#like did you miss the devastating scene about alma's trauma???

[space-ghost-with-the-most]

I've been getting invested in your papa of two au, and I was just thinking, in the version where the twins have no idea Bruno's their father and simply think they're close cousins, a part of me likes to imagine that scene at the end where Abuela's being hard on Mirabel and blaming her for the magic with maybe a small slip in her rant that doesn't say the truth, but doesn't exactly fit into the lie they've been told. Or maybe she's going a bit harder than she does in canon because of what she knows and starts blowing up at Camilo as well when he inevitably tries to defend Mirabel, especially when they bring up Bruno.

Except Bruno's hearing it all from the walls and decides enough's enough and bursts from his hiding place for the first time in years to defend his kids, or take the blame for himself, because he's used to being the scapegoat, but he refuses to stand by and listen to his kids be berated just for trying to help. He doesn't even care anymore what his mother's thinking of him or will, but he doesn't want either of his kids to ever feel like he did.

I am so sorry this took so long to respond too!! Oh I love this, thanks to the We Need to Talk About Bruno Server, I have so many idea's rattling around my little brain about the au. Abuela would definitely be harder on Mirabel during the fight than in canon. Mirabel is the twin that looks the most like Bruno, her precious son, who resembles Pedro so much. She doesn't know why Bruno left the family, why Mirabel wasn't given a gift, but she's lashing out at the only thing keeping her going being threatened.

"Bruno left because of you two! Bruno didn't care about this family, didn't care about you!" Mirabel would be so confused on the emphasis on her and eventually Camilo who jumps into the fight, who's also confused. The slip up isn't that too big though, their more pressed over the years of build-up of generational trauma. (I don't think Bruno would jump out, he's more terrified of the walls cracking around him bc Casita is falling down) Casita falls down, and then Bruno comes out. Since Mirabel ran off, Camilo ran after her, leaving both the twins missing, making the illusion that they didn't get out, leaving Bruno devastated. The only hope is Dolores seeing Camilo run off, so they start searching. Alma finds the twins, has the hug butterfly scene and then Bruno arrives. He goes all off and this time Alma can't interrupt him because he's too worked up, and he vents all his frustrations just to protect them. And then she hugs him and they go back, and eventually Pepa and Julieta are like "bitch tell your kids!"

Which leads to another set of problems for another time <3
