Here's something angsty for you (again)

Preemie baby Mirabel dies. She cought a disease and being a preemie and weaker than other children her age poor baby succumbs to the sickness and passed away. She died at maybe 6-7 months old. Bonus angst points if she died in her mothers arms. Yeah...Juli might take a while to recover from that. But hey you are an expert in messing with Julieta's sanity so....what do you think?

.............. I hate you– anyWAY– YOU MADE ME DO IT AND NOW, LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES!

you try to stop it tumbling

cw: infant death

Mirabel is a small baby. She is a sickly baby. She is a weak baby that constantly needs her mamá near.

But Mirabel is also a very happy baby. She is the reason there's so much happiness in their Casita. She's the apple of her Abuela's eye, she's her mother's precious light.

Julieta knows her youngest daughter has it hard. She lost count of how many times Mirabel was sick - whether it was just a cold, cough, fever or the flu. She's so young, barely seven months old, not even walking yet, and she has been through more than any of her sisters or cousins at this age.

She's smaller than other babies her age. Her every milestone happens later than Camilo's, and when Julieta compares their development – having in mind they're two months apart, but the thing with Julieta was: she always kept a record of every Madrigal kid's development, something that was a small obsession connected to the nature of her gift, probably – she can't help but worry.

Mirabel hasn't started teething yet. She has just learned how to sit without toppling over, and she's in love with her toys - that is, when she has the energy to play.

That's what worries Julieta the most. The lack of energy, even when her appetite is great - it nearly rivals Camilo's infinite hunger. Yet despite eating so much, she looks more like a 5-month-old and often is very sleepy.

And when Mirabel is sleepy, she's also very clingy and loves to cuddle, so Julieta keeps her close, most of the time. Mirabel loves to nap against her chest, always resting her head full of dark, short curly hair over Julieta's heart, finding its beating calming.

At times like those, Julieta finds it in herself to smile. To bow her head and kiss Mirabel's soft hair, stroke her back, hold her tiny hand and feel like her small fingers clench around her bigger ones.

At times like those, she feels everything would be alright.

All hopes fade away one evening when Julieta is cooking dinner with Mirabel sleeping against her chest, her breathing uneven and raspy because she has a cold again. Bruno bursts into the kitchen, out of breath and panting, and she looks at him in concern.

"Bruno–" she stops when he walks closer and she sees that his face is wet. He's crying, she realises, and her heart starts beating faster. She can't remember the last time she saw him crying. "What happened?"

Bruno's wide hazel eyes flicker to Mirabel resting in her arms, then back to her, and she sees the trembling of his hands. She has a growing suspicion because he's so easy to read sometimes, and she doesn't like what her mind is telling her, but she's waiting for his answer.

A few seconds pass, and Bruno still doesn't say anything. Finally, he reaches with his hands under his ruana and pulls out a glimmering slab of emerald glass. Julieta knows she's shaking her head even before she sees the picture engraved in it.

"Lo siento, Juli," Bruno whispers and lays the glass on the counter. "I didn't mean to– I'm so sorry."

He's babbling but she doesn't listen. She looks down and before her mind can grasp what she's seeing, her arms hug her daughter closer - closer to her body, closer to her beating heart, as if she can keep the girl safe and sound this way.

On the glass, she sees herself. She sees herself crying and screaming, with tears flowing down her face, with a small, limp body in her arms.

She's sobbing, she knows. Bruno's saying something, Mirabel stirs against her and she feels two small fists tightening on her blouse, then there's a sound of thunder, two babies start crying at one, and she feels someone's arms around her but all she can do is staring at the picture of herself with Mirabel's dead body in her arms.

The image haunts her for days.

Every cough, every sneeze, every rejection of food from Mirabel – all these things are fueling her paranoia and her fear.

Members of their family try to reason with her. Bruno hasn't spoken with her since the day he gave her vision, Agustín soothes her that Bruno's visions aren't set in stone, Mamá assures her that her healing food would help Mirabel if something happens, her girls try to make her and Mirabel smile on every occasion and Pepa tries to distract her, though there's a small grey cloud following her ever since she too saw their brother's vision.

