ANOTHER Gravity Falls x Hunger Games AU 😭

So the concept of this AU was made with one simple question: “What if Katniss and Peeta were Dipper and Mabel’s parents?”

The lizard that lives in my skull immediately got to work and here’s everything you need to know :3

1: This AU still takes place in 2012, with the events of The Hunger Games taking place in 1992-1993.

2: Stan takes Haymitch’s role in this AU (sorry Haymitch I still love u pookie) but it’s actually Ford who participated in the 50th Hunger Games. Since Stan stole his identity, he had to mentor Katniss and Peeta for a death game he wasn’t even involved in. He was nervous and straight up worried that he might give the kids bad advice but he always hid it with a cocky and sarcastic facade that made Katniss see him as a dirty bastard. In actuality, his advice was pretty decent since he’s been living on the streets for 10 years and is an expert on violence.

3: The whole portal incident still happens obviously and he was working hard to bring Ford back when he got a call from President Snow himself. At first, he refused to go but when Snow told him he’d pay him handsomely he found himself in a train traveling to District 12 for the reaping.

4: Peeta is part of the Pines family in this AU, with Shermie being the baker. Stan is not happy that he was sending his nephew into the games, feeling like he was already losing another family member :(

5: I like to think Katniss sees a lot of Prim in Dipper, because of his mellowness. Every Mothers Day, Katniss lets Mabel take her out for a girls day and she gets pampered by Peeta and Dipper.

6: Coin was actually possessed by Bill after the portal incident. No, this doesn’t mean Coin was secretly a good guy all along, she was still planning to control Katniss but Bill discovered Coin’s power over the Rebellion and decided he wanted to get in on the action so he manipulated her into making a deal. He told her he could help her achieve her goals and the witch actually fell for it. When Coin died, Bill was sucked out of her body and went right back to the Nightmare realm.

7: Lucy Gray is actually the Axolotl’s human form. She wanted to experience human life and explore human morality, unfortunately she was born as a poor performer from District 12 who was put into a death game and died by being shot by Snow.

8: Katniss and Peeta don’t send the twins to Gravity Falls because they’re getting a divorce, it’s because there was an evil group of Snow-supporters who were going after them so they sent the twins to Stan while they dealt with “grown-up stuff”. By the end of summer, the group was destroyed and everything was back to normal…right?

9: Wendy idolizes Katniss because she sees her as what a woman should be, so she’s super stoked to find out that Dipper and Mabel are her kids. She loves to ramble on and on about the history of the Hunger Games and Katniss’ reputation as the Mockingjay, although Katniss herself doesn’t like talking about her role in the rebellion.

10: When they were little, Dipper and Mabel once saw Katniss and Peeta slow-dancing to a romantic song after they were supposedly “asleep”. When Peeta noticed the twins were watching, he just laughed and invited them in to dance with them. Soon the slow dance turned into an epic dance party.

11: Ever since that night, Mabel was desperate to find a boyfriend she could dance with and her parents’ sweet tender love was what shaped her boy crazy personality.

12: You know damn well that Dipper is gonna use the fact that he’s the son of a historic figure to his advantage when he’s in Gravity Falls. He tries to be strong and hardheaded like his mother mostly to impress Wendy but also because he genuinely admires her too.

13: This is also the reason why Stan is so tough on him, because he wants Dipper to know how important Katniss was and wanted him to follow in her footsteps. But he doesn’t tell her about this because he knows she’d disapprove of this behavior since she wants her kids to live normal lives. Stan believes he’s doing this for Dipper’s own good.

In the Dark with You

[starry-bi-sky]

I am loudly pushing the batdad agenda i am loudly pushing the— DPxDC Prompt

“Woah. You look like shit."

Granted, that’s probably not the first thing Danny should be saying to the guy that just bit the curb, but in his defense; he’s not running on 100% right now either.

The man -- tall, towering, and broader than Danny is tall -- whips around on his heel, black frayed cape flaring out impressively. Danny would've whistled in appreciation, but he takes the time instead to wipe the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing the blood running from his nose across his cheek.

"Sorry." He blinks widely, not even flinching as the man with the horns zeroes in on him. "That was rude of me. I have a really bad brain-to-mouth filter; Sam says its what always gets me into trouble."

And she's not wrong either, per say. His smart mouth is what landed him in this situation -- with blood blossom extract running through his veins and cannibalizing the ectoplasm in his bloodstream. Thanks Vlad.

The man grunts at him; a short, curt "hm" that shouldn't make Danny smile, but he does because he's somewhat delirious and probably concussed. The man keeps some kind of distance, sinking towards the shadows of Gotham's alleyway like he dares to melt right into it.

If it's supposed to scare Danny, it doesn't work. Danny's never been afraid of the dark; he's always been able to hide himself in it. He blinks slowly at the mass of shadows.

