It all started with a smell. That had been what made Shikamaru take notice of Naruto. Some things about the 'boy' just didn't add up and the more Shikamaru thought about it the more he began to wonder what Naruto wasn't telling people, and, if Shikamaru was correct, why was Naruto hiding it in the first place? The genius just hoped he was right otherwise things could get awkward!

The first thing everyone noticed about Hope Potter was that she may have had her mother's face, but she had her father's penchant for causing trouble or somehow finding it, and it only made sense that danger was attracted to her very scent. She was going to prove she was more than just the Girl-Who-Lived. (Fem!Harry) Mostly canon-compliant, diverging in book eight

What if Hiccup always had a very close friend from early childhood? What if fate had deemed that this friend become a human/dragon hybrid. How would life play out for a lonely Viking girl who's hated by her tribe and her friend who's torn between two races at war? Retelling of the first movie with female Hiccup and male Astrid. Rated M for occasional violence.
