    Summary

    In canon, Branch lives alone well into adulthood, surrounded by people who can't understand why he is the way he is and unwilling to try to understand until decades later.

    In this universe, Branch is found by people who didn't understand, but learned to. And despite the fact those people are supposed to be far too different from him, he feels more like them than he has anyone else.

     

    A 'Branch gets adopted by the Rock Trolls' fic because I fell into a Trolls rabbit hole and I have to be the entertainment I want to see.

    Summary

    Here’s a story that’s simplistic in its premise and silly in its tone. Luckily, it attempts to redeem itself with generous helpings of sugar and salt, courtesy of these two college kids named Poppy and Branch.

    Mediocrity at its finest but (as Poppy might call it), here’s their whole “Adventure” of living together. Everything from the grinning happy highs to piecing up each others’ shattered spirits.

    But as times passes, both eventually (and unintentionally) dig to the core of who their roommate really is. And lo and behold, the brightest blossoms still wilt when the sun dies and dreary rainclouds are just the façade of tomorrow’s clear skies.

    Summary

    Arnold had a good feeling about Hillwood. He’d meet the girl here. Maybe it’d even be like one of those John Hughes movies Mom loved. A "What if Arnold had grown up in the jungle with his parents and then moved to Hillwood when he was a teenager?" AU.

    Summary

    Teodora lo tenía todo: dinero, belleza, y aunque a veces su actitud de niña rica lo disimulara, un buen corazón. Tenía la suerte también de tener amigos verdaderos y por si fuera poco, un don del que casi nadie sabía: el poder de ver, tocar y poder hablar con lo sobre natural.

    Sin embargo, cuando vendió su alma para salvar la vida de su abuelo, no esperaba que el Charro Negro se la llevara a su finca con él en lugar de simplemente tomar su alma. No ayudaba a su caso, tampoco, el hecho de que no era el ser desalmado que describían las leyendas.

    Éste era, quizá, el mejor trato que pudo haber hecho.

    In which Helga is tall, Arnold is short, and neither of them is happy about it.

    Or: the one where two idiots fall in love.
