    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

    Fifteen-year-old Loki no longer feels like himself. He's angry all the time. He hates everything, mostly himself, because he's convinced there's something wrong with him. Frigga senses his pain but she can't reach him. Thor has moved out. Odin is emotionally unavailable. Loki doesn't have any friends. His teachers feel threatened by his intellect. And there's the bullies in school, the self-destructive voices in his head and a dark family secret waiting to be discovered.

    How much pain can a brittle psyche take? Read to find out.

    Summary

    Excerpt:

    "I won't hurt you."

    Again. Those four words. Words not even he knew he needed, but cannot accept.

    "I cannot know that."

    "You will see if you let me show you."

    "You don't want me." He shakes his head. He has to make him understand.

    "Yes I do. I do want you, and everything you are. All that you consider wrong of yourself I wish to see and examine over long nights." His gray eyes are so soft, fixed on Legolas'. "I believe we will both find them beautiful by the end of it."

    Or

    Legolas goes to find Strider, who is spending some time in Rivendell with his family.

    Trigger warning for suicidal ideation and graphic depiction of self harm.

    Summary

    Bilbo is sailing to the Undying Lands but wary of letting go of the guilt that has been with him for many decade. His most sincerest wish is to go back and change what was done. Before reaching the lands of peace and healing, he dies aboard the ship and finds that his wish is being granted, not because he is the one to wish it but because this is the dwarves last chance to escape a fate of eternal waiting. He finds that not only is he going to be sent back to his younger body, but so is the entire Company of Thorin Oakenshield. Time is a fickle thing and not all the members have their memories returned to them at the same time. The journey on becomes interesting as the dwarves slowly remember and fight for themselves and their kin, yet new hurdles are thrown at them when they realize that more people remember than expected...
