To those of you who didn't know, Valentino is @lintushadow.art 's OC
So In this AU, Alora Luna is a city girl who came to the village of Encanto to study the origin of their miracle. She's the daughter of an anthropologist and scientist.
She always seems to be so prim and proper or even innocent to the public eye, but could actually be feisty and fierce when challenged🤣 She grew up with 3 brothers and was raised by their father.
Both Camilo and Valentino are unaware of Alora's "dark side"🤣 She can beat their a*s at football/soccer😂
- Because of his future vision he'll often see bits of pop culture that no one has heard of before. So he'll often make a joke referencing that part of pop culture laugh to himself for a minute and then remember no one else got his joke
- isa is a asexual lesbian that uses she/him pronouns cause why not?
- When pepa and felix started dating pepa always referred to bruno as her "little brother" so felix was always imagining like a 10 year old. When invited over to meet her family he had gotten a surprise toy because he thought bruno was like a kid and was very shocked to see a grown ass man who he then found out was only 3 minutes younger then pepa
- Felix side of the family absolutely adores pepa family and thinks the magic they have is super cool. While augstin side of the family is very jealous of julieta and her families magic
- Mirabel is pedro reincarnated
- Dolores really enjoys silent movies since she can just not listen and still know what happening
- Mirabel can look at someone do something once and be able to do it herself with relative ease (she can just basically pick up most skills with very little effort)
- Camilo is a picky eater so he often just eats a bunch of like one thing at meals to the point there's none for anyone else
-Luisa is lactose intolerant
- When julieta and agustin first started dating bruno didn't like him but now hes probably one of bruno's favorite people to talk to
- One time pepa insulted bruno and instead of getting upset he just looked in to her eyes and was like "October 3rd". Pepa freaked out after that thinking she was gonna die but it was actually the day she was going to meet felix
- Felix and Augustin where both born and raised outside of encanto and moved there later in life
-Since encanto is so isolated most of the family only knows what going on in the world through bruno's predictions
- isa favorite sweets are chocolates
- Mirabel absolutely loves rock candies, she has almost thrown up because she got a bunch for her birthday and ate them all at once

Summary: Bruno's attention is caught one day by the woman telling stories to the town children.
Bruno madrigal x female!reader
1.1k words
-
It wasn’t unusual to see groups of children running around while the grown-ups were working on fixing la casa Madrigal. Sometimes they tried to help, sometimes they would just be playing some sort of game.
It was unusual to see such a large group of them, and even more unusual to see them all sitting still.
That’s what caught Bruno’s attention.
Everyone around him were busying themselves with one thing or another. He himself had only just finished a job, but no one seemed to find the sight interesting or out of place. It was just him, then. That was fine, he would just go over and see what they were up to, make sure they weren’t causing any trouble.
The children didn’t notice him walking over, far too occupied with, apparently, the story they were being told. Because in the center of the throng was a woman, adamantly telling a fascinating story about some sort of creature that slithered through the trees of the jungle, longing to be like the humans it saw in the village. This, of course, included plenty of hand motions and voice changes. It was a captivating performance.
Captivating enough to keep his attention, at least. And the attention of two dozen or so children.
He ended up hovering nearby, too focused on the story she was weaving to notice as time passed them by until the sun was getting low in the sky, painting everything in a golden light. It was only then that the woman pushed the hood off her head, to the dismay of the children around her. They groaned and whined but she just smiled a dazzling smile.
“Sorry, everybody, that’s all from Sophianna the Storyteller today. I really do need to get back to work.”
“Will Sophianna come back tomorrow?” One little girl asked, big brown eyes pleading.
“We’ll see, niña. Maybe if you lot leave me be so I can work through the morning she can come back after lunch.”
There was a cheer from some of the kids as they all ran off, back to wherever they had come from. Once they were out of sight the woman sighed, leaning back against the tree behind her. She looked tired, Bruno realized.
“Hey…” The woman looked up at his voice, slowly blinking at him before managing to put a smile on her face.
“Ah, hola! You’re … Bruno Madrigal, right?”
He nodded, managing not to wince. He had hoped she wouldn’t have heard about him.
“Um, I really enjoyed your story. You’re an excellent storyteller.”
Her smile brightened a bit at the praise, less forced and more genuine.
“Gracias! I appreciate that! How long have you been listening?” She motioned for him to sit next to her. He hesitated, but it would be rude to refuse, so he did eventually sit down in the grass next to her, looking out over the building sight. They were starting to finish up for the day, people leaving as the last jobs were completed.
“Long enough. “ He finally said with a shrug, fidgeting with the frayed edge of his ruana. “I’m just - I was wondering. How does that story end?”
He heard a snicker from the woman and looked over to see the corner of her eyes crinkle slightly as she smiled.
