Ragnar still spends most of his time trying to keep stubborn Vikings alive only now he's doing it on dragon back and away from Berk. He's a fully trained healer now and life on Dragon's Edge is definitely going to give him plenty more experience.
What starts off as a seemingly simple adventure to explore new lands and find new dragons soon uncovers a plot that may be bigger than all of them. With new allies and new enemies both, trouble seems to follow the Riders everywhere they go.
Ragnar knows things are changing. He knows something big is coming. He also knows Hiccup needs to stop being so reckless but, at this point, that one's more hope than anything.
Seven young adults living on their own island with basically no supervision. What could possibly go wrong?
This is a sequel to my story 'Tip the Dragon Scales'.

How to Train Your Dragon „Dragon's Yoke" - Fanfic
Far in the North, on the island of Berk, dragons are still the enemy. There is no friendship - only survival. After one brutal raid, a few dragons are captured, and young warriors receive a new task: not to slay them... but to tame them. The experiment soon spirals out of control. Some believe in strength and chains, others in patience and understanding. Every mistake draws blood - not always the dragon's. This is the story of the first attempts to break and train wild dragons - a tale of fear, pride, and the fragile line between control and trust. The same world, the same atmosphere - but without miracles or easy bonds. Only the harsh northern reality and the sound of wings in the dark. This is an alternative history of Berk - the same world, but events unfold differently. There is no Hiccup, no Toothless, no miracle of friendship - only the first, harsh attempts to master wild dragons. Cold winds, firelight, and the struggle between fear and control. A How to Train Your Dragon fanfiction - reimagined through a darker, more realistic lens. This story is a non-profit fan work inspired by How to Train Your Dragon (DreamWorks Animation / Cressida Cowell). All original characters, settings, and concepts belong to their respective creators.

Stormbound
After a near disaster, Hiccup and Astrid decide to visit Berk, leaving Fishlegs in charge of Dragon's Edge.

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.

How To Train Your Dragon The Other Son
Long ago, there was a village of vikings on a small island known as Berk, which suffered weekly, sometimes even nightly raids from fire breathing dragons. However the chief's wife, Valka, believed peace was possible between the Vikings and Dragons but no one believed her. During a terrible raid, she was taken by a dragon that showed signs of kindness. However she wasn't the only one taken since she grabbed her infant, Hiccup Haddock the Third, to keep him away from a fire started by the dragon who was startled by her husband. Unfortunately she couldn't grab her other son, a toddler, in time and he was left behind with his father. Over the years, the boy grew up hating dragons and counted down the days until he could join the warriors in battle, defending his village and avenging his brother and mother. However his father always kept him inside the forge during raids in fear of losing the only family he had left. There, the boy became a bit of an inventor as well as a decent blacksmith. However all of that changed when one night, using one of his inventions, he shot down the most dangerous and mysterious dragon in the entire Archipelago. The Night Fury...
(HTTYD) To Brave the Red Face of Death Alone
"This is Berk. It's three days north of hopelessness and a few degrees south of freezing to death. Located solidly on the meridian of misery." He sniffed, swiping at his eyes with the back of his hand. Choking out; "A-any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people even more so." He took a deep, shiveringly resolved breath. "And maybe one day they may understand dragons the way I do, but that day isn't today. So I can't stay here. I can't live with dragon killers any longer. This is where the path of my life parts from those in the Village of Berk." Run Away Fic that doesn't go to plan.Complete

Trapped (HTTYD)
"This is Berk. We have fishing, hunting, and charming views of sunsets. The only real problems we have are our enemies; Dragons. They plague the Archipelago like the Scourge of Odin. They took away many of our fellow Viking, including my childhood friend: Hiccup, who was too kind to be taken by anything with a conscience. The other problem that seems more relevant at the moment are the Outcasts. Vikings banished to Outcast Island for their crimes. Their leader - Alvin the Treacherous - wishing for nothing more than Berks destruction. They're a reckless and gullible lot who seem convinced that the fairy tale of the Dragon Master is real. I better keep my guard up if I want to get out of here." - Astrid Hofferson. (common sense would tell you, but I'll say it anyway: I don't own HTTYD. Just this story)Complete
Tip the Dragon Scales
Ragnar spends most of his time on Berk just trying to keep stubborn Vikings alive through dragon raids, the occasional wave of sickness, and (most often) their own recklessness. His best friend, Hiccup, happens to be one of the most stubborn and reckless Vikings on the island and he proves it when he does the impossible during an otherwise normal raid. Ragnar watches with a smile as events unfold and everything starts to change. After all, he's been telling Hiccup for years to stop trying to fit in with their 'traditional' ways. If things aren't working the way they are, then he just has to tip the scales in his favor. Who could have known all it would take to change everything was one scrawny Viking and an injured dragon? Well, Ragnar knew and, really, it's Hiccup's fault for not listening to him.Complete
