#Gideon x Mabel

Gideon really loves Mabel??
A while ago, I wondered this... Because while I was debating with my brother about the couple that Dipper deserved (if Pacifica for the comics or Wendy for the chemistry between the two)
At that moment I remembered that Mabel was never presented with a worthwhile romance... I mean Mermando was a wonderful choice, but he's already married (unfortunately) and my brother corrected me by telling me that Gideon is the "partner" Mabel needed to meet.
I thought my brother was joking... I didn't think he was talking about the same kid who tried to sabotage/murder Stan and Dipper (and even Mabel herself) just because she didn't want to be his "Queen"...
But he told me that in reality, if Gideon worked as a parallel to Dipper where Gideon never had someone to shut up his damn ego. Dipper had Mabel, who functions as the heart and Dipper is the mind and reason. (Mabel made him prioritize human contact and the heart over the ego)
Gideon only had his father (we don't know what really happened with his mother), who actually fed his ego and never brought him down to earth. When they first met, I thought he loved her superficially and when she refused to be with him, then Gideon lost his mind and started seeing her as a whim or a trophy he had to win. (yes, exactly what Alex said about Dipper and Wendy).
At no point in the second season do we see Gideon with a charge of conscience or with a real desire to improve. That's when we guess that Gideon most likely asked Bill to lock Mabel in the Bubble, (probably because Bill promised not to hurt her when the Weirdmaggedon started). But we also learned that NO ONE, not even Gideon, had entered the Bubble.
That's the strange thing, if Gideon was truly evil and not just a spoiled child, he would have entered the Bubble with every intention of blackmailing Mabel. Something like "If you won't be my queen, then I can get you out of here" or "If you don't want to be mine, then I'll visit your brother or uncle, Bill will be happy to see them."
But no, Gideon preferred to keep Mabel unspoiled and ignorant of the horrible chaos outside. As if keeping her safe was his priority instead of making her "pay for her rejections."
When Dipper talks to Gideon, he tells him that Mabel doesn't love him because he's selfish, but that he can change that and if Mabel were there, how would she want him to act?
And that's when Gideon asks if Mabel knows about the sacrifice he was about to make. Upon getting an answer, Gideon decides he's going to bet his life, and leads his warriors into battle AGAINST BILL, a being MUCH MUCH more powerful than him, just to give Dipper time to save Mabel... Gideon is genuinely in love with Mabel, he just needs a better guide to leave his selfish self behind...
I think Gideon is fully AWARE that a betrayal of the God of Destruction could cost him his life, but he knows that saving Mabel and all of Gravity Falls was something worth trying for.

So I binged all of "Gravity falls" and finished it last week. And out of all the amazing moments that I love so much, the one that I keep replaying is in the finale, when Gideon - who has basically been a villain the entire run of the show, is about to do something good to help everyone and redeem himself - says to Dipper "...Dipper, will you tell her what I did?"
HE STILL WANTED MABEL TO THINK WELL OF HIM
It was never a power move to take over Stan's property, he courted Mabel because he GENUINELY CARED ABOUT HER and after EVERYTHING he'd put them through, everything he'd done, still cared about her and what she thought of him!!! <3<3<3
IT WAS SO FRICKIN' SWEET AND I SWEAR IT ALMOST MADE ME CRY

Prom-cifica (& friends) headcanons:
Lakefoam green, obv
Pacifica goes to GFHS for high school instead of continuing at her private school, but only after she threatened her parents with telling all the other rich kids' families about the Northwest drama if they made her go.
Yes, she's prom queen thank you very much. she's trying so hard to seem surprised and gracious about it but truthfully she was pretty sure she would win. old habits die hard. (but she doesn't win because she's a mean girl, she wins because she's actually very well-liked. and blonde and pretty, I mean, it is high school.)
Dipper makes her corsage himself (with a lot of help from Mabel) using pine tree needles (get ittt??) and a single red rose that he is still scared is "like, way too much and is definitely going to freak her out." (it doesn't. the needles are kind of itchy and sticky, but she loves it and keeps it in a memory box after the night)
Mabel really wants to go but since she and Dipper don't go to GFHS she needs a date who does. Gideon is only TOO happy to step up, but Mabel only agrees to go with him after he writes and signs a declaration stating he understands it will only be as friends. (he doesn't.)
Grenda is sad at first because it looks like Marius won't make it after all, but he ends up pulling in last minute in a helicopter blowing everyone's minds a la Romy & Michelle.
Wendy agrees to chaperone but only so she can (affectionately, in a friendly way) make fun of Robbie's band, who somehow swung the gig. (they're terrible and Wendy ends up saving the day with her iPod and an aux cord.)
The gnomes have decided this would be a great place to find a new queen so they reconfigure themselves into Norman, though it prove fruitless as Shmebulock is inexplicably chosen to be the head, and he's just not great at conversation. They're all pretty good on the dance floor though.
I really really want to write a prom ficlet but have no ideas for mini plots, character arcs, internal/external conflict etc. sooo

Reader That Can Bake
Tumblr media
Words: 1757
Includes: Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Ford, Wendy, Gideon, Pacifica and Bill
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Honestly, he doesn’t have the biggest sweet tooth, but being young he still craves them a bit.
Knows the basics about baking in general but only with box sets, so he’ll stay out of your way in the kitchen.
Won't ever decline anything you give him, opting to either eat them right then and there, or hide them for later. (And away, safe from Mabel.)
Normally whenever he heard the sounds of someone in the kitchen, assuming it was Mabel, he would walk the other way immediately. But now that you’re spending more time in there he’ll take the gamble of peeking in, hoping it was you baking and not Mabel ready to drag him in.
This time he was lucky, finding you washing up all your used dishes and putting away the leftover ingredients. Standing in the doorway until you noticed, waving him over. “Dipper, you’re just in time!” Hopping on the spot as you stepped out of the way, revealing a whole bunch of cooled cookies.
“I tried some different flavours this time,” Grabbing one of each to shove into his hands, which he almost dropped. “There's classic chocolate chip, white chocolate, uhh… What else?” As you rambled and thought he took a bite of each, silently ranking them favourite to least favourite, not that he’d ever tell you.
“And oh! Hazelnuts, oreos and s'mores!” “You made s’more cookies?” “Yeah, this one was a small batch, I’ll get more stuff tomorrow.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
While yes, she bakes pretty often, you’ll always be the better chef around! (And she’s not afraid to admit it, sometimes.)
This girl will never shut up about ‘How good these are!’ ‘Even Waddles loves them!’ (It’s true, you have found him scarfing down a whole pile of your baked goods.)
