  1. Summary

    Welcome to Nova’s Heights, a city filled with those with supernatural powers (Spectrals). Though, not all is as magical as it may seem, as cruel discrimination is seen towards all those who don’t have supernatural abilities (Blanks) and those who bare additional inhuman traits (hybrids).

    Follow our four protagonists (Pearl, Scott, Scar, and Impulse) on their different journeys and their experiences with the world around them. We will still be writing other perspectives, but mostly stick to those four.

    This series will be kept is chronological order to the best of our ability, but the first four works will all be backstory to the rest of the series.

    Summary

    “NO!” Grian cried, pulling the key out of his car, engine going silent after the series of disconcerting clicks and clunks.

    He groaned in despair, resting his head against his hands on the steering wheel.

    “...What happened?” Scar asked.

    “Battery’s dead. I’ve been ignoring it for so long, I guess I forgot that I needed it replaced,” Grian replied.

    “I can’t get home, all the buses have left, Mumbo left, and the storm is too bad for any mechanics to come.” From every angle, he was screwed.

    “...Do you want to stay at my apartment?” Scar offered nervously.

    Grian’s head snapped towards him, hoping the wave of relief he felt wasn’t too obvious. Or the blush he could feel creeping along his face.

    “If you’re sure you don’t mind?”

    OR: Grian is a cashier who hates his job, and Scar is the pet supply shop owner who comes to the store every single night. When Grian's car won’t start in the middle of a bad snowstorm, Scar lets him stay at his apartment.

    Or or: another modern!au scarian where they're lonely and gay for each other, and the author has a lot of thoughts about life

    Summary

    Dagur scares most of the people in his tribe. Which suits him just fine. Most people either wanted to replace him or use him to get ahead, and he knows this well even at the prime age of 10. So Hiccup is a breath of fresh air.
    Hiccup knows people on Berk would rather that he not exist. He tries to make himself disappear as much as possible. So Dagur’s arrival while Hiccup is seven is the chance to have someone actually want to see him.
    What if their relationship had been friendlier?
    What if Dagur had been a little more possessive a little earlier?
    What could happen?

    Summary


    a desperate human is far more dangerous than any dragon

    When given a choice between all he's ever known, and the wilderness beyond it, Hiccup chooses the latter. Now, five years later, he has abandoned humanity, mimicking the behaviours of his brother - Toothless - and the rest of their flock. Content to leave his entire childhood in the past, Hiccup is dragged back into fifteen years of unpleasant memories when his peers from Berk crash into his new home. He soon finds his allegiances split between the new life he has built for himself, and the one he abandoned.

    Berk is starving, plagued by constant dragon raids and empty seas. The heir to the chiefdom, Astrid, leads the expedition to find the famed dragon master, and beg for his help in stopping the raids. Little does she know, behind the mask, is somebody she's been mourning for years.

    Summary

    Five years after Hiccup flees Berk to avoid having to kill the Monstrous Nightmare, Drago Bludvist is knocking down Berk's door. He never expected to see the others again, let alone for them to ask for his help. Only, they didn't know it was him. They knew him as the mysterious dragon rider with the Night Fury and their only hope at saving Berk.

    Drago was coming after Berk because of Hiccup, which meant that this war was his responsibility. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third was about to come back to life in the eyes of everyone in Berk. But now he was stronger, faster, older, taller, more confident, and a great fighter. He could take down Drago Bludvist, it was his father he was worried about. And Astrid Hofferson. The two scariest people on Berk.
