Summary
After Theraprism, reincarnation, and time, Bill and Ford's relationship has improved enough that it has finally come to pass. Proposals have been made and accepted. Invitations have been sent. Cake has been ordered.
Bill and Ford are going to be married.
Of course, there are some minor complications. Due to a lack of experience in that particular field of studies, Ford begins worrying about the societal expectations regarding the wedding night and his desire not to disappoint his soon-to-be husband. And he's not completely certain the best way to research such a topic.
Meanwhile, Dipper and Mabel have a different concern about the upcoming event. If Gravity Falls and its inherent weirdness prove to be too much for their parents, they might decide not to allow their children to ever return. And considering how the Pines family tends to attract trouble, hiding the true nature of the place might be a team effort.

Regrets, Faded Memories, and the Dangers of Impulsive Wishes by Bookwormgal for sacklunch
Fandoms: Gravity Falls
16 Oct 2025
Tags
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
Not all anomalies are contained within the borders of Gravity Falls. Sometimes the strange, the mysterious, and the dangerous could be found somewhere else. Stan and Ford might have a great deal of experience with weirdness, but that does not mean that they are invincible. And a chance encounter with something old and predatory left one of them fighting for his life.
And while Bill does not regret his new life in most circumstances, reincarnation meant that he was essentially human and limited in countless ways. Which meant that when disaster struck the Pines family, he could not immediately fix the problem. He was powerless as any other human. And that feeling of helplessness was terrifying. Almost as terrifying as the idea that they wouldn't be able to stop what was happening.

Summary
After a couple thousand years of them prying, forcing him to accept the truth under a lifetime of lies to everyone and himself, cracks began to form. Metaphorical cracks where emotions banished long ago came crawling back.
Guilt. Regret. Grief.
But when his protective shell of denial, delusions, and repression crumbled and they broke down the triangle into something more self-aware, the next step of rebuilding him back didn’t go as planned. Bill might have finally admitted and felt remorse for a lot of his actions. But nothing could motivate him to try atoning for them. He didn’t see the point in trying.
Atonement was meant to correct previous wrongdoings so they weren’t hanging over them when they reincarnated. And his vague understanding was that atonement could be achieved by either undoing the consequences of his previous actions, doing some equivalent act of good for other people, or demonstrating some other expression of those feelings of remorse that were plaguing him. Except none of them seemed relevant to his situation.
Was there anything good that he could do that would equal the destruction of his entire home dimension, let alone everything that he’d done in the trillion years since?

Instinctively Family by Bookwormgal

11 Sep 2024
Summary
Once upon a time, he ended up responsible for a pair of teenage Keyblade wielders who were technically toddlers when it came to actual life experience. If he was going to blame anyone for that, he should probably blame Saïx since he assigned him the task of keeping an eye on Roxas during his early zombie-like days. But then Roxas and Xion ended up his best friends and he would have done anything to protect them. And then he did try everything to get them back.
But even after the half-pints had existed again, it wasn't really over. They needed someone to look after them and help them out. It wasn't like they knew how to exist outside of Organization XIII. They had never been real people with real lives. And yes, they were absolutely lethal on a battlefield and could definitely beat Lea to a pulp in a fight if they were ever forced to go at full strength. But they still needed someone to take care of them.
And Lea honestly seemed to have a habit of taking in strays in general and Keyblade wielders specifically. He would have sacrifice anything to have his friends back. And now that he's regained them, he'll just need figure out what comes next. It can't be that hard to give them an actual life and a home.

Summary
Adam Young was meant to be the Anti-Christ. His entire purpose was to cause the end of the world. In many ways, he was the Chosen One, albeit for a rather dark path. But he was raised completely human and normal, without any unusual expectations of him beyond being a regular boy. He remained unaware of his heritage or destiny until the very end. And though he was chosen, he did not accept his role and rejected it and his connection to Lucifer.
Warlock Dowling was not chosen. He was born as an ordinary child, with no special skills or powers. He should have lived an average life. But he was raised with certain Expectations. Occult and ethereal entities Expected him to be the Anti-Christ. He was not chosen or fated for such a role, but reality tends to bend a little when angels and demons have Expectations.
In the end, it is just a series of choices.

Summary
Bill Cipher is not having a good time at the Theraprism. Being a powerless, living creature was definitely not on his list of expectations and, on top of that, he is being treated like a lesser being by both the staff and patients.
Meanwhile, Mabel Pines isn't having a good time at college. She couldn't get into the same college as Dipper, not even in a second application. Instead, she had to go to a small community college alone where she's dealing with mean roommates, hard classes and missing Dipper and her family, even though she's really happy for him.So, naturally, the Axolotl decided that connecting the two would be a great idea. In their mind, Mabel could help Bill open up, whilst Bill could help Mabel develop a bit of a stronger personality. But, as always, nothing goes like planned when Bill Cipher is allowed to interact with Pines family.
This fic now has Billford, because I have absolutely zero self control.
And now the rating changed to mature because Bill and Ford got too freaky (but at least they’re detoxifying the yaoi). Is there any hope for Bill or will he remain the prisoner of the Theraprism forever? -
