''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/46707085/chapters/117634294 Found in the Boiling Isles: Luz's Unusual Upbringing]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' fanfic written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Shadowsnake89/pseuds/Shadowsnake89 Shadowsnake89]] and [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Shape_Shifter_00002/pseuds/Shape_Shifter_00002 Shape_Shifter_00002]].
While traveling home a witch encounters a horrific sight. From the incident, he brings home an infant, orphaned and in need of care. A human infant. Despite already having one on the way, he and his partner decide to keep the child and raise her in spite of the odd circumstances. Take a journey with the family as this human girl grows up believing she is something wholly different from what she is and becomes a successful and powerful witch in her own right.
!!''Found in the Boiling Isles: Luz's Unusual Upbringing'' contains examples of:
* AdaptationalBadass:
** This version of Luz becomes more knowledgeable with potion magic after years of research, and can use other kinds of magic thanks to her L-Pills.
** Outside of an interest in fortune telling, Masha never used any magic in canon, but in this fic, she managed to discover several glyphs on the Boiling Isles.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Boscha, Amity, Willow, Derwin, Bria, Adrian, Vitimir, Darius, Angmar, and Kikimora all appear earlier than they did in canon.
* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: [[spoiler:Masha was non-binary in canon, but in this fic, she uses female pronouns]].
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Luz is a genius who has made all kinds of unique magical creations to make up for her lack of a bile sac.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Luz is much more bitter to the people she doesn’t like to the point where her mindscape has an entire subsection dedicated to all the people who “cause her stress and anger”.
* AdaptationalJobChange: Kikimora lost her job at the Emperor’s Coven prior to the events of the fic, so she became Hexside’s janitor. After saving Luz from one of Gene’s schemes, Daphne gives her a job as her personal secretary.
* AdaptationalNameChange: While Luz still has the same name as in canon, her full name is now Lusine.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
** While still somewhat arrogant, Boscha is nowhere near as egotistical or vicious as she was in canon.
** Adrian Graye was a BadBoss and one of the least sympathetic Coven Heads in the show, but here, he gets more depth and tries to be a better teacher to his apprentice.
** Kikimora is much less power-hungry than she was in canon.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: While still arrogant and boastful like in canon, Boscha isn’t nearly as much of a bully.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul:
** In canon, Boscha was constantly dismissive of Luz for being human, but thanks to being sisters, the two are very loyal to each other and only bicker occasionally.
** Luz becomes friends with Willow, Gus, and Amity much earlier than in canon.
** On a related note, Willow and Amity never truly end their friendship thanks to Luz.
** Because she was raised in the Boiling Isles, Luz never met Eda, King, or Hooty. Instead, [[spoiler:Masha]] becomes Eda’s apprentice.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Instead of the glyphs, Luz utilizes one of her inventions, the L-Pills, which give her all kinds of magical abilities in spite of lacking a bile sac.
* AdaptationalWimp: Because she lost her job at the Emperor’s Coven, Kikimora has to wear an anklet that restricts the use of her magic.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Boscha secretly sees Amity and Willow as this when it comes to grudgby.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Boscha is hinted to have feelings for Willow, but when she pretends to confess her feelings as part of a distraction, she almost blurts out Angmar’s name instead.
* AscendedExtra: Boscha, Vitimir, Adrian, Kikimora, and [[spoiler:Masha]] all get more focus in this fic.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Luz has shades of this. WordOfGod says it’s because of [[MustHaveCaffeine how much bitter bean blood she drinks]] coupled with her time in the Potions Coven giving her the impression that she always has to be working on something.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Coffee is referred to as “bitter bean blood” in this fic.
* CassandraTruth: Gene believes that Luz is a human, but nobody else thinks he’s right.
* CynicalMentor: Adrian Graye is this, though it’s [[PlayingWithATrope Played With]] in that he is aware that he’s a terrible mentor, and one who didn’t even want to take on an apprentice at that. After being called out for his attitude by Darius, Adrian decides to start teaching Bonnie, his apprentice, in a way that plays to his strengths as a director with a flare for the dramatic instead of acting as a traditional teacher.
* DeathByAdaptation: Camila is killed in a car crash prior to the events of this fic.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Ever since they were kids, Skara has been interested in touching Luz’s ears. When Boscha takes Skara to her house, it turns out that even after the gala where Luz finally let Skara touch her ears, Luz forgot to deactivate the security system that conjured up ''dozens of kunai'' as a defense in the event that Skara goes near Luz’s room.
-->'''Skara:''' ''(tearing up)'' You were going to skewer me... Just for touching your ears?
-->'''Luz:''' ''(shrugs)'' [[ComedicSociopathy I mean... only if you didn’t stop]].
* FlashbackBPlot: “The Anniversary” has one of these, focusing on [[HowDadMetMom how Daphne met Larry]].
* ForWantOfANail:
** Because she met Amity and Willow when they were kids, Luz was able to help resolve the situation that forced Amity to end her friendship with Willow. As a result, Willow shares the role of captain of the Banshees with Amity.
** Luz has already joined the Potions Coven.
** Kikimora loses her job at the Emperor’s Coven, so she never antagonizes Luz like she did in canon.
** Instead of Willow’s memories getting burnt thanks to Amity attempting to destroy one of them, Luz’s memories are burnt by Gene in an attempt to learn the recipe for bitter bean blood, so he and Boscha are the ones who have to fix Luz’s mindscape.
** One of the biggest changes is that [[spoiler:''Masha'']] is the human who discovers the Boiling Isles and becomes Eda’s apprentice in this fic.
* ForgottenAnniversary: Chapter 10, aptly titled “The Anniversary”, focuses on Larry forgetting his and Daphne’s anniversary.
* TheGhost:
** For the first seven chapters, Eda and Hooty are nowhere to be seen, outside of the occasional mention.
** Despite being Luz and Willow’s friend, Gus has yet to make a physical appearance.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:Masha has gone on several adventures as Eda’s apprentice, even tangling with the Golden Guard a few times]].

