Summary
Branch is different. He wasn't always like that, but he is.
Now, all of Pop village know him as the wild child, who's not quite right in the head and bound to loose it soon.
They don't realize he lost it long ago, until they do.
Or: Branch is feral and yet also smart. The snack pack tries to befriend him and are better at it than in canon.

Viva is having a hard time properly dealing with her anger towards King Peppy and Poppy can't blame her, she's angry too. Creek is back and alive, but will he be accepted with open arms? Adventures of love, loss, found family, rekindled flames, and friendships. The road to forgiveness is a long and bumpy one.
Elements from Trolls TBGO and Trollstopia. Some lore has been altered or switched around to fit better into movie canon. Slight movie canon alterations.

Summary
Two hundred years ago, six Troll clans escaped from the clutches of the Bergen Empire, and separated to start over someplace new.
Two hundred years later, Princess Poppy prepares to throw the biggest, loudest, craziest party ever to celebrate said escape...
… Only to find one of her closest friends unconscious in the middle of the woods.
Everything after that goes downhill pretty quickly.
With most of her friends gone and the apocalypse set to happen in less than a month, Poppy teams up with Branch, her nemesis and polar opposite, on a daring mission to save everyone.
But both soon find themselves in hopeless positions: Poppy is forced to watch the world as she knows it crumble as the truth of Trollopia resurfaces, and Branch is confronted with a past that he can no longer hide from.
In the midst of the chaos, Poppy and Branch find solace - and a possible solution - in the most unexpected places: in themselves-
-and each other.
