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
Some years after Brozone's breakup, something happens to the leader. He doesn't remember some things, some things he shouldn't remember, and everything's just generally a little bit confusing.
John Dory can get used to it, though. He knows he's resiliant like that, at least.
But some time after a worldwide event he'd somehow been left out of, he's made re-aware that he has brothers that he remembers except he doesn't remember except he does— and as confusing as it is, he doesn't care. One of those brothers is in danger, and he needs the rest to save him.
He'll do them all right, even if he doesn't remember how he did them wrong. Even if they still hate him. Will. Still. He doesn't know.
Even if he's different now, he's still gonna try to be their big brother.

Summary
Twenty years is a long time. Twenty years of hate. Twenty years of resentment. Twenty years of regret. That’s a lot of feelings and they can’t just be forgotten after one perfect harmony to save their brother.
Floyd needs time to recover so Branch offers his bunker for them to stay at however it’s not all lollipops and rainbows. For the first time in Twenty years, they’re all under the same roof again and while they’ve all changed in the time they’ve been separated, somethings never change.
John Dory is trying his best to be there for his brothers and adapt through all their changes. If only they would let him. If only they would accept that he’s changed as well. Like how he’s older and not that perfect obsessed troll anymore. Like having a husband who was also a bounty hunter.

Summary
Life was looking better for JD. He was working on himself, no longer lost to grief over his brothers. His life was not perfect, not by a long shot, but it finally felt like he could get out of bed with minimal effort.
He was content; hell, he was even happy! which means life has decided to humble him again. This time, instead of the crushing realization that all his friends and loved ones are dead it takes the form of something far worse.
Two teenagers who decided that they would rather suck the life essence from him then go to a vocal coach.

Summary
"¿Era ese su castigo por haber lastimado a su familia cuando se marchó de casa? ¿Por haber sido egoísta y haberse desvanecido de sus vidas sin mirar hacia atrás? ¿Era esto lo que obtenía por haberlos dejado atrás durante tantos años?"
John Dory se ve condenado a presenciar una dolorosa pérdida una y otra vez. Nadie más recuerda lo que ocurre, dejándolo a él con la dolorosa carga de las muertes de su hermano, la desesperación y la certeza de que el día se repetirá sin importar lo que haga.
Inspirado en la canción "Kagerō Daze" de Hatsune Miku

Summary
John Dory knew he had been gone for too long, and he regretted it. Spending time on the Neverglade Trail, by himself with the exception of Rhonda helped clear his head. Helped him remember just how much he valued his family, how much he loved them. As he made his way back to Bergen Town, back to the Troll Tree he had lived in with all his bros. Hopefully they would accept his apology. Hopefully they could all be a family again.
Viva warned Clay this would be a dangerous journey. And he did not disagree, but he had to know if Branch, Floyd and Grandma had survived. He had not made it back to their home in time on the day of the Great Escape, and while Viva was worried that all the other trolls were gone he could not believe his family was. He refused. While Clay was plenty angry about the events leading up to the BroZone breakup still, he loved his family. Floyd, Branch and Grandma had not done anything wrong. So he needed to confirm they were okay. If they made it out he would stop at nothing to find them.
But neither John Dory nor Clay knew who they were about to run into.
And neither knew the journey they were about to embark on together.
A journey that would reunite BroZone once more.

Summary
Someone had commented on my story, A Different John Dory, and asked if the bro's would come to Vacay Island and find out about John's Epilepsy that way. Considering I already had a direction I wanted the story to go, not to mention multiple chapters already drafted, I couldn't see how I would be able to work that in there. But I really liked the idea and soon found myself writing it. So my guy, here it is...
This takes place fifteen years after the brothers have split. It's been six years since John had arrived on Vacay Island, and he has been doing well. His seizures are mostly under control and he is fine with that. With how aware he is and few his seizures have been, he is able to travel again and be more independent. Life was good, the only thing that would make it better would be... Floyd?

Summary
“Bro-Bro going So-Lo, YOLO.” Having gotten in the last word, John went down on his grapple, barely stopping it before he hit the ground, and releasing it with years of practiced ease.
He begins to angrily walk off before he freezes, the encounter washing over him. Oh sweet Comp what the heck had he just done. He had just blown up at his brothers and blamed them for his screw up, and worse he had told them he didn’t need them! He had left them alone, he needed to go back, to apologize, to-...
Turning around, John slowly looks back up at their pod, he could just barely make out a flash of Purple crashing out of it, followed not long after by a crazed streak of Yellow, both scampering higher up into the tree. Oh, so they stormed out together, that’s good, that they're not alone. He’s glad for once that they never follow his lead, afterall, this would be the worst time for his brothers to start taking after him.
Essentially, another John Dory came back story, where John didn't know the others left! Because I don't think he did. I don't know why I'm obsessed with this one Troll, but I am. Also, I am sprinkling in headcanons because I can, tell me yours and we can talk about it.
