    Summary

    "I'm not saying Hiccup's not a good designer," Astrid soft-pedals and hates it, but it's necessary and true, "it's not the designs, it's how they're going through the system. And the tolerancing! I don't know if things need to be two thou because they need to be two thou or if he's just pulling a tiny number out of his ass because we need close to nominal, but either way the communication isn't there."

    "He pulls plenty out of his ass, but I don't think GD&T is part of it," Gobber laughs, "what do you want to do about it?"

    "I want to sign off on his drawings."

    Summary

    In which Astrid got to the cove just a few minutes too late, and Hiccup had already left. In which, six years later, the dragon raids are a thing of the past, but now a madman with a dragon army is threatening Berk. In which Astrid, now heir to the Chiefdom, convinces Stoick to ask the mysterious Dragon Master for help.

    Hiccup obliges. It's his fight, after all.

    However, he may have forgotten to anticipate how hard it would be to prepare for war alongside his old friends and family without letting them know it was him. But then again, what other choice does he have?

    Toothless is finding the whole situation highly amusing.

    Useless reptile.

    Summary

    In the city of Berk, your worth is measured in power. Society is ruled by ruthless Guilds, and your future is determined on your twentieth birthday when your anima—a spirit animal that grants extraordinary abilities—finally manifests.

    For Hiccup Haddock, son of the formidable Apex Guild Leader, that day was a public humiliation. Branded a Level 0 for his laughably weak manifestation, he's relegated to a menial job and the bottom rung of the social ladder, a disappointment to everyone, especially himself.

    For Astrid Hofferson, the opposite is true. A rising star with a powerful anima and the most sought-after prospect in years. And for reasons that defy all logic, she seems utterly, intensely fascinated with Hiccup.

    As Hiccup tries to navigate his new life as a pariah, fending off pity and ridicule while dealing with Astrid's confusing and overwhelming attention, he begins to uncover anomalies in the Guilds' operations. Secrets that the most powerful people on Berk would do anything to keep buried. In a world that sees him as useless, can Hiccup unravel a dangerous conspiracy and figure out Astrid's true intentions before he's crushed by the system he was born to lead?

    Summary

    The war is over, but for Hiccup, the battle has just begun. When his kingdom falls, he is taken as a living reparation by Astrid, the celebrated war hero of Berk. He can't understand why the most dangerous warrior in the North would choose a skinny stable boy as her personal squire, and the mystery only deepens as he's subjected to her relentless training regimen.

    Surrounded by warriors who mock him and serving a master whose strength is as intimidating as her beauty, Hiccup is determined to prove his worth is not measured in muscle. He'll have to fight clever, because in the land of Vikings, a sharp mind might be the only thing that can survive a Dragon's attention.

    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.