Two weeks pass and Julieta finally let herself calm down a little. Mirabel is fine, though she started teething and it makes her feverish and grumpy, but Julieta can deal with that. She managed with her other daughters and she knows the best method that would surely work for Mirabel.

But then, one day, Mirabel's fever goes worse.

Julieta notices it when she wakes up in the morning on her own, instead of being woken up by Mirabel as has been a norm for many weeks now. She walks over to her youngest's bed and reaches out to her, and she almost gasps at how warm Mirabel is.

She immediately rushes to get damp towels to lower the temperature, she takes all steps she needs to make her daughter feel better. Her mamá and sister come into the room not that much later and try to calm her down.

"You had been so miserable when you were teething, mija," mamá says, sending Julieta a fond look. "Feverish, grumpy, less active. I was worried you caught something but it eventually passed. Mirabel must have taken after you."

But Julieta only sniffs, biting back a sob that threatens to escape her throat. She knows there are tears in her eyes but she can't help it, she's worried. She remembers Bruno's vision–

"She doesn't want to eat. She woke up for a few minutes and came back to sleep," she complains, hugging Mirabel closer to her chest. "I don't know what to do."

"Let her rest. She has a fever, she needs it."

"But I need to feed her. She hasn't eaten since around midnight and it's almost ten–"

"Give her another hour or two," Pepa says softly, though her cloud is still hovering over her head - a clear sign she's no less worried than Julieta. "I bet she'll feel better then."

Julieta nods with great reluctance. She doesn't like it at all, but what more she can do?

Two hours pass quickly. Julieta is in the kitchen and Agustín keeps her company when she's preparing dinner. He holds their daughter on his lap. Mirabel is awake but her head rests heavily against her father's chest.

The sight both brings Julieta relief and makes her extremely anxious.

She managed to feed Mirabel a little. She ate for only five minutes but it's better than nothing, and now her youngest's tired brown eyes follow the plushie butterfly's movement as Agustín tries to have her attention to playing.

But Mirabel doesn't make any grabby hands as she always would. She just sits there and stares, coughing weakly once in a while or whimpering when someone brushes their fingers over her forehead that is still too warm to Julieta's liking.

But she ate... It must be good, right? It means she'll get better very soon, won't she? Pepa said so, Agustín said so, her mamá said so - they must be right.

So she returns to cooking, glancing constantly at her daughter and husband, letting calm herself down by the soft tone of voice Agustín has reserved for their daughters. It makes her smile. She loves to watch him with their girls. He's such a good dad.

"Hey, Miraboo," he says quietly. "Fight this fever because you're giving your Mami grey hairs and you know that's a sore subject for her."

Julieta groans and glares at him. But her exasperation quickly melts when she spots the smallest smile on Mirabel's lips. She hopes it's a good sign.

There's a problem.

Julieta has never been a particularly lucky person, and so in the evening, Mirabel's fever gets even worse. She's fallen asleep rejecting any attempts at feeding her, her breathing is raspy and uneven, and no one knows how to help her.

Julieta is barely functioning overcome with worry, and Agustín is no better, though he hides it well. But she knows him, and she knows he's just as scared.

The kids were put to beds, it's almost ten in the evening, and Julieta sits in the living area with Mirabel on her lap pressed against her, and the adults are talking quietly, trying to distract her.

It doesn't work.

Mirabel's breathing unsettles her and she denied putting her in her crib, insisting on holding her tight. There's a dread in the back of her mind. Bruno's vision is there whenever she closes her eyes. It seems the picture is imprinted onto her eyelids and it doesn't want to go away.

She wants to believe Mirabel will get better tomorrow. She might have been born too early, but she is a fighter. She's lived for seven months, developing a little slower but thriving, being of weak health but of a great personality.

"Te amo, mariposita," Julieta bows her head to kiss Mirabel's locks. "Get better for mamá, hm?"

There's no answer and Julieta didn't expect any. She sighs and rests her head on Agustín's shoulder, her hand drawing circles on Mirabel's back.

