    Summary

    Apparently, Goose was meant to have died today, his neck was meant to have snapped.

    He's not dead, but his grown-up son and a guilt-ridden older Mav have been taken into custody by the Navy, so things could probably be going a lot better.

    Summary

    "Some asshole from an alternate dimension switched places with me," Sanji says.

    Everyone stares at him until Luffy shouts, "Whoa!  Really?!"

    "Yes!  Me from another universe.  He switched our brains.  So he came here, and he sent me there.  I was kidnapped!"

    Zoro leans back in his seat.  "Okay, that tracks."  Mystery solved.  He was right: the cook was weird and something was wrong.

    Summary

    “I am not going in there defenseless, are you kidding me?” Astrid shot back, feeling exhausted and sore and frustrated that she still couldn’t place why that voice sounded so familiar. “That is the last thing I’m doing.”
    “Right, do you have a better idea?” asked the prisoner.
    “I’d rather jump overboard and pray.”
    A pause. Astrid considered hitting her head against the wall until she knocked herself out.
    “Okay, so I’m not saying your plan sucks,” said the prisoner, “but I do have some mild concerns.”

    In this timeline, Toothless never made it out of the cove to save Hiccup in the arena, and Stoick took the Nightmare with him instead. With Toothless free, Hiccup went after the raiders alone. He never returned.
    Five years later, fishermen report strange ships transporting dragons to unknown locations. Astrid built a life for herself in Berk out of the notes Hiccup left behind, but when Stoick sends her and a team to track down this mysterious trading network, she goes. She promises him she’ll be back.
    That was a mistake.

    Summary

    The Night Fury came crashing to the ground, teeth bared and growling despite the bola pinning its wings. A moment later, a second, smaller, winged creature landed in front of it, crouching protectively over the dragon.
    "Get back." The creature demands, in a very human voice.
    Stoick pushes through the gathering crowd, presses his axe to the thing's neck. "Who are you?"
    The creature doesn't reply, tilts its head away from Stoick to speak to its demonic friend in the dragon's harsh, clicking language.
    "You will answer me!" Stoick bellowed. "Who are you?"
    "Odin help us- Ryder!" Astrid elbows her way through the crowd, sounding out of breath. She jolts to a stop next to Stoick, brushing her bangs out of her eyes.
    The demon man, Ryder, tips her head to her. "Pleasure to see you again Milady."
    "You know this man?"
    Astrid nods. "That's the Dragon Conqueror. He helped us save you from Alvin."

    Summary

    The time comes for Hiccup to finally prove himself in front of all of Berk, and he knows he can't do it. He won't do it. Convinced there is no way he could ever change people's minds about dragons, he runs away from home and into the great wide world, where he learns to live and love, and touches the lives of many.

    Meanwhile, life on Berk carries on much the same. How much of a difference could one scrawny little boy have made anyway? Five years after the chief's son's disappearance, how much of a difference can Astrid Hofferson make in the war against the dragons?

    This is the story of Hiccup, and how he became the elusive Dragon Master. It is also the story of Astrid, Snotlout, and everyone else, if a certain very strange enchanted boy had departed from their lives too early.

    or

    Alternating chapters between Astrid five years later as she tries to find the rumoured Dragon Master, and different people's accounts of a very strange boy who shows up out of nowhere, disappears without a trace, and calls himself Hamish.
