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

Summary
"He tries to ignore the shortcomings in Doc's parenting, at first. In the beginning, he'd taken it as the understandable failings of a first-time father — an emotionally callous comment here, a forgotten promise there. But soon enough, they begin to pile up, piecing together like a quilt of subtle emotional neglect.
And it's not his job. At all. It's not even remotely his job. Still, when Dean comes out of his room crying about a nightmare and Doc tells him he's busy without even looking up, it itches at him. Despite the distance he'd tried to maintain, Brock genuinely feels bad."
A piece reflecting on Brock and his relationship with the boys over the years.

Summary
JD was their manager and their leader. He was the one that got them gigs and a record deal and answered the fanmail. He made sure they got paid and made them famous in every corner of the troll tree.
20 years later the brothers slowly realize that JD was much more than that. He made sure they still went to school and to bed at a reasonable hour. He made them eat their vegetables and settled their petty fights and dried their tears. First and foremost, JD has always been their big brother.
And in an ideal world, that’s all he would have been.
or
JD and the pitfalls of parentification.
or
Four times the brothers realize JD was more of a parent than a brother and one time JD has to admit that it wasn't fair.

Summary
Battat turned the corner while fixing Mike's stupid bowtie and crashed right into his boss, the two startling as the impact jolted the mug in Tenna’s hand. The liquid sloshed and splattered all over Battat and his costume.
"Battat!” Tenna yelped, his antennas going crooked. He immediately bent down, fussing uselessly as though he could wipe away the damage before it set in. "Goodness, are you alright?! Does it burn?” The hand on Mike's cheek quickly slapped over Tenna's own mouth in realization.
Battat twitched under the costume. What.

(Tenna has his own fun with Battat. Battat finds out that Tenna found out a long time ago.)
