What if the Madrigals piled into a huge van and went to a mall?

Felix is the driver. He always brings along a bottle of water that Pepa always ends up drinking. He buys himself another one in the mall or begs Julieta for one. He likes to find new music to dance to or sheet music.

Alma sits beside Felix in the passenger seat. It's too hard on her knees to crawl into the back part of the van and she likes to be in a spot where she can see the whole family. She will usually meet an old friend for a meal or coffee, then shop with Julieta and Agustin when they get groceries. Everyone knows to meet them when the groceries are done to help load up the van because Julieta will send out a group text. This is the last thing they get done and they leave the city after.

Pepa sits behind Felix. She always forgets something and it's most often her water bottle, so she takes Felix's. She and Felix like to dance to Agustin's piano music if they see him playing in the mall. Felix will follow her around and carry her bags for her, even though she asks if he's sure he wants to do that. It makes him happy so she lets him. They'll help with the grocery shopping too.

Antonio sits beside Pepa and likes to bring along his stuffed jaguar because he isn't allowed to bring along any of his other animals. He has a system for who he spends time with and chooses a different person/group each time so that he can spend time with everyone. He always wants to visit the toy store and pet store, of course.

Julieta is on Antonio's other side and always brings along a large bag full of food, juice, water, and first aid supplies for the kids (and inevitably her husband).

Luisa sits behind Pepa. The far back seat is too tight for her to fit into and she wants to give the front bench to Antonio so he can sit with his mother. She likes to bring tea along for the ride and points out all of the farm animals in the fields.

Isabela sits beside Luisa. Isabela and Luisa usually end up hanging out together in the mall. They like to try on different clothes, check out the bookstore, and visit the gardening section.

Agustin's behind Julieta and beside Isabela. He almost always slams his finger in the door or hits his head getting into the van. Julieta and Agustin like to find a nice restaurant to have a meal together before they go shopping. Sometimes Agustin will play the mall piano for a little while.

Camilo sits in the far back seat behind Luisa. He's always got a prank or some other scheme planned for mall shenanigans. He usually drags Mirabel and/or Bruno into it. When he isn't planning schemes, he likes to visit the music store and Mirabel drags him to the craft store.

Mirabel sits beside Camilo and likes to bring one of her embroidery projects along for the long car ride. Camilo usually keeps distracting her with his plans so she doesn't get much done. She likes to stock up on her sewing supplies and likes the arts and craft store.

Bruno sits beside Mirabel and always has a huge coffee in his hand. Being outside of Casita is exhausting, never mind being in a huge mall. If he can get away from Camilo's plans, he likes to hang out with Dolores in the book store, music store, craft store, and pet store. He makes sure he's never alone in the mall.

Dolores sits beside Bruno and behind Agustin. It's usually the quietest corner of the van and she likes to watch outside the window as she listens to music through her headphones. If she isn't with Bruno, she likes to hang out with Luisa and Isabela.

We know that Modern Luisa is off to college. What about Isabela and Dolores?

Dolores is at university (same as Heartstopper) and has been since she finished school - however, didn’t go anywhere near as far as Luisa did. She also visits her parents and brothers once a month or they come to visit her.

Isabela has been competing in pageants since she was about five and has never stopped. She competed all over and has left the country several times; she is a famed winner in the pageant world. But apart from that, she isn’t doing anything. Abuela won’t let her do anything beside pageants or settling down with Mariano.

Happy Birthday, @impossiblefangirl0632! I hope you like your present 😊

This a sketch of a scene in Chapter 28 of "Take Back the Kingdom", which is one of my favorite fanfics and also one of my favorite stories, period, of all time. All the kudos to @impossiblefangirl0632 and @optimistic-violinist for creating such an awesome story.

Some close ups:

If you haven't read their story on AO3 yet, I highly recommend it!

Modern au headcannons for upcoming stories

These head cannons are for my modern au that is set in the early 90's and extends through to present day. Ocs will come later for right now Isa and Dolores are only smol

Pepa owns a small business where she makes custom jewelry with crystals she tumbles herself. She also makes photo frames and nerdy home decor to sell.

Julieta runs a catering business out of the home. She has plenty of room and is excellent at time management. Her clients always leave astonishingly large tips for her because the quality of her work is so high.

Agustin is a carpenter, he works from 6am to 8 pm on weekdays and has weekends off unless there is an important deadline. He usually brings home the biggest weekly pay unless it's the holidays, then Pepa brings in big bucks for her commissions.

