#madrigal triplets my beloved

Tumblr media
The question, Do you believe in miracles? was redundant in the Encanto. Of course every resident of their hidden valley believed in miracles and believed in magic: a miracle saved them so long ago and magical blessings were the norm with los Madrigals at the helm.
Julieta lived under the protection of a miracle born from her father’s sacrifice and her mother’s need. Sappy as it may have sounded, she believed each of her daughters was a blessing, magic or no magic. It was a miracle of its own to have such a wonderful family.
But magic and miracles came with prices: stress, responsibility, fear…Her brother vanishing for ten long years.
A curse for Julieta, such a personal one, as if the fates contrived to come up with a special torture for her. What better way to break her heart than to tear apart her family?
*
The Madrigal triplets reunite, and Julieta has a lot to reflect on.

Julieta & Bruno headcanons
Tumblr media
for @hectic-hector we both know these two are the best!
They're 15 minutes apart
Julieta gave Alma a heart attack because she was born calm, without crying or noise.
But she was the healthiest baby. Bruno was born weaker and smaller than his sisters.
He couldn't sleep alone, he always had to be between his sisters, but over time Pepa became more independent, leaving them alone.
It never bothered Julieta, and even after getting their own rooms and gifts, she would always leave an empty spot next to her on the bed, knowing that Bruno would appear at any time of the night.
While Pepa preferred to play outside and explore, Bruno and Julieta were home children. They would play chess, cards, puzzles, or read together.
They were the ones who could pretend to be each other, which greatly bothered Pepa. They stopped when they realized that it really hurt her not to look like her siblings.
Bruno was Julieta's guinea pig while she learned to cook. He trusted his sister, and no matter how bad the food looked, he would eat it and be honest about the taste.
Because of this, Bruno actually learned to cook and is really good at it, he just prefers to leave the hard work to his sister.
But he doesn't hesitate to take over if Julieta needs to rest.
Bruno was the baby when they played. Always. Sometimes it was hard for him to know when the game ended because Julieta would treat him like a baby anyway.
He's a gentleman and he was since he was little. He would open the door for his sisters or help them cross puddles or give them the hand when they went down the stairs.
Again, with Pepa more interested in exploring and being independent, Bruno stopped doing it with her, but he always did it for Julieta, even as adults, he still retains those instincts and makes sure to be a total gentleman with her.
Pepa complains about this, saying that he was never "good" to her and that it was obvious who his favorite sister was.
Bruno simply agrees and hugs Julieta while he sticks his tongue out at Pepa.
"As if she wasn't your favorite too" (Yes, yes she is. Julieta is the favorite sister of her two siblings, but they still love each other…in their own way)
Julieta just laughs, but she hugs Bruno back while she smiles evilly at Pepa just to annoy her.
"Mamá!! Your children are evil!!" "I don't remember any of them breaking my vases as kids, tho" "I can't believe this family treats me like this, betrayal after betrayal." (Pepa's the drama queen, you can't change my mind)
Bruno was not very good at school, he was better than Pepa, but he still had a hard time understanding many things. Julieta spent afternoons patiently explaining to him what she had understood.
For that reason, Bruno got used to going to her when he had doubts, even after returning to the family.
Julieta's the secret keeper for both her siblings. In a way, she knows them better than Alma (or Félix in Pepa's case) ever will.
When Julieta felt too pressured by the expectations of her mother and the town, she hid in Bruno's room.
He never questioned it, he simply sat with her, listening to her without interrupting and offering hugs from time to time (he didn't know what else to do).
She knew that she didn't have to be perfect with him, that she could make mistakes, do stupid things, scream, jump, just be herself, without fear of being judged.
Bruno loves those moments. He got used to seeing his older sister as a perfect doll, it was nice to be able to see her being human again.
Julieta was the only person Pepa couldn't beat in a fight (the woman is strong, okay? We don't give her enough credit just because she's the calmest of the triplets), which is why Bruno hid behind her every time Pepa intimidated him.
