It occurred to me that I should make some sort of list of my current fics, so in order of completeness/amount of content:
You Try to Stop it Toppling but On and On it Goes: complete! pre-movie, angsty Bruno-centric oneshot of the events that led to him deciding to leave. (Feat: Bruno was the family’s first go-to babysitter and he was awesome at it.)
Patching the Cracks: ongoing, takes place both before and after the events of the movie, mostly slice of life but it’s developing a bit of a plot despite my best intentions. Referenced in my other fics even though some of the details are mutually exclusive. The Fic That Started It All. (Feat: everybody gets to bond with Bruno.)
In the Fullness of Time: complete! post-movie, emotional hurt/comfort oneshot, Bruno gets to be angry about his trauma (without Alma bashing) and talk it out with Agustín. (Feat: me continuing to push my “Bruno and Agustín have a brother relationship” agenda, and Bruno gets a new ruana.)
Fractured, Muted, Falling: ongoing, during/post-movie, Bruno protects Mirabel when casita falls. Painful emotions (also painful literal injuries) and hugs are had. Angst with a happy ending, shorter chapters than most of the others. (Feat: I drop a house on Bruno, it’s pretty much what it says on the tin. Also Alma redemption because I can’t help myself.)
The Stars Don’t Shine, They Burn: ongoing, taking a look at Camilo’s identity problems/family trauma and subsequent bonding with his weird uncle who can spot emotional trauma from 100 paces and is like “holy CRAP this kid needs therapy.” (Feat: a bit of a Camilo character study. I have some hurt/comfort planned for this one but it isn’t written yet).
Five Times Bruno Stole from his Family, and One Time he Didn’t Have to: ongoing, 1/6 chapters written. Slightly on haitus but the chapter that’s up actually makes a pretty decent oneshot. (Feat: Bruno has some regrets, angst with an eventual happy ending)
Please note: none of these will ever include shipping between Madrigals (except obviously the married ones).
Please also note: Works on haitus are not listed, these are just the fics I’m actively working on in my active hyperfixation. Which at the moment is Encanto. Obviously.
