   Summary

   You can see it now. Remedios Giraldo: botanist, anthropologist, explorer extraordinaire, and discoverer of magical towns made of candlelight.
   Yeah, right.
   ....

   In which Reader is a hapless explorer-type looking for Encanto, but has no idea what to do when she actually finds it. Except shack up with everyone's favourite Rat-Loving Man in the Walls, of course.

   Come for the Ratman, stay for the surprising amount of research I had to do to make a character sound smart.
