Hiccup runs away from Berk with Toothless (after the fight with the Nadder in the ring). Astrid never stopped him and the romantic flight never happened.
Many years later, Hiccup has built a new life for himself where his talents are appreciated and he is well-respected. He has many allies and friends, but also many enemies. He hopes to never return to Berk, but unforeseen circumstances force his hand: and he must face his past, in order to have a future.
Hiccup must find a way to protect everything he has worked so hard for, and he must decide whether save the people who once called him a "fishbone". 


AN: This is my first fanfiction, I'd love your feedback- but please don't be too harsh.

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own How To Train Your Dragon- I am not Cressida Cowell or Dreamworks. I only own the plot line in this story and any OCs I introduce.

Started 14/02/2019

I do not have a set update schedule, but I'll post at least one chapter every two weeks (or try!).

At the moment it's kinda crazy and I don't know when I'll post but I promise I will not abandon this story! I have a lot of exams coming up and I'm trying really hard to do well, I won't say that this story is on hiatus, because a lot of people do that and then the story is abandoned. When everything gets less hectic I'll definitely post but that may take a while.

How To Save Your Trapper [An Eret Love Story] by Funnygirl_thatBelle

It's been five years since Hiccup changed the minds of Berk, and everyone is happier for it. It's a more peaceful way of life, and it opens the doors to new experiences such as Dragon Racing and discovering new lands. But what happens when Hiccup, his cousin, Revna, and Astrid stumble upon a Dragon Trapping Ring? What happens when the leader of said ring catches wind about the Dragon Riders? And what happens when Revna, a fiery, brave, and selfless warrior catches the eye of a certain trapper? Will she feel a spark as well? Will love prevail? Or will their stubborn personalities and differences keep them apart? Read to find out! Disclaimer: I don't own How to Train Your Dragon or any of its characters. I only own Revna and Amethyst. This is by no mean my first story. But it is the first that I am sharing with well, the world. I am very proud of it, but I know there is always room for improvement. Any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. No hate, please. Thank you! I'd also like to thank @OneArtsyGamer03 for giving me the final push to share my work. If you haven't checked out her stories, I highly recommend.

Gone (HTTYD and Hiccstrid fanfic) by WinnieThePooh89

After Hiccup on the Dragon Training, he still felt weak and useless to everybody because he hasn't even harmed a dragon. Nor would he want to. He knew that everybody wants Hiccup to Kill a dragon, not to ride a dragon. So, this story starts right when he goes into the woods. He was careful not to leave any signs for where he went. Astrid finds out that he left and fills something painful. Well Hiccup ever return? What does Astrid feel about this? More importantly, how will Hiccup react to Toothless big surprise? The HTTYD franchise belong to its respectful owners. I don't own any How To Train Your Dragon characters. I don't own How to Train Your Dragon. Cover Is Made By PurpoOnMinecraft Completed

To anyone who reads this, As it pains me to say this, I ran away from Berk. There I said it. Look, its not that I don't love being on Berk. But I can't help but feel like there's something more for me out there. Beyond the walls of the archipelago lies a world waiting to be discovered.

He runs away from everything he knows and loves. His friends, Gobber, his father, the tribe...... and Astrid. Leaving nothing but a note and sadness, he sets out, beyond the boundaries of the archipelago.

Doing everything together, even taking on a night fury. they run away after Hiccup wins the dragon training for they can't kill dragons, with Astrid.

Haley and the Dragon Riders by Lisa_Foxy

Haley is a young girl with an unusual gift. Some would call it a curse. Her? She calls it a convenient nuisance. Together with a dragon no one wants, a pair of wings she has no idea how got there and pretty much no past to speak of she is going on an adventure she could've never imagined. She lived a quiet, relatively ordinary life until a young boy and his unusual dragon intruded on her home. This fateful encounter would change her life forever as she discovers new friends, ["Going somewhere?" The sound of Hiccup's increasingly annoying voice asked as I was leaving. "Ugh.. yes. Away from you guys." I turned my back and continued walking.] Allies she never knew were even possible, ["And the catch?" I asked him skeptically after having heard his offer. "There's no catch. You can trust me. I just have credentials that you don't. And besides, I see potential in your future." He answered.] A love so strong nothing could break it, ["I can't help but love you, even when I try not to." I whispered to myself once I was in the air and far enough away for him to hear me.] And so much more as she embarks on an adventure with Hiccup, Toothless and all their friends. <currently editing a few mistakes here and there. I'll try and get all the updates out relatively soon one after another and won't change the story, just fixing a couple spelling mistakes here and there. All story mysteries that were confusing or went unanswered will most likely be answered in the upcoming sequel> Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters or locations other than my OC's. Every other character, location or other similarities are owned by Dreamworks.

" --- Follow the harrowing tales of Addison Agarson; from her days as a scrappy, young dragon rider in training, to how she made her mark in Berk history among its many fearless adventurers. The Berkian School of Dragon Training- more shortly known as just the School of Dragons, or the S.o.D- has finally opened its doors, thanks to the efforts of none other than Hiccup Haddock and his own band of riders. With what goal? Preparing the next generation of dragon trainers, of course. Addison happens to be amongst the first year class; a headstrong Viking with a loud personality and a habit of biting off more than she can chew. Already with a fully grown dragon of her own, she has the makings of a prodigy... if it weren't for the fact that she isn't exactly what you'd call an enthusiastic student. A girl with potential she may be, Addison has her own way of doing things- ways that don't always align with what her peers expect- or want- from her. But, she and her dragon Tide have a long few semesters ahead of them to survive, and it seems like Hiccup is going have his hands full trying to keep her rebellious nature in check. --- HTTYD OC story, AU and heavily canon divergent, and based off the HTTYD games- specifically SoD, Dawn of New Riders, and some aspects of Rise of Berk.

Y/n is a young girl in Berk who never wanted to hurt a dragon and doesn't believe dragons are as bad as everyone thinks they are. She believes that they are just misunderstood. What happens when she joins in dragon training and finds about Hiccup's secret. This is the first story I ever wrote so there are going to be LOTS of errors and it's going to be really bad but maybe I will come back and edit it, not sure yet. I don't own Httyd so credits to the creators. There will also be some spoilers of httyd 3 in this story