She cooked whatever she was in the mood to make, but it was more common for her to spoil Bruno with food than her sister and mother. But she would never admit it.
When the grandchildren were born, Julieta's daughters immediately chose him as their favorite "mom's sibling".
"It wasn't enough for you to steal my sister, now you are also taking my nieces from me?!" "Pepa, your cloud!"
When his sisters started dating, instead of trying to seem intimidating, he would simply tell the suitors that if they hurt any of them, he would give them a horrible vision (he knows his gift doesn't work like that, but it was his way of protecting Pepa and Juli).
His favorite niece is Mirabel. No questions, no doubts. I'm not even going to argue this point, I'll just say that she was his favorite from the moment she was born (probably because she looked so much like Julieta and in a way he felt like he could repay her for all the love and care she had for him through Mirabel).
The night he disappeared, the only person he had time to write to was Julieta. He didn't tell her where he was going, he just asked her not to hate him and that he promised her he would be okay. He thanked her for everything she had done for him and said he was sorry for not being the best brother to her.
It was the worst pain Julieta had ever felt. It was as if she had lost one of her babies, and she refused to leave her room for weeks, clinging to that letter.
In the end, only Pepa was able to get her out of there, reminding her that she still had her, and that she needed her. The two became closer in those years because of the fear they had of losing each other too.
Julieta hated her mother and sister's unspoken rule not to talk about Bruno. She hated it with all her soul, but she knew that she couldn't do anything about it if she didn't want to make things worse for Mirabel.
She didn't say anything when Pepa went to vent to her and inevitably ended up cursing Bruno, she simply sat next to her and hugged her, even if she didn't agree with what she said.
Still, she couldn't be mad at Bruno. Hurt, sad and desperate maybe, but never really angry.
She could never hate him, she could not curse his name nor could she harbor resentment in her heart for having left her. He was still her brother and even though she didn't know where he was, she still loved him and refused to say a single bad thing about him.
Bruno not only chose the hiding place near the kitchen because of the free food, but because it is the place where Julieta spent the most time, and being with her (even if she didn't know it) calmed him down and made him feel better.
He sometimes wondered if what he did was worth it, as he listened to Julieta break down little by little.
There's no way in the world Julieta left him out of her sight for more than a few minutes when he returned. There was simply no human power that would make her turn away from him, for fear of losing him again if she looked away.
Bruno didn't care, knowing that he had years to make up for hurting her.
Curiously, rebuilding his relationship with her was more difficult than with Pepa and Alma or anyone else.
Perhaps because he had never been as close to them as he was with his older sister, and it broke his heart to realize that the reason the miracle had broken in the first place was not just because of Alma's expectations on the family, but because he himself had broken the strongest bond he had as well.
It took a few months for them to start trusting each other the same way they had. Bruno had to learn to talk to her freely again, without sounding like he was walking on eggshells around her.
And Julieta had to learn to give him space, to trust that he wouldn't leave again and take his word that she hadn't been the reason he left in the first place, that she really had done enough and more for him.
It was a slow process, but they managed to make it work and that was all that mattered to them.
And that's all for now because I could go on and on about these two and we would never leave this post. I just love them so so much!!! (and Pepa too)

check out Ducky's first parts pt. 1, pt. 2, pt. 3
Tumblr media
As the month dragged by, Carlos wasn't the same anymore. Every night Carlos would cry himself to sleep at the thought of getting older without his triplets. And with the rebuild of Casita, it made him feel even worse. He couldn’t bring himself to go back to the place that killed both of you. So he never helped rebuild Casita; instead, he would go back to the river every day.
Every time he visited he would bring some of your’s and Camilo’s favorite food because he knew how mad you would be at him for not taking care of himself. During his time he would enjoy the peace of the quiet and only imagine what you guys would have been up to by now, maybe you would have confessed to your crush you told him about a year ago. Or imagine how many fights would end up with a cactus in Camilo cause he pissed off Isabela. Maybe you all would have ganged up against your older sister to make fun and park her new boyfriend. Oh right…yall never say that. Damn. You guys had missed so much in life so far, Carlos can't even bring himself to think of what else you guys would as well. By the time the sun set he would trench back to the house that some villagers were letting his family stay in. 
