Description
Spoiler alert for Encanto, obviously. What if Mirabel never came back? What if Abuela never came looking for her at the river? What if the magic was never restored? After the collapse of their home and the destruction of their miracle, Mirabel leaves the town that she had lived in her entire life along with Bruno, and creates a new life for herself and her uncle in the wide world beyond the encanto. Twenty years later, she's happy, healthy, and even has a family of her own. A family totally unaware of her strange, magical past. She's more than happy to leave the Madrigals behind and just forget about it all, but Bruno wants to go see his family one last time, and he wants Mirabel to go with him. Thus begins their journey back to the home they left behind, and Mirabel is forced to sort out all of her mixed feelings about her family, because after all, how could she stay away? I will be putting any content warnings in the beginnings of each chapter. None of the characters are original except for Daniel and Julieta Garcia. (Also I'm sorry, I don't know how to do accented letters on my computer, so if anyone knows how please let me know)
