False Friends by IvyLee

Summary
In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.
In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:
1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.
Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

Summary
Bruno wants to have a nice night at the local bar, enjoying the music, having a drink, hitting someone up and maybe spending the night together, just like regular people do and have been doing for years while he was... otherwise preoccupied with much saintlier things. Especially since he's never had the chance or the excuse, his reputation being what it was.
When he runs into Osvaldo. Sweet, kinda oblivious, happy-go-lucky Osvaldo. He thinks he's got some hope.

“average Encanto villager rolls in 3 cacti a year” factoid actually just statistical error. average person rolls in 0 cacti per year. cactus miguel, who rolls in 10,000 prickly pear every day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Summary
Bruno’s abilities encompass more about time than seeing into the future- not that anyone bothered to let him know. He doesn't exactly have a seer manual on what to do after you drag your dead father 50 years into the future.
—-
If it wasn't bad enough that Bruno's gift was going haywire, his niece had discovered him, and the casita was cracking, a strangely familiar man appears in Bruno's hideaway, begging for help and bleeding to death. He says his name is Pedro. What a strange coincidence.- Language:

Summary

One day, prompted by a vision of the future, José left the Encanto to become a priest. His return some thirty years later with a fresh group of refugees stirs feelings both long forgotten and never before considered.

Summary
“You didn’t get a Gift?” Cecilia asked quietly, looking suddenly near tears.
Bruno shrugged. “Nope,” he said.
Sierra looked between Bruno, Mirabel and the mural. “If I was you, I’d be really sad,” she said.
Mirabel tried not to wince. Kids were often sweet, but also very very blunt.
If it had been Mirabel, she would have made light of it. She would have tried to distract the kids with a joke or reassure them that of course she wasn’t sad.
But Tio Bruno only stared blankly at the mural for one long moment. He turned to the kids and shrugged again with a wry smile.
“You get used to it,” he said.
***
In this world, the Gifts are all different, but you know how the old saying goes: this changes everything and nothing at all. Mirabel may have a Gift, but Bruno doesn't and Isabela is hiding a major secret in a desperate attempt to protect everyone.
And, as always, la familia Madrigal is crumbling under expectations of perfection.
The cracks are still emerging and it all comes down to an uncertain prophecy, with Mirabel, Isabela and Bruno at the centre.

Summary
Bruno donned his ceremonial robe. It felt only right to honor them in some way. He felt they deserved at least that. Even though there was little resemblance between him and the animals, tiny as they were, they still came from him. Had they been bigger and fewer they might have passed for human babies. Their tails resembled his own rat tail and could be explained away as passed down from their- from him, even if he and his family had come by their animal features through magic.
There was nothing that connected him and the rats to each other, other than that they were his, and that Bruno loved them very much.

Summary
Without question the Madrigals were the most remarkable family in town, but they were not alone: there was the generous and outgoing Martinez clan, the outsider Córdobas, and the proud, refined Guzmáns. The four families form alliances, rivalries, influence one another for better or worse, and - over time - become one.

Summary
Growing up in the close-knit community of the Encanto, Bruno Madrigal is many things to many people: a dutiful and difficult son, a loyal, irritating brother, a shining star, a lurking menace, a dear friend, a familiar mystery, and an object of scorn.

Summary
Perhaps you’ve heard the legend. Perhaps you know the story. Perhaps you’ve even heard the infamous phrase, “In a single day and night of misfortune, the island of Encanto disappeared into the depths of the sea.”
It was not quite a day and a night. It barely took an hour. But who can blame Plato for a little twist to the tale? It made for good story-telling. Who didn’t love a good mystery?
It was a story. It was a myth. It was a fairytale.
Wasn’t it?
*
Thousands of years ago, Encanto disappeared beneath the sea. Now, Agustín and Félix have been hired to find the lost empire and the mysterious source of its rumoured magic: The Madrigal Miracle.
Encanto is waiting and so are the royal triplets, led by Bruno's vision of the explorers- but treachery lurks around every corner and the answers they seek may lead them all into further danger.
