#stancest fic recs

[sixerstanley]

hey. you got any good stancest fic recs? 👀 i trust your opinion over any other stancest blog rn

!!!!!!

Omg, that is so so sweet????? I'm not sure what I did to earn that trust, but thank you!!!

Okay, here are some of my favs, but I'm still making my way through the tag!!

What We Used To Be - By fractured_hourglass (M)

Here's one of the fics I first read when I got into stancest, it broke into my home and tore my heart apart with its angst but it was so GOOD???? SO fucking good, great angst, spectacular writing and characterization. It takes place between stanchurian candidate and last mabelcorn, so don't expect a happy ending in the first part, BUT it's insanely good. The summary is that Stan and Ford are trying to learn to live together again, but they keep fighting, and implications that they were something more...makes everything worse. And when Jimmy Snakes, an old fling of Stan's is back in town, Ford gets more and more irritable until shit hits the fan. There is also a part 2 now that wraps everything up nicely!

Any Way You Want It - By Pandame (E)

An untraditional A/B/O fic that is deliciously hot. Ford comes out of the portal...different.

Miss Missing You - By theywerefireworks (E)

A fic post weirdmageddon where Ford tries to make Stan remember their shared memories together--even if they aren't all that pretty.

Oral Communication - by fishingboatblues (E)

Stan starts leaving notes in code, leaving Ford to decipher them.

Sweet Dreams and Glacier's Rock - by Frondere (E)

The twins take a trip, and there's only one bed 👀

everything you feel is good - by businessboyjared (E)

A delightful pwp where Ford walks in on Stan watching porn. What happens next will shock you.

TV Remotes and Ice-Cream - by wubdub_redux (G)

A really sweet fluffy fic about Stan being awkward about his feelings, but luckily Ford is really dense.

And last, but CERTAINLY not least, a fic I'm still reading right now and it's in progress but is SO good:

many dreams come true, and some have silver linings - by GoodbyeBabylon (E)

This fic is just. Chefs kiss. It's so well done. It's the pining Stancest fic I have yearned for, where they are OLD and PINING and STILL have trouble communicating. It's so so good guys. Highly recommend.

And there you have it!! There are probably some I'm forgetting, and like I said I'm still going through the tag, but please enjoy! :D

Hi everyone! I’m back to tell you how good @sixerstanley ‘s fics are ;)

I’ve been craving some distraction from the overwhelming amount of work I have on the last week of 2024 and Clover posted the first chapter of teen!stancest (How Can I) Say No To This so, obviously I had to drop everything and make this silly little picture.

Clover, my dear, thank you so much for your beautiful fics, reading your work always makes my day better

[dollyhrtz777]

I will never stop reading stan angst like im sorry but i just cant read ford angst its like...dudes please give this man the affection he craved for 30 years, make him cry suffer idgaf i just want him cuddled and kissed by ford at the end of the day period

[sixfingerdiscount]

Here to recommend this cute fic involving Stanley, Stanford and a plastic ring from a cereal box. Short and sweet and so fluffy!

[boobleek]

Darlings,

I'm feeling extremely nostalgic about stancest, do you know fics with Stans in their thirties?

And Ford didn't fall into the portal because [any reason, Stan lost consciousness because of burn, Stan was managed to drag him back, the portal broke down immediately...]? And they have to face their feelings, unresolved tension etc?

Anything like this, any length (from drabbles to novels lol), any rating <3

[cartoonsinthemorning]

I LOVE YOUR STANCEST ART RAAAAHH what’s your top five best stancest fanfic recs?

Thank you so much!!! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧💕💕💕 I'm not the best person to ask this to lmao, since 1) I'm a slow reader, I don't have much time to read, and I probably yet have to find some gems and 2) I read and tend to fall in love with unfinished works, that I know many people avoid like the plague. That said, I won't do a top 5 because I don't think any of these are better than the others, but I'll recommend some of my fave Stancest fics so far. I hope you'll enjoy! ❤ "bad moon on the rise" by calciseptine. If you like teenstans and Ford being down bad for his clueless bro, this is for you.

🧡 "The Guardian" by cellard00rs. Stanford travels back in time to check on Stan during his drifter years. I did some trad sketches of this fanfics, I gotta ink them digitally one of these days. 💛 "Brand New", unfortunately by Anonymous. I won't tell you anything, it's best to go into this one blind- I'll just say it got my favorite brand of fucked-up, opportunistic, dark Ford.

💚 "Learning Commons" by Frondere. AU with so much going on, so many elements to keep you hooked...There's many chapters too, so if you're into something rich and lengthy to read, this is ideal! 💙 "Tough as Nails" by sixerstanley. If you enjoy intense, deep exploration of the Stans' feelings, thoughts and relationship, you'll love this one! There's so much tension, and then tenderness, it's such a great read.

💜 "stay (it doesn't have to hurt)" again by calciseptine. Okay, this one doesn't actually get to any Stancest, as it stops at chapter one, but is SO GOOD. Especially if, like me, you love drifter Stan, you should read it. It's just that good.

🖤 "The Pull Of You" by an orphaned account, sadly. The way they're written as teenagers here is so authentic and natural. The intimacy, the tension, the desire, the daily rituals.... Pretty great read, but get ready for the heartbreak at the end.

Anyone have some good Ford being comforted by Stan fic recs?

