Summary
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words shall never hurt me
— Unknown (first written appearance, 1830)Crime prevails. In every street, in every corner, every twisted apparition of kindness has a perception of to gain and to lose. Quid pro quo taken to its natural eventual conclusion.
Mercy is not an option in this world. And yet, there lies a soul DETERMINED to do something right, and another begging for a release that will never come.
Unlikely souls meet in the beyond, and take a journey to discover what went wrong, and how did it all go bad so quickly?

Summary
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock was raised by the Forge, and like a dragon, is forged from heat and iron. He does not last long without it.
He can't.
And Toothless would not accept the alternative. To lose their fire, a dragon would rather die.
Hiccup's always had the heart of a dragon. Hiccup runs away from Berk and gets the freedom he's always wanted. (However, problems don't stop existing just because you run away from them.)

Summary
It arrives on a raid like any other—its distinct screech, as if the air was being sheared with its power and its purple blasts—unseen for so long.
The dragon with the wingspan which no one has ever seen before. The dragon which hunts with the night as its natural habitat. The son-of-Loki, the night-fury, the creature of the night which hunted not with relentless flames but precise, methodical attacks.
Has not been heard for many winters. It arrives on any other raid, perfectly unremarkable, and as the night at its back.
It strikes like a beast worthy of a sonnet. A story worthy of Beowulf—or any myth.
And no one expects the man that sits on its back, the cruel betrayal of the man who walks like a dragon, fluidly and with an unmistakable grace that would be beautiful if it were not connected to the creatures that tear through villages, and raining fire like a recurring nightmare.
The Dragon Master makes his appearance, and Berk—for the first time in a long time—really does feel like it lies on the Meridian of Misery.

Summary
He doesn’t know when it changes. He doesn’t know when Astrid becomes something different from his idea of Berk

Summary
“Why did you leave?”
Hiccup didn’t really know what to say to that. There were a lot of reasons, really. Toothless was just the breaking point. He’d spent so much time running, thinking life would be better on Berk without him—he didn’t really think on the why he left.
“I don’t know,” he replied simply.
In a moment between moments, Hiccup and Astrid discuss what they owe to Berk (and perhaps to each other).

Summary
[rewrite] [original]
Currently on temporary hiatus, to refocus on school work.
The Judge. A creature feared by men and monster alike. A creature that hides within each shadow, waiting to Judge your every sin, your every crime, your every mistake. Or so the legend goes.
In the heat, a tempering fire grows, revolution and rebellion comes around in everyone's ear. Abandoned, they stand in the cruelty or negligence of their rulers.
A timespace anomaly found in a laboratory. And a child that burns with the fire of Patience, and the waters of Justice.

Summary
They start their stories running away from each other, fearing who they are to each other, fearing who they will be. The future is always a feared prospect, even for a Time Lord.
She thinks she knows herself, and then he uproots everything she knows by telling those words in her ear.
He's lost too much and then he loses someone he doesn't even know. And Death and Time must be playing a joke on him. Because he thinks he's lost enough.
[vignette, standalone, The Doctor/River Song, a character study of what love is to the two of them]

Summary
"I know. It's okay. This is where I die. This is a fixed point. This must happen. This always happens. Don't worry. You won't even remember this. Look over there."
"That's me. How can I be there?"
"That's you from the future, serving time for a murder you probably can't remember. My murder."
River doesn't remember saving the Doctor, she doesn't remember her wedding, the only thing she really remembers is being dragged into court, and sent into prison. To her, right now, it's all a blur.
She's only just met him, and he's already dead.

Summary
I was a guardian, but now I had nothing to guard, for my home was taken from this sweet angel, and kicked out, evicted from my rightful place.
I was scared the day you picked up that pen in your soul, a soul contract binding the two souls. I was afraid I’d been replaced.
I was replaced, I was just holding on to a sweet reality I lost when you asked me to cut your wings and let you go.
For you to live and let fly. And be finally free from your responsibilities. You ran from us, our existence, our way of life.
A guardian angel watches a human with love and grace. Remembering the time she was an angel among the stars, and reminiscing about his lost space in this world. Will he ever be able to find her again, or will he forever pay for his crime?

To her, Hiccup is everything she could have ever wanted, someone who'd respect her, love her, and keep her all in the same sentence.
To him, Astrid is a blazing storm, a storm that shined with her startling blue eyes that saw into you and promised you things with words. To Hiccup, she always get what she wants.
