Astrid Hofferson's father is abusive. After a while, her mother gets strong enough to leave him and takes Astrid with her. Months past and her mom begins to date again, only for the man to become abusive. Astrid grows up to start liking and dating bad boys and she allows them to hurt her, because that's all she's ever really seen a guy do. She attends a new school after moving into a new house with her mom and settling in. She meets a boy named Hiccup and thinks, 'Why would he be any different?'

High School student Hiccup is a bad boy, in with the wrong crowd and a pest to those around him. Astrid Hofferson is Class President, cheerleading Captain and most popular girl in school. But neither are what they seem: Astrid's popularity hides a determined but very insecure young woman battling against impossible expectations while Hiccup struggles in an abusive home he endures for the sake of his ailing mother. Both wear masks at school-but can they see behind the other's facade and help each other through? Modern AU, Hiccstrid.

What if Hiccup had left after being chosen to kill the Monstrous Nightmare. After three years of being presumed dead and freeing dragons from in and out of the archipelago and building his reputation as the man in dragon scale armor the Night Rider, the thief of the Vikings... what will happen when his quest brings him back to Berk? What will happen when the "Night Rider" becomes involved with problems around Berk? And what happens when he runs into an old love interest. Through fire and flames, dragons and destruction, pain yet persistence. What will happen to Hiccup and his best pal Toothless, and will he choose his role as heir to Berk, or the Night Rider... (Sequel Out) (This book takes place in a world if Hiccup would have left with Toothless after being chosen to kill the dragon.) Httyd belongs to Dreamworks
