Summary
The night of red snow or Scarlet night is a winter celebration that has been held since long before the appearance of the Bergens and was celebrated by the Pop Trolls.
Every December 24 and 25, trolls gathered in the main clearing of the village so they could give all their loved ones some gift in gratitude for everything they did for them throughout the year, and from there they could all see together how crimson flowers painted every part of the forest.
Branch knew this, but even though this celebration was intended to be affectionate, he always ended up with a bitter taste in his mouth that cost a lot to take off.
Maybe it's because he sees it as another noisy party, or because he doesn't really have someone to spend the holiday with or maybe there's another reason, and he doesn't expect this year to change.

Summary
Branch doesn’t remember everything about the past, especially about the earliest days of his life. Those memories are faded, the words washed away to leave behind only feelings of warmth, safety and love. It leads him to leaning more on his still secure toddler memories whenever he wants to recall his brothers John Dory, Spruce, Clay and Floyd. He remembers their smiling faces, the way they loved and encouraged him. Those memories were still vibrant and easy to understand.
But in the land of dreams exceptions could be made.
In the land of dreams Branch could feel their love from any year, from any time. Even if the memory went away when he awoke, those feelings always remained. Branch could always take solace in that. Which he did for over two decades.
But things were different now. Because they were here now.
John Dory, Bruce, Clay and Floyd.
His brothers are home.

Summary
When Clay had been a little trolling, he had received a dictionary for his birthday. His brothers Johnny and Spruce had given to him, and even though Grandma thought he was a little too young to get a book as a present, Clay took time every day to read his favorite book, learning as many words as he could and using them in front of his very impressed big brothers.
“You’re so smart Clay!” Spruce would say.
“We’re so proud of you little bro,” John Dory would say, ruffling his wild hair.
And back then, being smart and silly had been the highlights of Clay’s personality, things all his brothers praised him for. But things were different now. Clay was a teenager now. And while he used to love being funny, these days it just wasn’t the same.
No one took him seriously.
Whenever he tried to be smart, whenever he tried to use his knowledge to better BroZone, it was overlooked, and Clay found himself feeling unseen. Being the “Fun One” of BroZone had used to be just that: fun. But now it left him feeling like no one saw him for all that he was anymore. Well, almost no one as he would soon find out on a certain little trolling’s birthday.

Summary
Branch felt exhilarated every time he slipped into his “B” persona and tonight was no different. They were at the end of a show, trolls cheering their names as Branch, Hype, Trickee, Boom and Ablaze danced and sang together. Their voices blended beautifully, harmony on point as the show came to a close.
And then they were done for the night. Heading back to the Bunker for a sleepover, it was easy to fall into this new rhythm of celebrating together over their success. Branch felt at ease with his friends and bandmates. They spent the night winding down chatting about anything that crossed their minds. Including a certain pink troll.

Summary
Ever since the start of BroZone Spruce had been known as the heartthrob. And while that had been a title that he had worn with pride at the very earliest years of the band, these days he had mixed feelings.
Very mixed feelings.
Something about all the constant pressure to perform, work out, look good, and all was getting to him. He could feel it in the way he could feel his irritation growing at his brother John Dory with each passing day. He’d even given back his glasses that John gave him when they were kids, hoping his only older brother would get a clue. A clue that Spruce was mad at him. Which of course didn’t work out. Because now Bitty B had glasses which defeated the purpose of what he was trying to express but who was he kidding Bitty B was adorable in those glasses. And now said trolling was being handed off to Spruce for very important lessons that his brothers deemed only he could give:
Lessons on ways with the ladies.
And with a trolling as excitable as Branch he knew he’d have his hands full. And even if Spruce thought Bitty B was too young for this sort of thing maybe it would still be fun.

Summary
Within a month of his friends’ proposal, Kismet was born. It was the perfect name for their group, a word that dealt with fate and destiny, things that they all felt tied their friendship together. And while none of them had intentionally tried to create stereotypical roles to fall into like Branch remembered from his days in BroZone, as they developed their own unique style within the band, each member soon found their role both on stage and in public.
And while some made perfect sense, Branch couldn’t help but wonder if he was cut out for this. His friends are quick to reassure him that he definitely was.

Summary
It had been three months since Branch had become friends with Hype, Trickee, Boom and Ablaze and everything was going surprisingly well. Branch did his best to split time between Poppy (his crush and current best friend) and hanging out with the guys. Hype, Trickee, Boom and Ablaze were happy to hang out just about anywhere, but the group usually met by the river or at Branch’s Bunker. His relationship with them was one he kept entirely separate from the one he had and friends he shared with Poppy. It was also one that gave way for a brand new opportunity.
Question was would he be ready to take it? Or would memories of the past hold him back once more?