Occasionally (And if you let her) she’ll join you, while she enjoys baking just spending time together is enough for her.
As soon as the door opened Mabel ran off, skidding into the doorframe. Smelling something very familiar and delicious. “ARE YOU BAKING AGAIN!” Your only response was to laugh, of course she would notice, really, you’d be an idiot thinking she wouldn’t.
“Yeah, they’re in the oven right now, so I’m just cleaning up.” “I’LL HELP!” God, she was excited about your baking. “Why don’t you pile up the dirty dishes while I start the sink.” In no time you had finished the dishes, everything was clean, dried and put away.
Reaching for a hanging cabinet, but this one was just out of reach. Stretching to your limit but unable to grasp the handle, about to turn around and ask Mabel for help only to be jolted upwards. Looking down to find Mabel's toothy grin looking right back atcha.
“Whatcha grabbing? More dishes? Decorations? Is it the icing? SPRINKLES!?” Laughing once again as you grabbed, as you could guess (And Mabel.) the icing and sprinkles. Being dropped back down when you had the items. “I think they’re ready for the toppings.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Stan doesn’t go around flaunting his love for baked goods, but he doesn’t really hide it either.
But he does openly compliment anything you make, even if it’s not his favourite, he’ll make it positive.
He may not like to spend a lot of money on anything really, but he’ll throw you a wad of cash to buy whatever you need. (As long as he gets the first taste test.)
“Where ya going toots?” Arms wrapped around your waist, his head sitting on your head. One of your hands held your car keys, well, they were Stans but he’s given you permission to take the ‘Stanmobile’ out. “Gotta buy some more ingredients.”
His body pulled away from yours, hands digging into his suit pockets before pulling out a decent wad of cash. Grabbing a few notes (Which were 100s btw) and passing them over to you, “Make me my favourite later.” “Oh I will~”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He’ll scarf down plates full of your stuff, he hasn’t eaten anything this good in years! (And no he is not exaggerating, thank you!)
Always takes something with him on every adventure he goes on. (At first he was nervous to ask, but now he’ll try to ‘bribe’ you for anything. (Both of you know he doesn’t need to.))
Part of him is curious about how well supernatural ingredients would go, he would never force you to do it, but that means he would. So at least watch over him. (But by gods, don’t let him eat anything he makes. Who knows what would happen, and you don’t want to know.)
Hearing the front door slam open you peeked out of the living room, only to find Ford stumbling by, into the kitchen with a large box. After gently shutting the door (With this amount of abuse you don’t think it’ll last much longer.) you followed him, watching him pull and lay out plenty of things on the counter.
“Hope you were going to clean up after yourself?” “AH!” Throwing something between his hands for a few seconds before calming down, “Oh! Y/N, I was, don't you worry.” “With everything you brought in here? I will.”
Quietly laughing to himself, “I don’t blame you, but how well would these bake?” “Ford, honey, I just bake, you’re the one who knows about these guys.” Gesturing to the box, “I guess you’re right.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Very similar to Stan in the sense, she won’t go out of her way to admit her love for sweeter things but will if asked.
If you’re willing to make more she’ll take a bunch for her friends. (They all love them, even if some won’t admit it.)
Brings some to work with her, which makes her shifts actually bearable.
“I’ll see you guys later.” Lifting her hand as a quick wave before turning to leave, “Wendy!” Looking back to find Lee rushing towards her, skidding to stop just before hitting her. Throwing her a now empty container, which surprisingly enough, was still in one piece. “You gotta bring more of those snacks, they were amazing!”
“I’ll let them know.” Now that she was finally able to leave the group, she started her tract home. Pulling out her phone to send you a quick message, nothing much really. (It was a whole paragraph.) Watching you respond, pause then send the message, along with a picture. ‘Already ahead of you!’
Tapping into the image to find you back in the kitchen, flour covered every surface. There were other ingredients on the floor and everything, really. She couldn’t stop her laughter, taking a pause in her steps to catch her breath. ‘I’m on my way, don’t make a bigger mess.’
Luckily she wasn’t that far from home, and it was also a good thing that her family loved you. (They wouldn’t let you live down that image.) Letting her spend the night to help you clean and finish baking.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Absolutely will not go anywhere near the kitchen when you’re in there. (He may love you, but he also loves being clean.)
This doesn’t stop him from rushing in the second everything is cleaned up, impatiently waiting until the food is finished. (You will have to stop him from eating them hot, because he will whine about being burned.)
Will never share them with anyone else, the only exception is at the Tent of Telepathy.
Placing the hot tray onto a cooling rack before shutting the oven door, it’s been hours since you started baking. As Gideon wanted some baked goods to hand out to anyone who comes by the Tent of Telepathy, and that meant you had to bake it all.
Although he made sure to pay you for it, so it wasn’t a complete loss. But that's when you heard a door slam open and footsteps running down the hall, watching as Gideon entered the room. His first stop was the currently cooling tray of cookies, not the others that were cool and in containers.
“Gideon do–” It was too late, his hand touched the tray first. “OW!” Guiding the hand under some running water as he complained, “Why were they hot?” “I just pulled them out from the oven, those ones,” Pointing at multiple containers put to the side, “Are for you.”
Huffing as he removes his hand from the water to dry it off, grabbing the containers before leaving the room.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Honestly, she never thought about baking in general really. (There’s always been butlers or chefs, or whatever to do it for her.)
Doesn’t have the biggest sweet tooth, but will eat any of your less sweet items. (It better not be messy, otherwise she’ll (lovingly) wipe it on you.)
Sometimes she’ll sit around and watch you bake, she secretly finds it interesting but it’s highly likely she won’t join you for a while.
“What did you make this time?” Even as her face showed disinterest her tone gave her away, “This one is funfetti!” Handing over the cupcake, watching as she made her way through the wrapper. Trying to avoid the icing, although she wasn’t successful, a small chunk smeared over her fingers.
Clearly unhappy with it, the fact you were waiting next to her and no tissues or anything nearby. Reaching over to ‘subtly’ wipe the icing onto your shirt. “HEY!” “These aren’t that bad.” “Don’t ignore me!” You tried to stand in front of her, except that she kept turning as well.
“Pacifica!” “You should probably check on the other ones.” Oh yeah, you probably should.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sometimes you forget that he can actually eat as he doesn’t do it much. (That’s until you watch him eat some deer teeth. Which is so disturbing…)
There have been so many times where he comes to bother you for some food, then just leaves with it. (You have no clue what he does with them but you can only assume someone else* is eatting them. (*Ford))
He will try to bake on his own with ‘non-human’ ingredients even if you try to stop him. (They end up inedible, even to other demons. Like fuck, he’s terrible.)
