what if branch was a rock troll like she left her village and found a new music she just appeared in rock city one day looking like death warmed over it took months for the doctors to even get her name from her they'd just been calling her pebbles.

Her grandpa blurigard was a full blooded rock troll so branch had inherited her grandpas full blood rockness and wat if blurigards family was still alive and the fam would be shocked to discover that their long lost relative blurigard had actually had a family before he passed away, Branch would be the only rock troll in the family besides her grandfather and mom who would be half rock troll

branch is a full blooded rock troll who got pop troll coloring

When the hospital finally made the choice they called the number they had gotten from a different rock trolls medical file was this aginst protocal? probably but this troll needed to know this family needed to know.

After all this family had looked for answers for years and this time they had the answers.

Sid was  shocked to receive a phone call from the hospital that tells them that they have discovered he has a relative his phone held tight to his ear the world fading into noise.

He had a relative in the hospital? 

Who?

He rushed the  fuck over with his friends because what the actual fuck?! 

Sid was  shocked when the doctors showed him the test results "we wouldn't have called you if we weren't Sure we ran the test three times each time the same result your one of her couisn's"

Then they allowed Sid to enter branch's room Sid could see the family resemblance.

The troll was a muddy Cyan color and her hair was a charcoal black with blue tint

Branch was laying down and turned her head to look over at the door.

Branch was confused as to why this troll was in her room she even asked "Who are you why are you here?" her eyes flicking from him to the doctors.

Sid had tears building in his eyes as he cautiously walked towards branch and introduce himself to her slowly sitting down next to the bed.

"I'm..I'm Sid Fret and I think I'm your cousin?" He says sitting next to her and tentatively taking her hand into his it was small compared to his  "You don't sound so sure I'm branch..but they've been calling me pebble"

Sid nervously chuckles at the nickname "that it's cute" he responds then explains that he's just nervous about meeting her since he just found out that he had cousin and branch pulls out an album she had hidden in her hair shows Sid an old family album of her family and shows an old pic of a young Rosie and Blurigard.

"oh shit yeah that's a rock troll" he says pointing at Blurigard "you can tell by the ear shape and his Hight somewhat but the muddy colors definitely a rock troll "

"huh. Grandpa did say I always took more to his side of the family than my brothers did."

"Wait what was your grandpas name?"

"Blurigard why? Sid are you okay?"

Chapter Text

What if Branch was still a pop star but she had like the popstar persona when she's on stage and then she just has this grumpy I f****** hate you guts type attitude when she's not

In wat au would this be in though or is it a new one

I don't know should it be a new one? I feel like she would of changed her name from bitty b to something else though she climbed her way to the top but she has her gray self to hide the fact she is or was a famous pop star. Prehaps she stopped performing for a while

Let's put it on the back burner for now or we can incorporate it into one the other fics if u want

Or she could be a retired popstar wit legendary status

Yes

What if sid noticed Billy's interest in branch I know canonically rock trolls aren't the brightest but like I feel this is something straight up he'd notice cuz family

Yes he'd be protective of his new found cousin but also try to subletly help him or branch realize their feelings for eachother
And wat do u think about the family getting involved too u know playing matchmaker

They would totally do that hell even barb would get involved

But they're not going make it easy through

Nope sid is going to learn that branch is stubborn as a buffalo

True she inherited it from her grandpa it turns out it was Rosie who pursued blurigard when they first met

Wat if sid works as a part time sound engineer for various bands and billy happens to be one of his clients

Well isn't that what he does canonically? According to the wiki anyways id double check tho

Yea he does and wat if he inherited a recording studio

I can see that but also branch knows how to work machines cannoniclly as well I can see her working outside like half way in an angler bus trying to figure out whats wrong with the kving piece of machinerly

Oh i can see that. Plus branch would help out her cuz around the studio and the angler buses. Wat if branch was wondering around the city running some errands for Sid and stumbled upon billy and his band having trouble

I will never understand why they went with living vehicles like cool concept and all. I can also see that she just walks over fixes what ever it was that broke and walked away

Neither will I but even poppy and branch went in a talking balloon. Billy and the band were too busy arguing that they barely noticed her until their sound equipment began working properly again

That I think bothered me a lot more then it should have. They would of seen sid fist bump a muddy cyan troll as they walked away after their equipment was working

Well just remember it's pure fiction and merely a cartoon

"Sup. looks like her really does know her way around machines after all."

Plus since Billy is this cool and swivel troll wat if whenever Branch's around he makes a complete fool of himself

Oh my god mammy would.make him work for her approval to marry her great great granddaughter

Yes she would

Like you want my baby prove it bitch

Yes and branch is just oblivious to the whole situation

Lol like the poor girl is like what's going on oh nothing oh okay?

Her hex girl cousins invite branch to jam wit them as their singer and gave her a makeover & poor Billy was a goner

The poor bastard lil

Can u Imagine the looks on her bros faces when they meet their rock family and meet Branch's husband billy

Oh my god we need to do it better yet they have a baby, either way works for me

Either

Wat if barb initiated a tribal summons since branch is her one of ambassadors/voice of reason and brozone happens to be Poppy's ambassadors or tagalongs.

I agree 🙌

.Plus branch is currently pregnant when barb decided on the summons

.so imagine the looks on their faces when they see a pregnant branch being accompanied by an elderly troll doting on her

Chapter Text

How does Billy even feel when branch asked him for his phone number

Like poppy did when she found out branch was a member of brozone and was bitty b

Lol true plus now barb is getting in on the action too once branch to explain how they really met. That had barb laughing like crazy

Yes yes it did she refused to explain to branch why she was laughing too

After they finished shopping they went to see branchs family and barb was surprised by the warm welcome and even got to call Mortica mammy too

Yes

Plus wat do u think about them performing a concert like summons for each tribe and then presenting them the real official summons wit branch leading the charge

HA I LOVE STAR WARS if branch was a Jedi what order do you think they'd be part of also your move

THAT'S GENIUS

It's the best part of being a nerd

Surprise me on that one

That's the problem would branch be natural or part of the order or a syth if she was part of the order she'd probably be a legend

Branch mostly relies on instincts in order to survive and has to keep a logical head at times when needed

Very true...Also your turn btw idk but If branch was being courted by a troll who would it be and why

It's now your turn also while Brigette is a sweet heart she and all other burgens are fucking ugly like wtf

Ik RIT, but now barb has poppy on her hit list

Yes yes she does...like every thing else was so cute and shit and they threw in literal cannibalism

Yea thats the magic of animation

It's funny though it's not a Disney movie with out some form of death in it. What makes it worse I'm not wrong

Know ur not

But like of all the routes they could have gone they went with cannibalism

Plus barb ends up spending the nit sleeping over with branch and the next day the get to work on the summons

Lol yes

Wat if barb and branch select each group of bands to perform for each tribe including Branch's cousins the hex girls and bad hair day & branch asks if she could preform wit her cousins for pop village to the song trap of love

I feel like barb would agree but branch would be heavily disguised

On which part

If she was to go she'd wear a disguise to look less like branch in order to keep trolls from harassing her

Wat if she dressed like Daphne from mystery inc when she preformed wit the hex girls, but plot twist Ron and melody and cooper know it's her

That's an idea and that's how mammy became a great great great mammy

Chapter Text

I wish I could translate with out Google translate because I'm getting asked by a reader in Spanish questions witch are amazing about garden and I'm using Google translate to read and respond

That's fine honey

Like they just asked if branch could use glifs like in owl house! I didn't even consider that! So now that might become cannon!

Trust me I'm Hispanic and I still suck at speaking Spanish too and that is super genius why didn't we think of that. We should include it what if she had one similar to like string bean or owlbert

While I love string bean I adore owlbert cute little guy both are so adorable but just owls

What if we created as a combo of both of them a snake with owl wings

Kinda like a chimera

Plus branch using gifs would make her the first and only one being able to use it and has journals upon journals of gifs combos and descriptions of each one and yes like chimera

I like it kinda a poison ivy owl house combi

Yes it is plus imagine the looks at everyones faces when they meet Branch's palisman

Just pure shock because they've never seen it before best part she found the fucking staff in a cave and was like this is mine now holy shit your actually alive I'm keeping you

She spoils it rotten

Yes

Plus when she uses it to fly their faces especially the fuck trolls was priceless
I meant funk trolls

I fucking snorted the fuck trolls hahaha 😂🤣

Shall we combine the two comments with branch and mammy and the bzone

Qui

Chapter Text

Also your move but also Branch being married to tresillo and having no memory of the pop trolls

Ooh a new one tell me about it

What if branch lost all memories of being a pop troll after a few years of being gray and was found wandering by the bounty hunters the Reggaeton group immediately taking control and trying with help from the others to get this husk of a troll talking but she doesn't even remember her own name let alone what genre she was

Ooh 🤯 I luv it

Shall we?

Qui Mon Cheri 😉 Plus wat do u think about making adding to while branch lost her memories she taught/raised by the creatures of the forest

I feel like she'd remember her survival skills

Wat if they helped her improve it

So have this Touch starved Branch

Intrigued go on

Well pop trolls are touchy and huggy with everyone but the gray troll First troll to show her positive affection she's not allowed a child to him like this is mine no you can't have them they have given me the affection not you mine like an angry cat OR she's going to go what are you doing why are you doing this and if she's told it's affection she's going to look at them and go did I tell you to stop like this is the first time I've gotten a hug that I willingly and cooperating with please just hug me until I tell you stop because I'm uncomfortable you actually were like hey I'ma give you a hug and then hug you didn't just suddenly hug me like some people

I can see that and double ⏫ muv 😘

what do you think about this one for amnesia Branch she actually roams a while before she actually gets together with tresillo

I like it

Since branch roams awhile, she visits all the tribes but mostly interacts wit the wildlife and local residents would try to interact wit her

I can see that. I like it what if she ended up settling near the reggaeton tribes settlement

Chapter Text

Also ur turn btw I had an interesting idea for crystal

What was it?

Well I had an idea on how to start the official first chapter if you wanted to hear it

Yes gurl

So it starts during the night with slavers around a camp fire and a cage with trolls of various ages in it. However branch and her fellows know about them and because of the funk trolls they can make underwater breathing apparatuses that goes only in the mouth and allows one to breath through the regulator. Branch being lean and frail as she appears is an amazing underwater swimmer due to having some very intense night vision due to the side effects of a feral life style. We will need to put a nudity warning because branch and her fellows are at the edge of the river much farther down branch would strip off whatever it is she was wearing and walk into the water the regulator clamped between her teeth as she slowly sunk below the water as the others took to the trees and sky's branch would swim silently to the camp set by the trolls and slowly poke her head up out of the water doing a finger infront of her face as a shushing motion as a captive troll spots the water being disterbed as she rises out of it the trolls on land standing quickly because a lot of water being disterbed at once is a good sign of hey big scary thing here or a tree of some sort fell in tp the water nope its the fucking queen in her fucking birthdau suit she would spit out the regulater and hold up a knife with a blank look on her face. "Surrender or die"

Fucking yes bitch

Like can you picture the terror? She's fucking naked with a knife her hair is plastered to her body and other trolls are just dropping out of trees as she moves forward using the knife to lift the chin of one of the slavers with a melancholy smile on her face "your kind still haven't learned have you? Round them up free the captives" All the fucking while she has no fucking care in the world for her state as illegal shit happening on her turf

Yes after they free the captives, branch and those remaining decide to get rid of them for good
Branch gives them a wicked smile as she lifts her knife as she says, "Night Night"

Better she turns and walks back towards the water picking up the regulator as she goes saying " get the captives back to the city then deal with the trash" before walking back into the water and vanishing

Oh I luv it. The captives were a bit weary of the these new trolls, but it was better than wat their former keepers did

"Please follow us. We'll take u somewhere safe."

Chapter Text

Okay so rock troll branch like she just became a rock troll. What if they where visiting rock city having been invited by barb and branch is either her ambassador or her partner

Is barb a dude in this or a chick cuz I'm fine wit either

I like the idea of big butch lesbian with her girl friend because branch being the version from crystal

So where were we 💬

Lesbians I'm sorry I typed before I thought 😂

I meant like the setting like does it take place in pot village Rock City or trollstopia I meant pop 🤣

Either rock city or trollstopia. I love how my response to your first question was fucking lesbians though

I luved it

Just no thoughts just gay trolls 🌈🤣

For barb and branch : Hallelujah it's raining chicks

Because big butch barb is a vibe with frail looking girlfriend

Branch adores her girlfriend and gets affectionate wit her

Ye shall we?

Qui mon cheri

😊

Lol I'm in the Addams mood

YES BITCH!!!!!!!!!!! Barb as Gomez and branch as Mortica

Ohhh what if trolls knew branch had left her village but like didn't know she swapped genres

Wat if branch wear similar styles of clothing that Morticia wears by rock style. The same goes wit barb

I can see that but like they don't dress up very often branch dresses up more because barb thinks she looks hot and keeps buying her shit also your move

Yes barb only wears the suit on special occasions or for business

But she will occasionally wear a button down that's pitch black with the sleeves rolled up and ripped jeans and combat boots

👍

Chapter Text

Should Ron and Mel be in this one?

We can have them acting as the caretakers of pop village while peppy is away and branch does FaceTime them so they can keep in touch

Yes

Ok, how's this for the mother one remember your suggestion of branch being a retired pop star to one of my ideas??