She's tired. She wants to sleep but she can't, not when her baby is unwell. But she lets herself close her eyes, trusting it would be just enough to rest a little.

But then–

Then Mirabel's breathing becomes louder. It almost sounds like she's about to cough and Julieta sits straight, looking down at her. "Mirabel?" she asks quietly, rubbing her back, then patting it very lightly to help her cough.

But no cough comes out.

Soon the loud breathing turns into wheezing. This sound gives her shivers and she pulls the girl back, supporting her back, her concern growing. Mirabel's little lips are parted, but her eyes are still closed and the breaths she's emitting sound awful. She has never heard something like that.

"Mira?" she touches her chubby cheek, and then rubs her chest. "Mi amor, wake up!"

The conversation in the room stops but Julieta couldn't care less about it. Her focus is on her daughter only, on her weird breathing, on the unsettling sounds she makes, on the uneven movements of her chest and on the fact she's not waking up.

A few wheezes later and Julieta finally realizes that–

"She can't breathe," she croaks out, then her voice becomes a worried shriek. "Mamá, she can't breathe!"

There's a commotion. Agustín stiffens beside her and she feels his arm on her waist, a low thunder rumbles over their heads and mamá hurries over to where they're sitting. She crouches down in front of them and reaches with her hand to Mirabel's back, rubbing it vigorously.

"Breathe, mi vida," she says, and Julieta can say for the first time that Alma sounds terrified. "Ay Mirabel, breathe, niña, por favor."

But it doesn't work.

Rubbing her back, rubbing her chest - it all doesn't work.

Mirabel's lips turn an unhealthy shade of purplish-blue and Julieta feels like she's dying inside. "Corazón, please, breathe. Breathe for mamá. Breathe for mamá!"

Nothing, only weak wheezes.

"She can't breathe, mamá!" Julieta wails, and her hands tremble. "Mamá, help her! Mamá! She can't breathe–"

Alma looks up at her, utterly terrified but Julieta can't see her through the tears that gathered in her eyes. Everything is blurry. Her baby is suffocating in her arms and she's frozen, she doesn't know what to do, she–

"¡Dios mío!" her mamá chokes out, and her voice is raspy, weak. "Mirabel..."

There's silence.

No coughs, no wheezing, no pats on the back. Nothing.

Julieta looks down. Mirabel doesn't make any sound. Her chest doesn't rise nor fall. Her arms, kept on her stomach just a moment before, now fall down by her sides limply.

"No," she says, and her breathing picks up, her ears ringing. "Mirabel. Mi vida. Wake up. Wake up for mamá. Mi amor..."

But she doesn't.

Julieta shakes her small body and rubs her chest, pleading her to wake up, calling her all cute names, touching her small hands, waiting–

But Mirabel doesn't move. Her lips are purple, her body is limp, and when Julieta runs her hand over her small chest, she can't feel her baby's heartbeat.

"No!" she sobs and brings the unmoving body to her arms, hugging her close, rocking them both. "Mi bebé! Mi bebé, mi bebé, mi bebé..."

The heavy rain suddenly falls all over them, Pepa is sobbing as well and Agustín holds them both, crying into her hair.

And Julieta... She's sitting there with her dead baby in her arms, shaking and wailing.

Just like in Bruno's vision.

my encanto analysis/headcanon that no one asked for

so, i was just looking through some encanto fanart and headcanons and came across this piece (artist: https://mobile.twitter.com/ye_enc):

abuela had triplets - julieta, pepa, and bruno. both julieta and pepa had three kids - isabella, luisa, and mirabel for julieta, and dolores, camilo, and antonio for pepa.

what i noticed is that for each batch of three, each individual falls under a certain category, and it seems to follow by age.

julieta was, as this lovely fanart shows, likely depended on quite frequently for her ability to heal via her cooking. her gift would have been the most useful and therefore she likely would have been praised the most as “the perfect one”.

this, of course, next falls to isabella, who we see this with the most frequently. abuela very clearly is living the life she wished she could have lived through isabella, and is viewed as the perfect golden child by everyone around her.

