    Summary

    Imelda never expected to see her former husband's songbook among Ernesto de la Cruz's personal effects. She never expected it to fall into her hands.

    And she never expected to see Héctor on the other side of the veil.

    Summary

    "It means that you should prepare yourself for what might happen," said Dr. García gently. "Señora, this man is barely remembered. Whoever still holds memories of him and stopped the Final Death… it may not be enough. Perhaps he will eventually recover his strength and wake up. That would be the ideal outcome. But his condition is not promising, Señora."

    Summary

    Héctor thought he would spend the rest of his afterlife living in Shantytown. He never expected that an unknown member of his family—unknown to him, at least—would find him and bring the truth of his death to light. That he would have a second chance with his beloved Imelda. That he would have the opportunity to spend his final years as a member of his familia.

    OR

    What if Héctor was able to make amends with Imelda a decade before Miguel found his way to the Land of the Dead? Still movie compliant (mostly).

    This story is an outline that I do not plan to finish. Even still, it has a sort of conclusion and might still be fun to read. I hope it inspires some people to write something someday. :)

    Summary

    “Oh,” I sigh, rubbing still-shaking hands across my stubbly face because oh, that was so close. Too close. We were supposed to be done with the theatrics, with the life-and-death bullhonkey.

    What the heck, universe? Not cool.

    I don’t want to move for a bit. The siren song of dissociation calls my name, and honestly, I’m so, so chill with just sitting here for a second and decompressing and trying to remember all the breathing techniques I learned for my students, butー

    But the lights are still flashing red, flashing with urgency and Mary is saying something and I have to drag my mind, kicking and screaming, back to focusー

    “-ected. Toxic gas in Laboratory detected. Toxic gas in Laboratory-” Mary drones, and once it clicks into place the cold sweat is backー

    Oh god noー

    The banging noise. The gas leak. The lab.

    Rocky.

    Summary

    Grace’s discomfort with Dr. Devon Hale was a slow, creeping thing. Because on the surface, she was a perfectly nice woman. She worked under Dr. Lamai on the coma bed technology, was tall and imposing with long brown hair and a symmetrical face that others categorized as “pretty”—which Grace only knew because he'd overheard some lab techs comment on it one day. He never had the eye for that kind of thing.
    One of the scientists on Stratt’s Vat likes Dr. Grace, and she doesn’t understand when he says no.