Felix works with his brothers at their pool and outdoor refurbishment company, depending on the day he could install a pool, mow lawns, pressure wash sidewalks, etc. He goes in at 7am after dropping the kids at school and is often home either by or before 6 the next evening. Rare occasions have him working later especially if complications arise with a pool

Isa and Dolores are extremely crafty and responsible. There's always some type of craft or project in progress between them. In their spare time they like to do all sorts of things as far as sports or creativity goes.

Luisa is often roped into the eldest two's shenanigans and she loves it because sometimes she feels left out because she's two years younger than them.

Mirabel and Camilo love to run and play while Pepa and Julieta keep watch. When they're playing their favorite game to play is pretend, Camilo has such a big imagination and Mirabel feeds off of him. They can come up with some wild stories

Dolores and mariano are high school sweethearts

Casita keeps magically growing and each kid has a subdued gift (ex Pepa only controls the weather of the room she's in or has a small cloud above her head only, Isabela can only make flowers bloom or form flowers in her hands)

Bruno is a truck driver and is seldom home, he comes home only for holidays or if he's in the area.

The house is on a half acre property and is completely fenced in.

All kids have bicycles and roller skates. The five of them like to take the evening and go around the block. The eldest can go by themselves to most places in town. Luisa is usually accompanied but can go on her own if she pleases, Mir and Milo must be accompanied if they leave the property.

There is a large backyard swing set and play house for the children to play on.

The eldest girls have flip phones. Though they hardly ever use them unless it's an emergency. They all love playing games on the family Nintendo (GameCube, then Wii after Christmas 2003)

To prevent arguments each family member has their own Gamecube and Wii remote to use.

Hope you enjoy ❤️

I crave more modern AU encanto madness😭😭😭💕💕 and your hcs for it were SO SPOT ON. branching off of the social media ask, what do you think each of them would have in their bios? + who would they be following 👀👀👀💕

Aw, thanks!! T^T And oh wow, this one's gonna be fun...

Also: just imagine their bios are in Spanish.

Alma

Bio/description: Her name and nothing more, she’s got no time for that

Following: family members***; accounts that focus on photos taken around Colombia; oh, but also whatever accounts they’ve made for their hobbies, etc. (e.g., Mirabel’s crafts). I imagine someone helped her choose an account that posts about grief and stuff too.

*** “following family members” is the default for everyone.

Julieta

Bio/description: A mamá who heals with her love, and lots of food.

Following: Local restaurants’ accounts, chefs (but not too many celebrity chefs), medical/medicine-related accounts

Pepa

Bio/description: Your freaking weather goddess 🌦⛈ and honorary Wine Aunt 🍷

Following: Favorite authors, potential romantic getaway spots, some kind of animal facts account that she can share with Antonio

Bruno

Bio/description: It’s actually me. But sometimes it’s Hernando or Jorge. Hi 👋🏽

Following: Various rat instas; his favorite writers, artists, and telenovela actors; a few food accounts

Agustín

Bio/description: It either somehow just says “description” or he’s attempted to write an autobiographical novel

Following: A lot of the same accounts Julieta follows; also the Spanish equivalent of stonkexchange for some reason (he doesn’t get the memes but laughs anyway)

Félix

Bio/description: Married to a freaking (weather) goddess. Father of three stunning children. WEPA! 🇨🇴

Following: Okay, so Félix definitely used to have an account on Duolingo in order to mess with Agustín. He’d troll him in the leaderboards by letting him get ahead and then outranking him by a hundred or so points (and so on and so on)

Isabela

Bio/description: Sick of pretty. Always finding out ✨what else✨ I can do! ‘Find’ me on Etsy @ LasFloresDeIsabela

Following: She and Lizzo are probably mutuals. Also, she, Dolores, and Mirabel all hype one another and their endeavors up

Dolores

Bio/description: Afro-Latina. Romantic. Listens more than she speaks

Following: Poetry and writing accounts; her favorite artists (music, etc.), especially other Afro-Latinx artists; natural hair stylists

Luisa

Bio/description: (Mirabel wrote hers) Hi!!! I’m Luisa (she/her). I love my family and helping people, and like to stay super, super fit! I’m sorry, but I can’t accept requests for assistance via DM. Photos of puppies are always welcome, though!