It was fucking comical how Bill entered the room, floating through the window towards the tray of cookies. Staying afloat for a few extra seconds before dropping to sit on the counter, batting his eyelashes at you. “No Bill, they’re still hot.” “WHO CARES?” Grabbing a handful (Which was like 2.) before shoving it into his mouth (Eye? Honestly man, you have no idea anymore.). “Are they good at least?” “HMM, THEY'RE ALRIGHT. COULD DO WITH SOME ꀤꈤꁅꌃꀭꀸꈤꍟꊼ.” “What.”

For the billfords kids au.
Ford and Bill at some point learn about Gideon. And how he has essentially tried to kill dipper and won't leave Mabel alone.
Mabel: Gideons being a creep again
Dipper: I'll get the broom
Ford: who?
The twins : oh right you just got here okay so-
One story time later
Ford loading a high tech weapon. Ready to be rid of a problem. ( Protective dad mode active)
Mabel: ummm does he seem...
Dipper: murdery? Yes, yes he does
Yep!
Stan was ready murder Gideon 100% in this AU no deal straight up Stan 'Soos, Wendy grab the shovels and some bags'
If Ford found, full evil scientist mode all the weapons
Stan:Sixer what are you doing
Ford: I'm going to deal with the brat who tried to kill my son and creeps out my daughter
Stan:Hold on
Ford:Stanley if your going to say i shouldn't murder a child then I have to tell you-
Stan:What, no i'm just gonna grab my car keys i'm driving you come on let's get going
Bill finding out about twins being his kids while in Stan;s mind would have him turning on Gideon instantly and uber protective dad mode activating, if he didn't and Gideon tried to summon him later... well Gideon would be scarred for life (Bill wouldn't kill him he's waiting for weridmaggedon he';'s got plans)
If Bill and Ford found out cue full evil plotting. They get totally along and work together for this.
Stan's like I should probably be concerned about this... but I really just want to get in on this.
Dipper: You know we have powers and we're never in any danger form him right?
Stan/Ford/Bill: Yeah but it's the principle
Mabel:I mean we already beat him up you guys don't to
Stan/Ford/Bill: Do you want to help us beat him up?
Dipper/Mabel:....
Dipper/Mabel:...a little yeah
This entire AU for Gideon is the 'i'm in danger meme'

I’ve got like, so many ideas
So, for the three kings story line, I basically took the Petregroff storyline, added in the origin of the lich, and then also took Betty and Marceline’s story roles, mushed them together, and then distributed different aspects of said roles evenly amongst each twin. Both Stan and Ford are half demon, Ford was Fiddleford’s college buddy who was there when he initially put the crown on, Stan journeyed with Fiddleford during the apocalypse, hunted down vampires and later became one, and now spends his days driving himself crazy trying to cure Fiddleford (and perhaps Ford too, though Stan sees that one as a more hopeless endeavor considering Fords current state of living).
Stan’s got a lot going on definitely. He’s doing both Marceline and Betty things, while assisting Dipper and Mabel (who’s birth he’s partially responsible for) with their Candy Kingdom. He’s also collecting and studying magic to help his fellow kings, and, in his spare time, playing some bluegrass, cause Fiddleford taught him how to play banjo and Stan will not let those lessons go to waste, nor will he let Fiddleford’s favorite music genre die. That being said tho, Stan’s style of music is more folkrock/folkpunk than bluegrass. (And yes, he turned the Family Axe ™️ into a banjo)

Psychic In Training ::
Chapter # 1 Tourist Trapped
Wattpad
Code, Chapter 1 (You are here)
Tumblr media
Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. - Conan Doyle
»»————- 🪬 ————-««
'Ah... Summer break, the time for parents to ship their kids off to some negligent camp to terrorize some poor 20-year-old looking for some extra cash.'
'That is... unless you're with the Pines.'
You scream as the golf cart crashes through the billboard, roughly hitting the ground before speeding up again. Glancing backward, you could see the shadow of the creature chasing you, and it seemed to be getting closer.
"Dip!" You yell, "It's gaining on us!"
"I know! This thing won't go any faster, Y/N!" The boy in front of you shouts back.
"Uhh guys," The girl next to him peaks her head out of the cart, "It's getting closer!" She shouts panicked.
"We know!" You and the boy yell at the same time.
'My name is Y/n. The sweaty boy in front of me is Dipper, and the girl beside him about to puke is Mabel.'
'Now, you probably already know why we are fleeing from some imaginable horror in a golf cart. Well I'm going to tell you anyway, and I promise, it's for a completely illogical reason.'
»»————- 🪬 ————-««
Beep. Beep. Beep.
You groan, reaching over to silence the alarm. It's the first day of summer break, but your mother insists on the 7:00 AM wake-up call.
"Y/n! The Pines are here!"
You groan louder. Your mother found a loophole after promising not to send you to camp this year. Now you're left wondering what's worse: a summer at Camp Campbell or a summer with the Pines weird uncle.
Dragging yourself out of bed, you slip into a short-sleeve turtleneck sweater and a pair of shorts, moving as slowly as you can.
"Come on, Y/n! We don't have all day!"
Grabbing your backpack on the way, you rush downstairs, where you're met with Dipper's less-than-enthusiastic expression and Mabel's overly enthusiastic grin.
It can't be that bad, right? No crazy, out-of-control adventures.
With a resigned sigh, you follow the Pines out of the house, bracing yourself for whatever this summer has in store.
»»————- 🪬————-««
"I'm pretty sure this is breaking some kind of child labor law," you mumble as you restock the blue and white pine tree hats. Off to the side, Dipper is polishing a jar of eyeballs while Mabel stalks some random customer.
"Mabe," you call out, giving her a pointed look. "Stop creeping on that poor guy and help me with these hats." Mabel just blows a raspberry at you, her focus undeterred. You turn to Dipper with a shrug. "Well, I tried. Your turn."
Dipper sighs, rolling his eyes as he sprays the jar again. "Mabel, I get that you're in your 'Boy Crazy' phase," he says, stealing a glance at the list in the customer's hand, "but you're kind of overdoing it on the 'crazy' part."
Mabel blows another raspberry, this time at Dipper. "Come on, you two!" she exclaims, bouncing over to join you. "This is our first summer away from home!"