"You look hurt." The shadows says, blurring together around the edges. Danny squints, and licks his lips to get the blood dripping down his chin off. Ugh, he hates the taste of blood.

"I am." He says, "My godfather poisoned me. M'dying." The agony of the blood blossom eating him from the inside out looped back around to numbing a while ago, so all he feels is half-awake and dazed.

"Hey," Danny stumbles forward towards the man, a bloodied hand reaching out to him. "You-- you're a hero, right? You're not attacking me; which is more than I can say for most costumed people I've met." Maybe it's a poor bar to judge someone at, but he's already established that Danny's not in his right mind.

The man makes no change in expression, but Danny realizes blearily that it's hard to tell with the shadows on his face. He stays still long enough for Danny to latch onto the cape -- stretchy, but almost soft under his fingers.

He looks up blearily into the whites of the man's eyes. "Can you help me? I don't-- I don't wanna die." Again. He doesn't wanna die again. He blinks slow and lizard-like. "I mean- I'll probably get to see mom and dad again, but I told them I'd at least try and make it to adulthood."

There's a clatter down the street, and Danny's ghost sense chills up his spine and leaves a bitter, ashy taste in his mouth. He immediately knows who it belongs to even before the deceptively gentle; "Daniel?" echoes down the way.

"Daniel? Quit your games, badger, Gotham is dangerous for children."

Danny's mouth pulls back, and blood spills against his tongue. "Please." He rasps, and grabs onto the shadow's cape with both hands. "Please. He's going to kill me. Please--"

"Daniel? Is that you?"

His lips part, dragging in air to plead with the darkness again. He doesn't need to, the whites of his eyes narrow, and the cape whirls around him before Danny can blink. Soon swaddled in shadows, the Night lifts him up, and steals him away.

He’s healthier, happier, his hair and wings have grown back out and have a pretty blue-black sheen to them (that he never knew he had bc in hels his diet and environment only let them be dull) and he just heard the sound of a portal opening for someone to come visit~!

dark faerie!simon who meets you, a light faerie, by pure coincidence at the border between light and dark realms.

dark faerie!simon who is the complete opposite of you, shrouded in smoky shadows, embodying the act of malice and evil, while you’re a gleaming ball of angelic light, radiating purity and kindness.

dark faerie!simon who aims to trick you into being his friend so that he could turn you over into his realm, where light faeries are looked down upon as weak beings.

dark faerie!simon who ends up falling in love with you instead when you gift him a handmade necklace. he was bewitched by your soft nature, like a sailor lured to the call of a siren.

dark faerie!simon whose wings begin to shift in color, lightening from their raven hue and morphing into an ashy white while your wings begin to darken to a menacing black.

dark faerie!simon who is prohibited from seeing you again, forbidden from returning to the border between your worlds, forced to remain chained and locked up in his own realm in attempts to shift him back to the dark faerie he was born as.

dark faerie!simon whose body begins to reject its sudden change, his wings becoming fragile and cracked, leaving him unable to fly. his skin becoming transparent, as if he were fading away.

dark faerie!simon who you break across the border to see despite the realm’s rules, only to discover his body had withered into his ash, like a flower losing its petals, with the necklace you gifted him lying absently in the dying grass.

light faerie!reader who was so lost in their grief towards simon’s death that they failed to notice the curse of falling in love beginning to fall on to them, starting with the subtle crack of their wings, just as it had started for simon.

 Danny and his haunt are more than a little distressed to find out that Pariah Dark can’t be destroyed and can only be sealed away due to being the Ancient of Darkness. Danny is worried about someone trying to wake him up again, while his friends are more worried about the ghost going after the newborn Ancient of Space again. 

 They scour libraries, search high and low in both the Ghost Zone and the living world for a solution before finally just asking Clockwork. 

 And well, they feel like just a bit of idiots but also elated. 

 Because if Danny can become the new embodiment of space, then what’s to stop them from giving the power of darkness to someone else that’s not Pariah Dark? 

 They make a list of requirements, ask both ghosts and living friends. There’s nothing in their world, no one quite right, but what about other worlds? The realms are supposedly infinite right? So there had to be someone out there. 

 And while it takes a long, long time, they eventually find one when a small bloodied ghost of greens, golds, and reds comes forth shyly, eyes burning with determination. He speaks of heroes and villains- far more than their own world- of a city cloaked in shadow and of a single man trying to help despite it seeming impossible. 

 Who better to become the new Dark besides the dark knight himself after all?

snippets from a reincarnation AU in which Doflamingo was shot instead of Rosinante and died, but got reincarnated as a little boy that Rosi found during a Marine mission.

now, Rosi tries his hardest to raise his little (big) brother and not let him fall back into turning evil...but the lingering guilt of having killed Doffy might turn Rosi into a monster himself

(there's a lot more to this AU, but this is basically the jist of it lol)
