    Summary

    'It was funny, and not really in a ha-ha way, how many similarities Vaggie was finding between herself and Charlie’s dad. Husk would probably chuckle and say something about daddy issues and Vaggie would have to deck him.'

    Or: Charlie looks at a world and sees things to fix. Vaggie really, really wants her to not put her dad in that category. Yet here she is, beating up horny teenagers with a metal pipe so the royals of Hell can enjoy a b̶o̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶e̶x̶e̶r̶c̶i̶s̶e̶ family picnic.

    Summary

    The first time Héctor left, Imelda had been sure he'd come back. The second time he leaves, she's certain he won't.

     

    With no way of knowing his picture would be placed on the ofrenda, Héctor says his goodbyes and disappears rather than burden his family as he withers away. Which is fine, Imelda tells herself. Just fine. Until somehow she finds herself at the bank of the river, staring into Shantytown, determined to find her husband and bring him home.

    Summary

    Victoria's third Día de los Muertos on the other side is a pleasant and uneventful night. Dropping off family friend Ceci's offerings and stumbling upon her friend with a tragic past is unfortunate, not life-changing. Héctor's just reimbursing Ceci for a Frida Kahlo costume he misplaced. Sure, dying at twenty one and having no foto on any ofrenda is sad, but at least her family isn't like that.

    Things get complicated when it is accidentally revealed that 'Ceci's tragic friend Héctor' and 'her good for nothing abuelo' may, in fact, be the same person.

    .

    Or: Ceci López accidentally reunites grandfather and granddaughter thirty-two years early and Victoria won't rest until she has uncovered the truth of her family's greatest tragedy, even if she has to talk to Mamá Imelda about that músico to get there.

    Summary

    ‘What do you mean he’s leaving?' Coco says.

    ‘I’ll be back tomorrow,’ Hector assures her, taking her hand and nodding eagerly, repetitively, a gesture that belays his youth. ‘I’ll be back tomorrow, I promise.’

    Imelda stands tall in the doorway, her arms crossed across her chest. Her shoulders aren’t hunched - of course not - but there’s something in her stern face, the stubborn purse of her mouth. Coco blinks.

    They’re not together, she realises slowly.

     

    Or: despite the truth being revealed, Coco’s parents haven’t resolved their issues before her arrival in the land of the dead. She intends to fix that.
