    Summary

    When Stan opens the door to Ford's house, he's met with a crossbow to the face. He knocks his attacker out, only to find out that it was Ford all along. When Ford wakes up a few seconds later as someone Stan doesn't recognize, Stan has no idea that there's anything supernatural happening at all until a few days later!

    Eventually, Stan has to juggle working with a forgetful stranger, outwitting a demonic triangle, preventing the end of the world, and -- most daunting of all -- reconciling with his estranged brother. He's got this. Hopefully.

    Summary

    When I do convince you to give me a brief respite, you conserve me in a statue of gold, quite literally at your right hand. That’s not the behavior of someone who wants me gone.

    Summary

    This is all so disconcerting that Bill Cipher--scourge of realms, destroyer of worlds, a monster and a demon and a being of pure, evil chaos--actually blurts out the first thing that comes to mind, which is the truth, or at least part of it.

    "Your stupid uncle DUMPED ME!!!!" he wails, glowing red with miserable rage.

     

    Or: Mabel has GOT THIS.

    Summary

    Stanley Pines, age 26, wakes up in a park to a nerd staring at him. The kid says his name is Dipper and that he's on a mission to reunite Stan with his brother. Stan doesn't really want to do this, but Dipper is offering to pay, and he says his brother is in trouble. Stanley will always help Stanford, no matter what shit has happened in the past, so he sets off.

    Stanford Pines, age 26, wakes up in his house to a teenage girl chatting with his friend, Fiddleford McGucket. The girl- Mabel, supposedly- knows all about his muse and their dalliances because she is, also supposedly, his great-niece from the future. While he does not want to reunite with Stanley necessarily, she essentially blackmails him into being nice when he arrives. Because apparently Stanley is coming to his house. Joy.

    (Dipper and Mabel, on the eve of their 18th birthday, are sent back in time to their Grunkles 1 year before the portal is completed. They both, separately and then together, work to fix the mistakes of the past. Featuring a matchmaking Mabel and a scam artist icon Dipper.)