He arrived back in time for dinner. Once again he just ate his dinner in silence while everyone else was chatting away. He was about to excuse himself when his abuela said something.
“Family, we are all grateful for the help to rebuild our lovely Casita. Tomorrow we shall finally be able to move back in, so tonight please gather up all your stuff so we are ready to move.” 
By the end of dinner Carlos dragged himself back into the room he was staying in. He didn't want to leave yet. Not that he liked this place no, he just didn't want to go back to the same place he lost his meaning to live. The place where the lives of triplets were lost. He didnt even wanna walk near there, let alone live there. But he had no choice, no matter how hard he wanted to avoid this time.
Thankfully he didn't have much to pack anyway, it only took him about an hour. He only had one last thing to pack tho. There he looked at the photo frame that was faced down on his night stand. With a shaking hand he hesitantly lifted it up to reveal a photo of you three on your thirteenth birthday. All of you laughing together while cake smeared all over y’all cause Carlos decided to start a cake fight.
He choked. He remembered all the fun birthdays shared and didn't realize that last year was gonna be the last ever time.
Tumblr media
“Hermano wake up, we get to go back to Casita today!” and enthusiastic Antonio squeaked. 
Carlos weakly opened his eyes that were glue shut from the tears that poured last night. 
“Calmate im getting up”
When he got up body was sore. He had slept all night in the same position clenching onto the photo of you three close to his chest.
Tumblr media
Everyone was standing around the path to casita while mirabel was holding a custom doorknob just for her
“I see me..all of me” she said with tears in her eyes
Once she placed the doorknob in magic spread all throughout the house and bringing it back to life, literally.
Everyone started flooding through the doors bringing back the atmosphere of their once beloved home. But Carlos didn't budge. He stood there staring at the house which he dreaded going back into. A pain started to fill every cavity of his chest just remembering that sight he saw of his siblings. When all of a sudden a hand was placed on his shoulder.
“ It hurts me as well, but we both know that they would want us to go in, no matter how much of chickens they would be acting right now,” Dolores said, causing a low chuckle from Carlos. 
She reached her hand out for him to grab. Slowly he held on to his big sister's hand as he was about to do one of the most painful things in his life, going back to that dreaded place. 
As they both walked through the door side by side he tried hard to stay strong and put on a brave face. Once he stepped in he was flooded by amazing memories he had with you two
“ Hey Stupid what would happen if we started spinning you in the hammock?” an 11 year old Carlos exclaimed to his brother.
“Only one way to find out!” a young and very stupid Camilo agreed.
Flash forward to within 5 minutes with Camilo in a hammock wearing a helmet and holding onto the sides of it for dear life, and on the other side Carlos on the end of the hammock ready to spin him. 
“What are you doing now?!” came in young y/n holding an empanada you just got from your tia.
“ About to see what happens to milo if we spin him in the hammock”
“I’ve got a helmet!” he interrupted.
“Yes he has a helmet. So you gonna help us or not”
“Fineeee” young you had said while stuffing the rest of your empanada in your mouth so you could help them.
“ ha remember that time we convinced Camilo to go into the hammock and spin him around” he said to his sister, remembering the memory
“ isn’t it the time he flung out and you guys had tia keep it a secret from mama cause you both knew you’d get in trouble”
“Haha yeah…it was fun”
Dolores had a smile escape from her seeing him laugh and remember the good times they all had together.
Tumblr media
It has been a month now since they’ve moved back in. Almost everyone had gotten comfy again and settled back in. All but Carlos. Ever since they came back he hasn't opened his door. He didn’t want his powers back, it would only pain him to remember his matching gift with his triplets. And not seeing your guys' doors near his anymore hurts like hell. So instead he has been sleeping in Antonio’s room since Pepa wont let him sleep on the couch downstairs all by himself. 
