John Dory wishes he could go back to the night the band disbanded. He wants to fix his relationships with his brothers. He’s missed so much of their lives, he wants to right where he went wrong and give the brothers the life he knows they deserve.
“Branch, don’t be a baby. We’re your brothers.”
“And Poppy is the only family I have left.” Branch puts emphasis on her name, watching as they flinch back. “You don’t abandon family. Not that I’d expect any of you to know that.”
(or, alternatively, poppy gets taken by superstars velvet and veneer and it's a downward spiral from there.)
What if Branch went on a diplomatic mission to Mount Rageous to see if its people were truly friendly? (And no he doesn't go alone, but the company doesn't help... right away)
What if Queen Barb had broadcast the whole concert online? (Yes, she threatened some Funk trolls to do it)
What if all of Mount Rageous knew what went down at the Rock concert that almost destroyed music?
What if a pair of siblings were aware Branch was visiting?
OR
Branch gets captured with Floyd.
Branch was always alone ever since his Grandma died. Nobody was there for him, so he left but stayed close. Twenty years later, he meets Poppy and she makes it her goal to reintroduce Branch to Pop Village.
Branch had never expected this to lead to him saving Trolltopia and reuniting with his brothers.
Very inspired by My Sister's Boyfriend by DragonEmpress001 highly recommendedBranch was too busy to remember to tell her brothers something important. After all, saving Floyd took priority. She'll tell them about her husband later. After all they left her for twenty something years more or less, she can tell them about her partner when they get back.
What if Floyd had finally reached his breaking point? Taking the first opportunity he gets, Floyd takes matters into his own hands and forcefully turns the twins into trolls, but only has pure intentions towards one of them.
Branch's relationship with his family has gotten better. Things in general are getting better. He's got a wedding to be apart of, a police captain to make proud, a famous brother to support, a niece to look forward to, a girlfriend to adore, and a city to save.
What could go wrong?
