    Summary

    Dagur let out a cry and stumbled back. This was a dream. It had to be a dream. He dug his nails into his palms until he felt warm blood welling up between them. The pain was real. This was real. Which meant…

    “Oh my gods,” Dagur choked out. “I’m in the past?”

    But when? He eyed the mirror again: he really, really didn’t want to look in it. He hadn’t seen the face reflected in it for some time: that person, that kid was dead and buried under a mountain of pain and regret. That kid was from a simpler time.

    He looked at his hands, at his shaking and smooth hands that held no hardness.

    Hands that had never taken a life.

    (In which Dagur wakes up in the past on the day of the peace treaty with Berk. This changes everything.)

    Summary

    Hiccup didn’t think twice about being called and answering to brother when Dagur and Heather called. In hindsight, though, he probably should have been a bit more careful about it. Not everyone had the luxury of knowing all that history.

    Scratch that: he really should have been more careful with that, because now he was fairly certain the bounty hunter chasing him had called him Egilson spawn.

    Which, to be clear, an Egilson he was not. Haddock, yes. Third in a series of three and counting, might he add. Egilson? Not on that bounty hunter’s life.

    (In which Hiccup learns the truth about where he came from.)

    Summary

    Stoick the Vast, under the advisement of his best friend, had intended to allow his son into dragon training with the other kids his age, but he allowed his son to speak first and decided to honor his wishes. Hiccup would not fight dragons, and as a result, fate moved slightly to the left.

    Hiccup would not use what he learned while befriending Toothless to move up the ranks in dragon training and gain the attention of the entire village and the ire of Astrid. Instead, he would slowly fade into the background until no one even realized when he was missing from the village for days or even weeks at a time.

    Most importantly, his connection to dragons wouldn't be exposed to the world for quite some time.

    Which worked out for him and Toothless as the two had a growing flock to protect and rule as the draconic Kings of the Wilderwest.

    Summary

    Hiccup the Useless was not a fighter. He wasn't much of anything at all. He was a fine blacksmith, but even then people preferred to talk to Gobber when dropping off or picking up their gear. Hiccup could barely lift an axe or hammer, let alone wield one, which was why he had never been in dragon training and certainly wasn't expected to fight dragons. He was nowhere to be found during raids and even the increasing number of rogue dragons flying solo had never involved him.

    It makes sense, in hindsight, how no one had realized he was barely ever in the village anymore, even if it was strange how he'd gone from being a constant nuisance to a nonpresence overnight. What didn't make sense was why was he found unconscious in the middle of the night wearing strange armor and down a leg.

    While most didn't care about his accident and Stoick's only reaction was to restrict Hiccup's movements for his protection, Astrid was determined to figure out what Hiccup was hiding out in the forest.

     

    Come along for Season One of Kings of the Wilderwest: a story where Hiccup never joined dragon training and, as a result, his friendship with Toothless wasn't exposed quite so soon.

    Summary

    In which Astrid got to the cove just a few minutes too late, and Hiccup had already left. In which, six years later, the dragon raids are a thing of the past, but now a madman with a dragon army is threatening Berk. In which Astrid, now heir to the Chiefdom, convinces Stoick to ask the mysterious Dragon Master for help.

    Hiccup obliges. It's his fight, after all.

    However, he may have forgotten to anticipate how hard it would be to prepare for war alongside his old friends and family without letting them know it was him. But then again, what other choice does he have?

    Toothless is finding the whole situation highly amusing.

    Useless reptile.
