The Wings of War
Summary:
Fifteen years have passed since the battle with Drago Bludvist. Since then, Berk and its allies have lived in relative peace, banding together to fend off whatever trouble finds its way to the Archipelago. But as The Gathering of the Chieftains arrives, rumours abound of an encroaching dragon-riding army, tinging the ceremonies with dread rather than joy.
Hiccup and the other dragon riders will be faced once again with an old foe; their children will try to find their way in childhoods interrupted by violent conflict; and Toothless will rediscover parts of his past thought to be forever lost. In a tale of love, grief, and revenge, none can escape the shadow cast by the wings of war.

Another Wings of War post: The animation team did fucking phenomenal "camera" angles in those two episodes. I mean, the first one literally opens up with Hiccup's perspective while flying in battle! And whoever did the battle scenes? *chef's kiss*!!! So well done!

What if Krogan had just. Left Viggo on the Edge instead of taking him. Like imagine how that would have gone down. The Riders walk into the clubhouse and just. Find Viggo just sitting there waiting for them. And they were all deadass convinced he was dead so they just do a double take and are like "okay what in the fuck". And Viggo, ever reverent of Hiccup and hoping to get to see his crush again, literally doesn't care if the Riders lock him up or whatever. Like he just wants to see Hiccup.

"Return of the Jedi" (1983) had a female X-Wing Pilot, who's scenes ended up hitting the cutting room floor.

I vouch for the Dragon Riders getting cuddle time and sleep time after The Wings of War. They were so fucking busy. When was the last time they slept?
