    Summary

    A group of hunters has been sent by the king out to a newly claimed forest territory. Their job? Clear it of any pests that may hinder the expansion of the kingdom or may just be a general nuisance like wolves, fox, boar, and the most dangerous of all, harpies.

    Now, Scar's never seen a living harpy, but he's not stupid. Everyone and their mothers know they're blood-thirsty killers, mindless animals at best, demons sent from hell itself at worst. Everyone also knows that a harpy could kill you in three seconds flat. But if that's the case, why is he still alive?

    Summary

    A small part of him felt cheated, in a way. This was supposed to be his success. Astrid was definitely learning from his friendship with Toothless, so all of the praise she was getting was supposed to be his. He was the one learning about dragons, and he would have used all this knowledge to get their training sessions as short as possible if it wasn’t for Astrid constantly beating him to it.

    But a much more prominent part of him figured this was better. He didn’t want the glory anymore. He didn’t want anyone to think he was a dragon killer prodigy. He didn’t want people to swarm him now that he was finally hanging out with a friend who actually liked Hiccup for who he was, not demanding he changed in the least. Toothless was much better company than the Vikings of Berk.

    ---

    A world where Astrid finds out the truth much earlier and doesn't tell anyone everything she learns is from observing Toothless and Hiccup.

    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

    All the Viking tribes have a unique magic, something passed on to each new generation. Some tribes have boring things like super strength or invisibility, but on Berk they have...dragon transformation. The only problem is that no one knows what sort of dragon they'll turn into, and on the eve of his own initiation Hiccup is not feeling confident....

    Summary

    The day after Scar breaks up with Grian, the dead come back to life. Knowing that venturing out alone is a death sentence, the sudden onset of the apocalypse forces them to stick together despite the tensions between them. In the wreckage of the world, they're forced to survive side-by-side, coming to terms with the fact that—try as they might—there's no one they trust more than each other.

    Go!” Grian shouts as the monster charges, putting his whole force into the blow.

    Scar watches, frozen stiff as Grian fights until blood and gore and viscera mark the creature up like a Pollock painting.

    “What are you waiting for?!” Grian snaps when he finally notices that Scar is still standing there. He grips his weapon tight and attacks a final time, slamming the zombie down—good and dead—and standing panting over top of it, strained but victorious. He starts rushing from the scene, calling back for Scar over his shoulder. “Run!”

    And in a way that’s as familiar to him as breathing, Scar chases after him.
