Summary
Stanford Pines looks to save his father's failing business with a strange plant he finds during a solar eclipse, only to quickly discover it comes with a cost he could have never expected. This weird yellow thing feeds on blood–and it only keeps wanting more.
Also: A Gravity Falls x Little Shop of Horrors AU, with Ford as Seymour, Fiddleford as Audrey, and Bill as Audrey II!

Summary
While digging out the bunker much earlier than they do in canon, Stanford Pines and Fiddleford McGucket come across a peculiar egg. Upon it hatching, they soon find themselves in a dramatic world full of shapeshifting chaos, raising a child they can’t help but only see as a cryptid.
AKA I don’t like how Journal 3 handled Shifty so briefly and I want Shifty to be loved and cherished. So Ford and Fidds adopt him. And things get complicated.
Updates completely randomly because the author is swamped by work.
CHAPTER 3 IS NO LONGER A WIP!!! -

Summary
Will update as I put in more stuff, but I really like writing small blurbs about my fnaf AU! Will have a lot of stuff in it, so a comprehensive guide will be the first chapter, and the others will be the actual blurbs. They're only about a thousand words each, but I like my AU guys!
OCs will be mentioned. Maybe sometimes focused on, though that's rare.
This collection of blurbs includes Jen and William fighting, William and Mrs. Afton's relationship, William and Henry being weird and egotistical, angsty Jeremy F/implied Jeremike content, and much more. Read the tags and check out the guide! -

Summary
Fiddleford’s mindscape was a curious one. The atmosphere was very green, steampunk-ish, well put-together. There was a soft banjo playing in the background at all times, and a person was always at risk of getting hit with a floating puzzle. But the walls that had been built up over years of life were beginning to crack, and the pipes were creaking loudly.
It was everything Bill wanted.
Or, Fiddleford and Bill meet, and wow, things only go downhill from there! Trigger warnings in notes before every chapter.
HEAVILY inspired by MiaoGo’s Bill possessed Fiddleford comic they posted for Fiddtober day 18. But sadly being abandoned, make sure to read chapter 14 for why.

DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE READ PAST AT LEAST CHAPTER 9 OF MY FIC DEAL WITH THE DEVIL!!! This takes place about four weeks after chapter 10.
Ford and Fiddleford have a discussion that soon turns into a flourishing realization between both of them. Aka hurt/comfort and fluff as the -fords learn to navigate their new state.

Summary
“I solemnly swear to never acknowledge you again. Never to look you in your eyes again. Never to cry for you again, never to tie knots in each other's hair, never to breathe your air, never to touch your inner thigh, never to catch your stare. Never to be two boys together, clinging. Never to dare.”
Or,
Ford was a mistake to Fiddleford. He knew this. But that didn’t make attending his wedding any easier. For either of them.

Summary
It's been almost thirty years since Shifty crawled out of the lab like a zombie rising from the grave, since Stanford Pines fell beyond their reach. Thirty years of almost nightly work on a portal that refused to obey their and Stan's commands, no matter what they did. Thirty years since the start of the Mystery Shack and Shifty's alter ego, the unlikeable co-manager of said Shack. Hope is starting to wear thin, and frustration is running high.
But when a pair of twins begin to stumble upon the mysteries of the town, there might be something left to find after, be they solutions or secrets. Secrets that might as easily destroy Shifty as they could save them.

Summary
Bill Cipher begs the Axolotl for a second chance on the verge of death. The Axolotl agrees, like the bleeding-heart idiot that it is. All Bill has to do is pass a little trial. How hard can that be for a dream demon of unfathomable cosmic power?
He wakes up in 1979. And he is not a dream demon of unfathomable cosmic power.

Summary
Bill Cipher has not been doing well in theraprism.
In fact, he's made such little progress that The Axolotl is no longer sure if he can be redeemed.
Bill is given one last chance: return to Gravity Falls to make amends with the Pines family and prove he can change or be permanently erased from the fabric of the universe.
He jumps at the opportunity, confident he can find a way out of his agreement, but with the Pines keeping so close an eye on him, will he succeed? Or will his new human condition bring about a change of heart he hadn't anticipated?Alternatively:
The Pines try to teach a trillion year old dream demon about love and empathy.As of right now, I’m updating this every other Sunday. If you want to know about any delays, early updates, or to come interact and check out some cool fanart, you can find me here!