Following: accounts that post about dogs, dog photos, etc. (e.g. Thoughts of Dog but in Spanish); fitness and weight training accounts; accounts that post affirmations and positivity (quotes and things)

Camilo

Bio/description: Making you laugh with my jokes and impressions and cry over my beauty and voice 🎭

Following: Trinidad Cardona and other singers; actors, comedians, films/theatre accounts; food accounts; he once made a fake account for either Isabela or Dolores. His parents put a stop to that real quick (the girls teamed up to get back at him)

Mirabel

Bio/description: Quiubo! I’m Mirabel (she/her), 15, Colombiana 🇨🇴 Blogs about Colombia, my tío’s rat telenovelas, sewing and DIY crafts, magical realism, animals, and other things

Following: sewing and craft accounts, all of her interests listed above; probably fandom stuff too

Antonio

Not on social media

Thank you for the ask, @mmollymercury! I hope I did alright 💚

Mirabel's Super Secret Adventure

Movie AU

Chapter Preview: Dolores blinked, a glimmer of something passing over her face before it went blank. Mirabel waited, but Dolores didn’t respond.

“Oh come on, you have to know something! Tío Bruno and Tía Leandra were talking about it just last night. And there’s no way you haven’t heard Tío Bruno wandering in the walls,” Mirabel pressed.

Prologue Prev Next Masterlist

4. Hear No Evil

Mirabel dropped the bundle of clothes off in her room then rushed out the door. She needed to talk to Dolores pronto, not because she had some sort of deadline, but because the mystery of it all was the most interesting thing to have happened to her ever.

She made it two steps out of her room and almost barreled into Abuela.

“Oh,” she quickly took a step back.

“Mirabel, careful,” Abuela admonished, “you’ll hurt yourself.”

“Right, sorry Abuela.”

“Where are you going in such a hurry?”

“Oh, um, I actually wanted to talk to you!” Mirabel put on her biggest grin, “Luisa and I wanted to have a cousins’ day in her pool next week, to welcome Mariano into the family.”

“What a marvelous idea,” Abuela clapped her hands together once, “I will talk to Luisa tonight, so we can iron out the details.”

“Um, I-I could plan it,” Mirabel said, daring to hope for a second, even though she knew what Abuela was going to say next.

“Oh no Mirabel, don’t trouble yourself, Luisa and I will take care of everything.”

“But-.”

“Now, aren’t you supposed to be getting some rest?” Abuela asked, gently putting her hand on Mirabel’s shoulder to guide her back towards the nursery.

“I-.”

“Sleep well,” she said with a warm smile as she bustled off to get things done. Mirabel watched her go, then sighed deeply. It was for the best, she told herself, she had stuff to do anyways.

Once Abuela was gone, Mirabel turned to the nearest wall and asked, “Alright Casita, where’s Dolores?”

Casita shook the floorboards one by one, leading up to Dolores’ door. Mirabel took a deep breath, reminded herself she had a mystery to solve, and jogged over to the door. She knocked out a little tune besides Dolores’ face, reclaiming some of her dampened enthusiasm.

Then she waited.

It took long enough that Mirabel had already raised her hand to knock again, when the door opened, revealing Tío Bruno.

“Tío Bruno,” Mirabel gasped, then tried to cover her shock by leaning against the railing and asking, “‘sup?”

Tío Bruno blinked owlishly at her for a couple beats, then shrugged his shoulders minutely and said, “Not much.”

“Right,” Mirabel nodded, and gave her uncle finger guns.

“Did uh, did you want to talk to Dolores?”

“I- sí, b-but I mean I can come back if-.”

“No,” Dolores suddenly appeared behind Tío Bruno, “Tío Bruno was just heading out.”

“Dolores,” Bruno sighed, a note of warning in his voice.

“Thank you, Tío Bruno, but I’m fine,” she said, quiet as ever, but nonetheless firm.

Tío Bruno huffed, and walked away grumbling, “At this rate I might as well change my name to Cassandra.”

Mirabel couldn’t help but give him a sympathetic smile as he passed her by, which he returned with a sort of exhausted fondness. When she looked back at Dolores, she was staring after Bruno, brows furrowed and eyes shiny.

Then, very abruptly, Dolores turned to Mirabel and said, “If this is about the pool party, I’ll have to sit it out. I think I’m coming down with something.”

“Oh, actually I wanted to ask-. Um. I mean, we can push it back a week so you-.”

“That’s fine.”

“Are you sure?”

“Sí.”

“Bien,” Mirabel said slowly, drawing the single syllable out so Dolores would have a chance to change her mind.

Instead, Dolores asked, “You wanted to talk about something else?”

“Oh, um, yeah. I-,” it took a beat for her to get her mind back on track, “what do you know about the cracks?”

Dolores blinked, a glimmer of something passing over her face before it went blank. Mirabel waited, but Dolores didn’t respond.

Dolores sighed through her nose, “I know that Tío Bruno can’t figure out what’s causing them. He’s come up with hundreds of theories since-, over the years.”

