Future Seer

@futuresees plotted for a thing

This was not in the plan. Though, they didn’t really have much of a plan. The plan was keep it a secret. And it had worked so well for them the last few years. And it was fun, and it was special, it didn’t feel wrong, despite what other’s might have said, if they’d known. Sneaking out of her family home late at night to spend her evenings with him, it felt as if that was the way life was meant to be. And she would do it over and over again, as long as he was with her.

Aelina did not care if the whole town knew they were seeing each other, she said that from the beginning. But he wanted to keep it secret, to keep her reputation and good standing. How could she fight against that? He was so happy with the time they spent together. And she was happy just being with him. Was he going to be happy now? Or was it all ruined?

They never talked about a baby. Could they keep up with a secret love affair with a baby on the way? Or would everything have to change so suddenly. It didn’t matter how long they’ve been together, how in love they were. They were not married. And her reputation in town, it would be ruined as soon as they found out, far worse than being Bruno’s lover ever could have ruined her.

Aelina paced back and forth at their usual rendezvous, as she waited for him to show up. She was so nervous, she felt as if she was shaking with every step. “ Dios mío ! ” She had muttered to herself, cursing herself for not being more careful. Her gaze was cast to the ground, as she watched her feet. She was so good at keep track of everything… but she messed up.

She still wasn’t sure how she was going to tell him. She has known Bruno for so long, but she had no idea how he would react. She couldn’t see the future like him. Her head snapped up when she heard his steps coming near, his presence shook her out of her thoughts, if only for a moment. She didn’t smile when she saw him though, her nerves wouldn’t let her.

“ Bruno ! ” Seeing him usually made her feel better, but right now, the pit in her stomach just seemed to sink, and she felt worse. “ I… I … We NEED to talk…. ”

He didn't expect that, normally she lit up when she saw him. But her face looked anxious, had they been found out, what could they possibly have to talk about if they hadn't been discovered by her parents, or someone in town?

"What about?"

“Butterfly, follow the butterfly!” Oh there was hope after all, letting Mirabel drag him along after her. Bruno watched as the vision changed.

The candle came into view and Bruno’s heart stuttered at the sight of Mirabel and some other figure, but what were they doing?

“I think you’re going to help the candle!” Bruno said squeezing Mirabel’s hand.

She pulled her tío towards the butterfly. The wind pushing her hair back, and causing some resistance. But they pushed forward, following the bright butterfly, their sign of HOPE.

Mirabel tried to take in the changing visions, but she still had no idea how to decipher it all. As Bruno squeezed her had Mirabel felt grounded, yet still a little confused. “ The candle ? ” She needed more direction than that. At least now she knew that she could HELP.

“ HOW am I going to help the CANDLE ? ” Mira asked letting go of his hand as she took a step closer to the vision. She couldn’t help as her gaze fixated on the new images, of her and someone.

The vision did not make sense, who was the other person in the vision?

"Are you fighting her?" Bruno asked as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing.

No! Was that a hug?

"An embrace!" Mirabel was embracing a female figure, not fighting.

It was just the same as before, which is what Bruno had feared, except this time Mirabel was with him.

“It’s all the same, I need to stop.” He said, he didn’t want to see the worst, not for his Mirabel.

What if this didn’t play out well, would Mirabel turn her back on him, just like everyone else did? Bruno didn’t know if he could bear that after all he had been through.

This couldn’t be it. This could not be all it was. There HAD to be more to his vision. Mirabel couldn’t deal with the weight of Casita, and the miracle on her shoulders with no guidance. If she was going to save it, fix it all, she needed more. She couldn’t just settle with a the fact that she’d either DESTROY their family miracle or SAVE it. She needed more. Her brown eyes fixated on Bruno as he turned away. “ NO ! ” Mirabel exclaimed shaking her head at him. Her eyebrows knitted together in concern, as she got closer to Bruno. “ I NEED to know which way it goes. ” She pleaded, desperation clear in her voice.

