever dreamed of. They molded themselves into who they wanted to be, free from the pressures of Berk. By the time they returned to the Archipelago, they had forged unbreakable bonds not just with their dragons, but with one another.
But before they were ready to go home, they had to learn what it meant to belong—to the world, to each other, and to the dragons who carried them Into the Great Beyond.
A collection of oneshots set in the 'Into the Great Beyond' AU during the five years Hiccup and the teens vanished from the Archipelago, covering their adventures that would shape them into the Dragon Riders they would become.

Summary
They faced the Red Death alone—and won.
They left the Archipelago behind and never looked back, vanishing on the backs of their dragons. For five years, they roamed the known world, west to east, north to south, uncovering new dragons, myths, wonders, forging their own path far from the shadows of their past.
But now, a new threat rises. The Dragon Hunters eye the Barbaric Archipelago greedily, commanded by a mysterious warlord who has the power to control dragons. With danger looming over the place they once called home, the riders must return to Berk—and to the people they abandoned.
An AU where the teens defeat the Red Death without Berk and flee into the Great Beyond, only to be drawn back by a war they can’t ignore—and a home they can’t forget.

Summary

With Valka at his side, Stoick and the village are forced to reckon with what they nearly lost.
