   • Aleida POV
   • Takes place from pre-Season 5 through the end of 5x03
   • Plot spoilers through 5x03
   • Canon compliant through all of Season 5
   • but kind of a fix-it for those brief one-note Rosales-Diaz household scenes
   • and for the near-erasure of Victor and Javi and their respective dynamics with Aleida this season
   • and for the way they sped through my girl’s big move and neglected to give it the emotional treatment it deserved
   • give me more nuance and texture
   • and more complex feelings!
   • which sort of always lead back to Margo
   • I said this was canon compliant didn’t I
   • but also to Aleida’s family bonds and history and the way Margo intersects with it all

   Summary

   Quick decisions aren’t necessarily less complicated. Especially when they involve leaving the planet.

   (Or: an exploration of Aleida’s emotional arc in 5x01-5x03…because I needed it. Also: a sort-of love letter to Rosales family generational dreams, and to Margo for furthering them).