Yep

Combine it with the single mom

YAS 👍

Also also I had idea what if in order to keep Volkov from taking the strings a pop troll had to be offered up as a bride like a political marriage and poppy most certainly does not want to be his wife and they offer up branch instead

OH I LUV IT 😍 💞

Also plot twist with how she behaves they think she's the pop princess not poppy So would you like to hear the newest one about the political marriage thing

YES

So branch agrees to marry Volkov on the condition that he doesn't steal or take the strings and they would form political alliances in exchange and try to reform old friendships. However due to branch taking charge many trolls think she's the princess willing to give up herself in exchange for protecting her tribe and no one thought to correct them not even the king of pop. But because of this it causes tension between branch and the snack pack the twins could try to sabotage the wedding dress but toven comes in clutch and remakes the disaster into something a million times better then what they could ever imagine however branch and volkov have some issues due to both having a very similar headstrong attaute but branch has massive insecurity and anxity but both do not want to sleep with each other yet so branch has her own rooms but what concerns the rock trolls is branch has little to no personal effects and ehen asked about it she closes herself ofd

I luv it but wat if branch did try to tell volkov that she wasn't the princess but none of them believed her

Oh she did best part the rock trolls figured it out but fuck with the pop trolls by pretending they still believe she's the princess and peppy calling branch one of his girls does not help anything but we could.make her an actual princess by having peppy having adopted her with branches permission in secret in case poppy really fucked up

The rock trolls were impressed by Branch's willingness to help her people, but poppy tries to help

It makes shit real awkward when she does

How would volkov and the other leaders react to all this when poppy spills the beans on Branch's true heritage

Let's go find out shall we?

Indeed cara mia

Mon cher

I HAD AN IDEA WHAT IF THRASH HAD ADOPTED TROLLING BRANCH CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW OVERLY PROTECTIVE BARB WOULD BE

Yes bitch

Like he just returns home with a shell shocked trolling because abandoned trolling and he goes mine and walks into his home and just goes "BARB COME HERE"

Barb would have been so exciting cuz now she has a sibling of her own or is Barbara a boy in this one

Hmm idk you pick your turn to pick this time

Boy

Yesh

I mean volkov would be the perfect brother for branch

So wat if in this fic, branch ran away from her caretakers Ron and Mel in the middle of the nit and somehow bumped into thrash or maybe she tried to help escape a predator and he decided to take her wit him

I was thinking more along the lines of her being left behind on purpose Ron and melody aren't a part of her life in this one because they are in a bunch of others and wouldn't that just be the cherry on the cake think about it branch who shouldn't give a shit about her old tribe preventing the strings from being taken by going a diplomatic route

Oooh I luv it

Hehe so should we start it from volkov being literally handed his new sister?

"wats this squishy thing?" He literally has no idea wat baby girl trolling looks like

OMG XD

U like

I love it

So imagine thrash having to explain that he's going to be a big brother now

Oh what if they renamed her??

Wat shall it be

Not barb that's for sure.....WAIT I HAVE A BOOK OF FLOWER NAMES

Male barb/female branch

Also oc troll named blaze just for the giggles.

The rock tribe took gray sickness with an insane amount of seriousness that rivaled The funk tribe.

Gray trolls needed support and alot of it hence why the royal family founded the Care facilities each one in different ring of the city of rock. 

Each equipped for the trolls who needed support and care and in rare cases End of life care these cases always broke their hearts knowing they they had done everything for the troll but only for the care ad help to come to late but sometimes they did everything they could and it often didnt help.

Blaze sighed as he looked out massive windows in the center due to them being in the inner ring where the royal family was the outer ring usually got the gray trolls before they did only this time he saw someone walking rather stumbling.

"ASTRID GET THE DOCS WE GOT A GRAY WANDERING PAST!" He ran to the sliding doors and practically dove out of them dropping into a roll that he recovered from as the doctors and nurses inside freaked.

He ignored them as he exited the garden the ground had dark pink on the pavement that smelt metallic it stood out. The troll in front of him had dark gray saturation and hair was limp a duffle over their shoulder "hey there buddy" he spoke voice low as the troll startled and turned.

It was a female troll of unknown genre.

He swore internally 'fuck okay assessment time.' He thought 'Female late teens early twenties, bleeding from her feet, limp hair, arms and legs nearly black so stage three almost four of gray progression.' He held out a hand away from his body she didnt notice but the doctor approaching with a wheelchair froze "hey friend you look tired" he had to remain calm if he did she would as well. "...." her head tilted "is that bag heavy? It sure looks like it" she nods she was tired the bag was heavy. "My names Blaze Im a nurse." She nods slowly and he shuffled forward slowly "Can I help you? You feet look like they really hurt" 

Her eyes go wide her feet did hurt badly how long had she been walking? Tears slowly rolled down her face sticky,oily and black as tar that left black lines on her face one could mistake it for mascara if they didnt know any better but blaze knew better.

Blaze swore "fuck tar tears" he hissed so low she didnt hear him but his fellow rock trolls did.

Tar tears ment the progression was farther along then what her body showed for all they knew they could be looking at a new gray sickness level.

"Your legs must be tired dont you wanna sit down?" He chirps as the doctor appears with the chair she nods slowly duffle bags slipping from her shoulder and dropping to the ground as she stepped forward legs trembling as blaze moves watching her leave blood soaked foot prints behind the doctor remained still as she turned and slowly sat down they could hear her bones creak her skin taunt on her frame.

They wasted no time getting her inside.

"FEMALE TROLL AGE UNKNOWN BLEEDING FROM FEET, SUFFERING FROM STARVATION AND UNKNOWN HEALTH ISSUES FROM GRAY PROGRESSION! SHE HAS TAR TEARS I WANT A TEAM NOW GO GO GO!" Blaze had burst into the facility roaring orders as the doctor pushed in the troll who looked dazed and confused as she was swarmed by a team of nurses in leather and rubber uniforms. 

Blood and other bodily fluids came off leather and rubber uniforms better then cloth thst just absorbed it leading to them needing new uniforms speaking of new uniforms this troll was fucking dwarfed by the wheelchair.

"Dont worry your safe now." Blaze spoke calm but inside he was ragging she looked horrible as a nurse lifted her from the chair to a gurny that made her look even smaller as astrid climbed onto the gurny rolls of gauze and a petrie bottle filled with saline mixed with iodine from its colour.

"I'm going to clean off your feet okay? Its going to sting like a bitch" she warns towel in her lap and the minute the mix hit the bottom of the Jane does feet she screams and her back arches "i know! I know im mean and im sorry!" Astrid states calmly over the screams of pain as she cleans,disinfects and bandages her feet. 

Wrapping up to her ankles "poor thing needs a sponge bath" another states frowning as the Girls chest heaves with each breath.

Astrid slowly slid off the gurney she had only climbed onto it to do that as it was a safer way to keep her from jerking her feet away if she held them down on her lap.

"Whats your name honey?" The doctor asks but doesnt receive an answer the troll in question was fading out of consciousness quickly.

They worked quickly after that two nurses took the gurny to one of the many empty rooms the duffle bag was checked and serched only finding ratty worn out clothing. 

"This shit needs to be burned!" A nurse states holding up a tattered yellow dress.

"As long as we dont fuck with her vest we should be good" astrid announced leaving the room a massive deep scratch on her arm in her other hand a leaf vest "yeah no she fucking fought me when I said I was taking her vest to be disposed of this might be important to her hopeful recovery path so this needs to be placed in storage" she hands it off to another nurse "Shes cleaned up but we need to order custom Patient gowns she is drowning in what we have"

Astrid sighs "shes small and we couldn't get a solid melody from her so for now shes a tribeless troll."

"Alright trolls as you have guessed she is currently our only patient we will have rotating teams working in shifts day,afternoon and night shifts. She will need constant monitoring." The doctor looks at the mass of trolls "Now we need to report to the royal family of this situation."

He sighs he hated this part of his job as the others did the assessment he had to make a gut wrenching call.

"Hello this is Doctor Sulfate from the Phoenix Gray Care Facility we..have a situation."

Chapter Text

"Because That was the name of my own grandfather he went missing years ago on an expedition for the king" Sid states pulling out his cellphone witch had the other troll looking at it with a confused expression. 

He scrolls for a few minutes before He turns the screen to show a family of trolls "this is the our family" he states.

Branch grabs his wrist and pulls it closer to her to look at the screen.

"I have family?" she looks at him with glazed eyes.

"yeah you do and we've been looking for anyone related to him for years" Sid responds taking her hand.

"did he have a weird looking birthmark to?" she yanks the blanket off her leg to show a birthmark on her ankle.

"Holy shit you have his birthmark" sid laughs "my brothers have it to" 

"wait BROTHERS?"
She snorts "yah i have four big brothers" she sniffles before tears start rolling down her face.

Sid takes her hands "hey now hey your okay its okay your safe." she smiles weakly at him.

"I haven't been safe in years"

Sid nods as he texts the family group chat explaining that blurigard had grandchildren and one was currently in the hospital and that he would be bringing her home as soon as he could only to be met with a response from the Matriarch.

Mam: I'm on my way.

Sid grins "you get to meet mammy" 

"who?"
"Thistle Quarts Fret aka Mammy she's the head of our family and she is on her way to meet you."
Branch stares at him in shock as he explains while standing up to walk to the door "I'm going to go meet her in the waiting room and I'll be bringing her back here to meet you I won't be gone for to long I promise" he states walking out of the room leaving branch to curl up hugging her knees.

She had family 

She wasn't alone anymore 

She had family who wanted her.

She was overwhelmed and the only way she could express that?

She screamed loudly causing nurses to run in worried as she screamed and cried.

"oh dear now now what is all this ruckus?" they turn an Elder was standing in the doorframe with a tired smile.

Thistle Quarts Fret stood there in all of her glory she walked forward and past the nurses "now now little one Mammy is here" she leans over and wraps her arms around the troll.

"there there little rock your okay your okay Mammy is here" she hums listening to the screaming turn into choked wailing as nails dig into her leather jacket.

Blurigard had come home well a part of him in the form of his granddaughter who was a striking image of her very late son.

she strokes her hair as branch goes limp sniffling.

"to much for one day wasn't it little one? there there its alright Your home now"

Chapter Text

"SON COME HERE!" Volkov looked up confused as he left the class he was in private tutoring his teacher also looked confused his father wasnt due back yet he was supposed to be overseeing a scouting party as they looked for more resources.

"Yes father?" He responds his tutor not to far behind him he froze his father was holding a trolling that looked shell shocked.

Thrash approached him and grinned down handing the child to his son "Met Hemlock your new little sister"

His eyes grew wide Vermillion locking onto Ice blue eyes.

He looked at his father.

"I have only had Hemlock for 10 seconds but if anything happened to her I would kill everyone in this kingdom then myself" 

His father grinned sharp "Good."

Hemlock slowly slumped aginst him reaching up to grab the neck of his wifebeater.

He looked down at her grinning.

He had a baby sister now.

The world would burn before anything happened to her.

After all that's what a good brother would do Burn the world  for their sibling. 

King thrash was grinning he knew taking in this abandoned child was a smart move.

"So now what will you do son?"

Volkov grins wild and feral "Im going to be the best fucking king of rock and make this rotten world PERFECT for her."

"Thats my boy" Thrash takes the girl back smiling as she curls into his chest eyes shut.

The rock string had changed her the second thrash had entered rock city but her eyes remained Ice blue her colors sharp dark blue.

Her skin thicker and ashy blue.

Her hair dark purple blue with thick black strands that framed her face her hair couldn't stand on its own.

A perfect little rock troll.

The new princess of rock

Princess Hemlock.

He would have to have new royal portraits made.

After all it wasnt fair they only had him and Volkov in them.

He looked down at his new daughter with a smile.

If the pop trolls didnt want her then that sucks for them.

She would thrive as a rock troll.

Chapter Text

Doctor Sulfate sighed as he sat listening to the troll on the other end of the phone. 

"Yes of course we will keep you updated. We are unsure as to what level to catalog her under." He states as he looks at the file's on the computer written by the other staff as he does so his eyes grow widen slightly "wait according to this latest update one of nurses actually got her to give them some information about her."

His eyes widen farther.

"No"

"Oh muses this..can't be right" he blinks.

"Right sorry fuck your going to hate this according to this note. Our Jane doe has been gray since she was FIVE?!" He yanks the phone away from his ear at the loud what from the other end of the phone.

"We have new level I know the level only goes to up five but I...this has to be a level ten."

"Yes I'm calling it inform the medical committee we have a new grayscale level and its a ten"

He nods as the other troll speaks.

"Thank you yes we will"

He hangs up sighing as he looks at Astrid "how did you get her to talk?"

"They didnt she wrote it down then promptly passed right back out" 

He nods as he logs the new level into the computer "Shes a level ten on the scale"

"A level ten? The scale only goes to a five"

"Not anymore now it goes to a ten unless she develops new unseen symptoms it will remain that way'

Astrid nods.

"I'll inform the others" he stands and walks past her.

Astrid watches him walk past her.

She felt horrible not for her no for their mystery troll.

No troll deserved this fate.

She walked towards the room she was in leaning aginst the door frame the room filled with beeping and soft breathing the troll on the bed had been fitted with a feeding tube that had been an adventure getting her to remain still long enough for them to measure and inserts the tube through her left nostril and get a sample of her stomach acid to make sure it was in the right place.

Poor thing had not liked that one bit.

But she needed it.

"Poor thing where the hell did she even come from and how did the other facilities miss her?" 

Blaze looks up he had been checking some vitals "Not sure Astrid but Doc has been pretty pissed about it."

He looks back down.

"She has a laundry list of medical issues according to her latest test results" 

Astrid takes the clipboard

"Malnutrition,sarcopenia so far no cardiovascular issues?"

"The cardiologist says its a fucking miracle on that part"

"Weakened immune system she already had an infection?"

"Yeah from the cuts on her left paw pad."

"Slow healing hows her bones density?"

"Doc said if we hadn't gotten her admitted when we did she would in a few days develop britte bones or ricketts"

Astrid wanted to kill whoever let her get in this state.