She looked at the atmosphere around them as sand swirled and the VISIONS of their home crashing around them kept playing in enchanting greens. “ There’s gotta be answer. There has to be an ANSWER ! ” Mira could not give up. She had to push through. “ Maybe, maybe there is something we’re not SEEING … ” She trailed of as her eyes continued to hover and scan their surroundings. And then in the sea of green Mirabel saw something, that was a splash BRIGHT YELLOW.

Excitedly the teenager pointed towards it jumping on her feet. Trying to alert her uncle tío to it, she grabbed his hand gesturing in the direction of where she saw the yellow image. “ THERE ! ” A gentle smile grew on her lips, and desperation was replaced with HOPE. They could figure this out. He could help her save Casita and the miracle.

"Butterfly, follow the butterfly!" Oh there was hope after all, letting Mirabel drag him along after her. Bruno watched as the vision changed.

The candle came into view and Bruno's heart stuttered at the sight of Mirabel and some other figure, but what were they doing?

"I think you're going to help the candle!" Bruno said squeezing Mirabel's hand.

futuresees / Bruno

Nodding, Bruno lit the fire and fed some leaves into the flames, he hoped he could give Mirabel the vision she wanted, that for once in his life, his gift could help someone.

Taking a deep breath, as he tossed some salt over his shoulder, he held out his hands to Mirabel.

“You might want to hang on.”

Mirabel sat patiently watching Bruno. It was always so FASCINATING to watch her magical family use their gifts. Perhaps it was because of the beauty behind it all, or the fact that she never got her gift. She did not remember ever seeing her Tío Bruno use his gift. So this was all very new to the fifteen year old. The whole atmosphere in young Antonio’s room began to change as she watched her uncle do his ritual.

The air traveled against her skin, giving her the chills. She looked around the room for a moment feeling enchanted. And their her brown eyes were back on her Tío. His eyes glowed almost an emerald shade of GREEN. And Mirabel felt a sense of unease. Unable to place why the look seemed so familar to her if she had never seen him use his gift. The unease settled as he offered his hands out to her.

She took Bruno’s hands, grasping them tight as the sand began to surround them in a dome. She watched as images appeared in the sand that was blowing around them. She tried to make sense of the chaos and madness, giving Bruno’s hands a squeeze in her own. She didn’t quite know how to take in it all, hoping from some guidance from the older man to explain the vision that they were in the middle of.

It was just the same as before, which is what Bruno had feared, except this time Mirabel was with him.

"It's all the same, I need to stop." He said, he didn't want to see the worst, not for his Mirabel.

What if this didn't play out well, would Mirabel turn her back on him, just like everyone else did? Bruno didn't know if he could bear that after all he had been through.

Part of Agustin had been waiting for this from the moment Bruno had returned. It was inevitable after all. Of course Bruno would want to be back in Mirabel’s life, any father would, Agustin could understand that perfectly.

That didn’t mean the thought didn’t hurt though. He’d grown accustomed to thinking of her as his own. But what choice was there?

“Of course, hermano.”

Bruno checked around them to make sure Mirabel was nowhere in sight, he'd hate for her to over hear, this was not how he wanted her to find out the truth.

"I still need to speak to Julieta..." how to go about asking the only man Mirabel knew as a father, to reveal the best kept secret in the family?

"I want you to know that I am grateful, to you and Julieta for the love that you gave Mirabel. But, she needs to know the truth, about everything."

agustinmeanswell

Any half hope that maybe Bruno wanted to speak with him about something else was quickly extinguished, replaced with a low sadness. It was the right thing to do, he knew that, he really did.

“She...she does...”

How did you even go about telling someone that? That the people they’ve thought were their parents for the last ten years actually aren’t?

#agustinmeanswell #⌛｡✧﹡｡╰‘𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 › au

"I don't want to take her away from you." Bruno rushed to reassure, he didn't expect to become Papá again. If this didn't go well, if Mirabel rejected him completely, then Bruno had already promised himself that he'd move out of casita so that Mirabel would never have to see him again.

