Modern AU. Returning to Berk to visit her family, internationally-renowned soccer star Astrid Hofferson literally runs into old school friend Hiccup Haddock. Agreeing to meet up, a misunderstanding leads to the shock global news that Astrid is engaged-to Hiccup. Astrid's manager sees an opportunity and persuades them to sustain the lie. Chaos ensues…

Across his journey, the Hero of the wild had experienced little but sorrow and regret. And yet, despite his status, none could help him. None except an old friend, whom the hero had forgotten. A fiercely loyal warrior who he had met in a past life. A man who was more than capable and willing to help the hero. (First story. Feel free to be honest in review. Tell me how to fix it.)

She grew up living in the shadow of her clan's greatest shame. When a rare dragon is shot down in a raid and offered up to the winner of dragon training, Astrid Hofferson sees it as a chance to finally prove herself. But a chance encounter with a Deadly Nadder leads to a change of heart, throwing her life and the future of Berk into chaos. AU. Hiccstrid.