"Im thinking shes sleeping so much because shes been walking non stop." 

That would make sense.

"Body probably realized it was safe and is now forcing her to rest and recover" 

Astrid blinked "her hair is short now"

"Yeah Flare found massive matting and made the choice to cut it short to mange it" he smiles but its forced 

"Blaze when was the last time you slept?"

"When was the last time anyone if us have my shift is almost over once its done my day is done but I stay here because..look at her Astrid shes small shes not a kid but compared to us? If we make the wrong move we could hurt her on accident because we are twice her size! Everything in this place makes her look like a toddler playing dress up"

This was also true that an they had to send out orders for custom made medical equipment like needles especially iv needles theirs had been much to big and could have caused more harm then good.

They had to actually ask the funk tribe for medical equipment for small trolls.

They had asked they had responded with 

Jane doe troll to small for their own equipment.

They had requested images to get a reference of size they made sure to blurr out her face before sending the images to the funk trolls only to receive crates of the much needed medical equipment. With promises of updates as queen essence had seen the images and was scared the troll wasnt going to make it.

Same with the medical gowns those had to be custom made as well.

Astrid shifts looking at her friend.

"Blaze I dont think Shes going to be one of our release patients I think she's going to be our first permanent resident here." Astrid states voice soft as she hands back the clipboard.

Blaze nods as Their patient shifts and snuffles her breathing was raspy and shallow.

She turned her head with a grunt as her eyes open slightly "hurts'' Well that was a new development.

"What hurts?" Blaze inquiries.

"Ev..ev..ry..th..in..g" was the response given as she turned her head to look at them "pl..ple .ase help"

The two nurses nod walking over astrid taking vitals as blaze pages one of the doctors who shows up not to long after pushing past them and talking to her about what she was ordering a drug called Acetaminophen (paracetamol)that would help with the pain she felt but because of her weight it wasnt going to be a strong dose and it would be administered in four hour intervals via the iv hooked to her body.

It was safer to giver her Acetaminophen over morphine due to the sever malnutrition.

She just nodded slowly "ma..make...pa..pain..s..top" she rasps eyes going shut again.

"She was awake for about ten minutes" astrid notes.

"Her body is exhausted" the doctor states as a new nurse comes in with a needle filled with an extremely low dose of the painkiller that the doctor immediately injects into the iv port.

"This should hopefully ease her pain check in on her in four hours if shes not awake leave her if she is ask if she is in pain if she is administrator a new dose of Acetaminophen. DO NOT give her morphine with how little she weighs it will do more harm to her. Especially her liver monitor her pain and respond accordingly" 

"Yes doctor Fret"

The woman nods eyes narrowed at her nurses before she carefully cups the side of the girls face.

"You've been through hell kid now its our turn to guide you back to heaven" 

Her heart breaks when Jane doe unconsciously nuzzles her hand before she pulls away.

"This is somebody's daughter,sister and she is in pain and suffering it is our job to ease her pain and stomp out the suffering" she didnt say wife or mother as she didnt see a bite,ring or brand and her hips and pelvic bones in the xrays didnt show any sign of having given birth and her hair didnt show any strain of having carried an egg.

But she was still somebody's child and sister

And the main five facilities had failed her.

They wouldn't

"We are are working on figuring out how the other facilities missed her"  she adds as a mother herself to Sid fret this girl couldn't be much older or younger then her son.

This made her angry this girls family had fucked her over.

She 

Had

Been 

Failed.

They wouldnt fail her like the others.

Blaze and the others watched as the doctor stormed out white jacket flapping like a cloak as she walked out of the room.

"Fuck she and doctors Sulfate are bad ass!" Astrid states.

"Word bitch word" the other nurse responds grinning as she leaves.

Blaze just rolls his eyes "enough swooning over the married doctors okay? We have a patient who needs our support and love"

"Right right! Sorry fuck" 

"Its fine. Its just..I'm worried she has no identification in any of her belongings that we manged to salvage"

"So for now shes Jane?"

"Yeah but here's the weird thing"

"Yeah?"

"Hey JD!" Blaze calls out and the troll on the bed gives a violent full body twitch.

"What the fuck?"

"She knows or knew someone who went by those Initials so call her Jane and only Jane I got just as harsh reaction to" he drops his voice to a whisper "Dj"  he mummers in the pierced ear of his friend.

Who frowns as she walks away making notes in the slowly growing digital file.

Please Ozzy dont let this girl die.

Please she...needs to live someone has to be looking for her Please!

LET HER LIVE

Chapter Text

So you know how Molly weaslys killed Bellatrix lastrange after she killed her son and tried to kill Ginny?

With being quoted
"Not my daughter you bitch"

Volkov will kill someone if they hurt his sister and vice versa

Yes, so imagine during or after the world tour her bio bros got wind of branch being alive and wat if Billy was still her ride or die in this fic too

Yes

Billy still acted all goofy and weird around branch since they were trollings and volkov and thrash gave him a rough time when he came to the both of them when he asked to date branch

Yes

Any more you want to add be my guest sweetie

The only reason they agreed to let him date her is Billy hospitalized another troll for getting to handsy with her. The troll was in the hospital for over a year due to injuries

Plus in this fic Carol is her best friend along wit the hex sisters, Val and petra....now that branch has her own little girl group imagine the look on her brother's face when they come over for sleepovers Or even worse the look on her brother's face when Billy proposes

What would you add to all of this

What if branch isn't a musician she listens to it but doesn't perform

Oh wat if in this fic owns a business or works alongside her fam as an ambassador to the other tribe but not to pop

I can see her owning a record shop or a shop full of hand made objects like furniture to jewelry

She owns a building where she creates objects like furniture to jewelry and would sometimes display herself on the front where demonstrates her craft to the public. The trollings there call her the toymaker and it's a popular hangout for the trollings and elderly

I can see that

Who would you prefer or want to include or change

Ohhh what if she owns a record shop nextdoor but like she's the mystery owner who just signs the paychecks and is like never seen

Oh I like it kinda like mystery shack vibe

Chapter Text

Dickory hated this so very much he had to find these trolls his brother told him were called yoleders.
He knew what they where and just how powerfull their music was after all they brought down a mountain.

On accident 

Dickory was angry his dumb brother got captured and told him to go find his fucking boyfriend and his family Because they could apparently instantly create a perfect harmony with in moments BECAUSE THEY WHERE YOLEDERS.

How in the hell was he supposed to know his little brother even had a FUCKING BOYFRIEND let alone even KNEW HIS FAMILY!?!?!?

He kicked a rock and it flew into the brush "Owie!" He freezes "oh snickerdoodole! Are you okay?" He calls searching through the thick brush

He sees a child female by the dress she was wearing rubbing the top of her head "owieee meanie Mr rock!"

"Are you ok?"

The child holds up the rock "dis hit me!" She was wearing a bandana on her head she looked like a normal pop trolling but he couldn't see her feet

"wat little trolling like you doing here by yourself" dickory carefully picks her up to examine her head....carefully feeling for any bumps but FELT to little stubs

"Im no lone! Big budda said stay right here!" She points at the shrubbery witch dickory noticed seemed to have been woven into a strange nest

Dickory slowly walks into the shubbery to inspect this nest but realizing if she was here then her brother is nearby

She waves her hand "big budda said stay put be back soon! Left snackies!" She points to a rather large leather satchel

"sweetie can you tell me how long has your brother been gone"

She tilts her head pointing to a pocket watch leaning aginst the bag.

"Big budda said he be back when da big hand is on da two and the little hand on uh da Six! And he said if he not come get me other Budda come get me after one sleep!"

But that was hrs ago and judging by the sky above them it was almost sun down.

Dickory couldn't in his right conscious leave this poor trolling ALONE.

She wiggles tiny shoes kicking why was she wearing shoes?

(So remeber sandflakes pop disguise Hickory? Those those.)

"do you want me to take off ur shoes

She stares at him blinking

He slowly sets her down on a nearby rock "I've noticed you seemed u were uncomfortable with your shoes

She kicks her feet again "Mmhmmm but budda says shoes stay on when out!"

"well I won't tell if u won't" dickory carefully unstraps the laces "it'll be our lil secret

She nods slowly and once the shoe is off what greets dickory is a goat hoof

Dickory was shocked yet fascinated by her tiny hoof

She tilts her head

He proceeded to remove the other shoe hearing her giggle in relief of FINALLY having those shoes off

She wiggles her hooves "Better!"

"Budda said one sleep..i..could try calling budda!"

"I'll wait here wit u ok

She nods kicking her legs "okay cover ears dis gonna be loud!"

He covers his ears

"Yodel-oh-ee-dee!" The cry was loud and bellowed from this tiny body

He winces slightly

She stands on the rock little ears twitching

"thats quite a pair of lungs u have there...oh RIT I haven't introduced myself the names dickory"

*does a dramatic bow* at ur service

She looks at him stomping her tiny hooves "oh oh! Mr mrr dock?

"yes that's me

She coos giggling "your Bubba and my Bubba like each otherrr"
Wait HOLY FUCK WAS THIS HIS BROTHERS BOYFRIENDS LITTLE SISTER?

"wats ur name lil flower

"Bwiar wose!

"such a pretty name for a pretty flower

She giggles covering her mouth. Before looking up frowning ears twitching again she hops down grabbing her shoes "help i hear big budda"

"Briar it's ok I'll just explain to your Bother that you didn't wat them on

She looks at dickory and lifts her arms making grabby hands "up?"

He picks her just in time to see a huge shadow casting over them

Dickory reaches behind him with his free arm and yanks out a machete and points it at the shadow Briar curled into him "big bubba?

"BRIAR!?!!!"

Dickory lowers the blade slowly as Briar lifts her head eyes narrowed "Can't see budda! No fair!

She pouts

The shadow moves forward a troll like the one in dickory's arm only bigger and purple

"Briar my lil flower what are you doing out of the nest"

"That would be my fault i was ranting and she came to investigate" he'd leave out the fact he had kicked a rock and it had hit the kid she even seemed to have forgotten the rock

The purple ones eyes locked on to dickory

"who. ARE.YOU.!?

"Dickory dock Im inclined to believe you know my Younger brother Hickory?"

"wait Your hickory's brother?"

"Yes he is and he's trapped in a diamond prison and I need help to save him and you are?" Briar kicks her tiny hooves as she lays aginst his shoulder

"I'm Bruce the second eldest brother follow me "

Briar whines "bubbaaa" reaching out to the older troll who walks forward and takes her "come here lil flower" dickory grabbed the satchel anr watch handing them over

"I know I know we'll be home soon"

He coos as Briar curls up "you can't climb mountains can you" he looks at dickory before crouching down "get on my back"

"Are  you sure?" Dickory asks raising his eyebrow.

"Get on or you go in my hair like a child and neither of us wants that"

He grabs onto his back

Bruce nods and soon he's climbing thenmluintain

Climbing the mountain like it was nothing

The second he reached the top dickory was off his back "Johnathan!" Bruce calls out Briar had fallen asleep half way up the mountain

Hearing heavy hooves

Dickory freezes as a shorter but still rather large troll appears dark green "Bruce! How was the" he trails off upon seeing dickory following

"Hes Hickorys brother john" bruce states walking past him "Briar is out for the count" he adds bouncing his arm getting a tired wine

She snuggles closer to his familiar warmth

Bruce chuckles "anyways Floyd's boyfriend is in trouble

Walking past John to go inside their home

Floyd was walking back and forth slowly muttering as he read clay was building somthing

"we're home"

Floyd looks up eyes narrowed "bruce your normally never late getting Briar from the spot you put her in what the bounty take longer than you thought? Shoulda called we would have gone and got her"

"well we ran into someone"

He looks to dickory "we finally get to meet dickory" he states

Floyd was shocked to see his boyfriends elder brother

"I'm going to put briar to bed she's had a long day in entertaining our guest

Watching the purple troll carefully carry the youngest out of the room and into another hearing a soft creek of the door slowly close behind them

"Well uh hello" floyd walks slowly over hand out smiling awkwardly as he greeted his boyfriends brother.

"I uh hope she didnt headbutt you she's entered the headbutting phase and no one's legs are spared" the lighter green one chimes in awkwardly as dickory shakes Floyd's hand.

"No not yet anyways I think she was to exicted to meet me to head butt my knees"

Chapter Text

What if branch was a royal? Like an actual royal not married into the family but what if she was a bastard that no one knew about

Oh the twist

But the problem is who's child? Like should she be king peppys? Or fucking thrashes or Trollex? Or Quincy hell even Trollzart

U surprise me

Oh?? How so

How about Trollzart be the father and branch has a special birthmark on her back that looks like wings

Hmmm

It's a suggestion

But here's the problem if hes her dad wouldn't branch be a glitter troll?

Hmm ur rit wat if her glitter appearance was like the characters from twilight but if not u got any ideas

What about her eyes? I like the idea of her being able to fly but what if her eyes shimmered and besides guy is a vain as fuck troll his eyes don't shimmer or shine like diamonds nor can he fly

He may be vain but u got to admit he's a luving father

True

Ur muv

OMG BECAUSE SHES A POP TROLL BELEZABU WINGS FROM HELL OF A BOSS ONLY FLUFFY

YES YES YES

Basically skinny angel wings

Indeed also how should be go about with this new one and whom would dare court the daughter of Trollzart because the minute he finds out he got a troll knocked up and they didn't tell him you bet he's going to be apologizing for not knowing about her and two being the best damn dad he can be

Toven is her uncle and wat if it was either Dante, demo, riff, one of the bounty hunters, Billy just to few names that popped into my head r the ones courting her

Demo ironically likes classical but idk if he's older or younger considering like Quincy he has a soul patch

Demo can be her best guy friend/unofficial wingman

But he does seem like someone to defend his partner lol

So does dickory 😉 

Chapter Text

*"Das ist nervig! Erst wird mein Bruder krank und jetzt muss ich mich auch noch mit diesem blöden Jagd-Unsinn herumschlagen!" The short man grumbles under his breath as he chases the target into a club of some kind.

