Juliantina Appreciation Week - Day 7 (Sunday, May 17) - Free Day
Another AU idea that has been sitting in my drafts since forever. Please forgive the formatting/structure, especially the flashback part, but I thought it was better to post it like it was rather than let it languish in my folder forever because I couldn’t figure things out as much as I wished.
Happy last day of @juliantinaappreciationweek
As an assignment for her school Juliana had to create a YouTube channel with some videos. She ended up doing some cooking videos because she couldn’t really afford to do something extravagant and in this way she could do her homework and also have something ready for herself and then her mom to eat once she came back from work. They were usual easy or quick recipes on a budget, but she found out that she actually enjoyed it.
Then her dad got arrested and executed and she and her mom fled to Mexico City because while Chino didn’t resurrect, Alacràn thought they knew where he hid the money and the USB. She had other things to think about.
Juliana and Valentina meet like in the show. Valentina is still in a critical moment because someone tried to kill her dad on his wedding day and she had to see him in a pool of blood and she is traumatized, but Lucho is even less comprehensive than on the show because Leon is still alive, and the rest of the family is dealing with the attempted murder, her dad’s recovery and the company.
Albeit slightly different than on the show, Juliana, especially, still goes through a lot of stuff. Once everything is over, Valentina tries to convince her to see someone to deal with everything that happened to her. After some discussions, including over money matters (they might be out of danger, but Juliana and Lupita still aren’t swimming in money, and Juliana won’t accept Panchito’s money because he has three children and a soon-to-be ex-wife to take care of…and she certainly doesn’t want Valentina to pay her therapy), they settle on Juliana talking to Camilo.
It’s upon his suggestion that Juliana starts the videos again. Just like before, she puts the phone in front of herself and she records herself cooking. Her easy and cheap recipes combined with the occasional traditional Mexican dish, often simplified, gain her some followers. Not that she particularly cares, because she is doing it for herself. Her videos are also not particularly polished or edited. She is cooking in the kitchen of her and her mom’s apartment, so often you can hear doors closing, people moving around, someone talking, even to Juliana if they hadn’t realized she is filming.
