I don’t know if this has been done before, but...for the first week of the “We don't talk about June challenge” by @wdtajn have a little redraw of the Barbie meme :)
“What happened?” you may ask - well, Bruno and his family wanted to go on vacation, but Bruno got caught trying to smuggle all of his probably 100+ rats onto the plane. He tried to disguise them, but unfortunately it didn’t work LOL

After ten years creeping around his family's edges, seeing but being unseen, Bruno felt like someone had turned a spotlight on him.
That would have been- well, it would have been nightmarish, but tolerable, because it was also a dream come true. Except it wasn't only his family.

This is a call to all of you amazing writers. Please make one-shots. Please make beautiful, beautiful drabbles. The potential. THE POTENTIAL.

El Ratón Pérez
Written for @usedtobeguest123's #El Ratoncito Pérez prompt! The toothfairy in Colombia is a mouse (or rat, in this case). Antonio has some thoughts to address with Bruno about this story.
----------------------------------------------------
“We have a big problem.”
Antonio’s serious voice is not what Bruno is expecting during his reading time. Then again, reading time involves lying in a hammock, eyes closed, with a book tented on his chest. Not napping. Just resting.
It takes a long moment for Bruno to peel his eyes open from his…rest and focus on Antonio.
The little boy waits patiently, rocking back and forth on his heels.
“Toñito? Something wrong?” Bruno clears his throat and blinks a few more times, trying to kickstart his brain.
“Something is very wrong!”
This incites action, the tone penetrating through the last vestiges of sleep. Bruno swings his legs out of the hammock to the cool tiles, leaning forward to examine his youngest sobrino. “Are you hurt?”
“Nu-uh. But I heard a bad thing in town.” Antonio’s eyes are wide.
Miércoles. What could he be asking about? Something about Bruno’s visions? Something not fit for the ears of a five-year-old? What if he asked about…adult relationships? Ay, he didn’t want to have to explain it. Antonio should go to Pepa, or Félix or…anyone but him.
“What did you—hear?” It comes out strained and Bruno swallows hard. Dread mounts with every second Antonio doesn’t respond.
“Gabrio said el ratón Pérez isn’t real!” The statement is incongruous with the seriousness of the delivery.
After the immediate wash of relief—no adult entanglements to explain—Bruno firms his lips to keep from laughing. “Ah—ah. Pérez. I’ve heard the story. The mouse who collects teeth in exchange for a little present, right?”
Antonio nods and moves forward, pushing on Bruno’s knees. It causes the hammock to rock. “I know it’s a mouse but…you have rats!”
“Sí?”
He pushes harder. “I can talk to animals!”
Bruno plants his feet into the tiles to keep from knocking the boy over on the swing back. “Ah…and?”
Antonio gives up on the pushing and starts climbing into Bruno’s lap.
He winces at the small fists grabbing skin along with pants fabric and scoops Antonio to sit in his lap. One foot pushes on the floor, setting them rocking.
“We could make sure the story is true, tío. I can talk to the rats and they can collect teeth. Then Gabrio can’t say it’s not true.”
“But…” Bruno’s pretty sure the content of the conversation precludes Antonio from believing as well, but he's careful anyway. “It, ah, well…he’d only have proof if we, um, made it—true?”
Antonio huffs and thumps his head back into Bruno’s chest. “I know it’s not real. But Gabrio doesn’t, not really. And lots of other kids don’t.” He twists, turning shining eyes up to Bruno. “We could make it true for them!”
“Um, hmm.” Bruno tries to mentally estimate the number of children in the Encanto, the number of teeth they’d lose, and the logistics of sending rats into houses. “Um. It’s an…interesting idea? How do you think it would work?”
Resettling, Antonio reaches to play with the edge of Bruno’s ruana. “You don’t have that many rats. So, we can’t get all the teeth.”
He tries to keep the sigh of relief subtle.
“But as long as some kids see Pérez, the rest will think it’s true.”
“That’s—not a bad idea, kid. As long as it’s a few. Sometimes. Maybe.”
“Pérez can’t be seen all the time! Do you think the rats would help?”
Bruno runs a hand over Antonio’s curls as he thinks. “You’d have to ask them nicely. And explain what they’d be doing. Um, it might be better to do it at a house where the parents give us permission? I don’t want to send the rats across the Encanto alone.”
“I’ll make sure nothing eats them!”
“Ah…yeah. No eating.” The thought of hungry animals joins worries of long distances for small paws. “We can let a rat out by the house?”
The head beneath his hand bobs. “We can give the rats a little candy to leave. Something light, so it’s not hard to carry. I can ask Gabrio’s parents if it's okay?”
“You need to ask the rats, first,” Bruno says. “If they aren’t up for it, lo siento, but I gotta say no, okay?”
Antonio nods. “Animals come first!” He never pushes his new friends, even for his own goals. He squirms until Bruno sets him back on the ground. “Oh! Pérez needs an outfit!”
“Dios mío.” Bruno’s head sinks into his hands at the thought of his poor rats dressed up. “What does Pérez wear?”
“Um…” Antonio tips his head in thought. “The book had a picture. A hat! And glasses, and a jacket, and little pants, and he had a bag for the tooth!”
Each article of clothing causes Bruno to sink further into the hammock. “Does he need…clothes? Isn’t it enough to be a rat?”
“Then he’s just a rat!” One foot taps the ground; not a stamp, but a firm refusal. “He needs something.”
Bruno thinks of his rat’s personalities and mentally compares clothing items to temperaments. “What about a hat. Just the hat. Mirabel could make it?”
“And a cape,” Antonio bargains.
“Only if the rats say yes.” He feels like he’s been played, somehow, despite being the adult in the situation. But Antonio glows with excitement and Bruno’s weak for five-year-old sobrinos he’s spent little time with. “Antonio…”
“Sí?” He turns back, a few steps into his quest to find the rats.
“Why is it so important that Gabrio and the others believe in el ratón Pérez?”
The curly head tips, dark eyes boring into Bruno’s. “Everyone deserves some magic.” Then he’s off again, calling for the rats.
Bruno sits back in the hammock, slightly stunned at the statement. It’s too deep for a child. Or maybe, because he’s a child, Antonio’s able to see what adults can’t.
Everyone deserves some magic, whether it comes in the form of rats and mice or miracles and Casitas.
Bruno smiles and heaves himself out of the hammock. Mirabel has a tiny hat to sew.