He looked around looked frowning where had that dummkopf* gone?

He spots the target near the stage he moves forward.

Only to freeze when the music starts.

And a troll steps out onto the stage hair in thick curls large fluffy wings on her back wearing a gorgeous red dress that simmered.

Her hands on her hips as she walked slowly singing.

She had to be half classical only classical trolls had wings like that.

And her eyes shone and shimmered.

Dickory felt his heart thud heavy aginst his ribs.

She was beautiful.

Oh how he wanted to compare Sapphires aginst her eyes.

And she had a sprinkling of what their mother called angel kisses made of sliver across her nose.

She sang voice like honey smooth and sweet.

'Scheiße focus Dickory focus!'  He screamed in his head and moved past the stage.

The singing was heavenly matched the classical trolls whenever one sung normally opera music.

He found his target and lunged grabbing at the troll.

"HEY!"

"OH DEAR!"

"YA HAD ME RUNIN ROUND LIKE A DUMMKOPF AFTER YA!"

He grunts when the troll he was fighting manged to kick him off and start running only for a shoe to hit him in the back of the head sending him crashing to the floor allowing dickory to tie him up.

"My my dear might I have my shoe back?"

He turns the pretty troll was leaning forward slightly arms in front of her one foot no longer in a heel he picks it up and walks towards the stage the troll sits reaching out to take it only for dickory to hold up his hand stoping her.

She looks confused til he gently grabs her ankle and slips the shoe back on with a wink before he turns and walks away leaving a flustered woman.

If he had turned back around he would have seen hearts in her eyes dark blue lines in the shape of hearts as she covered her mouth.

Briar's face was burning dark purple blush across her face.

'that was smooth' she thought a shaky grin spreading across her face

"I do hope he comes back" she whispers grin going wide.

That's y we're formulating honey 🍯😘

True hmmm but if we go with Hunter witch one?

Hmm we already done Chaz and hickory that leaves the Reggaeton,kpop,dickory

One word tiny husband: A Jessica and Roger rabbit

You know what yes let's do it

Okay

I love the fucking vibes he's her angry Roger rabbit who thinks his wife hung the fucking moon

Yes plus everybody would find it hard to believe that dickory has a hot wife or the fact that he's happily married

Yes yes he would how he got Trollzart to allow him to marry his daughter to this day no one but branch knows and she refuses to talk about it

But she will say, "he makes me laugh"

Dickory even has a their honeymoon photo of them on the beach or their wedding photo in his wallet plus can u imagine the kind of attention branch would bring if she visited dickory at the hunter's hangout

I can see that.....Wanna???

But of my darlin hemlock 😘 *gives u a kiss on the cheek*

Also should dickory be the same age as hickory? Like he's his fraternal twin whos shorter then him

Oohh I like that idea plus everybody always mistakes hickory as the older one

So should we make him taller just for more of the angry Roger rabbit vibe? Because just branch holding him up under his arms and calling him honey bunny is adorable but make him a little taller and it's more Roger rabbit then Roger mouse

Yes it is adorable and good one "Roger mouse" 😆😂 Plus how would everyone react besides hickory and dickory to branch singing why don't u do rit at the bar

Well if you wanted to redo introduction of his wife like surpise bitch I beat you here type thing lol

That would be hilarious 😆

Then let's do it

Branch gets mistaken for the entertainment for the evening while she was waiting for her hubby

Yes let's lets do it

*dips u down affectionately* Then we shall mon cher

Chapter Text

Plus listen to the goblins song from doctor who I was thinking of branch singing this song to scare the crap out of the trolls

Witch one the goblin king one?

Yes

Okay witch branch

Either obsidian, husband, or infinite au (where branch is married to billy) or this one where branch is the princess

Ohhh

Wat do u think

I feel like hemlock would be the one who'd sing it just for the giggles plus wat if volkov and thrash didn't know about this song and were also surprised by this

I can see that

Or they also help her by providing her music background

Music because why not also I can see Carol being the he can eat me he makes me swoon line XD

How would the other trolls feel about this

Fucking terrified. It's a song about eating a baby if someone sang that in front of you and you didn't know about doctor who what would you think?

Horrified but also catchy tune

Because remember cannibals are an actual fucking thing

That's rit

So without proper context...it's a really good song though 😅

If we ever actually decide to use that song let's add a note about it that it's a song from doctor who

Yeah unless we do a Hannibal fic then it fits right the fuck in

Yes 👍 but not rit now we're already swamped with other aus rit now plus ur mind tends to wonder from one thing to another

Chapter Text

I sneaky

Ur move also country troll branch

Do tell

So I don't know if she should be like all the other country trolls or be like a syatr

syatr

So what if branch was a country troll naturally who some how wound up with the pop trolls her biological family is dead in this she was taken in by John doreys family but when poppy manged to befriend the Bergens she left and rather quickly she had kept to herself her whole life so she didn't have anyone who cares about her and she ended up in lonesome flats where her birth family was originally from

YES

So picture her shock when she staggers into lonesome flats looking like death warmed over and is immediately ushered to the doctors by worried trolls

Yes

I take you like?

YAS QUEEN 👑

Rosebay means danger ; beware rue means disdain

Any other names luv

We've got Willow it has a couple of different meanings depending on the kind and zinnia

Creeping willow mean a love forsaken water. Willow means freedom. Weeping willow is mourning herb. willow pretension. French willow bravery and humanity. Rose has a shit ton I'm not joking because of all the different kinds of rose there's a ton of different meanings. Laurel is in the same boat as willow.

And kronk is a himbo

Oh yeah 😏

Then he stole the fucking raisins or was it the eggies

He really wanted to make that bread

He really really did. He got a girlfriend out of it though XD But then the campers went and ruined everything. For shame

Ik rit

Naughty children Naughty naughty children ruining kronks love life ☹️ I wanted to physically fight and old animated man for being mean to kronk

Well I would too I mean look at krono how can u say no to that face

And tell me you wouldn't fight his dad. LOOK ME IN THE EYES 👀 All he wanted was a fucking thumbs up and a im proud of you

Can't promise anything but I can help u bury the body 😜

ALL HE WANTED WAS HIS DADS APPROVAL MET ME IN THE PIT KRONKS DAD

Ik poor thing wanted to be a chef but Daddy said no

Look at that lil baby boy I swear if kronk was a troll and branch found him all sad and shit she'd just take him home and bake with the lil guy. Like fuck what she was doing sad kid must make not sad

U know that could happen if u wanted to 😉

😶‍🌫️

Adoption

U know what I'm talking about 😏

Lil baby with his matching oven mitts and apron

YASSSSSS HUNNNY YASSSSSSSS XD

I just wanna snuggle him

We can make kronk into a troll and have branch adopt him

Yes but what genre

Rock troll.....a rock troll who wanted to be a baker not a rocker like his daddy

I can see that

Wat r ur thoughts 💭🤔 share luv

Also I love how angry I still get when I remember this movie at an old man

It was funny how he was coming onto pacha dressed in drag

Like it's been years since I've seen the empors new groove and kronks new groove and it was hilarious

And it still is 😂

Fun act the emperor's new groove was all improv there was no script they just went want to make a movie

PURE GENIUS👌

Branch would adopt kronk in a heartbeat.
Yeah ira the only Disney movie without a final script in the vault When the dude came to get the script to store it they ligit went "there is no script we winged everything"

Haha

But yeah no branch would totally adopt baby kronk

How exactly would she find him or did he find her

Hmm maybe kronk got abandoned by his father who told him he wasn't his weak ass pussy of a child and left in the heavily wooded forest where branch lives

Like it plus imagine the looks on everyones faces when kronk grows up

He's a big ass mommy's boy who loves his pop troll mom and proudly walks around with her on his shoulder when she gets older. He has no shame in carrying his mom on his shoulders after all she carries him on hers for a long time

Plus whenever they're scavenging for herbs and other fruits for his recipes kronk has to keep an eye out on his mother and he has a pet squirrel Squikets....
Squikers

Squeakers?

Just came to mind got anything better

Isn't it's name actually squeeks? I forgot
Anyways shall we?

Yes

She's going to be the best mom to this lil guy
Lil baby ma....man

Chapter Text

Branch watched the trolls around her begin to fade away from their once vibrant colors to the dull colors she has been accustomed to since childhood.

She looked at them slowly blank faced she couldn't lose her control not now even though a twisted part of her felt vindicated she had warned them and they hadn't listened. 

And now look they where now in the actual fucking pot because a child wanted to throw the loudest party ever!.

She NEEDED to think and fast otherwise they where all doomed.

She moved forward "I refuse to die here!" She states spinning throwing her arm out "Im going to do something if your not!" She points at king peppy the troll who preached no troll left behind and now just seemed useless!

Her bright eyes were filled wit determination as she moved to the center of the pot.

She crouches pulling things from her hair.

The captured slowly walk closer to see wat THEIR gray troll was up to and shocked to the things that came out of her hair.

Knifes,ropes,Incendiary items and even more items including a thing she called Gary that she hugged before whispering im sorry and smashing it aginst the floor of the pot to get to the inter workings she needed the wires from inside it a lone tear rolled down her face a sacrifice she had to make.

King peppy slowly walked forward and asks, "branch what are you doing?"

Her hands moved fluttering as she pulled more tools from her hair.

Her eyes NEVER leaving her work.

"IM NOT FUCKING DYING NOT HERE NOT LIKE THIS " she roared in response.

Yet her eyes widen at seeing a pair of elderly hands beside her reaching to her parts "what can we do to help?"

"We need glitter bombs lots of them we need to use them as a distraction but Im making one strong enough to blow out one of those air holes make them large enough to escape" she barks voice tight she didnt know how long they had left.

One by one other trolls stepped forward to offer their services and most importantly awaiting Branch's orders.

And she gives them assigning roles and tasks as she stands eyes dark as she looks at the two royals "you should have taught her to fear them" she states voice bland before returning to her work. Taking in the sweet satisfaction of their fear and negligence.

She knew she shouldnt be angry at poppy she was just a child but even still! 

She turns around slowly "This wouldnt have happened if you had just listened to me! But thats in the past" 

Throwing out her arms wide "and look where we are NOW in A FUCKING POT!" They freeze hearing the bergens talking.

Before it grows quiet again.

She takes a deep breath and begain to sing " Now it's time to step up

Or it's time to back down

And there's only one answer for me

And I'll stand up and fight

'Cause I know that I'm right

And I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready

Ready as I'll ever be" in her hand was the device she was going to use as she walked forward trolls parted to let her past biggie lifting her so she could attach the bomb to the air hole.

Poppy watched Branch gather everyone her eyes wide in shock this was a true leader.

Her eyes wide

" Now it's time to rise up

Or it's time to stand down

And the answer is easy to see

And I swear by the sword

If you're in, get on board!"

The trolls slowly lit up little by little

"Are you ready?

I'm ready

We're ready, we're ready

Ready as I'll ever be"

Peppy looked at branch 

"Are you quite sure we can do this?" He sang catching her attention 

"Together we will, guarantee"

I'll make them hear me (now it's time to redeem or it's time to resolve)

Prove they can trust me (and the outcome will hardly come free)

I'll save my home and family

Now the line's in the sand

And our moment's at hand

And I'm ready

I'm ready, I'm ready

Ready as I'll ever be"

She looked at them one more time

"Are you ready?"

Everyone was ready to escape 

She pressed the button.

And ALL HELL BROKE LOSE

They manage it...but..they lost king peppy during the escape and branch was badly injured as the chef had grabbed her and king peppy sacrificed himself with this final words being to take care of everyone and raise his little girl.

But branch wasn't allowing anyone to help her as she led the way the royal scepter in her paw.

They were finally free from their temporary captured but they weren't out of the woods yet.

"Branch?" The troll turned slightly.

Seeing the very troll THAT caused this entire mess in the FIRST place..... poppy.

"What poppy" 

"I..im scared"

Branch blinks slowly stopping "poppy?" 

She turns fully to look at the gray princess whos eyes where puffy and swollen.

Everything hurt badly but poppy sounded broken "poppy?"

Poppy was trembling and trying so hard not to cry.

Branch holds out her arm "come here poppy "

Poppy walks forward trembling.

Branch puts a hand on her shoulder "it gets better" she says voice gentle but laced with pain

Poppy starts to cry.

Big fat tears roll down her face as she wails rubbing at her eyes as branch takes her hand "come on we need to keep going"

Poppy never leaves her side.

Branch movements where growing progressively slower the pain growing.

It was getting harder and harder to stay focused.

"Branch? You dont look good mabye we should stop let doctor moonbloom look at you?"

"NO!" Branch barked then gasped dropping poppys hand to grab her side.

"no-im fine" she repeats.

"Branch your hurt badly..please" poppy whispers "no we have to keep moving we need to get to safety i know a place where they will never find us again'

"please poppy let me protect you."

Poppy whimpers and looks at the others "branch let me look at your injuries or the very least let one of us carry you your hurt we saw chef grab you" Doctor moonbloom orders marching forward.

She sighs.

She slowly moves to the side of the path "f..fine but carrying me might jerk me around. It would be better to build a stretcher or something similar if anyone remembers how"

They get to it moving quickly.

Poppy hovered still gray still worried as branch was seen to.

"how is she?"

The doctor looks up "she..will live..but she needs rest"

"Where do we go?"