"You and Julieta are her Mamá and Papá, always will be. I just... she deserves to know, about me and her first Mamá. That we loved her, and that she was so wanted."

@agustinmeanswell liked a thing on the wishlist, and gets a thing!

Bruno fidgeted nervously. He had known when he had "left" what that would mean, what he was giving up.

But now things were different, he was back in Mirabel's life, and he wanted to share the truth with her. So he approached his brother-in-law first.

"Agustín, do you have a minute?"

Julieta can’t help but laugh, a smile tugging at her lips as she watches Bruno, bucket on his head, helping put the house back together. She steps away from her own work, walking towards him. Carefully, she puts a hand on his shoulder, “Hermano ? ”

#dosesca #⌛｡✧﹡｡╰‘𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 › canon

Bruno jumped, he was still not used to being back with the family, and after so long alone being touched suddenly was a little jarring. Removing the bucket on his head, Bruno turned to his sister and smiled.

"Julieta, hi, is there something you need?"

futuresees / Bruno

“You can’t hurry the future.” Bruno explained as he made a circle out of the sand.

Once that was done, he built a little fire and sat down with Mirabel within the circle.

“Now, are you sure you want me to do this?” Bruno asked fidgeting nervously. It had been so long since he’d used his gift, and what if what he saw was worse than before.

What if he hurt Mirabel?

“Because if your not sure, we’ll find another way.”

“ Well lucky for the FUTURE I am used to be patient and waiting. ” Mirabel joked as she watched the older Madrigal make a circle out of the sand. She sat down with Bruno, watching him build the little fire.

“ I have to be sure. You see casita, you’ve been patching up the holes. I don’t know if we have to TIME to find another way. ” Mirabel joked as she watch the older Madrigal make a circle out of the sand. She sat down with Bruno, watching him build the fires. “ I have to do this. We can do this. ” She gave him a soft smile as she pushed some of her hair back by her ear.

Nodding, Bruno lit the fire and fed some leaves into the flames, he hoped he could give Mirabel the vision she wanted, that for once in his life, his gift could help someone.

Taking a deep breath, as he tossed some salt over his shoulder, he held out his hands to Mirabel.

For the Meta thing Mirabel’s mom in the papa Bruno Au.- Anonymous

Okay, so I tend to prefer leaving Mirabel's bio mom in this AU a mystery that way me and my partner can develop the story to what we want it to be. But I'll give you some key points.

Mirabel's bio mom (or first mom if you prefer) passed away due to complications of giving birth to Mirabel, leaving Bruno a single father of a newborn.

She grew up in the Encanto and knew Bruno from childhood.

They didn't tell anyone they were seeing each other because Bruno was afraid his bad reputation would ostracize Mirabel's mom. So no one knew that they were together, or that Mirabel's mom was pregnant.

Bruno had every intention on marrying her, but they never got to that point.

futuresees / Bruno

The affection after ten years, stunned him, but he followed after Mirabel and Antonio, sneaking out into the main house and going to Antonio’s room, he’d heard the people at Antonio’s ceremony talking about how big the room was, but it still amazed him.

“Alright, I need sand, and an open space, as well as wood for a fire.” Bruno said looking around at the space.

“ I think Antonio and I can handle that ! ” Mirabel exclaimed before turning to her youngest cousin. “ Right, Toñito ? ” Mirabel’s question fell flat as she watched her cousin use his gift. His animal friends were already starting to bring the items their Tío needed. “ Or maybe just Antonio …” Mirabel commented with a shrug.

As the animals brought them what they needed. Antonio left the both Mirabel and Bruno in his room to do the rituals necessary for Bruno to use his gift.