You raise an eyebrow. "Speak for yourself, Mabe. I've been going to summer camp since I was five. It's not all it's cracked up to be-just a bunch of rules and chores." You gesture to the hats you're organizing. "This is just a slightly more illegal version of that."
Mabel crosses her arms, a smug smile spreading across her face. "Mock all you want, but I've got a feeling this summer's going to be amazing. In fact," she points dramatically to the door, "I wouldn't be surprised if the man of my dreams walked through that door right now."
The three of you turn to see Grunkle Stan walking in.
"Ha!" you snort, pointing at Mabel. "Dreamy enough for you, Mabe?" You continue laughing as Mabel cringes in disgust.
Stan strolls over, eyeing the three of you. "Alright, I need someone to go hammer up these signs in the spooky part of the forest."
"Not it!" Mabel and Dipper shout simultaneously, making you groan.
"Uh, also not it," Soos chimes in.
"Nobody asked you, Soos," Stan deadpans.
"I know, and I'm comfortable with that," Soos replies cheerfully, taking a bite out of a chocolate bar.
Stan turns back to you and the twins. "Well, since one of you was slow, you're doing it." He dumps a stack of signs into your arms. "But you've got a habit of 'getting lost,' so you'll need a companion."
Scanning the room, Stan spots Wendy at the counter. "Wendy! Help Y/n with these signs!"
Without even looking up from her magazine, Wendy replies, "I would, but I... uh... can't... uh... reach them."
Stan mutters under his breath, "I'd fire all of you if I could," before turning to Dipper. "Alright then, let's make it eeny-meeny-miney..." He points at Dipper. "You."
"What?!" Dipper protests. "Grunkle Stan, I always feel like I'm being watched when I'm in those woods." He sneaks a glance at you, lowering his voice. "And Y/n gets weird in the forest."
You shoot Dipper a glare. "Hey! I can hear you, you know..." They ignore you.
Stan gives Dipper an unimpressed look, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Ugh, not this again."
"I'm telling you, something weird is going on in this town. Just today, my mosquito bites spelled out 'beware.'" Dipper rolls up his sleeve to show Stan.
Stan squints at it. "That says 'bewarb.'"
You snicker. "Who knew mosquitoes were bad at spelling?"
Dipper lowers his arm, embarrassed, scratching at the bites. Stan shakes his head. "Look, kid, the whole 'monsters in the forest' thing is just a local legend made up by guys like me to sell merch to guys like that." He nods toward a sweating, grinning customer clutching a handful of merchandise.
"And Y/n's just... a little special. Nothing weird about it." Stan shrugs. "So quit being paranoid."
You huff, handing some of the signs to Dipper. "For the record, I can still hear you."
»»————- 🪬————-««
Hanging up the signs quickly became boring. Dipper was hammering nails into the trees so that you could hang the signs, he was muttering something about Stan not believing him.
"Could you not?" You snap, "All you do is complain, it'd be nice if you'd talk about something more pleasant for once."
Dipper shot a sharp glare your way. "Like you're any better. All you do is make snide comments and dump your work on everyone else."
You gasp, feigning offense. "When have I ever?"
Dipper's expression turned flat, clearly unimpressed.
✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
"Who shrunk my sweater!?" Mabel wailed, holding up the now tiny garment. "I told everyone this was special cotton! It needs delicate care!"
You glance up from your magazine. "Pretty sure Soos did it," you answer before returning to your reading.
Dipper stared at you before his eyes flicked to the chore list on the wall, your name plastered next to 'Laundry'.
✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
"That was one time." You defend yourself.
"No! It wasn't! That was one of multiple times!" Dipper said exasperated, placing down another nail and hammering it.
Clank
Both of you freeze, staring at the tree. Dipper taps the hammer lightly against the trunk again, confirming the odd sound. Lowering the hammer, he examines the tree closer, running his hand over the bark until he finds a small crack.
With a glance at you, he pries open the "tree."
A mechanical box with two switches sat within a hidden compartment. Dipper tests one of the controls, nothing. He flips the other switch, and next to you, a hatch suddenly opens in the ground.
You exchange a wary look with Dipper before cautiously peering inside the hatch. There, nestled within the earth, lay an old, thick book. Dust covered it completely, cobwebs clung to its edges, and millipedes skittered across its surface. The cover bore a gold six-fingered handprint, with the number "3" written on its palm.
You slowly reach for the book in the hatch, somewhat hesitate as a bad feeling sinks into your stomach.
A sharp shock runs through your hand as your fingers graze the surface of the book. The air around you seems to hum with a sudden energy, and a burning sensation spreads across your palm.
Something was drawing you towards the book, something ancient and powerful as if it had been waiting for you. The sensation sharpens, and a rush of images and whispers, flood your conscience.
"-/n! Y/n!!" With a sudden tug, you're pulled away from the book. Dipper, who was now in front of you, was gripping tightly onto your shoulders, a look of genuine worry on his face.
"What was that?" he asks, searching your face for answers. When you don't respond, he turns and reaches into the hatch, carefully pulling out the book.
He places it on the ground and opens it, eyes scanning the pages.
"It's hard to believe it's been six years since I began studying the strange and wondrous secrets of Gravity Falls, Oregon." Dipper flips through the book, each page revealing bizarre creatures and terrifying monsters.
"What is all this?" Dipper whispers in awe. You lean over his shoulder, catching a glimpse of a page that reads "TRUST NO ONE!"
"My worst fears have been confirmed. I'm being watched. I must hide this book before it's found. Remember, In Gravity Falls, you can't trust anyone."
You and Dipper exchange a tense look, a silent pact forming between you both.
"HALLO!!"
You yelp in surprise, falling backward.
Mabel was behind you, leaning over a rotten log. "What'cha reading, some nerdy thing?" she teased, trying to peek at what Dipper was hiding behind his back.
"Uh- uh- it's nothing!" Dipper stammers, shooting you a desperate look.
""Uh, uh, it's nothing!" What? Are you not gonna show me?" Mabel laughs.
Dipper looks at Mabel then the Journal then back at Mabel. "Let's... go somewhere more private."
Mabel raises an eyebrow but simply shrugs. She hops over the log and strides quickly toward you, extending a hand to help you up.
You offer her a grateful smile as you reach for her hand.
"What is that?!" Mabel exclaims, suddenly tightening her grip on your hand as she examines it closely. "When did you get a scar like this?"
Startled, you pull your hand back and stare at your palm, shocked to find a vertical eye seared into your skin.
»»————- 🪬————-««
"I can't find anything," Dipper mutters, flipping through the pages with a frustrated sigh. "There's nothing about a mysterious vertical eye appearing on someone's palm."
