* AwesomeButImpractical: Hiccup's Siegebreakers, which border on CoolButInefficient. Siegebreakers are basically cannons using Zippleback gas as a gunpowder substitute. They were designed to be used when dragons weren’t available and are a gamechanger in a world where gunpowder was never discovered. Unfortunately, they suffer from several major drawbacks. First off, they are very costly to produce. The amount of metal used to create just six alone was equivalent to that of several hundred axes, swords, and shields. In addition, they are extremely heavy, requiring a total of ''eight'' dragons to move both the cannons and their ammunition. The fact that dragons are even needed for transporting the weapons defeats their purpose of being used for when dragons are unavailable. And with eight dragons, one might as well not have the Siegebreakers at all. This is even acknowledged in-universe, with many characters preferring the comparatively BoringButPractical method of having dragons smash through enemy fortification.

* ChekhovsGun: The nation of Avalon gets briefly mentioned in early chapters. Later, [[spoiler:Elsa receives a letter from the Emrysian Order asking her to AbdicateTheThrone, since their laws forbid magic-users from holding political office. At the same time, Hiccup learns from Heather that several Avalonian ships have been spotted sailing near Mathantir.]]

* DeadFic: Last updated July 31, 2019, and to add further insult to injury, the above-advertised couple, Hiccup and Elsa, have yet to meet face-to-face let alone learn each other's name.



* AHeroToHisHometown: To the people of Radvo, Drago is basically a FolkHero and his family gets treated like royalty. [[spoiler: Even after being told of Drago's crimes, the citizens of Radvo refuse to believe them and insist that Drago was a liberator.]]

* TaxidermyTerror: Drago Bludvist's home is filled with the dragon skulls and skeletons. Snotlout is disgusted by this and plans to give the bones a proper BurialAtSea.

* WhatMeasureIsAMook: At the end Chapter 1, Hiccup has the Northern Alliance’s officers he’s captured placed on ships before setting those ships on fire. The remains of those ships are later found off the coast of Alvsted, with the burnt corpses of the officers onboard. Elsa is horrified and is worried about how to tell the dead sailors' families.

Kill Em All was renamed Everybody Dies Ending due to misuse. Dewicking


** Also, Elsa is shown to have no problem with Uttland's KillEmAll attitude towards dragons. Given that dragons are still seen as AlwaysChaoticEvil by most of Europa, this is justified.

Removed misuse. Shared Universe is for works by different authors in the same setting, not crossovers in general.


* SharedUniverse: Berk, Arendelle, [[Franchise/{{Tangled}} Corona]], and [[WesternAnimation/{{Brave}} Dunbroch]] all exist in the same setting. In addition, Kristoff also mentions [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Agrabah]].