“ So, ” Despite the animals that surrounded them, Mirabel could not help but feel like their was awkward silence around them. “ is there anyway I can HELP you set this up ? ” Leave it to her to try and find everyway she could be USEFUL. But then Casita shook, leaving unease with the room and the animals that surrounded the two Madrigals. “ Or is this anyway we can HURRY this up ? Haha. ” She asked with nervous laughter.

futuresees / Bruno

“W-We did spend a lot of time together, I didn’t think you’d remember.” She’d been so little then, surely after he left all memories of him had been forgotten. But that memory of Bruno making her laugh and smile had survived somehow.

It still hurt to hear her call him her Tío. But to know that his daughter remembered him fondly, warmed his heart.

And then his sobrino Antonio appeared offering his room as a space for Bruno to look into the future. There was so much hope in Mirabel’s eyes.

He paused for a moment and just looked at his daughter, once she had been so small, he could still remember how afraid he was as he carried her home that first night, he didn’t know how to be a father, he wasn’t married, and with her birth mother dead and gone, he was all alone. But now she was no longer that tiny, fragile baby, but a strong young woman.

dios mío when did she get so tall?

“Alright.” He finally agreed, he’d do it for his Mirabel, his miracle.

“But only this once.”

“ AH! ” Mirabel let out a JOYOUS laugh as her uncle finally agreed! “ ONCE is all we need ! ” She beamed standing up, and twirling around in the area between the walls. She made her way over to Bruno before placing a kiss on his cheek out of gratitude.

“ Gracias ! Gracias, Tío Bruno ! ” She placed another kiss to his cheek before wrapping her arms around him for a quick hug. “ I am so PROUD of you ! ” She said pulling away, and heading towards the exit of the home he had made for himself in the walls of Casita. Mirabel gave Bruno a BRIGHT smile grabbing her Tío’s hand. She was excited to follow her youngest cousin, and lead Bruno to his room so that he will giver her a vision. She was READY for her prophecy! She was ready to SAVE the miracle, she was not going to hurt her family. And eventually, eventually she will make them PROUD.

“ Let’s go save the miracle ! ”

The affection after ten years, stunned him, but he followed after Mirabel and Antonio, sneaking out into the main house and going to Antonio's room, he'd heard the people at Antonio's ceremony talking about how big the room was, but it still amazed him.

"Alright, I need sand, and an open space, as well as wood for a fire." Bruno said looking around at the space.

“I don’t use my gift, it’s caused too many problems,” Bruno said. He couldn’t hurt Mirabel that way, the way he hurt Pepa and the villagers.

“Besides, if I see something you don’t like, you’ll think what everyone else thinks. ‘Oh, Bruno’s creepy, he makes bad things happen and he killed my gold fish!’” That had been a whole mess and a half.

“And anyway, someone broke into my tower and destroyed my room, and I need a big open space to see the future.”

“ I don’t think you do bad things, Tío Bruno. ” Mirabel shook her head. “ I do not remember much about you, but before you left, before my ceremony, I remember how you would make me laugh and how you would make me SMILE. We used to spend a lot of time together when I was younger didn’t we ? ” She asked, before shaking her head. “ Nothing you show me would make me think that you are CREEPY or bad, I know that you are GOOD. ”

She felt hopeless when he mentioned that he needed an open space. “ I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to destroy your room. I just want to save the MAGIC. I want to be useful. ” Though, his room was the WORST. And he hadn’t been using it anyway. She still felt bad though.

“ If the fate of the family rests on me, I want to make sure I don’t mess up. I want to set myself on the RIGHT path. ” Mirabel shook her head. If they did not have a space to use his gift, then she would be stuck.. There would be no progress, and the family would likely fear for the day she took the miracle, casita, and the encanto away from them.

And then HOPE showed itself, in her little cousin Antonio and his animal friends showing up to offer up his room. Mira’s head wiped to Bruno. “ Tío Bruno, will you do it ? ”

"W-We did spend a lot of time together, I didn't think you'd remember." She'd been so little then, surely after he left all memories of him had been forgotten. But that memory of Bruno making her laugh and smile had survived somehow.

It still hurt to hear her call him her Tío. But to know that his daughter remembered him fondly, warmed his heart.
