Summary
Circumstance has never been kind to Stanley Pines - when had it ever?
But when he gets in over his head yet again, and nearly bleeds out his stitches in a dank alleyway in some shit-hole city in Texas, he wasn't expecting help to come in the form of a nurse from his home state with a similarly shitty situation on her hands.
Maybe they can help each other get the hell out of here, and maybe he can even get a friend in the process?
A loser like him can only hope...

When a Meteor Burns Out (abandoned and being rewritten!! :)) ) by anhgel (orphan_account)

Summary
"Shooting stars aren't actually stars, just meteors burning up in the atmosphere."
Mabel stepped out of the portal, squinting her eyes to protect it from the glare of this dimension.
The sky was bright, but she'll have to make do. Slinging her bag over her shoulder, she estimated how long the hike to the nearest market would take.10 miles? 20? She groaned, she should've gotten some sort of map when she had the chance.
In another dimension, Dipper traced the edges of his sisters sweater, the ends frayed from the constant radiation from the portal. Every attempt in re-opening the portal has been a failure, each run worse than the last. He sighed dejectedly, throwing the journal onto his desk before leaning back in his chair.
One day, it'll work.

Summary
Canon divergence in "Not What He Seems". A take on the Drifting Stars au where Dipper falls into the portal instead.
"Shoulders hunched up to his ears, Dipper looks around for any sign of life. Aside from the screeching of monsters, of course. He gets the feeling he wants to avoid those. He wipes his front off, kicking dust into the air. He coughs as some of it gets caught in his throat, and he squints at the red, glowing sky. The hairs on his arms stand on end as he looks into the red and orange void, and a wave of dizziness washes over him momentarily. He lifts a hand to rest it on the side of his head.
'Mabel?' he calls out, quietly. Despite the low volume, his voice still echoes, somehow heard over the roaring of the creatures hiding in the distance. He swallows heavily, his heart in the back of his throat. 'Soos?' He hesitates, afraid to say the name, 'Grunkle Stan?'
No answers."

Summary
“Don’t touch that button!”
Stan’s chest is heaving with exertion and the muscles in his legs are burning in ways he had forgotten were even possible. His eyes scan over Soos and Mabel, finally landing on Dipper, whose hand is hovering just inches above the kill switch.
Stan holds up his hands in a placating gesture and slowly creeps into the room towards them. He’s so close, so close to getting his brother back, it can’t end like this. He knows he’s a fuck-up, even more so now that he’s staring into the kids’ terrified eyes. He tried. He tried to keep them away from all of this shit, but that’s yet another thing he failed to do right.
“Dipper, just back away,” he says, as gently as he can. Stan walks towards him slowly, keeping his hands in front of him. He sucks in a shaky breath when he gets close enough to see the expression on Dipper’s face.
Anger. Disappointment. Betrayal. Distrust. Hatred.
The kid’s always reminded him of his brother, after all.
OR
a re-write of Ford's return scene (s02e11- s02e12) where Ford doesn't punch Stan, and instead gives him a much deserved hug.

Summary
A Gravity falls drifting stars au mixed with “the last of us”
A bright storm of colours engulfs a young girl, zapping and searching all over her like a rain pour of lightning. A feeling of thousands of ants, charged up with electricity, rampages up her bare legs, skating off to reach every part of her body. Gushes of wind soars past her ears as everything feels so unbearably loud, yet somehow quiet at the same time. She didn’t dare to open her eyes as the explosion of colours have now twisted into a nauseating spiral, dancing around the girls small frame as she continued to fall….

Summary
“But we can work together. Especially with your nerd brain we can get that thing working quadruple as fast as I ever could. Not to mention we have all three journals.” Stan looked into Dipper’s eyes. “Whaddya say, kid?”
Dipper was quiet. His breath hitched in his throat, and his chest shuddered and shook. “Anything to get Mabel back,” he whispered brokenly.
