Summary
A small part of him felt cheated, in a way. This was supposed to be his success. Astrid was definitely learning from his friendship with Toothless, so all of the praise she was getting was supposed to be his. He was the one learning about dragons, and he would have used all this knowledge to get their training sessions as short as possible if it wasn’t for Astrid constantly beating him to it.
But a much more prominent part of him figured this was better. He didn’t want the glory anymore. He didn’t want anyone to think he was a dragon killer prodigy. He didn’t want people to swarm him now that he was finally hanging out with a friend who actually liked Hiccup for who he was, not demanding he changed in the least. Toothless was much better company than the Vikings of Berk.
---
A world where Astrid finds out the truth much earlier and doesn't tell anyone everything she learns is from observing Toothless and Hiccup.

Summary
"Exile still seems the best option, Stoick..."
Stoick should have known better. While he didn't know much about his son-especially now-he knew the boy was clever. It should have been no surprise when a guard burst into the Council Meeting and revealed that Hiccup had escaped the cell Stoick put him in...hours after the boy was revealed to have saddled a dragon.
Hiccup is gone, and so is the beast.
They search, but do not find him. Berk falls asleep one night and awakens in the Great Hall, where the torches come to life and cast an image of their isle on the wall, from which floats Hiccup's voice, years younger.
AKA, Hiccup forfeited the final challenge, leaving Astrid with the right to kill the Nightmare. Story picks up in the Race to the Edge era, except Berk never learned the truth of dragons, no one knows how Hiccup really lost his leg, and stories of a hooded 'vigilante' riding a Night Fury have been long whispered...and Berk will see it all unfold.
Stoick the Vast and Berk watch How to Train Your Dragon...and beyond.