Tumblr media
At dinner tonight something seemed off. Everyone's chatter sort of seemed a bit forced like they were all trying to hold something in. You can clearly tell in Mirabel’s face that she couldn’t keep straight. All of the sudden it seemed like Pepa had gotten the courage to speak. 
“Carlos it’s your birthday tomorrow, would you like anything?” she asked with hesitation.
“ …I don't want to celebrate,” he said, holding back his tears. He had lost all track of time that he didn’t even notice it was almost his birthday. His birthday…no. It should have been an our birthday instead. He should have celebrated it alongside both of you. Now that he realizes it it was always you and Milo who made a bigger deal out of your guys birthday. All week he would have heard about it. All planning what gifts you wanted to get or who won the vote of the cake flavor this year. But none of it was gonna happen
With this he excused himself from the table and headed up to his room. While he was there he looked at the photo frame that was faced down on his night stand. With a shaking hand he hesitantly lifted it up to reveal a photo of you three on your thirteenth birthday. All of you laughing together while cake smeared all over you all cause Carlos decided to start a cake fight.
He choked. He remembered all the fun birthdays shared and didn't realize that last year was gonna be the last ever time.
Tumblr media
“Happy birthday!” Carlos heard while being licked in the face by Antonio’s jaguar. What an amazing wake up call. 
“Alright Alright i’m awake” he said half awake.
After he had gotten up and ready for the day he and Antonio headed down for breakfast.
When they got downstairs you could tell that the atmosphere felt a bit weird.
“Happy Birthday mijo” Felix calmly said to his son while placing a hand on his back.
“Gracias papa”
“ I miss them greatly as well, but we'll get through this together.”
“Carlos glanced over, giving him a slight smile for the kind gesture. 
Tumblr media
It was now a bit later in the day. Carlos was waiting for his tia to finish making some food for him to take for today. 
During his aimless walk around he ended up going up upstairs. Walking along the edge he held his arm out to let his fingers sweep by the railing. He just did many aimless laps around, only moving to not run into plants. Yet during all this he didnt think a thing. His mind was just blank. 
During lap who knows what, while he was walking he didn't pay attention and tipped over a small vase.
Doing this made him snap out of his trance. Quickly picking up the mess he made he finally realized where he was. There in front of him was his unopened door. He paused his cleaning and just stared at it.
“We both know you should open it”
A whisper voice appeared out of nowhere, scaring the hell out of him.
“AHHH! DOLORES WHAT DA HELL?!”
“Lo siento hermano”
“...maybe your right”
“ que?”
“ I mean those losers would have wanted me to open it by now right?”
“Agreed”
“Should I…?”
“It’s your decision”
Upon hearing this Carlos closed his eyes and took a deep breath. With fear in his eyes he looked at the doorknob. He took small slow steps towards the door and once he reached it his breathing hitched. Raising his hand upwards to grip the doorknob. When his hand was hovering over it he froze. Is he really gonna do this? How will he live with himself? But it’s what they would want right? But it still wouldn’t be the same? The more questions he wondered the fear was more evident on his face then over. Looking over his shoulder to glance at his sister she gave a resuring headnod that it’s okay. With this he finally lowered his hand and gripped on the doorknob. But nothing happened. The door was still blank. Confusion started to rise
“Did it work?”
“I don't know let me give it a try”
He tried to transform into anyone…but his appearance stayed the same.
“Wh-what’s happening?” a distressed Carlos asked
“I-i don't know!” said an equally confused Dolores
Carlos held up both of his hands, they were shaking crazy. His eyes darted all around trying to unscramble the mess in his brain. He looked up to meet the eyes of his sister, his lip trembling.
“CARLOS YOUR FOOD IS READY!” yelled his tia from the kitchen
“...I have to go”
With this he ran down stairs and swiftly grabbed the basket off the counter and ran. He didn’t know where he was running, he just let his feet guide him.
Tumblr media
Finally when his feet stopped he looked up to see where he was. He had ran all the way to your guys’ graves. He hasn’t visited here ever since where you guys were buried, it pained him to come here again. Upon closer look he realized that the ruanas he placed on the grave stones were gone
“ No, no where did they go?!” he yeld while holding back a sob stuck in his throat. 
