Summary
Shunned and abused by his own family, Hiccup runs away with Toothless. He knows he can't return, but that doesn't stop him from holding on to his past. When Astrid and his other old teammates arrive at his island, they ask him something he would never have expected.
OR
The raids on Berk have become increasingly common- they can barely go a week without being attacked. When Traders come in with the last of their food, Astrid hears something about the boy who can control dragons. As a last resort, Astrid and her team are sent away to request the Dragon Master's help.

Summary
This is Berk.
It snows for nine months of the year, and hails the other three. Most of the food is tough, and tasteless. The people, even more so.
Most everyone believes in the gods. On its own, it's not such a bad thing. The issue is that they believe in the other parts of the religion, too. And unluckily enough, most of the warriors are really superstitious. The moment there's someone different, they strike.
They kill dragons. This is the story of what they did to the one that couldn't.
----
“You’re not a viking,” his father cut him off suddenly, and Hiccup’s heart stopped. He watched, for a moment, as the anger in his father’s face ebbed away, the way his eyes shimmered from what could have been grief.
“Dad, please-”
All of the rage was gone. Now, Stoic just looked defeated. “You’re not my son.”

Summary
In a world where Astrid doesn't stop nor find him, and Hiccup has more time to make a plan, it seems inevitable that he runs away the day before the fight.
With the friendship of a dragon and the space to grow for himself, what might the boy discover about himself, and the world around him?

“And what’s your plan for getting out? Steal the keys to the cells, bust your way out, then what? You have no leg, no backup, just a half-baked copycat and her idiot dragon.”
“Don’t you hear it?” The boy asked. He’d taken the step forward to be standing right up next to Viggo, hands wrapped loosely around the cell bars. “Don’t you smell smoke?”
or - astrid is actually having a really bad time being held hostage by viggo. the stupid boy who's shown up in the cell next to her is not making it better

Summary
He’d split a rock on his head as a child. He’d ripped a nadder’s head from its shoulders as a baby. He’d been made chief when his father died to dragons, and as chief he’d watched his Valka miscarry for years only to be snatched away by dragons from their only surviving child; and, nearing what should have been the end of his time as chief, his heir and son had gone missing, probably because of dragons too. And he’d survived that. The people of Berk were tough, worn and weathered and rooted down into the earth like the mountain against whose base they had settled.
But Stoick wasn’t so certain anymore that they could survive much longer. Hiccup was gone, but the village still skirted disaster; Astrid was his heir, but the Berk she was inheriting was char and charcoal.
After Hiccup went missing Stoick's certainty in victory against dragons disappeared too. A mysterious Dragon Master offers hope, but hope is a man with a Night Fury for a shadow and a power that brought the tyrant who last bore that title to his knees.

Summary
"Exile still seems the best option, Stoick..."
Stoick should have known better. While he didn't know much about his son-especially now-he knew the boy was clever. It should have been no surprise when a guard burst into the Council Meeting and revealed that Hiccup had escaped the cell Stoick put him in...hours after the boy was revealed to have saddled a dragon.
Hiccup is gone, and so is the beast.
They search, but do not find him. Berk falls asleep one night and awakens in the Great Hall, where the torches come to life and cast an image of their isle on the wall, from which floats Hiccup's voice, years younger.
AKA, Hiccup forfeited the final challenge, leaving Astrid with the right to kill the Nightmare. Story picks up in the Race to the Edge era, except Berk never learned the truth of dragons, no one knows how Hiccup really lost his leg, and stories of a hooded 'vigilante' riding a Night Fury have been long whispered...and Berk will see it all unfold.
Stoick the Vast and Berk watch How to Train Your Dragon...and beyond.

[Stoick: “Shoddy workmanship, that’s what it is! A faulty wheelbarrow?! How is this island meant to function with faulty wheelbarrows?!”
On the ground lies a wheelbarrow, overturned, one wheel having broken free and rolled off, spilling Mildew’s cabbages into the dirt. Thankfully, the man isn’t present, but–
“My cabbages!” Mildew shrieks.] Had to double check I wasn't reading an ATLA fic LMAO whattt I fucking love that they referenced this -

Summary
The house on Ember Island is as beautiful as Zuko remembers from his childhood, and as decrepit as he remembers from his last visit.
"You're sure no one has been here?" Suki asks, testing the porch steps with one foot before climbing up hesitantly. "It looks like somebody broke in."
Zuko cringes. The door is still hanging slightly ajar; he hadn't realised he'd kicked it that hard, but they might have to fix the hinges on top of all the other maintenance the house needs. "I guess I didn't mean nobody. My—me, Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee were all forced on vacation so the adults could discuss their horrible plans for the world in private. We didn't stay at this house, but I came here one night to think."
"And…kicked the door open?"
"It was locked," Zuko says.
or: four times that the gaang understands zuko, and one time that they don't.