“I couldn’t tell you. I was making it up as I went.”
He stared at her slack jawed, eyes wide with surprise and amazement. That just made her snicker more.
“You’re kidding?!” She shook her head. “¡Eso es increíble! I would never have been able to tell!”
Her smile was one of the most beautiful he had ever seen.
“Oh, stop! It’s not that impressive.” She tried to wave him off.
“You’re just being humble.” He said with a chuckle, unable to keep his eyes off her. The golden light of the setting sun shining off her hair made it look like she had a halo around her head. The image was like one of those old oil paintings of goddesses or legendary beauties.
“Tío Bruno!” The moment was interrupted by the shout, both of them looking up to see Mirabel running over. “Oh, buenos noches, Señora Y/N! I didn’t know you were here!”
Bruno frowned, confused a bit by how the two knew each other, but his head turned back to the woman, Y/N, when she spoke.
“I thought I’d try and help today, but I’m afraid I got a bit distracted.” She admitted with a sheepish grin that made her eyes twinkle. “The children insisted Sophianna make an appearance, and who am I to say no?”
Mirabel laughed, clearly amused by the woman’s situation.
“Oh!” She said, noticing her poor uncle’s confused expression as he watched them. “Y/N was my teacher when I was younger! She’s always been the best story teller! She could give you a run for your money.” She said the last part with a mischievous smirk.
“Oh, you like telling stories, too?”
Those eyes were suddenly on him and he felt his face heat up a little with the smile that tugged on his lips. He shrugged.
“Yeah, sometimes. Can’t say I’m as good as you, though.”
“You sure?” She was smirking, too, now. The look in her eyes did something to him, his heart flipping in his chest. “You’re not just being humble, now, are you?”
“Ah, well - you see-”
“He is.” Mirabel interrupted him, causing the man to splutter and trip over his words. That just made Y/N laugh, loud and proper. He was sure his heart would stop beating at that sound, so warm and hearty and perfect. He couldn’t stop the chuckle from slipping out.
“Well, maybe we can share stories sometime!”
“I - yeah! That would be great!” He managed to get out without embarrassing himself further.
She smiled at him again before forcing herself to her feet, brushing the dirt off his skirts. He got up with her, just a bit too fast.
“Well, I feel like I’m about to fall asleep on my feet! I’d better get home, but I’ll see you two tomorrow!”
Bruno nodded, watching her go while Mirabel shouted a goodbye after her. For a moment, neither said anything.
“Soooo …” Mirabel broke the silence, looking at her uncle with a glint in her eyes. “You two looked like you were getting along.”
“Don’t.” Bruno huffed, a fond smile tugging at his lips. He aggressively messed up the girl’s hair until she was giggling and her glasses were askew. “What did you need me for?”
“Right! Mamí wants your help with dinner!”
He let the girl drag him off, listening to her talk but not really processing what she was saying. He was too busy thinking about other things, like what he would say when he next saw Y/N.
You stayed being roommates with Mirabel for the night, tho you couldn't help but feel as if they're rather cautious of you.As you lay down on the bed you look up the ceiling sighing,then look at Mirabel from the other side of the room.
“Celìo...where are you.”You muttered quietly as you close your eyes trying to sleep without being worried.
Meanwhile somewhere far away from Encanto, a certain shadow was lurking around, looking for his way into his destination he wants to reach.
“I'm much faster at night...It's also not much help when I'm being chased.”The young boy said,his hood covering his identity as he ran, being chased by some people.
“GET BACK HERE!”One of the guard yelled as he tried to reach for the boy who took a turn.
“Wait for me Sis.”The boy muttered trying to outrun the people that's chasing him.As he took another turn one of the guards stop him cornering him which made him click his tounge.
“It's over for you..kid.Just come with us, we'd like to question you.”One of the guards stated as he tried to approach the boy.
“Not unless you can't see me.”The boy said as he slowly back away, being one with the shadows which caught the guards off.
You woke up and sat straight up from the bed, to see Mirabel waking up next.Once she had her glasses on she looks at you with a kind smile in which you returned.
“Buenos dìas Y/n!”Mirabel gretted happily.
“Buenos dìas Mirabel.”You politely greeted back,as you both got up from your beds.
“So do you have any clothes with you?If you don't you can borrow mine!”Mirabel stated as you grab one of your twins choices.
“If you don't mind me asking but...is this a good choice for me to wear?”You ask politely as you showed him the dress you've decided to pick
“Woah.”Mirabel said as she looked at the dress up and down.
“Yea, it's really cute!”Mirabel stated as you nodded.After a few minutes you put your hair in a neat bun with Mirabel's help.You both went down as you help her set up, as she wakes up the others.The way you set up the table was rather the way you would see the maids set up the table back in your kingdom.
