Waking up is a surprise, and a wholly unpleasant one. Confused and in pain and alone, Héctor wants only one thing in the whole world. To be home with his family.

His words died as he saw her face, and the horrible truth struck him. It was his Coco, staring up at him with large familiar eyes in a skeletal face, bright purple swirls on each cheek. All he could think was, 'you shouldn't be here.'

All Isaiah Rivera wants is to plan the perfect first date with his wife after nearly a century. Was that too much to ask? Male!Imelda, Fem!Hector, Requested on AO3

Birthday Request. It may seem like Héctor is an ordinary man but in reality, he is less that ordinary, he is extraordinary, he is... Super. Hero Au

As soon as Miguel leaves for the Land of the Living, Imelda and a dying Hector has a conversation. My version of what might happen as soon as Miguel is blessed, and goes home to get his great grandma to remember her deceased father before he is forgotten forever. Spoilers for Coco

Ernesto has always been good at making the best of bad situations. It's helped him survive, even get ahead. His partner hasn't been cooperating lately, getting homesick and talking about quitting. It's a tough situation to solve, but not as difficult as figuring out what to do after. (T for off-screen character death.)

"I want to live for you as well, mi amor." As she looked down at Héctor, she didn't see a skeleton of the man she married. Suddenly, she saw the young boy she fell in love with all those years ago... (Rated T just in case (for future chapters)).

For Imelda, trying to ignore Héctor is like throwing water into the sea: pointless. It doesn't help that her family likes him, and she's left alone to fend off his odd style of wooing. [Rating for... future adult themes? I guess?]

Little drabble about Hector worrying and Imelda trying to reassure him vis-a-vis Ernesto. Hopefully a good one.

Sometimes you just gotta doodle stage designs, adopt chihuahuas, and murder your best friend for his lullaby. #Relatable #Mood #Relationship goals

Imelda wanted Coco to have an experience to not make things go really loco.

Pepita doesn't catch Miguel in time.

Ernesto grabbed Hector's shoulders and forced him to meet his eyes. "Your wife doesn't define who you are. You can be someone beyond your marriage, beyond Santa Cecilia. Hector, you can be who you are now, standing in front of me. You said that what we were doing felt good." Hector would regret his response for the rest of his life and his death. HectorXErnesto, Ernector. Rated M.

So, this story is basically my head-canon 'prequel' to the movie, what happened between Héctor's flashbacks and Miguel's adventure in the Land of the Dead, though I'm mostly going to be focusing on the dead members of the Rivera family. What can I say, I'm a sucker for tragedy and the supernatural. But don't worry, we'll get to see some of the living too. Eventually.

"Cela signifie que vous devriez vous préparer à ce qui pourrait arriver," dit le Dr. García. "On se souvient à peine de cet homme. Peu importe qui a encore des souvenirs de lui et a arrêté la Dernière Mort… cela pourrait ne pas être assez. Peut-être qu'il finira par retrouver ses forces et se réveiller. Ce serait l'issue idéale. Mais sa condition n'est pas prometteuse, Señora."

A tragedy has shaken the Rivera family. Their 13-year-old child, Miguel, was taken from them too soon. It will be a while before anyone can get over his death. But how is Miguel faring in the Land of the Dead? Land of the Dead focus. SORRY! NO INSPIRATION! HIATUS!

Hector and Imelda attend the same masquerade party in the land of the dead. They talk for quite a long time assuming they are strangers. How long does it last before they realize who they are talking to is their spouse? Hector and Imelda one shot fluff based in the land of the dead.

It looks like Hector will soon be forgotten. What will he talk with Imelda about in his last minutes?

What do you think happened in the year gap near the end of Coco? I might have an idea. Just a cute little one-shot that's been bouncing around in my head for a while. Hope you enjoy! All canon pairings. Rated K.

Rebecca was just your average half white, half Hispanic 12 year old girl from America. But when she unexpectedly meets her end during a family vacation/reunion to Mexico, she's suddenly thrown into a world not even her wildest dreams could have prepared her for.

When he opens his eyes, the world remains dark. AU/UA

Et jamais, jamais elle n'oublia le goût des lèvres d'Hector sur les siennes, ou la couleur que prenait ses joues quand il murmurait "Imelda" au travers des notes hasardeuses de la guitare paresseuse.

10-year-old Imelda finds herself warming up to that weird boy, Héctor. So of course she has to go to the plaza to hear him play for her (er, I mean, buy groceries and totally ignore him... totally). A follow-up to 'Al Escondite', but you can probably read it as a standalone.

The Rivera family in the Land of the Dead gain a new addition but it's not who they were expecting, especially not so soon. (on indefinite hiatus)

When Rosa accidentally breaks Miguel's beloved guitar, it takes a surprising encounter in the cemetery with her infamous great-great grandfather Hector Rivera to help her mend her problems. (Oneshot)