“Anything else?”

Dolores shook her head minutely, eyes flicking beyond Mirabel’s shoulder then back to her face. Mirabel looked behind her, but couldn’t tell what Dolores had glanced at. All she saw was the opposite wall and the nursery door.

“How long ago did they start appearing?” Mirabel asked.

She shrugged, “They were already happening the day I got my gift. But they used to close before anyone noticed them, I thought it was just-. Casita doesn’t seem to mind so I didn’t think there was anything wrong until Tío Bruno started looking for them.”

“When did he start looking for them?”

Instead of answering the question, she frowned, staring at Mirabel for a long time. Suddenly she stepped back into her room and held the door open. Slowly, feeling a bit unsure, Mirabel walked through the door.

Dolores’ room was the epitome of coziness, most of it was covered in soft surfaces such as floor rugs, throw blankets, and tapestries. Somewhere behind one of those tapestries was what Camilo jokingly referred to as Dolores’ Sanctum of Silence, but nobody knew which one. And if somebody did happen to find the secret entrance, it would change locations. It made for a room that felt as quiet and secretive as Dolores herself.

The only exception was the airy window seat crammed between two bookshelves on the wall farthest from the door.

When the door was gently closed behind her, Mirabel turned to give her cousin an expectant look, only to find Dolores staring contemplatively at her hand on the doorknob.

“When I first got my gift, Tío Bruno told Má not to let me listen to the Floréz farm. When she asked why, he told her that the eldest Floréz and his wife had been tricking Tío Bruno into having visions of them having sex ever since they got married,” she said, without looking up.

“What? Why?!”

“Some people like being watched, or listened to,” Dolores said, casually, as if this was no big deal, then she continued, “they started calling my name, saying they had a message for Abuela about the monthly coffee delivery or something, anything to get me to listen to them. I would tell my Má and she would thunder, drowning everything else out. One day Pá went over to their house and after that they never did it again, but they also stopped giving us our monthly order of coffee.”

“That’s horrible,” Mirabel whispered.

Dolores just shrugged, she had a little bit more to tell, “Abuela figured out they were mad at us and demanded to know why. Má and Papa were worried about how she would take… whatever it is Pá did to make them stop. Then… Tío Bruno told her it was because he’d given them a bad vision. She made him apologize to them.”

Dolores paused for a long time, and Mirabel stood there, waiting. She knew Dolores must have some point, some reason for telling her this. Although she wasn’t sure she wanted to hear it.

“Tío Bruno-. At the time I didn’t know why he did that, and I didn’t understand why he had to apologize. Even if he had given them a bad vision, it wouldn’t have been his fault,” Dolores finally looked up at Mirabel, giving her an intense look, “but it doesn’t matter if something is his fault, he’ll always be blamed anyways. That’s what happens when-, if you can’t live up to the village's expectations…”

Mirabel examined Dolores’ face, knowing her cousin was trying to tell her something, but not sure what. Dolores stared back, as if waiting for Mirabel to have an epiphany. Then she sighed and looked away again.

“Mirabel, let Tío Bruno worry about the cracks,” Dolores opened her door again, a clear dismissal, “for as long as you can.”

Mirabel’s feet carried her forward, through the door, even though she had about a hundred more questions. It was clear from the look on Dolores’ face that there would be no answers. The second Mirabel was out of the room, the door snapped shut behind her.

She stood, dumbfounded and twice as confused as she had been minutes ago.

Eventually, she came to the conclusion that she had no other choice. Luisa’s room had been a bust, Dolores wasn’t helping, so she may as well try Isabela. She just needed to find her first.

When Mirabel knocked on Isabela’s door there was no answer, but she was pretty sure Isabela’s only chore for the day was to stay home and get ready to be proposed to. So where else would Isabella go? She wasn’t in the kitchen, nor the back garden. Camilo was gone for the day so she wasn’t hanging out with him.

She asked Casita, but Casita just directed her back to the back door, so Mirabel checked the garden again. Still no primadona big sisters.

Mirabel looked over at Tía Leandra’s soap making shed. Apparently she used to have a soap making cave in Tío Bruno’s tower, but hadn’t had a way to keep young children out of it. Nobody felt great about having large amounts of lye sitting around the house where any small child might find it, so Casita had made a shed in the back garden that Tía Leandra kept locked when she wasn’t using it. She sold the soap in the market, one of the few sources of actual money for the Madrigal family.

