A/N: This story will be a collection of one-shots for Total Drama. They will not be necessarily connected. Mostly Duncany.

This takes inspiration from my divorced grandma and grandpa from a story my great-aunt was telling about when my grandma was dying in the hospital. Bold is Duncan, underline is Bridgette, and Italics is Courtney. I'm sorry it's depressing.
