* AnonymousBenefactor: In "The House on the Sand", Hilda comes across a house on the beach and decides to spend the night there, unaware that this is the house where Victoria van Gale settled in following the adventure in "[[Recap/HildaS2E5 The Windmill]]". Victoria finds the sleeping Hilda and wants to attone for all the trouble she has caused, but knows how Hilda will likely react to seeing her considering what happened on their last two encounters. So she does not wake Hilda but quietly moves her to a better bed, and fills her backpack with new provisions and a map with directions back to Trolberg. Hilda never finds out it was Victoria who helped her and thinks it was a spirit or Nisse living in the beach house.

''Hilda: The Runaway AU'' (or ''The Runaway Hilda AU'') is a series of {{Alternate Universe Fic}}s based on ''WesternAnimation/{{Hilda}}'', written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/pikablob/pseuds/pikablob Pikablob]] and [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Nach0/ Nach0]].

The premise of the AU begins similarly to how ''[[Recap/HildaS2E13 The Stone Forest]]'' began, with Hilda working on getting ingredients for Frida's spell until she is promptly grounded by Johanna, which results in her attempting to use Nowhere Space to get to Frida's.

The divergence begins when, instead of her mother interfering, Hilda succeeds in her efforts and manages to get the ingredients for Frida. Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse when she returns home to an enraged Johanna, causing a massive fight between her and Johanna to ensue.

And so Hilda, ashamed and convinced her mother doesn't want her anymore, decides to [[TheRunaway run away into the wilderness]], causing a series of events that will change the lives of her, her friends, and her mother forever.

The fanfic series consists of the following works:
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29510901 To the Hills]]''
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29020464 The 5+1 Runaway Hilda AU]]''
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29377689 Room for One More]]''
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29460951 Full Disclosure]]''
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/30328947 Two Girls at a Bus Stop Station]]''
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29786652 Everything's Changed]]''
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/30138990 Nothing's the Same]]''
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29195157 The House on the Sand]]''
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31211201 One Runaway to Another]]''
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31421309 The Ones Left Behind]]''