The three of you have ended up in the Mystery Shack's resting room. You're seated beside Mabel, while Dipper paces back and forth, rifling through the Journal's pages.
"But still, this thing is incredible!" Dipper exclaims, holding the Journal open for Mabel to see. "Grunkle Stan thinks I'm just being paranoid, but according to this book, Gravity Falls has a hidden dark side."
You lean forward, a frown tugging at your lips. "Dip, this could be dangerous. That book gives me the creeps." You wave your hand in front of Dipper's face. "And look at what it did to me!"
Dipper bats your hand away, his expression annoyed.
Ding-Dong
"Who's that? More tourists?" you ask, glancing toward the door. Mabel grins at you. "Well, it's time to spill the beans." She playfully pushes over an empty can of beans. "Boop. Beans." Mabel beams, clearly pleased with her joke before continuing, "This girl's got a date! Woot woot!"
You and Dipper exchange incredulous looks. "Wait," you begin, "In the half hour we were gone, you managed to get a date who didn't run away from your... let's say, intense enthusiasm?"
Mabel nods enthusiastically. "What can I say? I guess I'm just irresistible."
Dipper looks like he's about to say something, but you cut him off with a grin. "You know what? You go, girl."
The doorbell rings again, and Mabel jumps up, hurrying to answer it.
Dipper sighs, slipping into the seat Mabel just vacated. "I can't believe I was right," he says with a grin, flipping open the journal. "Do you mind trying to touch it again?"
You hesitate for a moment, then nod. "Alright, but if I get possessed, I'm blaming you." Dipper brushes off your comment and passes the journal to you.
You carefully take it from his hand, bracing yourself for anything.
...
But nothing happens. No surge of energy, no eerie whispers—the journal sits quietly in your hands, completely still.
"What'cha reading there, slick?" Grunkle Stan asked as he walked into the room.
"Oh!" Dipper yelped, quickly shoving the book behind his back and snatching up the nearest magazine. "Just catching up on..." He glanced at the cover in his hand, "Gold Chains for Old Men?" He read aloud, raising an eyebrow.
Stan leans over Dipper's shoulder and grins, "That's a good issue."
"Hey family~" Mabel calls out as she drags some homeless-looking guy with her, "Say hello to my new boyfriend!"
"Ugh- ew-" you blurted out at the sight of the pale, disheveled boy, but quickly stopped when Mabel gave you a look, "Sorry, it was involuntary."
"Sup." The boy says.
"Hey," Dipper responded awkwardly. Stan, still focused on the TV, didn't bother to look at the boy. "How's it hanging?"
You squinted at him, suspicious. "How old are you?" you asked.
The boy hesitated, stumbling over his words. "Uh- um- fifteen?" he answered, uncertain.
"...You're definitely lying-"
"We met at the cemetery!! He's really deep." Mabel quickly interrupts your line of questioning.
Dipper narrows his eyes, suspicion clear in his voice. "So, what's your name?" he asks.
The 'teen' straightens up, a bit tense. "Uh... Normal... MAN!" he blurts out.
A faint warmth begins to radiate from the center of your palm, just enough to make you curl your fingers slightly. Unbeknownst to you, a soft greenish-blue glow flickers beneath your skin.
"He means 'Norman,'" Mabel chimes in, leaning closer to him.
You take another look at Norman. "Right... and is that blood on your cheek, Normalman?" you ask, pointing to the red liquid dripping down his face.
"...It's jam," he replies, a little too quickly.
"...Seriously?"
Mabel gasps, delighted. "I love jam!" She turns back to you and Dipper with a grin. "He's perfect!"
You shake your head. "Mabe, your standards... where are they?"
Norman turns to Mabel, "So, you wanna go hold hands or... whatever?" He asks, Mabel blushes shyly, "Oh, goodness!" she exclaims, casting a quick glance at you and Dipper. "Don't wait up for me!" she calls out, her voice light and excited as she hurries out the door with Norman.
As they disappear, the burning sensation in your palm begins to fade, replaced by a faint, lingering buzz. You lift your hand, studying the vertical eye with a puzzled expression.
»»————- 🪬————-««
"Of course Stan sticks me with the broom closet for a bedroom," you mutter, shuffling into the cramped space. As soon as you reach the bed, you collapse onto it with a weary sigh. Your gaze drifts to your hand, staring at the vertical eye on it.
"...What are you?"
KNOCK KNOCK
"Y/n!!" You jolt, startled by the sudden noise.
"Mabel'sdatingazombieandshe'sgoingoutonadatewithhimrightnow!!!" Dipper's frantic voice spills through the door in one breathless rush.
You quickly get to your feet and swing the door open. "Woah, woah, slow down, Dip-" You grab his shoulders, worry knotting in your chest. "Explain that again, but slower."
Dipper takes a couple of shaky breaths, but his panic is still written all over his face. "Mabel's dating a zombie, and she's going on a date with him right now!" Without waiting for a response, Dipper turns and dashes off, pulling you along with him.
"Huh!? Wait- how do you know?" you manage to ask as you stumble after him.
"Earlier today, I was following him to gather evidence," Dipper confesses. "When I reviewed the footage, I saw him lose his hand and then reattach it!"
"I knew something was off about that weirdo..." You mutter, following Dipper out of the Mystery Shack. Stan was standing in front of a crowd, showcasing some kind of rock face, which made it virtually impossible to get his attention.
Scanning the area for an alternative, your eyes land on Wendy, casually sitting in a golf cart. "Dip! Look!" you exclaim, pointing toward her. Dipper's eyes widen before he grins at you. "Nice catch, Y/N!"
Rushing over, you quickly approach Wendy, "Wen, Just the gal I need, you don't mind if we steal that cart and possibly wreck it right?"
Wendy looks at you, then at Dipper, then back to you, and shrugs with a lazy grin, tossing you the keys. "Just try not to mow anyone down."
With a smirk, you hand the keys to Dipper. "Let's go save your sister."
You and Dipper jump into the cart, ready to back out of the lot when Soos suddenly appears, blocking your path.
"Dude, it's me, Soos," he says with a grin, handing Dipper a shovel. "This is for the zombies." He then turns to you, passing you a bat. "And this is just in case you come across a piñata."
"Uh... Thanks?"
»»————- 🪬————-««
"I am seriously regretting giving you those keys" You shout as Dipper drives through the forest like a madman.
"Don't worry Mabel" Dipper shouts loudly, "We'll save you from that zombie!!" He accelerates faster.
