Summary
Surviving in the wilderness really isn't all it's cracked up to be.
After being gone for a year, John Dory returns to the Troll Tree to find it completely empty. Save for one troll: His baby brother, Branch. Thinking the trolls and the rest of his family dead, he sets off once again to the Neverglade Trail, this time, with his baby brother in tow. Fueled by fear, guilt, and voices from the past he just can't seem to escape, he wonders if he made the right decision.
But he promised his brother he would never leave him again. So he wouldn't.
Besides, he was never known for his great decisions anyways.
(Based on the song "Great Decisions" by Judah & the Lion)
...
Or... I needed to write more John Dory and Branch ANGST, so here's my rewrite of canon, where John Dory goes back and raises Branch out in the wilderness, and other subsequent shenanigans. Let's see how this goes, shall we?

Summary
Two boys were waiting on the porch.
They were as familiar to him as his own reflection. They were complete strangers. Darry wondered if they, too, felt the enormity of this moment, the first time they'd all three been together in nearly eight years. They had to, right? Or maybe they were just overwhelmed. A new (old) home, two new (old) brothers—it was a lot for one day. Then Soda took a tentative step forward.
"Darry?"
Or, Darry was only twelve when his parents were killed in a car wreck, and he and his brothers—eight-year-old Sodapop and five-year-old Ponyboy—were split up by the state. When he successfully receives guardianship of them at nineteen, he suddenly finds himself raising two boys he hasn't seen, let alone spoken to, in close to a decade.

But what happens when he finally returns?

It's been 3 years since his parents and grandpa were taken after Trollstice. JD, now 16 years old, has been dealing with a Troll that hurts him, taking care of his siblings, a grandma who can't walk well, and with the BroZone band. At the last BroZone concert, he messed up, sending him into a spiral.
After that concert, he decides to leave, not because of the fight but because he's scared. After saying goodbye to Branch, he left for the Neverglades. Still on his way to the mountain trail, he found 2 wounded and unique trolls, younger than him, who will make JD understand that running away would not solve anything.
After helping them get better, he decides to go back to the tree with his brothers and grandma and tell them the truth.

JD comes back home a month after leaving, with the 2 trolls, only to find out his brothers left, leaving Branch with their grandma. The presence of the 2 new trolls in the family will change things in their lives.

Summary
“For younger kids, you might know the eight elements. Such as earth, fire, water/ice, wind, thunder, nature, sun and moon, but do you know the ‘lesser elements’? The lesser elements are elements that aren't well known or aren't an actual element.”
“In certain stories, the lesser elements are said to be actual elements, BUT they aren't. Some people like to believe what they think is true, they deny what they think is false. The lesser elements are more of a concept than actual elements, they take something that is valuable and effective to our world and it creates a lesser element.”

Summary
[An AU where Amon + Tarrlok survive the explosion and Amon's lieu is a waterbending girl Amara, and they've got all sorts of feelings for each other].
They were supposed to be ghosts.Noatak is a shell, his "Amon" mask exploded with that damn boat. Tarrlok's reduced to a fallen prince scrubbing lye-smelling sheets in a Ba Sing Se inn, haunted by the "nothingness" of his lost waterbending.
And then there’s Amara; the lieutenant who stayed, the girl who bloodbends with a sardonic heart, trying to outrun the shadow of her own father.
When Zaheer offers them a seat at the Red Lotus table, it seems like a Spirit-given gift. Their blood for his "equality."
I deserved worse.

Summary
"I would never court Penelope Featherington."
The sentence was declared by one of the most sought after bachelors, one of the Bridgerton brothers, in fact.
If one wants to be even more precise, they’d say the third born.Precisely, the one and only Colin Bridgerton.
And it wouldn’t even be much of a scandal for such sentence to be uttered by the male specimen (they do, let’s admit so, judge, compare, laugh about the available gentlebred ladies of the ton), if not for the fact that the above mentioned lady, Penelope Feathering , was right behind the young man, when it was uttered in front of… well, basically the whole ton.
She was sure then and there: she will never marry and will forever be forced to stay with her mother.
However the one and only Viscount Anthony Bridgerton would be more than glad to have her as HIS wife instead.

Summary
The idea of his baby brother walking away from the Estate with the confidence of a Pillar made his stomach twist into painful knots. A demon slayer was already a prime target for demons - a feast for those around them. But a Hashira was different - they were targets for the Upper Ranks and the most dangerous enemy for someone like Kibutsuji. The most ferocious, determined warriors that were forever labeled the strongest of the Corps.
Something he knew very well that Genya was not.