* NoodleIncident: Apparently, Luz stole some lucky charms from a group of leprechauns in the past.

* RunningGag: Skara’s obsession with touching Luz’s ears.
* SeriousBusiness: One of Luz’s many inventions is “bitter bean blood”, AKA coffee, which is very popular among the adults of the Boiling Isles, though the recipe is top secret. Gene’s main plan in the fic is to steal the recipe, make his own improvements, and become the top student at school.

----
While traveling home a witch encounters a horrific sight. From the incident, he brings home an infant, orphaned and in need of care. A human infant. Despite already having one on the way, he and his partner decide to keep the child and raise her in spite of the odd circumstances. Take a journey with the family as this human girl grows up believing she is something wholly different from what she is and becomes a successful and powerful witch in her own right.
!!''Found in the Boiling Isles: Luz's Unusual Upbringing'' contains examples of:
* AdaptationalBadass:
** This version of Luz becomes more knowledgeable with potion magic after years of research, and can use other kinds of magic thanks to her L-Pills.
** Outside of an interest in fortune telling, Masha never used any magic in canon, but in this fic, she managed to discover several glyphs on the Boiling Isles.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Boscha, Amity, Willow, Derwin, Bria, Adrian, Vitimir, Darius, Angmar, and Kikimora all appear earlier than they did in canon.
* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: [[spoiler:Masha was non-binary in canon, but in this fic, she uses female pronouns]].
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Luz is a genius who has made all kinds of unique magical creations to make up for her lack of a bile sac.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Luz is much more bitter to the people she doesn’t like to the point where her mindscape has an entire subsection dedicated to all the people who “cause her stress and anger”.
* AdaptationalJobChange: Kikimora lost her job at the Emperor’s Coven prior to the events of the fic, so she became Hexside’s janitor. After saving Luz from one of Gene’s schemes, Daphne gives her a job as her personal secretary.
* AdaptationalNameChange: While Luz still has the same name as in canon, her full name is now Lusine.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
** While still somewhat arrogant, Boscha is nowhere near as egotistical or vicious as she was in canon.
** Adrian Graye was a BadBoss and one of the least sympathetic Coven Heads in the show, but here, he gets more depth and tries to be a better teacher to his apprentice.
** Kikimora is much less power-hungry than she was in canon.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: While still arrogant and boastful like in canon, Boscha isn’t nearly as much of a bully.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul:
** In canon, Boscha was constantly dismissive of Luz for being human, but thanks to being sisters, the two are very loyal to each other and only bicker occasionally.
** Luz becomes friends with Willow, Gus, and Amity much earlier than in canon.
** On a related note, Willow and Amity never truly end their friendship thanks to Luz.
** Because she was raised in the Boiling Isles, Luz never met Eda, King, or Hooty. Instead, [[spoiler:Masha]] becomes Eda’s apprentice.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Instead of the glyphs, Luz utilizes one of her inventions, the L-Pills, which give her all kinds of magical abilities in spite of lacking a bile sac.
* AdaptationalWimp: Because she lost her job at the Emperor’s Coven, Kikimora has to wear an anklet that restricts the use of her magic.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Boscha secretly sees Amity and Willow as this when it comes to grudgby.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Boscha is hinted to have feelings for Willow, but when she pretends to confess her feelings as part of a distraction, she almost blurts out Angmar’s name instead.
* AscendedExtra: Boscha, Vitimir, Adrian, Kikimora, and [[spoiler:Masha]] all get more focus in this fic.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Luz has shades of this. WordOfGod says it’s because of [[MustHaveCaffeine how much bitter bean blood she drinks]] coupled with her time in the Potions Coven giving her the impression that she always has to be working on something.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Coffee is referred to as “bitter bean blood” in this fic.
* CassandraTruth: Gene believes that Luz is a human, but nobody else thinks he’s right.
* CynicalMentor: Adrian Graye is this, though it’s [[PlayingWithATrope Played With]] in that he is aware that he’s a terrible mentor, and one who didn’t even want to take on an apprentice at that. After being called out for his attitude by Darius, Adrian decides to start teaching Bonnie, his apprentice, in a way that plays to his strengths as a director with a flare for the dramatic instead of acting as a traditional teacher.
* DeathByAdaptation: Camila is killed in a car crash prior to the events of this fic.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Ever since they were kids, Skara has been interested in touching Luz’s ears. When Boscha takes Skara to her house, it turns out that even after the gala where Luz finally let Skara touch her ears, Luz forgot to deactivate the security system that conjured up ''dozens of kunai'' as a defense in the event that Skara goes near Luz’s room.
-->'''Skara:''' ''(tearing up)'' You were going to skewer me... Just for touching your ears?
-->'''Luz:''' ''(shrugs)'' [[ComedicSociopathy I mean... only if you didn’t stop]].
* FlashbackBPlot: “The Anniversary” has one of these, focusing on [[HowDadMetMom how Daphne met Larry]].
