[ Inspired by Race To The Edge - Season 6: Episode 10 (Darkest Night) ]
In some other universe out there, Hiccup never succeeded in taking down the Night Fury.
He never met his best friend, he never passed Dragon Training, and he never killed the Red Death. Three years later, his father gives him an ultimatum - kill a dragon, or relinquish his title as heir to the tribe.
With the Night Fury roaming the island, on the hunt for the Whispering Death, Hiccup is given one last chance to change the fate of his village, as well as find an unbreakable bond he doesn't realise he's been yearning for.
------------
I begun writing this years ago after the final season of Race to the Edge aired and for years I have been dying to finish it 😭 I really wanted to see how the events of Darkest Night would have gone down if it'd been given time to be more than a small "what if" scenario in a 23 minute Netflix episode. I won't follow everything that happened in the episode exactly, but I will pull heavy inspiration from it.

A Runaways Resolve, A Dragon Master's Legacy
You have likely seen it all before, Hiccup gets chosen to kill the Monstrous Nightmare but instead of staying to try and prove to his village dragons aren't the monsters they think they are, he leaves. Abandons the world he knows for a world of possibility, a world where he can be him, be free. What if he is one day discovered by a group of dragon riders and chose to join them as they had adventure after adventure. It would be a good life but of course it would never stay so happy, things would change sometimes for the better sometimes for worse. Old scars would surface, old lives reappear and new faces vanish, how would this affect him. Well shall we find out? I don't own the How To Train Your Dragon franchise of course and this is all done for fun. You know the legal stuff. I also don't own the image, I got it off of google as one could expect. For now the story isn't Mature though this may change in the future as I continue so I will make sure to change that if it becomes necessary, just an early warning just in case I break a guideline.
Stormbound
After a near disaster, Hiccup and Astrid decide to visit Berk, leaving Fishlegs in charge of Dragon's Edge. However, things take a turn for the worse when Hiccup detours to answer a distress call and gets much more than he bargained for. With the Dragon Eye and Hiccup's own life in the balance, it's up to the other Riders to save the Edge and their leader. This takes place somewhere in Season 2, I'm thinking after "A Time to Skrill" and before "Maces and Talons, Part 1." Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters or images.

Would those he left behind be able to recognize the village loser, despite the man that he has become? Does he even want them to? In their time of greatest need, will Hiccup be able to save them? Or is the fear of facing his past too great an obstacle to overcome? Set in a world of smut, blood, and magic, with heavy helpings of history and mythology. (Contains O/C, hiccstrid, and plenty of angst) This is the first book in an eventual trilogy. (Inheritance cycle inspired vibes, but not really a cross-over.

Soul of Furies (Book Three)
Thora has reached thirty-three years of age, and she's doing just fine with raising her children and her clan of Night Furies. However, her peace is coming to an end. Almost ten years ago, she was killed in a battle against her greatest foe, Alrek, son of Asmund. The only reason she came back was because the gods offered her a once-in-a-lifetime deal. She could go back to Earth, but she would only get ten years before her soul is required to return to Valhalla. She never told Hiccup about her deal, not until now. With the date of her past resurrection getting closer, it won't be long before she disappears from the world once again. Of course, telling her husband only causes strife between the couple. Words are thrown and things are said that neither of them mean, but it ends with Thora leaving with Nightstar for a night flight. A plea to the gods is answered, transporting the two best friends to another world far different from their own. It's a world where Thora was never born, and it's much worse than she could've ever imagined. In this world, Hiccup and Toothless perished with Alrek's attack. In this world, the dragons were transformed into heartless demons with blood-red eyes. In this world, Thora's friends are cold and indifferent to one another. At stake is Thora's deal; succeed in changing what's been broken, and her ten years will get more added on. Trapped in a never-ending nightmare, Thora and Nightstar need to rely on the help of the inhabitants of this strange world of they're ever to return to their own. Third Book in the Fury SagaComplete
