And now, a direct quote from Bishop Leshy in the courtroom

“-I’ve been sitting here for 3 HOURS! Either we hang this man or prove him innocent! Im THIS CLOSE to eating everyone in this room!”

Surprisingly the more calm one when it comes to Territory and court proceedings

Harley Quinn stops a robbery

Harley Quinn entered the 7/11, her trusty bat slung over her shoulder. She stopped in her tracks, taken aback to see a man robbing the place. The robber, his gun aimed at the store clerk, caught sight of her.

Robber (happy to see any old 'friend'): Harley? Hey! How you been?

Harley (grinning): Good, you know, being a less crazy civilian. I was just buying some snacks.

Robber (relieved): Go ahead, you can get what you want.

Harley (cheerful): Thanks!

The robber turned his attention back to the convenience store worker, keeping his gun raised.

Robber (impatiently): Hurry up!

Worker (nervously): You want the change too?

Robber (hesitant): I… yeah, put it in the bag.

With a mischievous glint in her eye, Harley strolled past the robber, casually grabbing a bag of Fritos, a can of Poppi soda, and a bag of Sour Patch Kids.

Harley (to herself, pondering): What candy did Ivy want? Right, Sour Peach Rings. Those are at the front counter. That works out perfectly.

Harley, now standing behind the robber, remained silent as she raised her bat and gave him a swift bonk on the head.

Harley (playfully): Bonk!

As the robber crumpled to the ground, Harley swiftly picked up the gun, sliding it across the counter to the cashier.

Harley (with a wink): Make sure he doesn't get that back. I'd keep it, but my bats and mallets do the job just fine. Oh, and dial the cops, tell them I wasn't involved with him.

The exhausted teen boy worker watched, unimpressed.

Exhausted Worker (annoyed): You could've done that when you entered.

Harley (rolling her eyes): I wanted to catch him off guard! Geez, you're welcome either way.

Harley placed her snacks on the counter, also grabbing two packs of Sour Peach Rings for Ivy.

Harley (cheerfully): I'm payin' for these, and again, when I leave, tell 'em I was not with him. Me and him? Not together. Got it?

The exhausted worker shrugged, accepting his fate.

Cashier (ringing up the items): As long as you're paying, I'll tell the cops you helped stop him. That'll still be $8.40 for your stuff. Need a bag?

Harley shook her head, a smile playing on her lips as she placed a ten-dollar bill on the counter.

Harley (grinning): Keep the change, kid.

With that, she skipped out of the store, feeling satisfied with her day’s good deed, her laughter trailing behind her like a spark of chaos in the air.

THE FIXINIT AU

"A different form, A different time"

After Bill Cipher invoked the Axolotl's name, the deity sends him to Theraprism, to go under indefinite karmic rehabilitation.

After hundreds of years of therapy, Bill has lost count. After useless attempts to break free, to resist professional help, to make himself believe that he will be free... Eventually, he gave up. Went along with whatever they wanted. Let them believe that this is actually worth something... He let Theraprism strip him of his own self, let himself become a shell of everything he once was; What's the point, if he will never be the same anyway, he will never be FREE?

This was it, until the Axolotl has made their decision, regarding Bill's case. He was always a special case, after all... And so he got a special chance. To be with a special someone.

Bill Cipher, now transported back to our dimension, wakes up in a human body, in the 1980's... And with a mission, which the Axolotl said to be his final trial;

"Fix his mistakes, before he even made them."

FIXINIT1:

A human Bill Cipher, back in the 80's.

Bill is given a human body, the body of a creature who he always thought to be lowly and pathetic.

But other than that, he is given a mission, or rather, a "list" of the final things Bill has to get done, that would finally put an end to his karmic rehabilitation at Theraprism.

What does that list contain? Only one person knows; And that is Axel; or, rather, the Axolotl themselves, disguised in a human body, to watch and monitor Bill's progress. To finally let him go, and give him a chance at the life he didn't know he want, there are things that need to be done. Just to name a few; "comfort someone", "open up to someone you trust", but most importantly... "Tell Ford the truth".

(That's right, this is just another Billford AU. Sorry if you thought otherwise.)

Ford Pines, as he canonically did in this time period, lives in Gravity Falls, doing research, building the interdimensional portal... Still believing Bill to be his brilliant, all-knowing Muse. So when he finds his so-called Muse, in a human form, all alone in the forest... You could say he's confused, but more importantly, he is overjoyed to welcome his Muse to his own dimension, regardless of why. So he takes him in, much to his own delight... But also to his assistant's dismay.

