Hey everyone it's me I saw all the episodes and I'm excited for the finale, I'm also happy that Victor and Carla are redeemed. So here's my Elena and Varian Story where Varian meets Victor and Carla for the first time in this universe aside from my other stories. I hope you enjoy!

WORK IN PROGRESS

Elena and Varian were preparing lunch on Naomi's ship while watching the prisoners Victor and Carla Delgado

Elena is having a little trouble cooking with her broken arm while using her other arm to point her scepter at the Delgados who are in handcuffs.

Varian however was doing just fine with the cooking, if he didn't have to keep avoiding being hit by Elena's scepter.

"Woah watch it Elena!"said Varian

"Sorry!" said Elena

Do you have to hold up your scepter in the kitchen? asked Varian.

"I need to watch them just in case they try anything." said Elena

"Well I can't help you cook while you swing that scepter around!" said Varian.

Can you pass me the oregano? It's up there...

WHACK!

Elena accidentally hit Varian with the scepter which causes them to stumble over and bump himself into a pile of pots which dropped on his head.

"Bon appetit" said an dizzy unconscious Varian

Elena felt bad for him. "Sorry Varian"

Victor made an offer to help

"Please let us help you two with that better yet we'll cook for you"

"Nice try but I'm not untying you"said Elena

"We're not asking for our tamboritas, just a couple aprons." said Carla.

"What harm could possibly come of it well other than an exceptional meal" Victor chuckled

"But I'm a great cook so..." said Elena

"Elena the stew!" yelled Varian. Steam was in the air as Elena and Varian ran to crockpot to close the lid.

"Well that could've been a disas.."

BOOM!

The stew blew up in Varian's face which is covered in ash

"I'm starting to think you're not such a great cook" said Varian

Elena nervously chuckled.

...

Elena and Varian allowed Victor and Carla to cook for them but Elena is still pointing her scepter at them to be sure that they aren't going to pull any tricks

"Elena, you need to relax they're just cooking" Varian intervened.

Elena put her broken arm across Varian to protect him.

"You have to be aware Varian they could strike at any moment"

"They don't look dangerous to me" said Varian.

"They're malvagos,that's what they want you to think." said Elena

Varian had a different towards the Delgados

"Elena look at them,you may see them as criminals but what I see is a father cooking with his daughter, embracing the time they have together as a family."

Elena can understand where Varian was coming from as a boy who cares for his dad.

While the Delgados were cooking Carla was crying when Victor was comforting her.

"What if we never get to make meal together again?"Carla said

Victor answered tenderheartedly

"Let us simply enjoy this one and treasure our memories of simpler times"

Song

Victor: I remember a simpler time

Before our path had turned to crime

Life was humble but true

You and I were all that we knew

Before the darkness of night

There was laughter and light

Carla: I remember those early years

Before our life was filled with tears

I knew my days of the week

By the dishes we'd eat

On Fridays we made feijoada

On Sundays it was enchilada

Victor and Carla: La vida It can be so strange

What you think you want can change

All the mistakes that have been made

Leave scars that will Never fade

And so for now let's just pretend

It's way back when

For one last meal let's just pretend It's way back when

(Talking)

Elena: I know that smell. Moqueca.

Victor: You always did have a great nose.

Carla : How would you know that?

Victor: I spent many days at the palace as a young boy.

Esteban, Princess Elena and I would play together in the garden.

Elena: Hide‐and‐seek. And then we would cook all afternoon.

Carla: You and Princess Elena? Friends?

Varian: You two must've have great times together

Victor:Once upon a time. Mm, delicious as always. ACHOO Although you still over‐pepper

All: La vida It can be so strange

What you think you know can change

All the mistakes That have been made

Leave scars that will Never fade

And so for now let's just pretend

It's way back when

For one last meal let's just pretend It's way back when

Varian: I wish I would've known that then.

Elena: Life was easier then

Carla: Could it be that way again?

Victor: One day it may come again

All: Like we were way back when

Questions:

How are Victor and Carla's redemption different from Varian's redemption?

Are there any similarities between the 3 of them?