Maybe something where Ford is apologizing and Stan tells him it’s okay or Ford being comforted after having a nightmare. Really, anything will do. I’ve been scouring AO3 but it doesn’t feel like enough. Feel free to plug your own work or someone else’s you think is really neat. (Just no stancest please)

[proshipconfessions]

so with the gravity falls fandom getting even more popular i have been. vaguely getting into stancest. it's not my favorite ship ever, but i am lowkey enjoying reading some of the fics,,,, it's so nerve wracking though cause if anyone found out about it i'd get SO cancelled but . it's also so fun (if anyone has any recs for fics y'all should let me know)

[angularprism]

Stanford Pines/Stanley Pines, ~3000w, noncon, aphrodisiacs, victim blaming

“Damn it, Stanley,” says Ford, pushing him away. “Control yourself.”

Or, Stan attempts to heed Ford's warnings, but things just never go to plan.

Stans w/ aphrodisiacs gift for me for Nonconathon :D Please go read it, it’s v hot and sad and has lots of mutual Stans pining at each other in the midst of having sex. 

[problematicpinescones]

Stan/dipper and stancest fic rec

Truly good, and short! Read it like 4 times in 24 hours. Explores the fucked up ness of falling in lust with your great nephew because he looks like your brother. Mind the tags!

[sov-est]

Can't wait...

Sneak peek of the nisse fic. Oh Ford you have no clue what's coming

[sherlockfreak05]

Question for the Gravity Falls fandom...

If anybody sees this and knows the answer...

Are there any good Reverse Portal fics or comics that aren't stancest?? Or stanchez??

I love the idea, but I'm not having much luck finding anything. I saw some art/comics I really liked a while back and when I finally found it again saw that it was stancest..... no thanks.

And I like Rick and all, but..... No. Stanchez is not for me. I don't dig slash, sorry. 😕

So other than that, any recs would be welcome!

[shootaimedstars]

I've been looking through the list of stancest blogs but it seems several no longer exist. I guess that's the hazard of being late to the party. I do love most of what you post so I wanted to ask if you had any recommendations of older stancest fics, art, analysis, or other that might still be available?

Hello! I’m sorry you’re not finding a lot! A few recs from a while ago would probably be:

someoneisintrouble- fantastic writer, especially if you like spanking! a very well thought out style with amazing characterzation!

calciseptinefic- i can’t help but show off this amazing writer always- calci has a very noir movie-esque style that i adore. 

busmall- an amazing writer who has a more straight forward novel style, it’s crisp and warm and it’s so fucking good 

tentacledog- a more gritty styled author that just writes some of the sexiest scenes ever, while still being incredibly raw and emotional... just a blessing tbh (also a great artist!!!!)

fallingsongs- some of the fluffiest writing i’ve ever read omggg it feels so homely to read their stuff! very comfy and real...

writingdice- jesus christ i love their work so much, a fairy tale kind of style with an edge that you just end up falling for! a personal fave of mine that needs more attention! (also an artist!!)

sinful-shipping- it’s pretty damn great and i’m dying over their one shots...

there’s a L O T more writers, but they still write for stancest so i’m not mentioning them here!

also if you need artists, just check out any artist i’ve reblogged bcs they all deserve so much love and attention! 

analysis-wise i’d go back to busmall, cheeziswin, and theywerefireworks because damn good shit 

[sov-est]

I'm waiting for my lunch break to have my portion of teen stans pinning...

okay. here's the deal. i have over 8,000 words of the teen stancest fic I've been working on, and i was going to originally split the entire work into 2 chapters. but i have covid rn and i need a pick me up and i am super tempted to post what i have rn, but i would have to make the fic 3 chapters instead of 2 if i did

[sixerstanley]

hi there! a friend of mine recced one of your fics and i was like "yo i know that blog!" so i just wanted to pop in and ask your opinion on the official journal 3 companion book. i picked it up tonight and ford spends a good chunk just roasting stan for -checks notes- his everything?? lmao. you wanna fuck him so bad dude

Hi!!!

Omg, so I LOVED journal 3. I just recently finished it and I think it gives us Stancest shippers a lot of material to work with.

YEAH. a lot of the stuff Ford says towards the beginning/middle of the book is him just dunking on Stan and I'm like. You can't fool me, bucko. I know what you are. You wanna fuck him so bad it makes you look stupid.

Have you finished it yet at this point? Because things become very...telling towards the end of the book. I don't wanna spoil it though!! But yeah I would love to discuss this more in depth, they make me coocoo bananas

[sixerstanley]

Updating this to recommend two works in progress (but they have been updating VERY recently) because they slap so fucking hard

Forwards, Beckon, Rebound - by Frondere (E)

In an au where Time Travelers Pig happens after the events in season 1 vs towards the beginning, Dipper and Mabel get stuck in the past with Ford.

It's such an interesting au and I LOVE how everything is unfolding. I also love the formatting of showing us bits of Stan and Ford's past and then showing us what's happening in the 80s where dipper and Mabel are. Very well written, ough. Mind the tags on this btw just in case!

Learning Commons - by Frondere (E)

A college au where Stan also ends up going to Backupsmore and has Ford as his tutor. I'm describing it simply here bc I don't want to spoil it, but GOD. this fic. It's so cute, it's so heartbreaking, it's so GOOD. I can't wait for more updates, the author is just killing it. Mind the tags on this as well! (Although, we haven't reached any parts of the story where they're applicable yet? At least some. And I'm 99% certain the "noncon" tag is NOT for Stancest, but again, we haven't gotten to that in the updates)

Anyways yes, both of these I highly recommend

hey. you got any good stancest fic recs? 👀 i trust your opinion over any other stancest blog rn

Omg, that is so so sweet????? I'm not sure what I did to earn that trust, but thank you!!!