"H..head straight on this path.." branch rasps "keep going as far as you see then you will come across a fork in the road rocks on one side trees on the other the rocks are not our friends take the path with the trees keep going...soon the road will spilt into threes rocks on one path trees in the middle flowers on the last the rocks and trees are both not safe ta..take the flowe.." branches eyes fall shut and she begins to fall forward only to be caught and laid onto the stretcher.

Poppy was panicking.

"No no no! Wake up please wake up!"

"Your highness she needs to rest!"

"no she NEEDS to wake up!"

Poppy wails "I cant lose some one else! Please branch!"

Dr Moon Bloom goes over to poppy moving slowly.

She puts her hands on poppys shoulders "poppy she needs to rest she will be fine"

"Please..I cant lose her to I just lost my dad please I dont wanna lose another parent!"

"poppy please control urself this isn't helping "

Bad choice of words to say to the currently panicking child queen.

"I cant! She was right so right about everything!" Her eyes grow wide "branch is the new queen. She did everything right." Poppy screams

"BY MY FIRST AND LAST ROYAL DECREE AS QUEEN BRANCH IS NOW THE NEW QUEEN OF POP!" 

Dr monnbloom had no choice but to sedate her as she got the drug ready she looked at poppy with sad eyes.

Poppy backs away "Im of sound mind! Branch is the new queena I'm just a kid I cant make grown up choices branch is the queen branch is my new mama!"

It clearly wasn't helping.

Branches eyes cracked open "poppy baby come here" she lifts her arm branch had figured it out poppy was still just a child who lost a parent and had bonded immediately to a new troll adult her.

Poppy turns her body eyes wide.

"Mama! Please mama dont sleep!" She scrambles to the still on the ground stretcher that sky and a troll named Melody had built together out of donated clothing and thick strong branches.

"Im ok sweetie mama is just tired" branch mummers.

Poppy grabs her hand eyes wide with fear.

"I'm ok sweetie....lay down with mama" branch coos softly lifting her arm Poppy curls into her side trembling as Branches arm wraps around her unaware moonbloom was about to sedate the princess.

"it's ok baby..." Cooing softly at the child and nodding to Dr.moonbloom who nods back.

Poppy yelps then goes limp and branch re-closes her eyes "take the paths i told you"

Several hours later they arrived at the path four hours ago they had gotten to the fork in the road path now they where at the three prong path.

"How much farther?" Biggie asks softly

Branch moans softly opening her eyes everything radiated pain "w..where are w..we what path"

Slowly lifting herself up.

"Your highness please!" 

"Im not the queen poppy is?"

"No your the queen she decreed it"

Branch was shocked and it showed.

"Your the only one who we can trust to lead us"

Branch looks confused "but poppy is"

"Not ready for the throne nor will she be. You where right shes just a child"

"where's poppy? 

"Shes resting" moonbloom states a paw firmly on branches chest "do not move your highness"

"I ...have...to move"

"Dont your still injured " Doctor moonbloom barks.

"You are the queen now. And you are hurt let us help you."

Branch sighs slowly "very well you win doctor."

Moonbloom smirks smug.

They begain to move again branch looked at biggie who was carrying poppy his worm on his shoulder.

It took them a while but soon.

Branch points slowly "there is where we will live.....no one knows where this place is only me."

They've arrived.

It was a massive valley deep with high cliff faces the valley was lush and green with a river and waterfall many cave entrances in the cliff sides as well.

Everyone was amazed this place was prefect and extremely extremely far away from bergen town.

For the next several weeks was pure hell.

They had to learn and they had to learn quickly the skills branch had perfected years ago.

Meanwhile poppy was following her mama around.

Branch didnt know why poppy thought she was her mother but she had an idea as to why but she kept that to herself.

She was only a child grabbing her hand as she walked her colors had come back not as bright but like the rest of the tribe her ears didnt tilt down like branches did.

"Mama...?"

Branch looks down at poppy "yes? Her voice smooth and soft.

"am I bad....?"

Branch blinks surpised and  looks at her "why do you ask?"

Poppy looks down kicking her foot.

Branch sighs "poppy your not a bad child you made a bad choice"

She crouches down to pick her up.

She lifts her "and now you learn to be better."

Poppy lays her head on her mamma's shoulder.

Fingers digging into fabric of her mama's dirty old leaf vest.

Feeling the comfort of her mama

Branch began walking again along the rim of the valley. She was mainly avoiding the seamstresses that were determinate to give her a proper wardrobe fit for a queen.

She needed to check up on the rest of the people.

She would avoid those trolls for as long as she could.

Soon a year had gone past.

And they where thriving.

They finally adapted to a new sense of security.

But this time they where actually better prepared. They listened and learned poppy was learning slowly as well but was commonly seen glued to the new queen.

Branch had taken on the role of queen begrudgingly one couldn't exactly go aginst a royal degree.

A role she hadn't wanted but now had.

And she was good at it.

 Not to mention she even appointed a small council of her to oversee the rest of the village.

Something peppy had failed to do.

Branch stared at the throne the builders had made in the biggest cave turned into the throne room.

 "what in the world?" Awe was in her voice.

She walked around the cave eyes wide as new tunnels that lead to hidden rooms had appeared along with one that lead to a massive cavern that would hide the whole tribe if the bergens ever found them and even that had reinforced escape routes.

She was speechless turning to look at the builders with wide eyes their tails where wagging.

She turns "you made this?

The builders nodded in excitement tails moving harder. 

"For...me? No one's ever made anything for me before"

"it's the least we could do after all you've done for us"

She smiles weakly.

She didnt deserve this but everyone proved her wrong.

Two years had now gone by and they where stronger then ever the seamstresses had gotten their paws on the queen and now her clothing was fancy and inculded manly dresses her old vest hidden in a box.

However the peace they had found was about to be rudely ripped away by five new faces. 

Poppy backed away terrified the twelve year old was scared terrified of these strange new trolls in front of her who had their hands up in the univeral we wont hurt you but she turned and ran screaming "MAMA MAMA!" Running into a large cave entrance.

She needed her mama!

Unaware of the trolls following after her in a panick they had thought pop was extinct!

Clenched in one trolls hand was the tiara that had flown off the pink child's head when she turned and ran screaming for her mama.

Poppy dove behind her mother who had stood and walked forward at her child's cries tiny hands clenching at the fabric of her dress.

"baby whats wrong?" Confusion in the queens voice. 

"Strange strange!"

Branch's ears flicker 'strange? What was strange?' She thought. 

"Strange? What is strange baby?" She turns slightly confused to lift the twelve year old up into her arms who wrapped her arms around her neck and legs around her waist.

Poppy was crying and sniffing.

She frowns moving to sit on the throne child in her lap as she wipes the tears away. 

Then she shouting and CHOAS coming from the outside.

She frowns standing slowly and walking forward eyes locked ahead poppy still in her arms.She exits the cave "SILENCE!" She bellows

Everyone becomes silent and sees their queen in all her glory.

She stood above them eyes narrowed "WHO DARES CAUSE MY TROLLS STRESS! TO CAUSE MY DAUGHTER STRESS!"

Protectively holding her daughter a paw on the back of poppys head keeping the princesses face in her neck.

Her eyes dart around.

"YOUR HIGHNESS INTRUDERS TAKE THE PRINCESS AND RUN WE'LL HOLD THEM OFF!"

She took in the appearance of these new trolls she saw the one made of golden glitter holding the tiara that had clearly fallen off of her daughter's head. 

"Stand down" she orders voice calm.

They freeze "Identify yourselves outsiders" she orders.

Her warriors kept their distance weapons ready.

"Answer the queen outsiders!"

The strange trolls kept their silence but one stepped forward yet had a similar appearance of Cooper.

"I am queen essence of the funk tribe your highness'

Chapter Text

Kronk was terrified he was alone in a dark wooded forest his father's harsh words ringing in his head.

'I DONT NEED NO PUSSY ASS BITCH AS A SON'

The black haird child sniffed all he had wanted was his dad to love him and support his idea of being the best cook or baker out there!

But he didnt even get that all he got was a beating and abandoned.

His lips trembled.

He started to cry loudly.

"Hello?" A soft voice it was warm.

He didnt look up he was crying to hard hands buried into his eyes.

"Hell-oh..oh baby come here" soft arms plush lifted him into the air he screamed but the arms held him aginst a warm body soft.

"Shhh shhh your okay shhh" he shoved his face into the neck of the speaker.

Vanilla and Cinnamon filled his nose.

"Shhh enough of those tears" a thumb whiped his eyes gently.

He opened his eyes and Vivid blue eyes met his.

A female troll she looked soft.

"Well look at those pretty eyes" she coos.

"Hck" kronk sniffled 

"My name is Branch whats yours?"

"Kronk"

"Thats a cool name whats a little guy like you doing out here?"

"Daddy didnt want me no more"

"Well that wont do now will it. Would you like to come with me?"

His eyes grew wide.

"Really?"

"Really!" She responds as she was walking the child in her arms.

Kronk's eyes wandered over the troll holding him she looked kind soft really.

Her hair was weird it fell flat framed her face.

Her ears where down turned not upright like his he reached up and grabed the lobe of one of them.

"Oh!" A startled yelp as he tugged her ear.

"Why different?" He asks softly.

"Oh! I was very very sad for a very long time and my ears dont stand up right like normal anymore"

She explains gently as he lets go of her ear.

"But please dont tug on my ear again that hurt"

"Im sorry!"

"Its alright kronk you where curious and I cant blame you for being curious"

He nods slowly then spots the basket in her other hand it was full of green stuff!.

"Whats that?" He points at the basket.

"I forage for herbs and berries this basket is full of them" His eyes grew wide

"Wow"

"I use the berries in my pies and tarts"

"You bake!" He was exicted very exicted

Branch laughs throwing her head back.

"Haha! Yes I do!" She turns her head to look at the little one in her arm.

"Do you like to bake?" Kronk grows pale and shrinks in on himself.

"Daddy...said that real men dont like that girly crap"

"Well your daddy is a piece of shit. That I am more then willing to fight in a pit"

His eyes grew wide.

"R..really?"

She nods "I dont take shit from no man and you shouldnt either!"

Kronk felt happy really happy as this troll carried him through the village she had entered trolls moving out of her way as she stompped up to an old looking male troll with a crown. 

"King peppy!"

"Ah branch! Hello my girl and whos this?"

"This is kronk. I will be taking care of him from now on" 

Everyone seemed to freeze.

"Well?" She stomped her foot.

"Right!" King peppy pulled a scroll out of his hair and scribbled in it and held it out branch wrote in it.

"There now if he tries to get you back he cant." Kronk held the pen handed to him as he slowly wrote in wonkly letters his name.

She takes the scroll from king peppy and puts it in the basket before turning and walking away kronk looking over her shoulder and waving shyly at king peppy who looked stunned.

The second the gray blue troll was out of sight.

"By the gods branch just adopted a trolling" he breathes out.

Pure chaos erupted.

Branch however was humming as she walked towards her and now kronks new home.

It was a house built into a tree with windows and a door that had vines carved in it!.

Flowers lined a stone pathway leading up to the door to kronk it looked like a fairy house like one from his old story books before his ex parent had gotten rid of them.

He was set down as branch reached into her apron pocket to dig out a key.

He took a look at her she wasnt thin but she wasnt fat either slightly chubby she was wearing a dress with a white blouse underneath the brown straps of the dress and an apron around her hips.

She put the key back into her pocket and opened the door.

"Welcome home Kronk!"

His eyes grow wide as he steps in slowly branch moving behind him skirts shifting as she moves past him setting the scroll on a desk then putting the basket in her kitchen as the trolling looked around.

The home was warm smelled like nutmeg and Cardamom.

There was a fire place on the opposite wall and plush furniture the sofa had what looked to be an impossibly soft cream blanket drapped on the back and the carpet was soft under his sore feet.

He walked forward eyes wide.

"Now We will have to go shopping tomorrow i dont have many things ment for trollings I do have some..old clothes" she hesitantly offered

"They um..belonged to some trolls I used to know you dont mind their second hand do you? I can make you some when I get fabric!"

"Or I could take you to the shops and you can pick whatever you want" 

Kronks eyes grew wide as she spoke shuffling around before vanishing and returning with a stack of boxes. 

Labeled

Clothing JDT ages five through sixteen

Clothing ST ages five through sixteen

Clothing CT ages five through sixteen

Clothing FT ages five through sixteen

She smiles setting the boxes down "here we are they should still be in good shape!" Kronk looks at her.

"I dont mind if their second hand they'll be new to me!" He chirps opening one of the boxes.

"We will get you everything tommrow buddy" she ruffles his hair smiling.

"What do i call you?" He asks 

She blinks "well for now you  can me branch or miss Timberlake. But mabye one day you'll feel comfortable enough to call me mom" she smiles ruffling his hair again.

He smiles and nods as she helps him sort through the clothing.

Branch was ignoring the feeling in her chest as he dug through what he thought where her friends old clothing.

When in actually it was her brothers clothing.

Well Its not like they where using them anymore.

Chapter Text

Kronk woke up slowly he was warm he rubbed his eye blinking slowly as he sat up looking around he didn't remeber falling asleep but he must have and Branch had carried him to bed a bed that was far to big for him he scooted to the edge and hopped down walking towards the cracked open door.
Something smelled good he poked his head out of the room sniffing the air he followed his nose back to the living room.
"OH! good morning sleepy head!" He jumped spooked looking at branch with a wide eyed expression.

She was smiling hair in a pony tail she had flour on her face.

She was wearing a turtle neck and pants  with an apron over the clothes.

"You slept for a while sweetie! Its almost lunch time! I almost woke you up but I figured you where probably worn out from yesterday." His lips trembled as he walked over hugging her leg it was soft to but he felt the muscle hidden behind the softness of her body.