"Help!" A shout resonated from off in the distance. You and Dipper gasp,
"Mabel!"
"Mabe!"
Dipper makes a sharp turn off the road, driving through the forest trying to follow the sound of Mabel's voice.
Soon, you both approach some kind of cave, and inside you can see Mabel surrounded by... gnomes?
Dipper slows down, parking once he's in the cave. "What the..." He mutters, "What the heck is going on here!?" he shouts, both confused and extremely underwhelmed.
A gnome runs up to you and hisses, prompting you to kick it.
"Dipper! N/n! Norman turned out to be a bunch of gnomes!" Mabel shouts as she bats away the gnomes crowding her, "And they're total jerks!" One particularly persistent gnome latches onto her hair, making Mable gasp in pain, "Hair- hair- hair-!"
Dipper stares at the chaos, shaking his head in disbelief. "Gnomes... huh, I was way off."
A faint warmth begins to emanate from your palm, similar to before. Glancing down, you gasp seeing the vertical eye glowing with a soft greenish-blue light.
"Hey! Let go of my sister!" Dipper yelled at the brown-haired gnome.
The brown haired gnome spins around, offering Dipper a sheepish grin. "Oh! Uh, hey there," he stammers with a nervous chuckle. "This is just a big misunderstanding, really. Your sister's perfectly safe. She's just, you know, marrying all thousand of us to become our gnome queen for eternity!" He turns back to Mabel with a smirk. "Right, sweetheart?"
Mabel, now tied down, glares daggers at the gnomes. "You guys are butt-faces!" she yelled before one of them hastily muffled her.
You step up beside Dipper, and kneel down to the gnome's height, trying to ignore the faint warmth spreading in your palm. "Listen here, Normal-man," you mock, voice steady, "if you and your creepy little friends don't let Mabel go, I'm going to recreate that gnome scene from the 2015 Goosebumps movie." You give your bat a subtle lift, just enough to make your point clear.
The gnome glares at you. "You think you can stop us? You have no idea what we're capable of. The gnomes are a powerful race! Do not trifle with the-"
You nudge him off the rock with your bat.
Dipper wastes no time, stepping forward to cut the string holding Mabel down with his shovel. Mabel flashes him a grateful smile before kicking the gnomes away and rushing toward the golf cart.
Dipper grabs your hand, pulling you along. For a brief moment, he hesitates, noticing the glow in your palm. You can almost hear the questions forming in his mind, but the urgency of the situation forces him to push them aside.
Once in the cart, Dipper quickly starts it up and speeds away. Faintly, you hear Jeff yelling behind you.
As the three of you exit the cave, Dipper eases up on the speed, his tension fading.
"Hurry, before they come after us!" Mabel urges, prompting Dipper to chuckle. "I wouldn't worry. Did you see their legs? Those suckers are tiny!"
You frown. "I'm with Mabe on this one, Dip. That was way too easy."
Dipper rolls his eyes. "And you called me paranoid-"
THUMP THUMP THUMP.
"...I blame Dip. He jinxed us."
A giant gnome monster, made up of smaller gnomes, looms behind the golf cart, chasing you.
"Move, move!" Mabel shouts at Dipper. He stumbles but quickly picks up speed. Glancing back, you see the creature's shadow growing larger.
"Dip!" you yell. "It's gaining on us!"
"I know! This thing won't go any faster, Y/N!" Dipper shouts back.
"Uhh, guys," Mabel says, peeking her head out of the cart. "It's getting closer!" Her voice is panicked.
"We know!" you and Dipper yell in unison.
The monster swings its massive arms, hurling small gnomes through the air toward your cart. Two gnomes land beside you, and out of reflex, you smack the one on your left, knocking it out cold.
The gnome on your right hisses, ready to pounce, but you swiftly grab the unconscious gnome and toss it at the other, sending both tumbling out of the cart.
Another gnome crashes onto the hood and springs at Dipper, latching onto his face with a tight grip.
You lunge forward, reaching over the seat to help the boy. The moment your hand touches the gnome, a greenish-blue light flares from your palm. The gnome yelps in pain, releasing Dipper and snatching his hat away in the process.
Mabel gasps, turning to you with a bright smile. "How'd you do that?" she asks. You stare at your hand, bewildered. "I... I don't know..."
Before either Mabel or Dipper can ask more, a tree crashes down in front of the cart. "Watch out!" you shout as Dipper swerves to avoid it. He manages to steer clear, but the sharp turn tips the cart over, sending all of you tumbling.
Groaning, you crawl out of the wrecked vehicle. "Called... it..." you mumble, slowly getting to your feet.
The ground trembles as the giant gnome monster approaches, each of its thundering steps echoing through the forest.
"Stay back, man!" Dipper shouts, grabbing a shovel and hurling it at the monster. The creature swats it away effortlessly.
The twins cling to each other in terror. You step in front of them, instinctively trying to shield them from the looming threat.
With every step the monster takes, you and the twins retreat, until you're backed against a wall.
"It's the end of the line, kids!" Jeff yells from atop the monster. "Mabel, marry us before we do something crazy!"
"Shoot..." you mutter, glancing at Mabel. "There's gotta be a way out of this..."
Mabel's gaze locks onto the monster as she carefully considers her next move. Slowly, she steps past you and Dipper, her expression firm. "I gotta do it," she says, her voice steady.
"Mabel, don't!" Dipper grabs her arm, fear evident in his eyes. "Are you crazy!?"
She doesn't waver. "Trust me," she whispers.
Dipper hesitates, about to protest, but you place a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, Dip," you murmur. "Trust her, just this once."
After a tense moment, Dipper sighs in frustration, then steps back.
Mabel offers you a grateful smile before turning to face the monster. "All right, Jeff. I'll marry you."
"Hot dog!" Jeff cheers, scrambling down the monster's side. "Help me down there, Jason! Thanks, Andy! Left foot, there we go... watch those fingers, Mike."
Jeff approaches Mabel, holding out a diamond ring with a smug grin. "Ehh? Ehh?" he says, gesturing to the jewels. Mabel kneels down, letting him slip the ring onto her finger.
"Bada-bing, bada-bam!" Jeff dances with glee. "Now that's how you get a wife! Let's head back to the forest, honey!"
Mabel admires the ring. "You may now kiss the bride," she declares.
Jeff smirks, leaning in for the kiss. "Well, don't mind if I do."
As Jeff moves closer, Mabel leans back and flicks on the leaf blower behind her, aiming it straight at him. The suction pulls him in with a whoosh.