dolores is a little different, but i believe she still fits the trope. she is basically the physical embodiment of “seen but not heard.” she keeps quiet on the things she knows would upset her family and doesn’t make herself heard, even when she is in pain, whether physical or emotional. she doesn’t tell anyone that she knows bruno has been living in the walls for the ten years he’s been missing; she doesn’t tell anyone about her feelings for mariano, because she knows that will upset abuela and her cousin’s “perfect for the encanto” arrangement; and one can only imagine how loud certain things are to her, that are endurable for us (fireworks, for example).

next are the middle children: pepa, luisa, and camilo. all of them have some kind of pressure on their shoulders. (and - just a fun thing i noticed - while luisa’s literal pressure is the many things she carries, pepa’s pressure is atmospheric pressure, because she controls the weather. but anyway, lol).

all three of these characters are told in one way or another to bottle up their emotions and keep them buried inside. with pepa, we see this very directly as she is constantly told by the other characters (especially abuela) to, as the fanart above shows, calm down and essentially turn off her emotions because of the damage she can cause with her weather powers. this kind of reminds me of the “conceal, don’t feel” thing that elsa had with her gloves. both pepa and elsa demonstrate the same growth throughout their movies, too - learning to accept themselves and their abilities and thus being able to control them instead of being controlled by them - but, i digress.

luisa, by contrast, is indirectly told to keep her emotions at bay. she is treated as something of a useful tool, both by the town and by abuela, and seen in a very masculine light despite her relatively feminine personality. because of this treatment and the expectation that she will always be strong that comes with it, she falls into the same category as pepa.

camilo, like dolores, is a little different, but still fits. we don’t see much of him in the movie, but i imagine he is depended on as being the funny one. if anyone reading this is into k-pop or bts, think of camilo as like the j-hope or the jin of the group. he’s always expected to be funny and smiling, lifting everyone else’s spirits - but who lifts his spirits?

and lastly, we have the youngest siblings - bruno, mirabel, and antonio. they fit into the roll, of course, of the scapegoat, of family disappointments.

bruno was rejected by the town and by his family, seen as a harbinger of chaos and horror, a bad omen - all because he can see the future, something that he obviously cannot control. but, of course, it’s easier to simply blame someone else than accept the truth or take responsibility for your own actions.

mirabel, of course, is treated in much the same way. she is seen as a bad omen, as well, and is quite literally feared to be the one who will destroy the family and the encanto, because of bruno’s vision.

antonio does not quite fit into this category, but i think if he had not gotten a gift, he would have been shunned in much the same way as bruno or mirabel. it can also be argued that his gift isn’t really very useful, and we can see abuela struggle for a moment to think of how they could put his gift to use at the breakfast at the beginning of the movie (”i told them to warm up your seat”).

anyway - this is all to say that each of the siblings in each of the batches of three appears to fill (or almost fill) the same rolls. i’m sure someone else has already noticed this and i’m just late to the party - but i thought it was cool.

THE THIEF AND THE PROPHET CHAPTER 2: 【 THE DEVIL'S HANGED MAN 】

「 The celebrations have begun! It's a joyous time of laughter, reminiscing, and preparation in the days leading up to the wedding of Dolores and Mariano. Well...for everyone else, at least.

Bruno finds himself a little overwhelmed by all the festivities, feeling a lot of pressure to not make accidentally 'ruining weddings' a tradition of his.

It doesn't help that the strange talisman he won in a dice game is attracting a lot of unwanted attention when it's revealed that the jewel merchant is said to be a 'gold thief' who lures people in with stories and 'fools gold' in exchange for real gold.

Meanwhile, the mysterious jewel merchant, Chel, returns home, where she mopes in a bath after finding another gray hair. Thankfully, her sister, Inés, is there to boost her spirits, as are the magical charms of her youngest nephew, Vito. 」 ✨| CHAPTER 3: A flashback to almost 12 years ago right before Mirabel's ceremony and Bruno's disappearance. Chel returns to The Encanto with her family and has a conversation with a mysterious stranger.