"Oh baby has no one ever shown you kindness?" Arms lifted him and he buried his face in her neck.

No the last one who had was his original mommy but she was gone now.

She hums seting him down on the counter top as she turned to pick up a bowl "you hungry? Gotta figure out what you can eat little man"

"Meat i can eat meat"

"Meat I can work with that"

She sets the bowl back down turning she moves towards the pantry "I have some dried critters jerky nothing fresh right now its close to the winter season. So not alot of fresh meat" she sounds upset about it 

"Thats okay" he responds as she exits the pantry some jerky in her hand.

"Here you go little guy" 

'I'll go hunting later while hes asleep' she thinks smiling.

She hands over a bowl with fruit.

"Here" she smiles.

He ate slowly watching as she moved hips swaying to the music being played on the record player.

He didnt even notice there was music playing.

"first you gotta take a cup of flower add it to the mix" he looked up at her she was singing under her breath as she mixed ingredients in a bowl.

"What ya making?"

She hums looking at him "Granny rosiepuffs Famous Fluffleberry cake" she responds.

"You seem..sad does the cake make you sad?"

"Its...not the cake that makes me sad...its the..memories" she moves around carefully pouring batter into pans.

He watched little eyes wide.

"And after its baked ill leave it to cool and I'll take you into town to get you more things like trolling cutlery and dishes." She points to the much to big bowl in his lap that held the berries he was eating.

"And ill have to take you to the furniture shop and see if we cant find a proper sized bed pretty sure you struggled getting out of the guest bed."

He nods he had struggled.

"And some steps for you to use to reach the sink"

She rattled off a list as she scribbled things down.

For the first time in his life since his mother died.

Kronk felt like someone actually cared.

He smiled.

Branch he learned wasnt one for loud.

She spoke calmly.

She was kind.

But underneath the kindness her softness

Danger lay hidden.

She was deadly despite her looks.

And kronk learned that several months into his new life when his father showed his face. 

It resulted in a nasty fight between her and him.

She had a split lip and black eye but.

"HE IS MY SON. NOT YOURS YOU DONT GET TO WALTZ BACK INTO HIS LIFE."

King peppy held him protectively as bra-no his mama towered over the rock troll on the ground.

"THAT IS MY BABY NOW BITCH AND I WILL FUCKING DIE BEFORE YOU TAKE HIM FROM ME."

She kicks his father hard in the side repeatedly interrupting any of his attempts to speak or stand 

"LEAVE MY VILLAGE AND DONT YOU FUCKING COME BACK! I WILL KILL YOU!" she presses her foot onto his chest leaning down putting her full weight onto him muscles flexing as she stared eyes glowing her breath kronk swore he could see puffs of smoke leaving her maw.

"Leave pop village and never return or you will die a death most painfull' she moves her leg kicking him once more watching as the troll crawls to his feet limp running away from the monsters who had wrecked his absolute shit.

She turned eyes glinting.

"Mommy?" She looked at kronk walking towards the king to take him back pressing him to her chest kronk grabbed her blouse.

As she looked at him.

"My son." She responds.

Tears fill his eyes as his lips trembled.

"You can cry its okay"

He does.

She just holds him tight.

He was safe.

Thats all that mattered to branch.

Her son was safe.

Chapter Text

The Guardians a name rarely used by other tribes since the discovery of the strings and then the promt split from the others.

They had slowly gone extinct but the gentic code for guardians remained behind in certain clans.

Each tribe kept documents of their pasts but Guardians slowly became Ancient legends and stories told to the trollings.

Those trolls didnt exist anymore in any of the five tribes.

Ah I see youve noticed I said five tribes instead of six

Thats because the pop tribe still had them.

The timberlake clan was a rich one of their ancestors history dating back to the first guardian to the current ones and where even noted for producing some of the largest guardians to date.

They should have gone extinct like the rest of the guardian type.

But due to the tribes imprisonment and beinf feasted on by gaint monsters.

The guardians remained as they had a new more dangerous entiy to protect their tribe from.

Quite a few Bergen minster of happiness had lost their fingers one even lost their life when a guardian manged to CLIMB into their EYESOCKET and rip out the eye.

That death ended trollsitce for two years as no bergen wanted to die like the last one until the newest Minster of happiness was elected.

Chef the only one to date whos managed to kill a guardian.

And elder but still.

Five remained after the death of their elder who died to protect their youngest.

Six had become five

Five became four 

Four became three

Three became two

Two became one

As the king sent the four eldest guardians away to find new places to call home to hunt for survivors.

Report via letter to the king.

Stay in the new locations scout if suitable return to the tribe and lead them away from their current new home to the one farthest away.

If survivors are found stay with them and have a letter sent back the tribe would come to them.

Only one guardian left a child.

A child named Branch.

She was the one left to protect her tribe.

As the years past branch had slowly grown into a frankly massive teenager.

And over the years while growning up poppy had driven her crazy becauze she had found the whistle a guardian whistle and would play with it constantly summoning a more and more frazzled troll. As no matter how far a guardian was they would aways respond.

Unless they where to far to hear the whistle.

King peppy quickly thought of a new solution.

One whistle practice.

Branch would always respond with a questioning howl in return 

Two whistles Help 

Branch would respond with howl and begin to head in direction of the whistle

Three whistles Help me save me im going to die

Immediate respone and action.

Guardians had abilities strange ones that seemingly allowed them to vanish into smoke and reappear in a closer proximity to the whistle and whomever blew it.

However not one troll outside of the pop tribe knew a guardian still existed and that was what poppy was banking on during barbs world tour as she stared down through bars at the queen of rock a blank look on her face.

Barb had taunted her made a joke asking what she could do when barb was bigger then her well...she knew someone who was even bigger.

She reached into her hair and pulled out a whistle old worn faded carved in the shape of a skull with fangs.

It was warm in her hands.

The being it would summon was near.

Barb was prideful pleased as hell she in her eyes had won.

"Ha! I win popstar"

"I wouldnt be to sure about that barb" Poppy retorted lifting the whistle

"POP TROLLS COVER YOUR EARS" she cries before blowing into the whistle.

A sharp.

'SCREEEEEEEEEEEE' left it it hung heavy in the air

The silence was broken by barbs scoff.

"What the hell are you doing? Trying to scare us popstar?"

Before Poppy could respond a bellowing screech rang through the air.

"SCREEEEEEEEEECH"

She grinned she had to use the whistle two more times or branch wouldn't show.

'SCREEEEEEEEEE' '

SCREEEEEEEE'

The lights WENT OUT

And a deep 

RUMBLE was heard as something clung to the cage.

She was here.

Chapter Text

Briar was leaning back aginst the door to her dressing room a thick blush still on her face as she pushed off the door moving towards the vanity setup aginst the opposite wall.

She sat heavily chest heaving as she remembered the troll and how smooth he had been.

Her wings flared as her hair puffed up.

"Oh how indecent!" She muttered as she pulled off her gloves.

Before reaching up running her hands through the curls loosing them till they fell in neat ringlets around her and spilled over her shoulders.

Her wings fluttered before relaxing aginst her spine again.

"Oh he was so handsome and cute like a little *petit lapin!" She laughs shaking her head as she stood once more unzipping her dress using her tail it fell to the floor. 

Where her bellybutton should be was a golden gem. She had hatched with it and the wings showing her other parent was a different troll.

A classical troll if king peppys words where true.

Her family called her a little angel baby 

 But she was still a pop troll she had wings proportionate her body type.

Made her a popular choice to sing cotten candy due to her ability to fly.

She grabbed her turtleneck and pulled it on before grabbing her pants pulling those on and slipping her feet into flats she walked out of the dressing room.

She had to move fast to leave the club without being spotted.

Only reason she messed with her usually perfectly neat and tidy hair.

She threw on her jacket and pulled on her sunglasses before slipping out of the room walking fast down the hall.

She smiled and wiggled her fingers at the owner who moved quickly handing her an envelope.

"Your pay" he grunts she takes it shoves it into her bag.

"Thank you" she responds before walking away.

Little gigs here and there she would have the money to leave the tribe.

She hummed as she walked she desperately wanted to see that petit lapin again.

She giggled twirling a curl around her claw.

He looked strong.

And he was such a gentleman.

Returning her shoe! 

Not many would.

A large curl fell into her face covering an eye she sighed but didnt bother to fix it shed tame her unruly hair when she got home. 

"BRAAIRRRRRR!"

She sighed and turned "Your highness!" She chipped.

How she didnt like the princess.

To noisy,rude and just annoying!

Didn't behave like a princess at all!.

"Hi Briar How are you! Oh! Right here party b invite!" She hands it over before running off.

"*Quelle petite fille impolie de se prendre pour une princesse!" 

Briar muttered as she held the invitation between two fingers like it was diseased.

She kept walking arm away from her body once she was safe inside she dropped the invitation into a box with millions of other invitations.

She would get rid of them later.

She sighed as she sat down taking off her shoes.

"I never even got his name" she sits back with an unhappy sigh.

"I wonder is he upset he didnt get my name?"

Dickory was infact angry he hadn't gotten the gorgeous trolls name.

Hickory was teasing him about it.

"So you met a pretty girl and didnt even get her name! Haha!" He laughed

"SHUSH YOU DUMMKOPF!" dickory snapped.

"Ha! So are you going to go back?" 

"And im dragging you with me!" Dickory snapped.

Hickory chuckles this troll couldn't be that impressive.

Oh how wrong he had been.

"Her! You like her?" He hisses as he watches the stage his brother was leaning forward chin in his hands 'da...shes so beautiful isnt she? Makes mein herz pound" his tail was wiggling fast.

Hickory has to cover his mouth choking back a snort.

But he was happy for his brother.

He deserved to be happy.

He chuckled as his brother just seemed to melt for the troll on stage..

And honestly if he was into women he would be drooling over this chick too.

After the show he caught her.

"Ah! Wait Fräulein!" She turns smiling.

"Yes Monsieur?" She responds.

"Do forgive me Fräulein for chasing you down but could I introduce you to Mien brother?"

She blinked this troll looked familiar some how.

"Oui Monsieur" she responds certainly curious.

He grins and walks away his hooves clacking on the floor.

"Fräulein mien brother!" He bows after turning 

"Mien brother the Fräulein!" He grins as hickory gives him the finger.

"Ignore mien brother he is an idiot" Hickory grunts.

"Rude! And here I brought her to introduce yourselves to each other!"

"Da da brother thank you"

"You came back petit lapin" she smiles eyes shinning.

A blush spreads on Dickory's face.

And he speaks without thinking

"Why, your eyes are like sapphires sparkling so bright. They make the morning radiant and light". 

Hickory looks stunned.

The troll in the red dress looked stunned as her cheeks slowly grew purple highlighting glitter freckles on her face.

"Oh là là ! Personne ne m'avait jamais dit que mes yeux ressemblaient à des saphirs auparavant !" She sounded flustered and flattered 

And Dickory looked smug.

"Mien name Is Dickory Fräulein and your name?" He held out his hand.

She grinned and Hickory spotted the heart shapped lines around her pupils as she pur her hand into his brothers.

"My name Monsieur is Briar"

Chapter Text

Blaze was sitting frowning at the reports as if they held the secrets of the universe.

Jane doe was still unconscious after pain trement she had been in a lot and now was being kept comfortable.

Comfortable that's all they could do for her was keep her comfortable.

They didnt know her age her real name anything!

But the dental xrays done showed she had no baby teeth all adult.

Xrays showed her skeleton had had multiple  healed breaks but it also showed the markers of her being an adult as her joints and clavicle where properly formed and fused in the proper places 

She couldn't be possibly older then nineteen or twenty.

Her mental health they had no answers.

Was she hallucinating seeing things hearing things? They didn't know she couldn't stay awake for long! 

He groaned softly looking at the mystery troll.

"If only you could stay awake long enough little one to answer our questions" he muttered.

"Nhmm?" He froze as her eyes opened and locked on his.

"H..hello?" She whispers.

"Hello. Think you could answer some questions?"

She blinks slowly.

"I..can..try?"

"Do you know where you are?"

"No...looks like..a..hosptial?"

He nods slowly.

"Its something similar."

He types on the tablet in his paws.

"Are you hot or cold?"

"...I am fine"

"Do you remember your name?"

She goes still face twisting slightly 

"I dont remeber I know I have a name but..I can't remeber" that...was not reassuring.

He nods slowly.

"Then for now you'll remain Jane doe in our system."

"How old are you?"

"T..twenty?"

"Are you asking or telling?"

"I haven't celebrated  my birthday in years..."

"So your twenty?"

"Yes... I think thats right"

"Oh buddy alright one last question then we're all done! Your looking tired again"

She nodded slowly she was still tired she was always tired now.

"How long have you been gray"

"Since I was five years old but I slowly began to lose my colors when I was one." She sounded tired and broken.

He freezes.

Astrid who had just rushed in with the doctor so they could do an assessment while she was awake froze.

"Pardon?"

Jane yawns tired again this was taking alot and all she was doing was talking.

"I started going gray when I was one...I dont...remeber why...Just re..member goi..ng full gray th..the day gra..ndma died t..the day my music...died" she closes her eyes 

"Ca..can rest now?" She mummbles

"Yes you can rockstar" Doctor Fret responds watching as glazed eyes slowly shut once more the rock trolls quickly leave the room following the doctor till they are far enough away from the lone occupied room.

The doctor takes a deep breath before enterinf a staff break room then screams grabbing a vase and throwing it.

Followed by a chair then a table soon the break room was destroyed.

Her chest heaves.

"SINCE SHE WAS FUCKING ONE! THATS THE YOUNGEST ANYONE HAS EVER FUCKING BEEN!" She crouches down among the carnage she caused head between her knees.

