When a character's major, overriding goal — one that takes priority over all others — is to go home again. "Home" can be as specific as the character's house, or as general as their home planet. Usually comes as a result of being Trapped in Another World, going Down the Rabbit Hole, or being a Fish out of Water. Sometimes leads to The Homeward Journey. As a part of a Downer or Bittersweet Ending, the character may find that they can't go home again. Or maybe they go home, only to find that it really doesn't feel like home anymore. In a happier variant of that ending, the character can go home but chooses to stay, or discovers a new home that is as good as, or better than the original. If the protagonist is a pet animal, see Tropey, Come Home. This is what forms the backbone of Plot #4: Voyage and Return. For a similar concept that follows Plot #1: The Quest, see The Homeward Journey. Examples |

This is one of the Travelers' two major goals in Worm. They are from an alternate reality and want to find a way back. They eventually succeed, except for Noelle, who had become a Tragic Monster and had to be Mercy Killed, and Trickster, who betrayed them and was incarcerated in the Birdcage. | |

Kill the Villainess follows Eris, who woke up in the body of a romance story's villainess and immediately hates it. The love interests suck, she's looked down upon by everyone else, and she can't kill or harm herself as she must follow the story's plot perfectly. Her life in Korea wasn't sunshine and roses either, but it's better than the world she's stuck in, and so she searches for any means to return home. She ends up successfully leaving despite the love interests efforts to make her stay, thanks in part to a witch and her love interest Anahkin, who ends up following her to her world as well. | |

Done nicely in Kickassia. After The Nostalgia Critic banishes The Cinema Snob, he finds his room has turned into his old review room with his catch phrase echoing when he touches the table.

Discussed Trope in Robert Frost poem "The Death of the Hired Man" (Collected Poems). Silas the itinerant laborer has come back to the farm of Mary and Warren after some time away. Warren isn't thrilled about this, as Silas once went off and left him in the lurch with work to be done, but Mary recognizes that Silas is terribly ill and has really come to the farm to die. Silas has a well-to-do brother, but, as Mary and Warren come to realize, apparently their farm felt more like home to Silas than his estranged brother's house. | |

Nero from Ciel nosurge and its sequel, Ar nosurge was forcibly ripped from her home dimension and into the game's, to be taken advantage of by the locals. She spends all of both games trying to return to her home dimension, no matter the cost—an entire planet, the future of all of a sentient species, or the lives of every living member. The game portrays her as a sympathetic victim of powers beyond her control, villainous and even evil as her actions are. | |

In Small Soldiers, this trope is the In-Universe motivation of the Gorgonites. The toyline's backstory is that the Gorgonites are stranded on Earth and want to return to the land of Gorgon. To do this, they have to learn as much about Earth as possible. The Gorgonites seek to return home despite that world being fictional, believing that they can find a land to call Gorgon. | |

The Wiz, an all-African-American adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, naturally has Dorothy's goal involve finding her way back home from Oz. She expresses this longing in the song "Soon As I Get Home", which she sings before she leaves Munchkinland for the Emerald City, and the finale "Home" (quoted below), a Triumphant Reprise she sings in order for the Silver Slippers to help her return to her Aunt Em's farm. The TV version of The Wiz plays around with the meaning of, "home". Dorothy initially desires to return to Omaha, Nebraska, where she spent her childhood until her parents died. However, her adventure helps her realize that her real home is where she can stay with people with whom she shares love. Subsequently, when the Wiz sets off for Omaha in her balloon, Dorothy instead decides to try and find a way to return to her Aunt Em's farm - Which doesn't take long, since the Good Witches Addaperle and Glinda fly in almost immediately to help her. |

In The Odyssey, the protagonist has been unable to return home to Ithaca for 20 years of warfare and increasingly lonely wandering. Even when the goddess Calypso wants to make him her immortal sex buddy, all he wants is to see his mortal family again. Referenced in a well-known sonnet from the collection Les Regrets by Joachim du Bellay (1525-1560), who felt homesick for France while serving as a cardinal's secretary in Rome: "The seat my fathers built pleases me more than the Roman palaces with their bold front, more than hard marble I like the fine shale, more the Gallic Loire than the Latin Tiber, more my little Liré than the Palatine Mount, more than the sea breeze I like the Angevin sweetness." The opening words, Heureux, qui comme Ulysse ("Happy (is he), who like Ulysses") have also been used as as the title of a film starring Fernandel, who takes an old horse to the Camargue to set it free. |

When the events of The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World roll around some ten weeks later, they plan to do whatever it is they're supposed to do as quickly as possible so they can get home before too much time goes by on Earth. Of course, once they discover that they've actually been in a giant telepathic MMORPG, they're even more ready to get home as quickly as they can manage. | |

Very much the case for the four in With Strings Attached. While they (mostly) love the magic that's been dumped on them, they sure as hell would rather play with it on Earth than on C'hou. And they SURE as hell don't want to be forced into the role of adventurers.

The Voyage of Máel Dúin: The voyagers discover an island ruled by a queen who invites them into her palace and straightaway takes Máel Dúin as her lover and sets up his seventeen companions with her own seventeen daughters. She also reveals that on her island there is no old age, and that they will live an eternal life of pleasure in her palace as long as they stay on the island. After spending three months on the queen's island, Máel Dúin's companions want to return to Ireland. At first Máel Dúin objects on the grounds that their life in Ireland could not possibly be better than their life here; only when his companions announce that they will leave with or without him, Máel Dúin chooses to go with them, rather than to part with them. The queen does not want them to leave and prevents their departure with magic, until after nine months they outwit the queen and succeed in leaving the island. | |

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz puts Dorothy on The Homeward Journey, but near the end of the book, Glinda tells Dorothy about the Silver Shoes. "All you have to do is to knock the heels together three times and command the shoes to carry you wherever you wish to go." So Dorothy declares her desire, saying, "Take me home to Aunt Em!" | |

The Lion King (1994): Simba runs away from home following his father's tragic death. Though he enjoys his time with Timon and Puumba, reuniting with an adult Nala makes him feel guilty for running away. He eventually does come back home, defeats his evil uncle (who, it turns out, orchestrated his brother's murder), and takes his rightful spot as king. | |

When Bubba is shot and lies dying in front of Forrest, he says his last words, which reflect what every soldier really thinks about overseas: | |

Nerd joke: "There's no place like 127.0.0.1."note You are excused if you didn't get it. An internet router (like the one you are likely surfing TV Tropes on right now) uses this as the default "home" internet address for any information that doesn't go out to the Internet (like if you were playing a game using your router as a network hub). | |

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Ford Prefect uses this as a method of coercion: "In moments of great stress, every life form that exists gives out a tiny subliminal signal. This signal simply communicates an exact and almost pathetic sense of how far that being is from the place of his birth." Ford hits the barman with an "incomprehensible sense of distance" and very much gets his point across. | |

In Diablo, Inarius was an angel who grew disillusioned with the Eternal Conflict and created the world of Sanctuary alongside the demon Lilith to escape the war. For his crimes in stealing the World Stone to create Sanctuary and procreating with a demon, Inarius was banished from the High Heavens and given to Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred, as a peace offering. Tortured for millenia, Inarius eventually escaped Hell and returned to Sanctuary. By Diablo IV, all Inarius wants is to return to the High Heavens, and he'll do anything from killing his former lover Lilith to destroying Sanctuary itself if it will earn him the right to return home. | |

The Maitlands, following their tragic demise, try to get their beloved house back from the Deetz family by learning how to haunt from Beetlejuice.