“Y/n help me set up the table.”Mirabel stated as you smiled kindly at her familia who were amused and greeted you as you greet them back politely.
“Another day for la familia Madrigal to help, I do expect everyone to help the town as always.”Abuela Alma stated in her usual calm voice as you couldn't help but feel lonely.
‘It's been 2 days...I wonder what's happening back at the palace.’You wondered as you ate silently thinking about your twin brother who said that will follow after he saw the chaos back at the castle.
After eating you and ‘Mirabel’ were going to do the dishes, but as you grab the sponge you stop.
‘Wait....I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WASH THE DISHES?!’You thought as you panic, you look at ‘Mirabel’ who was cleaning the table then look back at the dishes then back at her and then back at the dishes then back at her again.
“Um...Mirabel...Please don't question me further but..how does one do..um..do the dishes?..”You ask rather hesitant as ‘Mirabel’ look at you then shape shift back into...Mirabel's cousin as you recall his name as...Camel..Carlos?no wait...Camilo.Yup.He just laugh as he approach you.
“I honestly don't believe you can't do the dishes, but with that type of expression I guess I'll believe this one.”Camilo shrugged as you slightly scratched your nape in embarrassment.
“Yea...Apologies about that...I wasn't really one to do chores..”You admitted as Camilo look at you amused.
“You don't do chores?”Camilo ask in shock.
“Well..when it comes to household chores...I suppose you can say I don't??..”Your statement can out more of a question, slightly playing with the hem of your sleeve.
“Really?That's kinda shocking.”Camilo said amused, while washing the dishes.
“It is?”You ask amused slightly tilting your head.
“But anyways, if you don't mind me asking what exactly are you?”Camilo ask which made your eyes widen as your heart beat started beating nervously.
“W-what ever do you mean by that?I'm just a normal person!”You stuttered defensively.As Camilo rose an eye brow at your nervous state.
“You sure you're not magical or something?”Camilo ask as you averted eye contact.
“What exactly makes you inquire such a question?”You ask averting eye contacts.
“My Prima's gift didn't work on you,when she carried you.”He stated as you but you chew the inside of your cheek.
“I see...well I don't have the answers as to why your Prima's gift did not wok on me.”You lied,in all honesty you knew exactly why Luisa's gift didnt work on you.Camilo responded with a hum.
“I see..but since you're free right now, you're gonna help me do chores in town...if you know how to babysit.”Camilo stated as you perk.
“I know how to babysit!”You claimed exitedly as he laughed and walked while you followed him from behind.
➷
Camilo watches in amusement as you tell the kids stories about fairytale or something he too would find interesting.The whole babysitting was you telling the kids(Also him) stories.After their guardians went to pick them up, the kids ask if you could tell them some more stories when you babysit again which you happily agreed.
“I didn't know you're a good babysitter,Hermosa.”Camilo stated as you smiled, as if you won something.
“Mhm!I honestly didn't have time telling stories to kids, back from where I came from.”You admitted as Camilo look at you suspiciously but also amused.
“Really?So you've never babysit before?”He ask amused,as the two of you walk together back at Casita.
“Oh I have!Of course if my parents guest have younger kids, then I'm task with playing with them!”You admitted as your eyes widen from the realization of you mentioning your parents.Camilo on the other hand proudly smiled now he can ask more about you so he can figure out why his Tio and Prima's gift didn't work on you.
“Speaking of your parents, where are they anyways?”Camilo ask as you started panicking and look ahead and started thinking of an excuse.
“Dead.”You said what was the first thing that came in your mind, which made Camilo feel as if he was hit in the stomach mentally.
“I'm sorry..I'm sure your parents were lovely.”Camilo said guilty which also made you feel guilty.
“Yea..they were, there's no need to apologize you didn't know.”You said kindly smiling at him.The walk with him was slightly awkward after the mention of your parents ‘Death’.Alas the two of you were back at the Casita, not being able to handle the awkward tension between you, you were about to go upstairs and ask Mirabel about their gifts on how it was produce.
“Um Hermosa...about earlier..I'd like to apologize again.”Camilo said which made you guilty as ever, YOU.NEVER.LIE.ABOUT.YOUR.PARENTS.
“I-it's fine, honestly that's how life is right?The unexpected happens!”You said waving his apology off which made Camilo slightly frown but never less let you went to you and his Prima's room.The whole night was him thinking about how to make it up to you, for asking such a question and as for you, you were thinking about your twin brother and his arrival.
Anyways This is long I suppose,I hope you enjoyed<3 There's a chance the next part will be late because...School work..yay.....But anyways stay safe!Also Celìo's part might be on the next part dunno really even tho I'm the author I'm not sure if Celìo's gonna take part in the next part.(´ε｀*)