"This...has gotten far more complicated. If shes been going gray since she was a baby she might be past the point of full recovery." She stands and turns.

"Astrid, blaze I hate to be the one to say this..but our miss doe Im afraid will not be able to leave the Facility."

Blaze covers his face leaning aginst the wall and sliding down hanging his head as astrid wraps her arms around her middle looking at the ground.

They both knew it.

They just didnt want to accept it.

Tears burned in the corners of Astrids eyes.

"Its not fair" she whispers.

Doctor Fret stands eyes shut.

"Ill go talk to Sulfate" she states voice bland.

He needed to be updated.

And when he was his office was destroyed by the angry man.

"FUCK! BY FUCKING METALLICA!" He roars.

Before growing silent.

"All we can do for her is keep her comfortable and pray she has a strong will to live." He states voice flat.

"If shes survived this long I'm sure shes going to stick around for as long as she can."

"Anything else?"

"She cant remember her name. She knows she had one but..." doctor Fret trails off.

Doctor Sulfates heart clenched.

This was another fact about gray trolls is sometimes their own name caused more trauma so they chose new ones however some gray trolls actually forgot their own names their minds despite attempt to block trauma related to rhe name they had.

The ones that lived that is.

Grayness while rare was still an epidemic in certain tribes and no one knew exactly what caused it.

Depression? Trauma? Abuse? 

Hes seen gray trolls caused by all three but in different trolls having experienced different live styles.

What caused this saturation this level?!

He needed to know and the one that had the answers?

Barely even remembered who she was.

He sat down on his desk.

Grabbing the tablet he pulled up the patient file and marked it with a red flag.

High risk patient. 

Extremely weak immune system 

Must maintain strict protocol.

Decontamination every time an employee or visitor enters the building full decon.

If decon is skipped even once if employee immediate termination. For guests its a permanent ban from the facility.

If she gets ill she could DIE.

All visitors must fill out Visitation request fourms before arriving at facility and must be approved.

No exceptions.

The facility would be a bubble clean and sterile.

He looked at His coworker.

"Go home Doctor Fret."

"But!"

"Go home! Be with your family your son is about her age isnt he?"

She nods "he is."

"Do I need to remove you from this case?"

"If you fucking remove me i will kill you she needs me! She needs all of us! She is somebody's child and she is alone!"

"She is scared and confused she doesn't know whats going on she cant stay awake for long! The fact she was awake long enough to answer anything was a miracle!"

"Good answer fret now go home and report back in the morning"

Branch ran chest heaving she had to move and fast. 

She was being hunted.

If she stopped she'd be killed so she kept running her chest hurt her lungs burned her vision was slightly blurry.

She stumbled to a stop a cliff she had been herded to a cliff! 

She grabbed her chest as she spun around tears in her eyes.

"Please! Don't kill me please! I didn't do anything!" She begged.

A troll walked out of the forest male holding a blade a look of mabye remorse on his face.

"Im sorry its nothing personal branch" she backed up freezing as she reached the edge.

She looked over her shoulder then felt it a paw on her shoulder then a strong pain in her chest like a heavy punch.

Her eyes went wide as she looked down as a  sharp, intense tingle spred from her chest outward.

She looked up at the other troll eyes wide as blood leaked from between her lips as he pulled the knife out of her chest before she was spun and the knife tore open her throat and she staggered turning around in shock.

Even the troll who had done it seemed surpised she was still standing after having both her throat sliced and heart stabbed but adrenaline was one hell of a drug and branch was one stubborn troll.

Her right hand went to her chest it felt so sticky.

Her left grabbed her throat.

Why did she feel so heavy?

She was shoved off the cliff as she fell her eyes saw the troll leaning watching as she fell her vision was going blurry again as she fell into a pond.

'He Stabbed me..I am dying...I dont want to die what did I do wrong king peppy? Why..why do I have to die?'

She slowly sunk to the bottom bubbles leaving her mouth tainted red her eye sight was growing black.

'SOMEONE ANYONE PLEASE I DONT WANT TO DIE LIKE THIS! PLEASE'

The world seemed to freeze around her.

Bubbles that had left her mouth frozen.

'you want to live?'

'WWho.ar..e you'

'do you want to live?'

'Yes...'

'I can save you if you let me"

She felt something slither up her back.

she didnt have anything left to lose anyways

'Please...dont let me die'

'Dont you want to know what i want?'

'To survive like me?'

'Cleaver girl'

'The deal is struck queen of the lost string'

'Vengeance will be OURS'

Everything burned as her vision went black time unfroze as the pond she had fallen into slowly turned red from the middle as the sky grew black and the moon turned red as blood.

The ground shook as entities clawed their way out of the earth.

Soliders wearing Armour they stood one by one As the largest of them wearing Armour whos helm had carved horns and spikes on the elbows of his armor and Pauldrons everything was sharp and jagged the attached cape was black and torn on the bottom the commander walked forward towards the pond that was now violently churning  the liquid that sprayed everything around it smelt metallic and like copper.

Blood the pond had turned into blood.

The pond went calm after a moment they waited the forest seemed to not breath if that was possible as suddenly a skeleton arm broke out of the blood grabbing the soil around the edge of the pond as a second  arm appeared and clawed the earth the phalanges digging into wet soil as a body pulled its way out of the pond covered in blood head to foot in blood they watched as blood followed the skeleton as it pulled its away up as new flesh and muscle appeared over new nerves and vains.

Only for more blood to cover it as a tail gained flesh and fur weighed down with blood as another bigger wave of the pond splashed the body forcing it down before receding leaving a blood covered troll behind on their hands and knees.

It was silent till a wet gurgling cough filled the air and it repeated until the blood covered figure vomited up more blood the silent soilder walked closer kneeling hand out to the troll on all fours she reached out arm shaking and collapsed into its arms.

The commander caught her swift in their movements.

Pulling off its cape and wrapping her in it.

They stood troll in arms and turned "Our queen has been reborn men. Now we must move for enemies of hers may be near still."

They moved as one unit surrounding their commander who held their new queen.

A commander whos arms where slowly being clovered in red from the blood seeping through fabric.

They lived once more The army of the damned

The string had brought them back.

The string witch had sewn itself into her throat.

Glinting mockingly at the sky as if saying

Im back

And this time it would be much harder to be rid of.

They'd have to kill its host to get to it.

Chapter Text

Creek didnt want to die he screamed as chef held him over her mouth by his leg he felt her nails pierce his skin and muscle. 

Then chef screamed as something attacked her forcing her to drop him and he fell hard and fast to the ground only for something to catch him.

"GOT THE TROLL PUTT PUTTS TAKE THAT BERGEN DOWN!"Creek was fading and fast crying out in pain as paws clamp onto his leg "FUCK" He couldn't see his eyes filled with tears.

"I know it hurts but you have to hold on!" A female voice cries as a yellow blurr ripps at his pant leg "GIVE ME YOUR BELT!" Creek screams as a belt is looped up high on his leg and yanked tight.

He heard more rapid movement.

"LEADER WE NEED YOU!"

Heavy thuds and a loud grunt as someone approached qickly.

His vision was getting blurry but he saw them ice blue eyes cold as the artic staring into his.

Eyes darted to his leg.

To his face and he was lifted into a set of strong arms.

The world around him had gone quiet as he was placed in something "gather what edible meat off her you can' he heard before his vision went black.

The putt putts gathered around the skate holding the badly injured troll chittering nervously as the leader of the group grabed the rope bit down on it and dropped to all fours and ran.

They didnt have much time.

When creek woke up he blinked slowly everything hurt.

"Oh thank Madonna your alive" he turns his head he sees a female troll in a sweater romper with a doctors jacket over it. Red stained the sleeves it sparkled slightly.

Dried trolls blood.

"Wh..at?"

"I thought you where going to die your leg i manged to save it..but your not going to be able to walk as well as you used to. I've already spoken with some of the builders here about building you a wheelchair for your really bad days that bergen destroyed the muscle and nerves I was barely able to save it you have our leader to thank for getting you here so fast" 

He tries to sit up but stops when a paw rests on his shoulder from behind he hadn't even seen the doctor move wait the doctor hadn't moved.

The paw was blue and looked like well a murder mitten it was bigger then biggies paw!

He looked behind him turning ice blue eyes met his again wild untamed ultraviolet hair framing an  heart shaped face with a determined set to her lips.

Her eyes where cold and calculating darting over his frame before the coldness slowly turns to a warmer look.

"Hurt listen to the doctor" she states her voice low as she leans aginst the skate.

"So care to explain why a bergen had their nasty hands on you?" The doctor asks.

And he does he tells them everything from chefs promise to poppy strangling him to how they found him.

"You where forced to make a choice no one ever wanted to make." The doctor states slowly as the blue troll grunts.

"We will be keeping an eye on you for a while but we dont blame you im sure anyone would have done what you did if they had no other choice." 

Creeks eyes filled with tears and the frankly massive female troll climbs into the skate and pulls him sideways onto her lap his legs drapped over her criss-crossed ones.

He wrapped his arms around her neck and broke down crying when she just held him in return.

What he didnt know is he had planted seeds of hate for poppy in branch and the doctors head and they didn't even know who poppy was!.

"Here" he hiccups as a cup was held in front of him it was made for larger trolls so he struggled and the troll holding him simply used a cloth to rub at his wet mouth.

"Mrp!" He batted at her hand and she just snorted.

Months after creeks arrival he had settled in made new friends ones who didnt care where he was from they only cared about if he was having a good day or a bad pain day.

He walked using a cane now walking without one was painful but doable but for really bad days when his leg couldn't even hold his weight he had a wheelchair. 

Branch had promised to find him a place in the course he could call his room but let him sleep in hers a pink ice cream cone he slept in her bed she often slept on her massive sofa he didnt mind he had slowly grown to like the slightly out of her mind troll.

Speaking of said troll she was currently laying on the ground wiggling on her back.

"Itch itchy!" She spotted him and rolled over "CREE ITCHY!  Scratch? Ill brush your hair in exchange!" He snorts and walks slowly over and scratches her back watching as her tail thumped aginst the ground.

She stood afterwards taking his hand into hers and heading back to her den.

She rummaged around for the brush upon finding it she sat down and patted the space between her legs and he sat slowly eyes shutting as she ran the brush through his hair. 

"Neat and tidy mr cree" she mutters as she sets the brush down after awhile.

He smiled up at her she closed her eyes with a a smile of her own full of teeth.

He'd seen those teeth rip out another trolls throat that had challenged her for leadership of the tribe.

He climbs onto the sofa and onto her lap.

Arms wrapped around him.

Her hands hes seen rip meat from bone.

Where always gentle with her tribemates.

He looked at the staff leaning aginst the wall it was made of bone attached to the top was a black jagged to those who didnt know better it looked like rock.

It wasnt it was part of a finger nail.

A bergens finger nail her staff was the digitus medius the tall finger otherwise known as the middle finger.

It had belonged to chef.

But chef was now chunky of meat in their reserves.

He leaned aginst branch.

"Cree? Hurting?"

"No just tired" 

He was aways tired.

He snorted when she flopped down and laid her chin onto his leg her paws resting on either side of her face.

He pet the top of her head using his other hand to slide under and  scratch under her chin and she lifted her head to allow him better access like a catterbug.

She rumbled.

Creek smiled.

How he adored this troll so much she had been by his side the whole way.

He frowned.

He didnt want to ruin their friendship but at the same time he wanted to.

But for now he could hope that this peace he found stayed.

Unfortunately for him it wouldn't.

Chapter Text

Kronk was cradled aginst his mom's chest as she walked away from the main village.

He was still in a little bit of shock as his mother had kicked the butt of a rock troll one of the toughest known type of troll.

"Mama?" He whispered and she looked down at him.

He had her attention and he nibbled his lips before giving her a look.

"Whyd ya do it?"

"Do what baby?"

"Try to kill him?"

She stops and seems to think about it and she sits down on a rock kronk on her lap to face her.

"Because I'm your mother. I may not have had you but you are my son and I would kill to protect you. It is my job to protect you from anyone including your biological father. And if that means I need to fight your father then I will. As  your mother it is my job. Kronk I didnt hatch you I didnt give birth to you but you are my son and I will do anything for you." She holds him close.

"And if it means I need to fight someone to keep you safe I will. I am not perfect kronk but I will do anything for you."

"Just because I look kind doesn't mean I wont stand up for you and I just hope you remember that everything I do I did it to give you everything I never got to have." 

He stares "Mama?"

"My life wasnt perfect kronk I was a horrible person for a very long time. I was rude and mean and down right horrible to trolls who just wanted to be my friends." 

She sighs and begins to rock her body from side to side kronk leaning aginst her.

"It took me years to work through my problems. But the princess made it so damn hard. She kept trying to put me in this mold." She sighs and looks at him "Kronk promise mama you wont ever change who you are for anyone."

"You are kind and brave and loyal not to mention a goofy little boy" she kisses the top of his head.

"Promise to mama you will always be true to who you are and not try to make your self be someone your not"

Kronk nods slowly eyes wide.

"I promise mama ill always be true to who I am" she smiles and kisses his forehead again.

"Good boy now lets go home that cake wont decorate itself"

He cheers as she stands up with a soft grunt.

She starts walking again kronk babbling about how he befriended a squirrel named bucky and could he pretty please keep him?

She smiles her heart was filled with love for her son.

"Does bucky like berries?He cant have cake but he can have some fluffle berries" kronk cheers as hes set down and he runs off behind their home and returns carrying a squirrel "this is bucky mama!"

"Squeak! Squeaky!" 

"Well hello bucky would you like some Fluffleberries? And of course you dont have to live in the house"

The squirrel seems pleased he didnt have to live in the house. "But mama"

"Bucky has his own home kronk but you can play with him everyday okay?"

