What's Bothering Those Doughs Bro's?! by Gingerbreadredhead
Fandoms: Witchbrook (Chucklefish Video Game)
25 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Where do we even begin?! The name alone tells the journey of a thousand missteps...
The name "Dough Bros" was not meant to be, but it stuck because it was named by stubborn guests with "good" intentions, who kept coming back despite the chaos, it was essentially named by neither of them, because they kept fighting over what they wanted the name to be, Brodrick was waiting for them to settle on a perfect name of his choice that they'd ultimately agree they "both" liked, and Romeo kept taking initiative, with trial, and error, naming it something new every five minutes, but it never felt "theirs" Romeo feels like it caters to Brodrick too much as he gets the center stage, and Brodrick hates how informal it is and feels like it isn't a good depiction of his more prestigious full name....
Even their own names are a constant source of tension...
Brodrick, people call him Brody, Brod, even the occasional Rick! He hates all three. His name is Brodrick.
Romeo, people call him that and only that, he desperately wants a nickname, and he keeps trying to create them, none that stick, they feel forced.
Brodrick wants purity & tradition. Romeo wants redemption & reinvention.
