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.

Renegade (a HTTYD runaway story) by Emoimerh

Complete!!! Hiccup was always a nuisance to the vikings on Berk. He was viewed as a runt, a shame, and a screw up. That all changed when he became the top of dragon training, and finally gets the chance everyone thought he only dreamed of. To kill a dragon in front of the entire village. Stoick was proud of his son, he had almost lost hope in him. Now, he proved everyone wrong, or so they thought. Hiccup wanted nothing more than to have this chance his entire life! However, that was before he met and bonded with Toothless, a night fury he had shot down weeks ago. Now, he wanted to escape, but not without attempting to convince the vikings that dragons weren't the real threat. He thought his monstrous nightmare match would be the perfect setting for such a feat. When things go sideways, when Toothless saves Hiccup, he has a choice, stay and try one last shot of convincing Berk, or flee with his best friend. He chooses the best option, he flees. Now, he is branded as a trator, a renegade. Stoick practically disowns him and he is never heard from again. five years later, Berk hears mighty tales of a grand hero who rides a night fury. Many call him 'Night Rider', 'Dragon Tamer', and 'Mysterious Rider'. Many doubted that this hero could be their traitorous ex heir to the Berkian leadership. After all, he was described as having a prosthetic leg, very tall, confident, and extremely buffed, while Hiccup was the opposite of all these descriptions. But... why then, has this new hero never visited Berk? And what will happen when he finally dose? Feel free to comment! I will also edit things I want everything to be amazing. If you catch an auto correct moment or anything that is an eye sore let me know please! I don't own any HTTYD franchise. there willl be some Hicstrid moments, but it will mainly focus on Toothless/Hiccup brotherhood. Yes, Valka will make an appearance and it will cover HTTYD 1 and 2.

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.

The soul of a dragon (Completed) by MikaZStories

It's the story of a young Viking. Actually, he isn't that young anymore. He's 23 years old now. His name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. 8 years ago, he had to run away from his beloved home Berk because he became best friends with a creature that no Viking should ever become friends with: a dragon. Follow the brave Viking on a journey filled with joy, pain and even love, as he comes back to Berk... quite unexpectedly. 20/07/18: Changed the dialogue format and corrected a few grammatical errors. (There may still be a few errors, if so, feel free to tell me in the comment sections!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE HTTYD FRANCHISE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover by: @heysierra

Runaways by PersiaLionheart

Yes, it's another one of these but I really wanted to do another one and hopefully better than the other one. "What if we left for good?" "What do you mean?" Hiccup was planning to run away but now that Astrid knows his secret, he doesn't know what to do. Then Astrid comes up with a crazy idea that might just save them. They leave for good. Or that's what they thought. 7 years later, Hiccup and Toothless along with Astrid and Stormfly crash land on berk and chaos ensues and probably the greatest threat they would ever have to face. All characters are owned by dreamworks and/or Cressida Cowell. I just own this storyline.

Will it be forever? by TheDemiDragonGod

This is book 2 of my Hiccstrid fanfiction series, which is why I highly recommend reading the first book, 'Don't Leave Me' before commencing with this.

Not long after the accident, Hiccup receives some bad news. How will the Chief of Berk and his friends handle this? Find out in the second installment of my Hiccstrid fanfiction series! - Last chapter published: 10.3.2015 Last edit: 11.25.2019
