Popular Spinoff AUs

 * Noah's Ark Circus

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Hiccup is most often portrayed as an animal-tamer, using his skills with animals to entertain.

More often than not, Toothless is portrayed as either a lion - Hiccup being the only one able to tame and befriend him - or a snake of some sort.

Merida DunBroch
For her skills in archery, Merida is usually seen using her archery skills for tricks, death-defying or otherwise. Usually, Merida is portrayed as running away and joining the circus, unable to take on the pressures placed upon her by her overbearing mother and the responsibilities of a privileged household.

Rapunzel Corona
Rapunzel is most often portrayed as a hair-hanging acrobat, using her long hair to suspend herself and perform aerial acrobatics just as she does in-canon.
