Are There Any Encanto AU Comics Online?

Oh, the world of 'Encanto' AUs is absolutely thriving online! I've stumbled upon so many creative twists on the Madrigal family's story, from fan comics to illustrated snippets that reimagine everything from their powers to alternate timelines. One of my favorite finds was a comic where Mirabel actually does get a door ceremony, but her gift turns out to be something wildly unexpected—like the ability to communicate with animals, which leads to chaos when the casita’s rats start giving her gossip about the family. There’s also this adorable series where Bruno never left, and instead becomes the family’s reluctant therapist, doling out awkward but heartfelt advice during dinner.

Platforms like Tumblr, Twitter (or X, whatever we’re calling it now), and Archive of Our Own are goldmines for this stuff. Some artists even dive into darker AUs, like a ‘what if the miracle candle did go out?’ scenario, where the family has to rebuild their magic from scratch. The beauty of these comics is how they stretch the original story’s themes—whether it’s exploring Camilo’s identity struggles more deeply or giving Dolores a romance subplot that doesn’t involve eavesdropping on Mariano. It’s like the fandom collectively decided one movie wasn’t enough and just… expanded the universe themselves. I’ve lost hours scrolling through these, and every time I think I’ve seen them all, someone posts a fresh take that hooks me again.
