Krampmus Shenanigans

As much as Eda knew it was wrong to steal kids' Christmas presents, she just wanted to give Luz and King a good Krampmus each year since she couldn't afford to buy any.

Somhaim Tales of the Boiling Isles

The Big Damn Reunion between Luz and Camila in this timeline speaks volumes as Camila defends Luz and Amity from Baba Yaga armed with just a chanclá.

What If... Lilith raised Luz?

It may have been because of guilt but in this timeline, Lilith brought Luz to the castle after killing Camila and with Emperor Belos' approval (to which he reveals his face to her), she becomes Luz's adoptive mother.
Since Lilith brought Luz with her when she had to babysit the Blight children, Luz and Amity grew up together as Best Friends. Although their friendship becomes soured during Luz's first day of public school...
Seeing students and faculty ganging up on Luz, Principal Bump leads an army of abominations to clear them away to help her.
Willow and Gus check up on Luz; Willow thanks her for standing up to Boscha in her defense and Gus attempts to cheer her up by telling her how being a human isn't a bad thing. The two decide to take Luz to Gus' human artifact supplier so she can learn about her culture and to take her mind off what happened, promising they won't let anything happen to her. This is what leads Luz to meeting Eda, her aunt here, for the first time.

What If... Abigail raised Luz?

The point of divergence is that Eda gives up baby Luz to the orphanage. A few days later, Abigail and Frank arrive to pick up their goddaughter: as Abigail holds Luz in relief, she pats her belly and tells her unborn daughter Clara that she's going to have a big sister.

What If... Eda found Emily?

Whether she was obligated to do it or not, Eda gave Emily an elixir to alleviate her boiling pox before taking her home for further treatment. This would lead to her adopting the young illusionist, making her the middle child of the Clawthorne family and Luz's older sister.