The Murdock boys always had the devil in them. They thought that was just a saying, not a silent mutation carrying through their family line until radioactive runoff turns it into something dramatic. Matt looks like an actual demon, and has a lot more than super senses to keep secret if he doesn't want to get caught.

Summary
Steve looked up to see a soft man with hair that reminded him of Bucky’s, but blond and better kept. He was wearing a suit with the air of someone who wears suits because it is part of their job, not because they particularly want to.
His tie had dinosaurs on it.
He held out a hand for Steve to shake: “Foggy Nelson.”
“Steve Rogers.”
“What can I do you for, Mr. Rogers? Before Karen accidentally poisons you with her atrocious coffee.”
The woman in question threw a little rubber duck at him. It bounced off his shoulder. Nelson ignored it, so Steve decided it was probably a common occurrence. In all honesty, Steve thought he probably deserved it, but he hadn't tried the coffee yet.
“I’m not actually here for myself," he said. "My friend, James Barnes. Spider-Man said you guys could help.”
From what he'd seen so far, he wasn't convinced.
In which Nelson and Murdock are set to defend Bucky Barnes for the Winter Soldier's crimes, and nothing ever goes smoothly.

PEAKKKKK love a good batfam fic
[Gordon and Bruce exchanged a quick, baffled glance. Gordon raised his eyebrows to say, Does that mean anything to you? And Bruce twisted the corner of his lip to say, No, not really. It sounded like a 4chan username. Or maybe a pro gamer handle.] HASFHJA CRUELLLL BRUCE
[“How about Robin?” he said at last.
“Robin…?” Bruce fished for a last name.
“…Hood?”
“Of Sherwood Forest, I presume,” said Alfred, returning with a stack of clean towels, a set of pajamas, and a monogrammed toiletry set from the hotel downstairs.
Bruce sighed. “Look here, Mr. Hood—”
“Please. Mr. Hood is my brother. I’m just Robin.”] this is hilarious. -

Summary
"I'm not sure what I'd have done."
"And I didn't want to put you in that position.”For better or for worse, Arthur knows Merlin's secret. The problem? Merlin doesn't know Arthur knows. This leaves Arthur with a predicament... and an opportunity. A test. Three trials and three opportunities for Merlin to prove he doesn't deserve death. Arthur hopes he will pass them. Maybe then the image of Merlin's golden eyes will stop haunting him.
Merlin opened his mouth. A noise unlike any sound Arthur had ever heard escaped from it. Loud and rumbling and guttural, inhuman, and in no way, shape, or form could actually be coming from his manservant.
But it was. And Merlin was speaking.
"O drakon, e male so ftengometta tesd'hup'anankes! Erkheo!"
For a minute, there was complete silence—a silence in which Arthur just stared from behind a tree in an incomprehensive daze.
But then there was a sound. Both loud and forceful and... familiar.
The sound of flapping wings.
AKA an in-depth character study of Arthur. I do not endorse Arthur's actions, but this is what I think he'd do in canon. This was my season 3 prediction!

Summary
He hates that he was banished. He hates that nothing is the same anymore. He hates that all he got for it was the permanent reminder marked into the side of his face. A pair of stupid weights tied to his back. Blind in one eye and half his hearing gone.
Twisting his head, Zuko glares over his shoulder at the broad sweep of crimson skin and scales folded against his back. Reaching back again, softer, he latches onto that same hook. He stretches it out instead of shoving it, and spreads it the length of his arm. It’s only slightly longer, small in terms of wingspan, but Uncle says he’ll grow into it.
They shift slightly as Zuko curls further into himself, brushing together with a soft rustle. He hates them.

Summary
“What are you doing here?” Zuko growls, squinting suspiciously at Sokka, not yet reaching for a weapon. Sokka takes it as a good sign and straightens up, stepping into the doorway.
“I am your Wolf Cove cultural liaison," Sokka declares confidently.
There’s a long, awkward moment of silence. Sokka expects outrage or indignation, but Zuko just tilts his head, cat-like, still squinting at him. “Wolf Cove?” he says slowly. “Is that where we are?”
Sokka blinks rapidly, feeling a little like the world just lurched beneath his feet. “What kind of question is that?” he asks incredulously, striding into the room fully. “How can you not even know where you are?”
Zuko flushes and grits his teeth. “Go away, Sokka.”
Sokka simply lights up with glee. “You remembered my name!” He laughs in delight. “See, you do care!”
When Sokka is thirteen, the grumpy boy and his weird uncle turn up in Wolf Cove. Zuko is rude, he's annoying, and he's a puzzle Sokka just can't solve. It's exactly what he needs to make things interesting around here.
A story about two teenagers making it to adulthood in their own ways.
They'll figure it out.Series
