Notes: Colección of One-Shots is a collection of one-shots starring Miguel Rivera aged up to 21. Some chapters will be rough ideas, summaries, or unfinished short stories. Might have one-sided slash and kidnapping. RATING MAY GO UP.
Ch.1 – Summaries of Vague Ideas
1) Twisting the Line
Miguel Rivera, freshly 21 and touring the United States to further his dreams as a musician, assumed he was safe from any spiritual havoc. But, when a once-dead enemy twists the line between life and death for revenge, Miguel finds that living alone in a foreign country is one thing – dodging a hellbent sorcerer's plans is another!
2) Unfinished Business
After being cursed at the age of 12, Miguel had long since learned to respect the dead. But, when he stumbles upon a murder scene years later and narrowly escapes notice, the victim tracks him down and casts a curse. He will see and be plagued by spirits with unfinished business forever…unless he solves the murder and frees the victim's soul.
3) Impossible Truths
When Miguel learns his 9 year old sister refuses to believe in Diá de Los Muertos, he worries not only for his ancestors, but for his sister as well. If she didn't believe, would she forget those she lost? What would happen to her when she passed? He promises to change her mind, but how can he do so without proof?
4) Cuties in Cafés (crossover with Big Hero 6)
Miguel didn't think he'd have time to fall in love: between juggling family, music gigs, and a big move to San Fransokyo, there was no free time! But when he wanders into Lucky Cat Café late at night, he crashes into a fast-talking young man with a white robot. And apparently he's a resident superhero. ¡Dios mío! What in the world?
5) Culture Shock (crossover with Big Hero 6)
San Fransokyo is so unlike Santa Cecilia: massive. Miguel is lost within seconds and resists the urge to ask lost spirits for directions. Fortunately, he meets a handsome, not-dead, local to help him navigate the sprawling metropolis. Unfortunately, he reveals his cursed ability. Hiro just thinks he's crazy, so everything's fine…until he learns that Hiro's brother died and that exact brother is the one following them.
6) Puzzling Pieces (crossover with Big Hero 6)
Miguel finds himself lost in San Fransokyo in search of his apartment. It's hard to ignore the temptation of asking the wandering spirits for directions, but he can't reveal his curse again. Luckily, one of the locals takes pity and directs him. Both are surprised to learn that Miguel is Hiro's new tenant. Miguel hopes they'll get along well enough, but when he asks about the photos of a young man, he learns that the man died years ago. But that can't be right, because when he checks the Land of the Dead in his dreams, Tadashi isn't there.

Notes: I am smitten with the movie Coco. From the story to the characters and to the music. URGH! One-shots are tempting. Oh how I love to throw happy characters into horrible, traumatic situations. What a great stress reliever for me!
Stumbled across some Coco and Big Hero 6 crossover fics, and I kinda dig the idea so there may or may not be some eventual Miguel Rivera x Hiro Hamada action in a one-shot or two. I dunno, haven't gotten that far yet.