"Okay mama"

She smiles as she unlocks the door "now either you can help me frost the cake or play with bucky"

He looks at the squirrel then his mama bucky just chitters and climbs onto his shoulder as he runs inside.

She snorts following him.

That was definitely her son.

Chapter Text

King peppy stared at the teenagers his eyes sad yet determined.

He knew this was the last chance to get them out.

Them and the all of the children.

The bergens had gotten to greedy. 

There wasn't many of them left tommrow would be the final trollsitce if these young ones didnt escape.

Sky and moonbloom would be going with them.

The only two elder trolls willing to go.

Everyone else was ready to die.

It had taken everything to convince the parents of the children and teens to let their kids escape.

He had asked them if they trully wished to watch their children die.

The bergens were foul creatures who liked to eat the young ones first to torment the rest.

He promised they would be safe with the troll he trusted.

These teenagers where the pop tribes only change to remain in existence in his arm he held a pink egg with swirls and a tuff of pink hair his last living child.

He hoped it was a viable egg. It hadn't hatched it was well overdue but he suspected it was because the egg somehow knew it wasnt safe to hatch at all.

His eyes locked onto the ice blue eyes of branch who was kneeling creek was beside her biggie was hovering behind them.

"Please king peppy we can all escape if we go now while they sleep!" She was begging hands clasped together.

"You know we cannot branch they would hunt us down much faster if we all were gone." 

She knew he was right as he handed creek the egg.

He took off the mantle he wore that day a bright blue thing ironic when one remembered branch has been the richest blue coloured troll in the tree and placed it on her shoulders securing it in place.

Then he handed branch the scepter he carried.

Then the lyre that housed the pop string.

He had told them of it months ago when the whispers of the final trollstice begin.

Then he reached up and removed his crown holding it over her head everyone went still.

" Sirs, I here present unto you Branch, your undoubted Queen. Wherefore all you who are come this day to do your homage and service, are you willing to do the same?"

"Muses save Queen Branch" trolls stated voices calm and collected as they watched the former king of pop crown the new queen.

 "Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the Pop tribe.. according to our respective laws and customs?"

Her breath hitched before she spoke.

"I solemnly promise so to do."

If they had the time he would have done the coronation properly but they didnt.

He lowered the crown onto her head.

"I present to you Branch Queen of the pop tribe long may you rain"

He stepped back as she stood trembling.

"I promise to keep them safe peppy" she states as tears roll down her face she didnt dare step forward and neither did the older trolls it was as if an invisible wall was separating the two groups.

"Go now before its to late" Peppy stated watching as she looked at the scepter in her hand and the lyre in the other she handed it to biggie before unscrewing the top of the staff and then removing the string from the lyre and slipping it in and resealing it she looked at creek and he noded handing her the egg as first he dropped down into the whole with the other teens and with Sky Toronto and Doctor Moonbloom the two elders who could be spared who would go unoticed among the chaos of tommrow.

Then biggie dropped down.

Branch walked to the edge the mantle dragging behind her she looked over her shoulder at the tribe.

She stared before she looked down at the hole at blue hands reaching up to her she sat at the edge tucking the egg into her hair she slid into the hole.

The trolls walked forward and looked down at the teenagers who looked up at them.

"Good bye children."

"Forgive us"

"Rmeber we love you and are so proud of you"

Then they pulled the hidden panel over the hole casting their only hope for pops continued existence into the dark torches where lit as branch walked forward.

"We must get moving we dont have long till its day"

They followed pulling carts some leading animals on leads.

The carts held the youngest members of their tribe.

Other carts held books.

One had medical supplies being pulled by doctor moonbloom.

Sky was carrying a trolling who was struggling to keep up.

They escaped.

But they kept moving branch wasnt stopping she knew where to go.

They had to trust their queen.

Even though she was the same age as most of them.

Chapter Text

Creek bolted upright legs jerking he screamed slightly from the pain and from the nightmare before looking around the room was dark but moonlight came in through the weird smile that was carved into the pink ice cream that made up branches room. 

His chest was heaving as he struggled to calm down from the nightmare.

He heard it before he saw her rustling then she appeared next to the skate.

"Cree you...screamed.."

"S..sorry mate nightmare."

She frowns before climbing into the skate with him lifting the blanket and laying down pulling him aginst her.

He blushed "mat..mate im fine!"

"Shhh sleep I'll be here monster cant get you if Im here" she responds creek whined softly before closing his eyes his bad leg was throbbing and he knew he wasnt going to be walking very well in the morning.

He placed his head on her chest and his paw next to his face her arm wrapped around his waist and rested on the curve of his hip.

He listened to her heart thumping steadily.

He was relieved he didn't want to tell her what his nightmare was but he had a feeling she already knew. 

"Its kinda cramped isnt it" he mummers the skate was pretty cramped it fit one troll fine but two and one of a much larger size made for a tight fit.

Branch hummed slightly " sleep creek." Her voice soft.

Eventually he did fall asleep and when he woke up branch wasnt in the skate with him any longer.

He slowly climbed out grabbing for his cane his leg trobbing as he hobbled out of the former putt putt hole structure.

"Cree! Your awake" he turns branch was walking towards him a bowl in her paw.

His stomach churned he couldn't eat after he woke up it made him feel full and a bit sick the rest of the day.

He had always been like that so he stuck to drinking juices and teas.

She didnt hand him the bowl she just transfered it to her other paw.

He blinked surpised as she sets it down to use both her hands to dig around in her hair pulling out a small cup it looked so stupid in her massive paw but it might work for him.

She pours the contents of the bowl into the cup berry juice fresh by the vivid colors.

She hands him the cup it was perfect him sized "been workin on this for awhile"

"Lots of trail and error" she states sitting down with a loud thump lifting the bowl to her lips and taking a drink "know you like bein all proper" she grunts "had ta measure your hand while ya sleep" she hums lifting her own. 

"Compared to me your little not pup or trolling little but little and thats fine" he blushes as he rests his hand aginst hers. 

His hand was small compared to her massive paw.

His tail swished "branch lov can I tell you something?"

She looks at him then smiles eyes wrinkling in the corners.

"Of course you can cree"

"I like you alot" 

She blinks slowly.

"I um like like you branch but if you dont then just um mate?"

Branch's face was inches from his now her eyes glinting with unfamiliar look of focus.

"Creek. I like you as well. I dont let trolls stay in my den sleep in my bed. I got rid of the old skate because you said it was to small didnt you notice?" His ears press aginst his head he had noticed.

"So you like like me to?"

She laughs before kissing him and pulling away.

He blushes but he had the feeling something bad was going to happen.

Not world ending bad but its going to disrupt his life.

Chapter Text

Branch wasnt impressed by alot in fact things seemed to make her more upset then impressed smidge thought privately branch might have undiagnosed autism it would explain alot about her actually.

Like her discomfort with singing and dancing, her rigid routine, over-cautiousness, and direct communication style.

She also didnt understand some social cues.

But thats besides the point.

Branch want impressed by alot she didnt like glitter witch poppy thought was blasphemy.

She once threw a tantrum because the twins shoved a dress her in hands because the texture was off.

Food was a hit and miss.

But rocks

Oh branch loved rocks.

"Branch branch branch!" She turned seeing guy running towards her.

"Yes?"

"I found a rock!"

He had her full undivided attention.

"Let me see"

He happily showed her the flat shiney and smooth rock.

"Ohhhh shiney"

"RIGHT?!"

"where did you find this?"

"By the creek!" Two different colored tails where wagging one because rock the other because he had her undivided attention.

He loved showing branch the rocks he would find because it ment even though it would disrupt her schedule she'd stop whatever she was doing to go rock hunting with him!

"Show me" he squealed and she covered her ears smiling slightly as he ran off and she followed.

What ever she was supposed to be doing could wait she had rocks to find!

Chapter Text

Tiny wasnt supposed to be small.

He had hatched to early far to early.

No one knew how to help guy runts weren't normal prematurely hatching wasnt normal.

Guy was left to handle it by himself.

And he was slowly losing his mind tiny wouldnt stop crying.

Till branch came along a basket on her arm and a rucksack on her back in front of his pod.

She pushed past him dropping the ruck and handing him the basket. 

"Food." She was short as she took the small trolling covering his eyes with her hand.

Tiny's wails stopped.

"The lights are to bright for his eyes right now guy" she explained as tiny's cries turned to snuffles.

Guy slumped aginst the wall "your pod is bright his eyes hurt" she wasnt rude about it she was blunt explaining as she carefully tucked the tiny troll into her dark light blocking locks guy heard a tiny relieved sigh come from her hair.

"I dont know what to do branch" guy sobs.

"You can live with me in my bunker until tiny grows more. My bunker has dimmer lighting i live underground my eyes are sensitive to light as well when I return to the surface but darkness was all tiny knew before he hatched suddenly" she explains.

Guy was torn between wanting to stay above ground or going under ground.

"How long do I have to pack?"

"As long as you need." She responds "but first eat something then pack"

He nods opening the basket a sandwich and a thermos he grabbed both the thermos had tea in it.

He ate watching branch move around grabbing things like some of his favorite books and hairbrush putting it into the rucksack.

He threw away the wrap the sandwich had been in and rinsed out the thermos before putting them back into the basket he walked out of the room to pack his hygiene items.

Then he went to grab the stuff he had for tiny only to find branch doing it packing what he had in the rucksack.

She looks up at him before he joins her helping to pack up tinys belongings.

Once that was done they left his pod he placed a note on the door.

Poppy and friends.

I've moved temporarily into branches bunker.

She offered me help in caring for tiny.

If you need me you'll find me with her.

Guy diamond. 

He looked at branch who just noded and walked away with him towards her home.

What he had originally hoped for was to stay mabye for a few months but instead he stayed with branch for three years.

Neither troll could find a reason for guy dimaond to take tiny and leave. They had grown close he still hung out with his friends but he wasnt as close as he was before he didnt exactly respect them as much as before because they hadn't offered any help with rasing tiny branch hand.

Branch had let them stay and she watched along side him as tiny grew from impossibly small to a rather decent trolling size he was still a runt. She was there for tinys first steps to his first words.

It wasnt perfect but he was happy and branch was happy as well.

Besides he couldnt bring himself to leave when tiny considered branch his mother and branch didnt even bother to correct the three year old not once.

By the time tiny was four guy and branch had gotten together under everyone's noses.

Quite literally and figuratively.

But they where both happy.

Sure their family wasnt perfect but it was theirs.

Chapter Text

Sid hummed as branch leaned aginst him playing with his paw humming as she pressed on the pad "your claws dont extend or retract like mine its weird" he snorts nuzzling the top of her head.

"So. Your claws extend and you ripped my back to shreds" he retorts.

She snorts "you weren't complaining" 

"Do I ever fucking complain?"

"Nope"

He laughs as he pulls her beanie down over her eyes and she screechs and twists in his arms to smack her paw aginst his face.

He laughed he deserved it as she hooked her claws into his bandana and yanked it down over his eyes.

"Take that!" He pulls the bandana off his eyes and grins "such a fisty pop troll i have"

"Fisty? Oh I will give you fisty!"

"BRING IT!" 

The two begin to tussle.

Sif was laughing he always had fun wrestling with his girlfriend and she seemed to have fun.

He won as usual not that she seemed to care.

Branch was just happy to have someone who like rough housing with her.

Chapter Text

Chaz five miles out from the village searching for it. Map in hand protectively as he stared back at the glowing eyed shadowed woman staring at him. He could have sworn was not there a second ago.

Branch is staring at this stranger in disbelief seeing them just float and is trying to decipher if she's seeing it right.

She tilts her head grabbing the tree and climbing up and hanging upside down from it the mask snug on her face

'you do not stand upon the ground '

Chaz felt his blood run cold and every bone in his body was telling to HIM TO RUN.

He lifted the sax if he could hypnotize this creature he could run but the secound the first note leaves the sax the figure lifts a finger to their face 'shhhh' and the music STOPS.

He was stunned unaware that his hands were shaking
The figure drops out of the tree landing in a crouch drapped in a cloak a mask covering their features the only visbale things where the holes for the eyes that seemed to start into his soul.

He couldn't MOVE he felt paralyzed.

They move forward

'who are you? Can you hear me? Ha probably not no one has been able to' he could hear a voice female in his head!

Inching closer to the jazz troll.

'What are you? So different' a paw reachs out to poke the sax in his cluches seemingly curious.
Yet she spoke no words...
She stands her chest moves as if they had sighed

'of course,Yet another who cannot hear my words'

Yet was she seemed stunned when Chaz spoke, "I...can hear u...
She stops and turns he cant read her expression
"You..can...hear ME?'

Her shoulders shake she seemed to be laughing

'come if you can hear then you can see'

Releasing her gaze from his sight

He felt like he could breath again as she walked between the trees

He had no choice but to follow

The troll keeps moving

Chaz followed
S
he points 'home. Is here.'

Pointing to a cave
S
he moves to the side.
'silence is law no music it is not punishment it is our way of life our genre.'
Speaking ominously glancing back at the jazz troll

She moves 'you may visit and leave if you wish"
He had doubts and she seemingly could tell if the shakes of her head was anything to go off.
Before her voice filled his head again as she shrugs.
'or leave you followed me your clearly curious
Chaz knew he had no choice afterall he was a curious troll by nature.

She moves to the side
'go you will be fine'

She turns walking towards a different entrance hidden 'these trolls...view me as...a god i do not understand why'

Titling her head chaz had the feeling she was grinning under the mask.

Even Chaz was wondering the same thing
She points 'go see or leave'
He goes inside
There's a soft mummer of noise its not loud but its audible
"she's here....."