He collapsed to the floor gripping his ruana near his chest. A pain unimaginable was in his heart. How much more could this day pain him? He sat there balling his eyes out. All the pain that had been building up from today was being released.
“ hey loser you don't look good crying” said a familiar voice
Carlos shot his head up to see who was talking. His hair was a mess and his eyes were bloodshot from the violent sobs. When he looked up he saw a sight he missed all too well.
“Ca-camilo…?”
“Yup! I would say in the flesh but umm yeahhh”
“How are you-where’s y/n?!”
“Over here dumbass”
Carlos shot his head back to see the sight of his sibling standing there. Oh god how much he missed it
“Wait how are you guys-”
“Well, if you would have been smart, I believe you got a new gift. Oh, and we never got the chance to thank you for our ruanas, it was getting cold.” you said.
“Ha your welcome then”
" Now you have to catch us up on everything though"
That was his new gift, being able to talk to the dead. Maybe his gift was still connected to his siblings in the end after all…

Prompt: Pepa being overprotective towards Bruno (I know you have already written about this, but i have no self-control😅)
Protective Pepa, my beloved 💕
Tumblr media
Here's the thing about getting your little brother back after ten years of unanswered questions: you tend to get a little overprotective. Just a little. A tiny smidge.
No, Pepa was not overreacting, thank you, keep your nose out of her business.
She was being perfectly reasonable. Was a part of her constantly terrified that Bruno would disappear again if she looked away? Yes. Did she want to claw out the villagers' eyes whenever they got close to Bruno? Most definitely!
But this was normal. She was fine!
It was completely and totally normal for her to stomp over, grab her brother and physically drag him away when an angry villager cornered him about a vision that was over thirty-years-old. In fact, it was only to be expected that Pepa slapped the man as hard as she could.
The slap was so hard, so loud, that everyone around them stopped to stare. It only made Pepa angrier. Oh, now they'd acknowledge what was going on? But they wouldn't lift a finger to help Bruno when a man was screaming abuse at him?
That wasn't about to fly.
The man fell silent in shock, mouth agape. A bright red handprint was forming on his cheek.
"If you didn't want your wife to leave you," Pepa hissed. "Maybe you should have kept it in your pants, you disgusting pig. Don't you dare blame my brother for your actions! Stay away from him, from all of us, if you know what's good for you."
"Pepa?" Bruno sounded strangled, completely shellshocked. She could see the anxiety in his eyes as he looked around and realised how many people were staring and muttering. He gulped and pulled his hood up, hunching in on himself.
So Pepa grabbed him and pulled him away, glaring at anyone who dared to meet her eyes.
She'd just gotten her brother back. She wasn't about to let a bunch of narrow-minded, selfish idiots chase him away again. Pepa was not losing him again. Never again.
"You shouldn't have done that," Bruno mumbled as they left the building site. Pepa didn't even know where she was leading him, she just knew she needed to get Bruno away from that damn crowd.
"Yes I should," Pepa said, still seething. If she still had her Gift, a storm would have swept over the village. "I should have done that a long time ago, Bruno."
Bruno was silent. And then he spoke so quietly that Pepa nearly missed it. Perhaps if she hadn't been so used to Dolores, she would have missed it.
"Gracias, hermana mayor."
God, how she missed that title.
Pepa managed to relax and let go of Bruno's arm so they could walk together instead. She grinned at him and he lowered his hood, smiling shyly.
"Any time, hermanito," she said. She snickered and added, "Next time I'll just go straight for a proper punch!"
Bruno laughed and Pepa finally, truly relaxed. They were okay. They'd both be okay.

Sometimes you only need to have your heart melt by Bruno's smile! And by Julieta so happy so have him back, to have back his young twin brother she loves (platonically) so much and worry about.
They're so lovely siblings! (Actually without Bruno I probably would have a crush on Julieta)