#FIXINIT1 focuses on the question; Will Bill be able to change the past, or is he doomed to make the same mistakes? Crippling with depression, identity crisis, and a feeling of hollowness after all the centuries spent at Theraprism, sprinkled with the pressure of eventually having to tell the truth, therefore being frustrate to no end with Ford still worshipping him with blind trust and calling him Muse, Bill is forced to confront himself, in order to finally get his second chance at like, and his second chance at getting Ford.

RELATIONSHIPS; There may or may not be a romance sideplot with Fiddleford and eventually Stan.

Setting: Heavy with angst, occasional fluff and overall Mystery Quartet whimsiness.

Main themes: Forgiveness, second chances, identity crisis, survivor's guilt, PTSD, trust issues, body dysphoria, vulnerability.

FIXINIT2:

Gravity Falls; But Bill is not the villain.

Let's jump 30 years ahead, shall we?

Going with the route that Bill reveals the truth about his true self and his lies, and Ford, taking his time to consider it carefully, but ultimately forgives him. And they kiss. And they do more, but let's not get into that.

What does it change, regarding the canon timeline? The portal-test and portal-incident never happen; Ford and Bill managed to find another way to uncover Gravity Falls' weirdness. What's the Mystery Shack in the canon timeline, is now their own, small research center. Given how the portal-test never happens; Fiddleford doesn't go insane. His memory may be a bit messy because of previous uses of the memory gun, but he's in a much better shape, helping Bill and Ford with building their equipment, and also creating and selling his own inventions. Given how the portal-incident never happens either; Stan (having reconciled with Ford in a different way, more on that in FIXINIT1), is in a relationship with Fiddleford, and also runs a smaller, but also (kinda) more real gift shop.

#FIXINIT2; In this fixed timeline, Bill is also like an uncle (Grunkle? Not sure what Bill would count tbh) to Dipper and Mabel, a very fun one at that. A partner-in-crime, if you will; Someone who escorts them on their adventures, provides them with all the information they need, and fiercely protecting them if needed.

But, you might ask... If the canon Bill is now reformed, what's the point? What makes this interesting? Who is the "big threat", if not Bill Cipher?

(First of all, how dare you– I love tooth-rotting fluff and happiness, okay?)

Someone eerily similar to what Bill once was. Someone who might remind him of his journey, and how much of a thin line is keeping him from turning back. Someone who can provide a cruel, twisted mirror, forcing Bill to once again reflect on everything that now would be just brushed off as an inside joke.

That's right. Pyramid Steve. And his goal of bringing the Oddpocalypse.

Setting: At first, lots of fluff, whimsiness and happiness. Just fun! And the second half... Kinda like the canon finale, yknow.

Main themes: Second chances, identity crisis, found family, bits of psychological horror??? Thank that to Steve. (Might add more later, this is the more wip of the two)

————————————————————————

There are hundreds of Bill AUs flying around since the release of TBOB, so I might as well make my own, yknow?

As the name and the unusual amount of happiness (?) suggests, this started out as a redemption/fix-it AU. Why? Because I'm a goddamn pussy and I need my favorite characters to be happy, even if it doesn't make any sense canon-wise.

OR HAVING FUN, I GUESS

So yeah. Into the Cipherverse

Night Terror DLC Redemption

Hey. So I'll be making a story about my new AU (it's be a bit diffrent from original Night Terror AU story, that's why I called it DLC. It's not canon to original story, it's more like fanon). So yeah. I hope you'll like it.

Calling Baddies with Miraculous Au's

baddies and talented artists doing miraculous au's how are y'all doing on this fine day? being cool I assume <3

I love all the miraculous au's sm,,, I tried to rewatch the show for mine but ngl I don't think I can :,) the nonsense kills me nowadays, I deviate pretty heavily anyways and my au is what I would do if I was given the miraculous concept, sort of slice of life anime vibes with plot that gets more important later.

the characters base personalities are the same minus the insane character assassination lmao

also if this gets traction I'd love to know how many of y'all are interested in giving Chloe a redemption arc in your's? I know it was a popular sentiment in the fandom (cuz the show's writing made it seem like she'd get one but then she didn't lol) but I haven't seen it much in any of the au's/rewrites I've seen?

Chloe is over party or Chloe redemption truther?

Here’s the redesign for my (so far not written down) Chris x Zach/Zach redemption AU!

@martincrushcameback shared the idea that Zach is the Way he Is bc of his father/expectations of running The Company…. Maybe this takes place after Zach’s had some time away to reinvent himself, so to speak.

Without the constant pressure from his father to desperately perform, he completely revamps and rebrands, and hey— he seems a lot more confident, too….

(He pops up on TV during an interview after his rebrand debut, and Chris is immediately Interested. But also Confused, because like. Zach completely dropped off the map for like a year and now he’s back and he’s hot???? And he’s leaving animals alone?? And he’s being ethical??)