New Story: Buried!
Summary: "Bruno would never forgive himself, he'd only started taking care of Valentina and the other rats about a month ago!"
What's that? Two stories in one day? And it's another story for @encantobigbang 2022? Yep, I was the backup writer for my art partner @orchidlatte. Thank you for your lovely artwork!
Short excerpt: "Diego!" he called out softly. "Valentina! Chico!" It took a moment, but then a smile spread across his face when a furry snout poked out from behind the room divider, sniffing for the treat he was offering.
But the smile turned into a frown when it was only Diego and Chico who came for their breakfast. Valentina was missing. He checked behind the divider where the other two had been, between the logs near the stove, under the dresser, in the flower display in the kitchen entrance…
"Bruno, seriously…"
"Just a moment!" Bruno called back in a frenzy, wringing his hands in worry. "I can't find Valentina!"

Me: I don't need a new fic idea, I already have so many!
My brain: But what if Bruno saves a wolf puppy and the pack basically adopts him as a member of the fam, and follow him around like puppies, and the Madrigals now have like ten wolves sitting in their courtyard around Bruno while Alma tries desperately to not have a heart attack?
Tumblr media
Was this just an excuse to draw a bunch of wolves bc they're fun to draw?
Probably.
Bruno deserves a pack of floofy bois. Supreme cuddle opportunity.

Have a little drawing of Jedi Knight Bruno and his faithful rat-porg Padawan for week 3 (crossover) of @wdtajn
The lightsabers don't contain usual kyber crystals, but pieces of Bruno's vision tablets instead ;)

Small human speak understand? said the rat, with tilted head and sounds higher than Antonio had ever heard before he opened his door last night.
“Yeah, I understand you.” Between all the time they’d spent preparing for his ceremony yesterday, and everything they needed to do for Isabela’s engagement today, Antonio’s family was super busy. He had told Mamí and Papí that he wanted to play in his room for a while, but that was before he found a rat waiting outside his door. His room would still be there later, he decided.
