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?

Chapters 76-85: The JD Depression Arc (Movie One Epilogue)

Summary
With the royal bergen wedding in one week, Poppy sends Branch out to Rainbow Ridge to get some flowers for the soon-to-be-bride. A place that looked like it was from another world, only separated from theirs by a bottomless ravine under a fallen tree.
It was meant to be a simple retrieval mission, but neither of them could have predicted that something had followed him back, forever changing his life for the worst.

Summary
You've read about Feral Branch or even Feral John Dory, but get ready for... Feral Poppy.
"No Troll left behind!" King Peppy hollered down the tunnel as he threw the large ball of trolls out of the way of the shovel breaking through the ground. When the shovel was removed, King Peppy rushed off in the direction of the rest of his people. He was running so fast that he didn't see a divot in the ground. He stumbled over it and almost fell. He popped back up feeling lighter and ran off towards his people.
A small trolling that was just safely nestled in her father's hair was suddenly on the dirty ground. She let out a loud cry.
A small form rushed up to her. “We have to be quiet, Poppy. Your dad will be back soon.”

Summary
All alone, Branch is on the road.
On a road longer than any exploration exhibition he had ever gone on before, he travels.
Travelling to where?
He does not know.
He has left his only home with no other plan besides to never return.
To never return no matter what happened to him.But sometimes, the best laid plans are the ones you have to improvise when the world just throws whatever the fuck it wants at you.
Because sometimes the world will throw good things at you.
And all you have to do is accept them.
(Whether you accept them gracefully or take it to the face when they are thrown at you makes no difference.)

Branch’s physical journey from Pop Forest to Lonesome Flats, the ‘small’ town that shares its name with the desert.

"Grandma?" Floyd approached Rosiepuff.
"Yes, dear?"
"I think Branch needs to socialize more." He told her. "He's talking to the wall."
Everyone paused. The brothers looked over as Rosiepuff got a baffled look on her face before she turned her head to look down at Floyd.
"What do you mean 'he's talking to the wall'?" She asked.

Summary
I KNOW IM WORKING ON A BUNCH OF OTHER FICS RN BUT I CANTTTT I READ A REACTION FIC THAT HAD THIS SORTA THING BE KIND OF THERE AND MY BRAIN DECIDED I NEEDED IT BUT THERE ISNT ANY OF IT SO HERE YA GO!! Also everything happened a while earlier than in canon cus yes, so both Poppy and Branch are still kids in this. I have no regrets
------------------------------------------------
King Quincy and Queen Essence were glad to have their son, Cooper, back with them. However there was one thing that I settled them to no end: their son's friend, Branch, was grey. There was no other way to put it, and from what they could tell he'd been that way for too long for anyone's good.
Not to mention Cooper had told them that nobody had helped... That wouldn't fly, they'd fix that, no child should have to go through what this one did and they'd make absolute sure he wouldn't ever again and that he'd forget about those who did it in the first place, one way or another.
