Okay okay okay- I've got an AU rattling around in my brain that is somewhat like a body swap au, but instead of being stuck in each other's bodies, it's a semi-possession situation where Stan is stuck in Ford's head, or vice versa, Ford is stuck in Stan's. Can hear what they hear, see what they see, feel what they feel, and talk to them and no one else. (On that note if anyone knows any good body swap fics of the Stan twins I'd love to read that-)
Either one of them died, or its some Gravity Falls ~weirdness~ that has them trading out in each other's brains.
Love the idea of Ford accidentally killing Stan with the crossbow, and in his grief and panic makes a less than negotiated deal that has Stan's consciousness/soul alive in his brain. Stan stuck in there, feeling the exhaustion and the pain and scolding Ford into taking care of himself. He can't read all of Ford's brain or anything, but he can read Ford's thoughts as he thinks them.
Or, on the flip side, Ford is killed by Bill or something, and Stanford "icarus didn't flap hard enough" Pines had a fail safe just in case. That goes wrong, and instead of this fail safe putting his soul in a clone body or something, it transfers him into his currently homeless, grifter brother's head.
Ford, disoriented as he comes to consciousness in a brain that isn't his own, just feels exhausted, hungover, in pain, hungry- he quickly figures out what happened, but thankfully Stan hadn't realized what happened yet. So long as Ford keeps his thoughts to himself, then Stan won't realize he has an unwanted passen- and what the fuck, Stanley is doing what?! Of course he's immediately scolding his idiot brother, and things spiral from there.

Ford what do you mean you fed Fiddleford 13 cups of coffee just to keep him awake
#hes my favorite cause this shit is almost too comedically casual to day in his oblivious form of writing#and then RIGHT AFTER Fiddleford warns him about remembering icarus to which fiddleford responds 'he didn't flap hard enough'#you're awful stanford you're awful. jesus christ. anyways youre my bae or something#gravity falls#fiddleford mcgucket#stanford pines#fiddauthor#idk whether i should call it fiddauthor but whatever#mint says shit

He chided me - as he often does - for staying up too late. "Don't forget what happened to Icarus," he told me as he packed up his things and left.
"He didn't flap hard enough," I replied.
-Stanford Pines, Journal 3
You know how some people say that the tale of Icarus was about him falling inlove with the sun? And how he wished to be close to something so dangerous and even with the warnings he was given, he flew too close. The sun couldn't save him or maybe it just wouldn't. yeah well there's this guy called Stanford Pines--
