    Summary

    Is it possible to regain what has been lost? Is what was lost worth chasing in the first place? The path to healing is not linear, and the steps are not always clear. As we reach to repair what was broken, we break others in return, and the pieces get jumbled in the shifting light of the present and the past, in the shadow of the future. What we are left with is not quite what was before, or even what could have been, but can it have worth all on its own?

    Mirabel discovers that Tío Bruno is having "surprise" visions again, and in her opinion, he is not handling it well. When Mamá tells her that Bruno is different now than he was before the walls, she can't quite let the idea go. She decides to try her hardest to fix what has been broken--for Bruno, and maybe a little for herself, too.

    Takes place 7 months after the movie. Inspired by the credit art of Mirabel and Bruno sitting together, surrounded by sand and rats. POV of Mirabel and Bruno alternating, and other characters sprinkled in, too.

    Summary

    It had been so long since he had been in here. For years already, he had fully believed that he would never see the room again. Standing here now, letting his gaze roam around, he was surprised to find disappointment settling heavily in his chest. He’d managed to get inside. Already, he felt trapped within the tall walls. Defeated, somehow, like the room had managed to pull him back into its grip and never planned to let go.

    ---

    Mirabel finds Bruno standing outside the door to his room and learns that he hasn't dared to enter since the magic returned. She never expected that following him inside would lead to new revelations about her tío, his powers and his past.

    Summary

    [discontinued] Bruno felt it when Mirabel accepted his hands. The rush of familiar magic; the pull of a prophecy coming to fruition before them. But as he stared at his niece within the sand, her glassy eyes illuminated like golden halos in the dark. She saw something he hadn’t, something he’d missed in all his years of telling the future.

    He knew there and then that she had indeed been given a gift all those years ago. A powerful, humbling, dangerous gift. Magic like his; except where he toiled too often in the dark…she strode so fearlessly in the light.
