  Summary

  Nostalgia is a mind's trick, If I'd been there - I'd hate it. I don't belong, but my beloved neither do you. So I'm setting off, but not without my muse.

  Stanford and Stanley Pines return from their journey to settle down once again in Gravity Falls, but they're in for a new beginning. Bill Cipher is being transferred into their care to reconcile their differences and help overcome past grievances.

  Ford and Bill come to realize that they may become closer throughout the process than originally anticipated. Delving into their unresolved issues may just bring them closer than ever. Can they truly find middle ground after the decades long rift between them?