"That's for lying to me!" Mabel shouts, cranking up the power. "And this is for breaking my heart!"
Jeff flails helplessly, yelping in pain.
You and Dipper approach, both thoroughly impressed by her quick thinking. Mabel glances over her shoulder, a sly smile forming on her lips. "And this... is for messing with my brother and my best friend."
She lifts the leaf blower and points it at the monster. "Want to do the honors, Dipper?"
Dipper grins widely. "On three."
"One, two, three!"
They launch Jeff out of the leaf blower, sending him crashing into the giant monster, scattering it in pieces.
With their leader gone, the gnomes scramble in confusion. You grab a rake leaning against the Shack and start herding the gnomes back into the forest.
Once you were sure they were all gone, you turned back and started heading in towards the Shack, Mabel had gone inside after talking with Dipper, leaving just the two of you.
"Oh- Um, Y/n!" " Dipper called out just before you reached the door, making you turn to face him. He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "I just wanted to, uh, clear the air?"
He hesitated, glancing at you to gauge your reaction. "Since we've been stuck here, it kinda felt like we were at odds," he admitted. "But with everything that's happened - the journal and all - I figured we should..." His voice trailed off.
"But especially after today," his tone grew firmer, "you helped me when you didn't have to. If it wasn't for you, I don't know if I would've been able to get to Mabel..."
You smiled. "I get it, Dip, no need to get all mushy." He flushed, groaning a little in embarrassment. "But, honestly, you proved me wrong. You're a lot braver than you give yourself credit for."
Dipper stared at you for a moment, then smiled. "Thanks, Y/n. That... means a lot."
A comfortable silence settled between you just as Mabel popped back outside. "Come on, guys! Grunkle Stan has a present for us!"
»»————- 🪬————-««
You admire your new ring, a simple silver band etched with intricate Celtic designs. Inside, the name 𝕌ℝ𝕎𝕍𝕆ℝℍ is engraved, the letters catching the light as you turn it between your fingers.
A knock on the door pulls your attention from the ring. Shuffling around the tight space, you make it to the door and carefully open it.
"Dipper?" you ask, seeing the boy.
He nods, clutching the journal under one arm, a pen in his other hand. "Yeah, I wanted to talk about your... strange mark." You step aside, allowing him to enter, and the two of you settle on the bed.
"This started when you touched the journal?" Dipper asks, glancing at your hand. "Can you feel anything from the mark?"
You nod slowly. "Yeah, there's this constant faint buzzing sensation, and sometimes it gets really warm." Dipper jots something down in the journal, his brow furrowed.
"And do you know what triggers the warmth?"
You pause, thinking back. "It happened when Normalman first appeared - my palm started aching. And then again when we were near the gnomes."
Dipper murmurs to himself, deep in thought. "But why now? Was it the journal that set it off? Could you be some kind of psychic?" He clicks his pen repeatedly, lost in thought.
"Maybe... you have a knack for sensing the supernatural," he suggests, his voice trailing off.
You glance out the window, noticing the sun had long set, "Let's discuss this more tomorrow ok?" You suggest, "It's been a long day Dip, you should get some sleep."
Dipper frowns, trying to protest. "But-"
Before he can finish, you start nudging him toward the door. "Nope, not until I get my beauty rest," you say with a playful grin.
Despite his reluctance, you manage to push him out of the room and shut the door behind him.
"He worries too much," you mutter with a smile. With a yawn and a stretch, you make your way to your bed, sinking into the comforting embrace of the covers. As your eyes grow heavy, you're unaware of the soft glow beginning to emanate from your palm.
. . .
When you open your eyes, you find yourself standing in an empty field. The sky is a strange, burnt-orange hue, and to your surprise, you spot not one, but two suns hanging low on the horizon.
"Where... where am I?" you murmur, spinning around to take in your surroundings. Far off in the distance, you notice a figure, their entire body obscured by layers of clothing.
With nothing else to guide you, you approach the figure cautiously. "Hello?" you call out, the sound of your voice echoing slightly in the eerie stillness.
The figure jolts, turning abruptly to face you. A scarf and goggles hide their expression, but their posture is tense. "You!" he shouts, his voice sharp. "How did you get here? Who are you?"
You hesitate, glancing around once more before offering a helpless shrug. "I don't know. I just went to bed and woke up here."
He studies you closely, his gaze unnerving. After a moment, he reaches out toward you, his hand passing through your form. You blink in surprise.
"Fascinating," he mutters to himself, stepping back to examine you more. "Somehow, through your dreams, you've crossed into this place."
A strange sensation begins to ripple through you, like a tug from deep within. The man's eyes widen in alarm. "You're waking up," he whispers, almost in awe.
You glance down at yourself, watching in disbelief as your body starts to fade, the colors draining like watercolors bleeding into the paper.
"Wait!" the man calls out, suddenly frantic. "There's so much more I need to-"
But before he can finish, everything blurs, and the dream collapses in on itself.
. . .
Your eyes snap open, the soft light of morning filtering through your window. The room is still, the quiet only broken by your racing heartbeat. You lift your hand, the glow slowly fading once more.
You exhale deeply, trying to shake off the lingering sense of unease, wondering what it all could mean.

Return to Gravity Falls
@angelqueen27 & @eisheth
Contains: Implied Platonic yandere
"Wake, Starlight," a familiar voice tells me.
Opening my eyes, I'm met with the all too familiar set of bright blue eyes. My older brother, Mason, who has the stage name Dipper. I sit up in bed, yawning and rubbing my eyes of all sleepiness. Smelling pancakes, I figured my older sister, Mabel, was making her special strawberry chocolate chip pancakes. Those two were part of a magic act called, the Mystery Twins. We'd been traveling across the country for weeks and I was always excited to explore where we ended up this time.
"Morning big bro," I tell him.
I know he has a new bolo tie, but he has a million so I wouldn't now what every single one he owns looks like. He gives me a head pat and tells me to get dressed as he leaves the room and closes the door.
I throw on a blue shirt and black shorts, paired with my sneakers. I spend extra time brushing my hair, knowing Mabel would do it herself if she didn't think it was good enough. After brushing my teeth, I join my siblings at the table. Mabel, who's normally blank blue headband had a teal gem decoration on it, handed me a plate with a smily face pancake and apple slices.
"Morning little Starlight," she calls me.
I smile despite my annoyance. I have a name, Reader, but my siblings have never used it. It was always, Starlight this and Starlight that for as long as I can remember. I wanted to let go of the dumb nicknames, but last time I tried I started feeling guilty. Dipper and Mabel would say that they only wanted to have a bond with me, so I let them keep calling me that name. When their magic act took off, the dragged me along with them.
