Unlikely, But Likely

by Pocket_Sand

Robin’s eyes lazily rolled around for a moment, searching for their target before eventually landing on Nancy. A dopey grin spread across her face and a deep chuckle came from her throat.“You’re pretty.”Nancy looked into her unfocused eyes and sighed.“And you’re concussed.”*Now officially a haven of one shots.***

To Be Left Behind

by JasicoWhatHaveYouDoneToMe

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.”Introduction to AU: Chapters 1-20 (Viva)Trolls 1: Chapters 21- 35 (Viva)Interlude: Chapters 36 - 49 (Branch)Trolls World Tour: Chapters 50 - 75 (Branch)Interlude: Chapters 76 - 86 (Clay)Trolls Band Together: Chapters 87 -121 (Clay)Conclusion: Chapters 122 - ?

Authenticity

won't leave him behind

by serotonin_is_in_the_kiwis (KiwiKat_Writes)

Every time, every single time he called for Emmet, Dawn’s soul cracked. Why now? Why was he remembering in this time, when she couldn’t move quickly enough and he was bleeding out on her back, on the snow? Why in this Arceus-damned situation, when life was leaving him with every step? Lightning crackled again, and Dawn felt her hair rise off her shoulders. Ahead of them, a painfully familiar rainbow parhelion formed, shimmering and dancing in the light. Distortion.
