    Summary

    Eleven years ago, Hiccup had turned Berk's fate around by pioneering dragonriding in the Archipelago. Five years later, he'd lost his father. Eight years, and he'd given up his place as Chief. Now, he spent his time rescuing dragons, mapping the skies with Toothless, and parenting his kids. Yet, something was still missing.

    Far away in the north, a bastard sneaked around the kitchens, stealing sweet buns for the sister he couldn't call his own in a castle that didn't want him and never would. Every winter, people died in the city under the claws of beasts the court wizard couldn't keep away, and every winter, it got worse. The king needed to do something, and perhaps the tribe of Barbarians his people had encountered by accident would help. They had dragons, and you know what they said. Dragons were magic.

    Sneak peek:

    “He’s going to try for an alliance, you know?”
    “What?”
    The boy gave a noncommittal shrug.
    “My sister’s old enough to be married.”
    “I’m sorry, who’s your sister?”
    “Princess Marianne, the king’s been looking to marry her off to a decent match for a while, and Pitch wants her out of the castle.”
    Wait what?
    “But who are you?”

    Summary

    It's the first winter after Pitch's defeat. Jack is happy, he's not alone anymore, and his memories are gradually returning. But when a treasure hunt gone wrong puts Jack and Jamie in danger, flinging them through time and space, they find themselves on an island neither of them have heard of before. Jack's first priority is to get Jamie home safe, but Berk's inhabitants - human and otherwise - are certainly not making it easy.

    Knowing they will leave Berk and the Vikings behind as soon as they know how to, Jack is not going to risk the pain of growing close to any of these people (or dragons, for that matter). But Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, wearing his heart on his sleeve, doesn't seem to want to take the hint.

    Summary

    Following the internet success of Shane and Ilya's presentation at the NHL Awards, ESPN decided to contract with them to do a whole series. It goes far better than anyone could have dreamed.

    -or-

    “When you think about it,” Jackie said, when Shane had dinner with her and Hayden a few days later, “hockey’s basically already reality tv.”

    Summary

    Shane Hollander covers the Ottawa Centaurs with a discipline that borders on devotion. He was meant to be on the ice himself until his childhood best friend died and hockey became something he could only endure from the outside.

    When superstar Ilya Rozanov is suddenly traded from Boston to Ottawa, Shane can hardly breathe around the news. He will do whatever it takes to become Ilya’s assigned reporter, to earn proximity, to recover the career he lost and the man he has studied for years as if admiration could substitute for touch.

    What Shane doesn’t know is that Ilya didn’t come to Ottawa for hockey.

    Summary

    The problem, Shane muses in hindsight, is that he commits to things too hard.

    He puts his all into everything. He wouldn’t be who he is without it.

    The fact that he can’t resist a challenge, even if it’s stupid, is more of the problem than anything else.

    In which Shane has hidden talents, Ilya runs to catch up, the internet spirals, and Yuuri, Viktor and Yuri are dragged along for the ride…