I look down at the smiling pancake, I loved that stupid whipped cream smile when I like 6, but Mabel keeps putting it on my pancakes. I don't really mind, it's whipped cream after all. I finish the pancake, and go to leave the table, but without even looking up from his plate, Dipper says.
"Eat all your apple slices, you need to be healthy,"
That pancake was huge, and I was feeling full. Trying to argue that point was useless as Dipper said that I could only be full if I finished those stupid apple slices. It bothers me that they can't see that I'm not a little kid anymore, plus I'm only three years younger than them. Giving in, I eat the apple slices and let Mabel take my plate and silverware. Looking out the window, I recognize some familiar scenery.
"We're back home?" I ask my siblings. They nod and smile.
We were away from home for so long, my heart might burst from the excitement of returning. Before I can leave the table to explore my hometown, Mabel stops me.
"We have something for you, Starlight," Mabel says as Dipper walks over.
With a dramatic flurrish, Dipper pulls out a white box with a blue ribbon bow on it. Opening it reveals a sliver bracelet, a dark teal stone embedded in the center surrounded by my star sign.
"Where and when did you get this?" I ask.
They both chuckle and Mabel tells me it was bought after one of their New England shows. I take their word, and put it on. It fits perfectly and looks beautiful. I hug them both before we heard our Great Uncle/ Manager Stan say Dipper and Mabel have to do a rehearsal for a show happening in about two weeks time. I get two kisses on the cheek as the pair leave. Once that car is outta view, I run out the house's front door.
Nostalgia hits like a freight train as I wander the streets of the town I knew and loved. Greasy's dinner was where it always stood, with Speedy Susan being a one woman crew. Gravity Falls may look like a hick town in middle of nowhere Oregon, which is true, but I see it as a wonderful place full of woods to explore. As I walk around, I feel something solid run into me as I fall backwards.
"I'm so, so, so, so sorry!" A high pitched voice says.
Looking as I stand, I see a girl with a color hippie like outfit, and a white haired boy in a sweatshirt, it's summer. The girl keeps apologizing and I let her know I'm ok. She sticks out her hand.
"Nice to meet you, My name is Pacifica Southeast, but please call me Pacifica," she tells me.
I tell her my name. She smiles and pushes the nervous sweatshirt boy closer. He looks like he really doesn't want to talk to anyone, not because he's better, but it's mor elike, he'll go the way of the narwhal if he even things of talking to strangers. He slowly sticks out his hand for a handshake. I return the handshake and tell him my name.
"M-My name is Gideon Pines," he tells me.
I nod and apologize for being in their way. Pacifica says her and he brother had plans to explore the nearby woods, then asked what I was doing. I explain my exporting and Pacifica says we should do it together. Normally, Dipper and Mabel would pull me away, Dipper making me wash my hand because he thinks that I'll get "poor people germs" and Mabel would say I need to spend more time with family. But, they aren't here.
"Sure, sounds fun" I tell my new best friends.
The three of us enjoy our wilderness expedition, spotting animals and plants of varying kinds. It was nice to have friends, Dipper and Mabel just scare them off, saying I only need my big brother and sister. I catch my reflection in a small creek, I have dirt stains on my hands, face, and shirt with messy hair. It's been so long since I've looked like this, ever since Dipper and Mabel had become the Mystery Twins, they would always keep me under their ever present eyes.
The laughter dies down as the sun starts to sink below the trees, casting the town and forest in a comfortable orange glow. Pacifica hands me a folded piece of paper, urging me to open it. When I do, I'm greeted with an address, but it's not one I know.
"It's for a place called the Mystery Shack, it's where me and Gideon live so you can hang out whenever you want!" She cheerfully tells me.
Stuffing the paper back in my pocket, I have memories of Dipper and Mabel insulting the Mystery Shack and telling I have no reason to go to "that dirty tourist trap". Now, I have friends and a reason to visit, I start making my way to home, trying to hide the evidence of my wilderness fun. Opening the door, I'm greeted with the stern looks of Dipper and Mabel.
"Do you have any idea how worried we were?" Mabel asks in a somewhat emotional manner.
I try my best to answer, but it doesn't help. Dipper scolds me as Mabel is setting up a make shift spy in our living room, going on and on about how I was "darted by hooligans". Dipper does nothing to calm her, only fueling the fire. Dipper calmly tells me that I shouldn't be around strangers as they could hurt me. Honestly, I think the most dangerous thing in this town are the woodpeckers. Dipper takes the paper as Mabel scolds me.
Well, despite being grounded, I'm still happy that we're back in Gravity Falls. Nostalgia softened the blow of grounding. Looks like I'll have to rob Dipper's room for that address. I wonder what it would be like to have real friends, not overprotective siblings.

WIP
Hey everyone! I got the part I auditioned for! To celebrate, here’s a sneak peak at my Locked Tomb x Gravity Falls crossover fic! Hope to update that fic soon! Meanwhile, enjoy:
I’ve reexamined the garment Mabel knitted for me. The color is a pale mauve, and the fabric is soft to the touch. There is a design stitched on the front of a large black corvid perched atop a jawless skull, its wings spread wide across the chest. There’s a subtle iridescence to the detail of the wingfeathers.
I note an appreciation for Mabel’s handiwork, and the attempt to appeal to my aesthetic sensibilities. She lacks the reverence and solemnity of the Ninth, but the passion she exhibits is strangely rejuvenating.
I chose to wear the sweater this morning for my outfit. Mabel was delighted and showed me off to every person she saw today, from her family all the way to strangers from town. I tolerated it with a grace I reserve only for my congregants.
Then of course, Griddle had to show up also wearing her own stupid flaming sword sweater, which led to Mabel having the two of us pose for a “scrapbookertunity,” a portmanteau I never, ever hope to hear again.
I have reproduced the picture taken in my notes: I kept a neutral expression as best I could, but I’m afraid I came out all eyes, not unlike a small dog. The effect of the sacramental paint and Mabel’s sweater was not unpleasant, however.
Gideon’s expression was also somewhat awkward, her positioning next to me in the photograph was close, but both of her arms are hanging down straight like she had no idea what to do with them. She attempted a crooked, toothy smile that made her eyes crinkle too much, like the sun was in her eyes. I still maintain that my sweater is the superior design, but Gideon’s was just as well made, and it flattered her physique.
[note: the last line has been crossed out multiple times; the pages below are torn through.]
