    Summary

    “I’m here because... I think my kid is having some kind of delusional breakdown because he can’t cope with the fact that ... Mayor Mills and I split up.”

    Dr. Hopper pushes his glasses up his nose in a measured movement. “What makes you think that?”

    “Well, among other things, he thinks his mother is about to cut Mary Margaret Blanchard’s heart out of her chest, before pulverizing it and sending her into a coma that only her true love can rescue her from.”

    [AU; here, 'fairy tale land' is merely a product of Henry's imagination during a difficult time.]

    Summary

    “You saw me drive in Barbieland,” Barbie argues. “I drove there every day.”
    Gloria shakes her head. “Your car didn’t have an engine—”
    “Your headlights were painted on,” Sasha says, making a face.
    “You didn’t have traffic rules and the right of way was based on whose nails were the sparkliest—”
    “Your car was powered by wishing.”
    “Fine, you made your point,” Barbie grumbles uncharacteristically. She crosses her arms and looks out the window. “I guess driving is a little different here.”

    Gloria teaches Barbie how to drive. Sucks that the irrepressible thoughts of death are at it again.

    Summary

    “Do you miss it?” Gloria asks. “Barbieland, I mean.”

    Barbie considers this, looking over at Gloria. She’s wearing a loose linen blouse today, long sleeves pushed back to the elbows, and her hair is blowing slightly in the breeze coming in through the open kitchen window. She looks like every other woman in the world: beautiful.

    “Yes,” Barbie says. “Sometimes. But I’d rather be here with you.”

    Summary

    The first bit of flower she coughs up is a yellow rose petal. 

    It’s horribly unfair, actually, because Wednesday hates roses and the sheer intensity of the yellow is enough that staring at it actually, physically hurts her eyes. She would have preferred dahlias—the black ones, naturally—but if it had to be a rose, couldn’t it have been the thorny portion? Or at least a red rose, so she could occasionally lift a handkerchief to her mouth and imagine what it would have been like to be a 19th-century spinster, coughing up spots of blood before an inevitable death by consumption?

    Oh, right. It also means she’s going to die.

    -

    In which Wednesday—despite her firm belief that it's impossible for someone like her—contracts hanahaki disease, and she and Enid learn what it means to define themselves on their own terms.

    Post-canon (S1), one-shot.