The village generally traded for most everything, and most agreed that Julieta standing around the town square, healing people all day was worth a regular supply of things like fruit, vegetables, flour, and other such staples. For non-essentials like coffee (although Tío Bruno had made a pretty good case for coffee being considered an essential) Tía Pepa traded rainy days and sunshine. The non-essentials required more negotiating than the essentials, but not near as much as things like fabric and furniture, that stuff was given mostly in exchange for Luisa’s help around the village or visions from Tío Bruno.

In addition to bringing in some cash, Tía Leandra made all the soap the family needed, and had a close relationship with the goat herder since he’d apprenticed under her father, thus getting them free cheese. Tío Félix was technically supposed to inherit the mill, but had agreed to let his little brother, Felípe, take it so long as the Madrigals got a cut of the mill's profits. Her Pá was the son of an accountant (and the town’s de facto treasurer) and often traded his financial expertise for whatever his “clients”, mostly the town merchants, could offer. And recently, Camilo had taken to trading his time as a babysitter in a similar vein. But the main breadwinner in the family was actually Tío Bruno.

Once a month he invited anyone in the village who wished to attend to watch a future scientific discovery in the sandy riverbed. At the end, if he had the energy, he would allow the audience to vote on a previous vision to re-watch. Since the tablet would be a duplicate he didn’t feel bad smashing it up and selling it to either the local jeweler or the town’s merchants.

If Mirabel could, she would happily sell some of her embroidery to help support the family, but any time she brought it up Abuela told her not to worry about it. It was all Mirabel could do to get Abuela to let her help with the family’s tailoring needs.

Mirabel and Isabela used to spend a lot of time in Tía Leandra’s shed, Isabela growing whatever herbs Mirabel demanded so they could experiment with different combinations (under close adult supervision from their Tía, of course). But that was a long time ago, back when Isabela was still nice to her.

The shed was unlocked, the door slightly ajar. It was sort of a long shot, but it was possible Isabela was helping their Tía make her soaps.

So, Mirabel drifted closer, reaching for the door.

“There’s nothing wrong with that,” Tía Leandra said to somebody inside.

Then, just as Mirabel’s fingers grazed the door handle she heard Isabela say in a defensive tone, “I’m not saying there is! I just… if Tío Bruno likes both, then I could like both too.”

Mirabel frowned, cocking her head. Like both of what?

“You could like both, true, but do you?”

“I-. Why are you trying to talk me out of this?”

“Because you’re my niece and I love you and I want you to be happy,” Tía Leandra said, her voice strained with how much pleading she’d imbued into it.

“I will be happy, Mariano is a great guy.”

Mirabel’s eyebrows almost jumped off her face.

“He is, sí. A bit thick for my taste, but there isn’t a shred of malice in his entire meaty body. But that’s not in question here. The question on the table is, do you want to marry him?”

Then there was a long resounding silence. Mirabel kept waiting for Isabela to say yes, of course she wanted to marry Mariano, she was in love with him. However after five seconds of silence, she realized that answer wasn’t coming.

After ten seconds of silence, Isabela sighed, “Well, it’s not like I can marry-. Mariano is my friend, a-and he’ll make a good father. And it’s what’s best for the Encanto.”

“Ay, so you’ve said, but that’s-. You know what! You need another perspective, you need to talk to somebody your own age about this,” Tía Leandra said, voice suddenly very bright and cheerful, “how about you talk to Dolores! Tell her you’re not in love with him.”

“I can’t do that.”

“Why not?”

“Dolores has been, I don’t know, she’s been really sad about something lately. She won’t tell me what,” Isabela hedged, “I don’t want to pile my problems onto her too.”

There was another long pause.

“Um, Tía, are you alright?”

“Fantastic,” Tía Leandra said, voice too high and cheery to be genuine, “will you excuse me, I need to have a conversation with my husband about something.”

“You’re not going to tell anyone, right? You and Tío Bruno promised.”

There was a very noisy sigh, that may or may not have been released through Tía Leandra’s teeth, “No, but I think you should. Starting with Dolores. Excuse me.”

Mirabel should have realized that Tía Leandra essentially saying “excuse me while I go talk to Bruno” meant she was about to open the door and walk out of the shed. She should have moved out of the way if she didn’t want to be caught eavesdropping. She should have walked away the second she realized how private this conversation was.

But she didn’t.

So, when Tía Leandra opened the door with a box of finished soaps on her wide shoulder and Isabela trailing at her heels, Mirabel was standing dumbstruck.

Mirabel gaped at Isabela.

Isabela stared back in horror.

Unnoticed by either of them, Tía Leandra looked heavenward and mouthed “Gracias.”

Then the shouting began.
