   Summary

   Nobody likes having murder-happy evil sorceress problems, but the Trollhunters are main characters, so tough tiddly for them. On the other hand, at least they get to adopt an undead assassin uncle because of it (much to Angor Rot's confusion). Maybe one day he'll learn to stop flirting with death long enough to truly appreciate the third chance he's been given.

   In the meantime, everyone can bond through their shared panic in trying to diffuse the Shadow Realm Sorceress time bomb that's about to go off over their heads. Slice of life (and possibly death) to follow.

   Canon-divergent, taking place after season 3 of Trollhunters. Does not follow 3Below or Wizards canon, although some of those characters may make appearances.
