Summary
Pre-HTTYD1, Snotlout finds a mirror that lets him see into the future! Naturally, he shows this off to the other teens in his generation, Chief Stoick, and his right-hand-man Gobber. Unfortunately, Hiccup wasn't invited, though the more they see of the future, the more it's obvious that something changed in a big way, and Hiccup's future self is right in the middle of it.
OR: pre-HTTYD1 characters react to Race To The Edge episodes, but I gave Snotlout the remote (at least at first).

Summary
Snotlout waved his hands over the mirror. “Show me myself twenty years into the future!”
To the amazement of everyone gathered, the surface of the mirror rippled like it was made of water and a stone had been dropped into the center. When the ripples passed, a new image was left behind. Not the reflection of the roof of the Great Hall, like it had been before, but the side-view of a man who looked remarkably like Snotlout, but older.
“Holy yak dung, it worked!” Snotlout exclaimed, leaning further over the mirror. “It’s my future self! What is he doing?”
OR: 14-year-old Snotlout finds a magic mirror that shows the future. 34-year-old Snotlout is trying to balance two jobs he loves, raising his son, his long-distance relationship with his wife and daughter, and his closest friendships on Berk. Unfortunately, with the week-long Thawfest festival approaching fast, emotions are running high.

God Valley Divergence, MANGA SPOILERS.
Shamrock's role within the Freedom Fighters was acting as something of a secretary for his dad, taking notes, keeping track of their schedule, that sort of thing. But because they went up against the government, his dad was always scared that someone would discover the link between them and target Shamrock to try and make his dad give up on his goals. Already, the local armies of the countries they led protests in sometimes shot at them.
Or: What if Dragon managed to save Shamrock at God Valley?

Summary
When a Donquixote pirate driven by blind revenge shows up at Kyros's house, the present Strawhats, Sabo, and Law suddenly find themselves thrown into an expansive desert! And, as Sabo is quick to discover, two years into the past!
“We just need to figure out where we’ve been sent,” Zoro decided. “If that pirate just wanted to hit us in revenge, he might have sent us somewhere random. Same if he just wanted us out of the way to try and re-overthrow the country. If this was an attack with any thought behind it, he would have sent us somewhere where we would be surrounded by enemies.”
“That, or this is a desert island with no life, where we will all starve to death without any need to waste the lives of his own men,” Robin countered.
“So morbid!” Usopp shouted back, though his knees started to shake.

Summary
“They must receive an allowance from the Order,” Kote said.
“How much, then?” Rex asked up at him.
Kote tipped his head and just stared into Rex’s eyes endlessly, the way he did when people asked him questions that made him want to swallow them whole with their own ignorance.
“No way of knowing without intrusive measures,” he determined.
“We gotta ask one,” Bly translated for Rex.
(The troopers make a discovery of the fiscal variety, which causes them to realize that they may have more in common with the jedi than they previously thought.)

Summary
The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.
Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???
...
Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

Summary
The rogue SecUnit that calls itself Murderbot is on a boring contract when something goes very wrong. It ends up stuck with a kid, hunted by a corporate alliance that wants the kid dead, and reluctantly allied with an asshole research transport that claims to have its best interests in mind.