Thank you so much for waiting patiently for this chapter! There's a lot of information leading into the next. Everything has meaning and nothing is a mistake. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13th!

First of all I really enjoy your work, its amazing:) So I wonder if you would be interested in an switch gift AU especially with the triplets. What I mean with that is, what would had happened if Julieta was the one with the vision gift. And she would had that vision of Mirabel. Do you think she would pull an Bruno? Of tried the negotiat with Alma? ( Sorry if there are riding mistakes)

Oh hello, thank you! ♥

Well, I wouldn't be interested in writing it, at least not at the moment because I have far too many WIPs and I feel like one more WIP would overwhelm me. Buuuut...

Back in March? Or February? Someone asked me about the AUs I was thinking about and one of them was the gift switch where Pepa was still Pepa but Bruno's and Julieta's gifts were switched. So you got a healer Bruno and a seer Julieta.

How things are in that AU?

Well, Pepa is still Pepa...

Bruno is still Bruno, meaning he still has OCD and loves his rats (which enrages everyone, especially Alma, because rats in the kitchen?!) and he's still that awkward man, though he's not seen as a black sheep now, just as a weirdo. Since he's very socially awkward, often Julieta (who has fewer duties than Pepa or him) helps him with food deliveries, and shopping and usually she's the one to be on his food stand and give people healing food.

That and her kind, shy, quiet nature make people more tolerant toward her gift than they were to Bruno in canon. She's forgiven more easily and if some villager is mean to her or threatens her, many people jump to her help because 1) she's Julieta, it's her charm and 2) she's a woman and if a man tries to let out his fury for a bad vision on her, there are other people that would always jump to her rescue.

Julieta is still a lot like in canon. Caring, kind, very family-oriented. She's less distant from her family, and because she found her place in the community by getting married and having kids, her room looks different as well and her stairs aren't that high. They barely changed over the years. Her room is just... more family-friendly and actually looks like a room, not some dessert cave lol

How did she meet Agustin, you may ask. Well, as I said, she often helped Bruno and stood on his stand and that's how one day that awkward boy met her, thinking she was a healer. It turned out she was a seer who thanks to her random quick vision, was able to see most of Agustin's injuries just in time to stop him from being hurt.

They bonded, they fell in love, they married, they had kids.

Now, Julieta always had known she'd have three children. That's why in this AU she was prepared for a miscarriage she would one day experience (my hc, don't mind it; also, it didn't mean she was ready for that when it happened, it still hurt) but she had no idea her youngest child would be born prematurely, her vision didn't tell her that until one day when a sharp pain she felt suddenly triggered a sudden vision that told her that her baby girl would come into this world soon, weeks earlier than she should. A lovely gift, isn't it? XD

So, in this scenario, Julieta would never leave her husband and children. When Mirabel didn't get a gift (which Julieta didn't see as well because she never looked into the kids' gifts), she had a vision, just like Alma asked but then... She consulted it with her husband. And they decided that they'd hide it. Julieta forced herself to have another vision and decided to give her mother this one while she hid the original one somewhere nobody but her would find her (or so she hoped).

(I also think that if Bruno had his own family, he would never leave as well but that's a side note of sorts XD)

Julieta and Agustin also decided that if Alma ever found out about the vision, they would probably move out because they knew her reaction about Mirabel being a possible danger to their house and the Miracle might make things worse.

But this Julieta is still a loving and very protective mother, so she stays. She keeps her daughters close. She bonds with Mirabel over being seen as the weirdest ones in the family (because even if this Julieta is rather liked by the villagers, she's still considered a freak because of her seeing abilities).

Would Bruno have his own family in this AU? I don't think so. I kinda like the aro-ace hc for him.

Would Luisa's and Isabela's gifts be different because Julieta's gift is different as well? Maybe, though I kinda like original ones... Like... Isabela gets a flower power to make her parents' room more livable and because she had always loved nature. Luisa gets her strength because this Julieta had also been an older sister, the responsible and caring one, so Luisa is the caring one as well.

So yeah... If any of you have some theories or hcs about this AY, you can drop it.
