Everything Seems Rather Sanguine by Bookwormgal for curiousCanine
Fandoms: Gravity Falls
15 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
Sanguine - 1) optimistic or positive, especially in an apparently bad or difficult situation. 2) blood-red.
1969: Seventeen-year-old Stanley Pines is thrown out of his home and left to fend for himself. He does not make it out of Glass Shard Beach alive.
2013: Dipper and Mabel Pines are sent to spend the summer with their eccentric and reclusive scientist great-uncle, Stanford Pines, in a small town called Gravity Falls, along with the man's strangely young brother who lives with him. It does not take them long to figure out that a lot of unusual and weird things happen in that town, all carefully documented in their grunkle's journals. More concerning is the recent string of attacks that are beginning to sound more and more like they were caused by a vampire... which turn out to be the one creature that Grunkle Ford refuses to discuss.

Summary
Bill Cipher's 47th attempt at building a portal with the help of dolphins at Atlantis was somehow less successful than the one that Modoc the Wise built. It did not connect to the Nightmare Realm at all. All it did was create a deep circular hole in the seabed and left behind some directionless energy that could theoretically be used for transportation over a limited distance. But only if it was somehow triggered after thousands of years of doing nothing.
It was somehow triggered.
The good news: Stan and Ford have the unique opportunity to investigate part of the long-lost underwater city of Atlantis. The bad news: The long-lost city of Atlantis is underwater.

Regrets, Faded Memories, and the Dangers of Impulsive Wishes by Bookwormgal for sacklunch
Fandoms: Gravity Falls
07 Nov 2025

Summary
The moment that Bill Cipher got his hands on a Time Wish, that should have been the moment that he won. His failure with Weirdmageddon wiped away and his victory retroactively established.
Except that when he had the power to have anything that he desired, an older mistake took priority: Euclydia restored as if it was never destroyed and Bill Cipher back home just as he always wanted.
After everything that had happened, Ford would not allow Bill to simply run off to a happy ending. When the Axolotl requested that Ford attempt to convince Bill to return to Theraprism for his own good, it was a perfect opportunity to hunt Bill down to destroy him once and for all. It was everything that Bill deserved.
Except when Ford arrived in Euclydia (with some minor changes to help him blend in), things were not quite as simple as he'd imagined. And the Bill that he found there was very different from the former ruler of the Nightmare Realm and monster that he'd sworn to kill.
(Based on sacklunch's "Time Wish AU/Do-Over AU")

Summary
The metal plate in Ford's head shielded his mind enough to prevent Bill Cipher from gaining access. And as an added side effect, it also provided enough shielding to protect his mind from the effects of Fiddleford's memory gun.
It did not, however, provide perfect protection against his forgotten prototype. Which was more powerful, but far less precise. Like comparing a scalpel to a chainsaw.
The metal plate provided enough protection that Ford only lost his most recent memories. And both Stanley and Fiddleford had already proven that it was possible to retrieve those memories with some work. There was no reason to be overly upset about a mere accident.
But since his last memories were of him and his brother at sea a few months after Weirdmageddon, Ford was left dealing with several changes. Dipper and Mabel were noticeably older. The Mystery Shack had expanded. And there was someone that should have been dead and gone that his family were far too casual and comfortable having around.

Summary
It felt like Bill’s entire existence was defined by him accomplishing things that should be impossible, for good or ill.
It should have been impossible to have been born and survived; his single eye in the middle of his body instead of a pair on opposite edges and all of his organs getting shoved around to accommodate that rather major change shouldn’t have worked. It should have been impossible to see the stars and the third dimension. It should have been impossible to show all of Euclydia those beautiful and impossible stars and everything that surrounded their dimension.
...All right, that impossibility did end badly, but he did accomplish it.
It should have been impossible to take over the Nightmare Realm. It should have been impossible to slow the destabilization of the Nightmare Realm enough to give them time to find a solution. It should have been impossible to find and convince any of the humans to build an interdimensional portal. And even if he could manipulate one, it should have been impossible to find one capable of putting together the technology to actually succeed.
It should have been impossible for a night of karaoke and drinks in Ford’s mind to have any actual consequences…

“A Summary of the Biology and Culture of the Second Dimension Prior to the Euclydian Massacre” by Dr. Polly Gunafile, PhD by Bookwormgal
Fandoms: Gravity Falls
12 Feb 2025

Summary
While studies of various ancient or even extinct species across the multiverse have been made by numerous paleoxenologists, those studies have been focused on intact dimensions. Even when individual planets are destroyed, it is still easier to find evidence and draw conclusions. The complete collapse and destruction of Dimension 2 (Euclydia) has made it difficult to properly understand the people who inhabited the dimension prior to their near extinction one trillion years ago.
This study will attempt to fill this gap in knowledge about the Euclydians before the extinction event. Drawing on secondary sources and less-detailed studies, comparing similar dimensions that still exist such as Dimension 2-D (Exwhylia), and extrapolating based on Bill Cipher while taking into account the established differences between him and the rest of his species, it is hoped that this study will provide a comprehensive overview of what the Euclydians might have been like.
It is not, despite what certain colleagues have claimed, proof that I find shape-people attractive. Just because my species has tentacles does not mean that we’re all kinky. This is purely scientific interest.
