Summary
Tracey and Quinn have been traveling on their own for almost a year, and it’s been challenging to say the least.
Copies aren’t meant to last this long, and they’re certainly not equipped to live in the wilderness- especially a place as dangerous as Gravity Falls. Yet the unfortunate duo is trying anyway, because the only thing harder would be accepting the fact that they were doomed to fail from the start, just like all the other Dipper clones.
After a surprise thunderstorm turns their nomadic lifestyle on its head, the faux twins discover they may not be as alone as they first thought…

Summary
“It's okay,” Stan told himself. “He's family. He won't bite.” With that, he knocked firmly on the door.
There was a moment of silence. Then the door was flung open hard enough it bounced on its hinges, and he took a step back as his brother came bursting out of the entrance.
“Stan!” Ford said, beaming. “It’s so good to see you!”

Summary
Oh, as if Ford’s dislike of this child could get any worse—
“You summoned Bill back into this dimension?!” he hissed.
“You don’t understand!” Gideon whined. "I summoned him back ‘cause of a-a journal I found.”
Ford’s heart stopped in his chest. Blood freezing in his veins. Oh no.
“You’ve read my journals, too?”
“What?” he squeaked. “Your journals?”Or, the missing scene where Gideon meets his hero and Ford gets to deal with another fanboy.

Summary
Stanford and Stanley Pines, freshly sixteen, are flung forward into 1983 after fighting over a half-broken time tape that neither of them wanted to be fighting over. Their relationship, usually so concrete, had begun to strain - and the argument over the time machine gets out of hand. The future is not what either of them expects to find.
Stanford, stranded in New Mexico and utterly alone, finds himself out of his depth when he comes across a much older version of his brother who is homeless and struggling to make ends meet.
Stanley, stranded in Oregon and burned by the broken time tape, has his worst fears confirmed when he finds an older version of his brother who is driven to the brink by paranoia and forces unknown.
----
There are mentions of sex at various points, but no explicit descriptions. There is, however, lots of violence. This is a story about trauma & a bond between brothers, explored in a timestuck format.

Summary
Young Stanley and Stanford Pines find themselves pulled into a weird portal and thrown into 1981.
--
Stan simply held him close, sharing his body heat in the cold bathroom air.
Despite everything they’d gone through, Stan still decided to be there with Ford in this moment. Every moment of anger, every moment of anguish and pain, everything melted away in the face of mortality.
In the safety of his brother’s arms, Ford continued to cry.

Summary
When Ford starts receiving completely silent phone calls for no clear reason, he sees it not as an annoyance, but as an opportunity. Who better to use as a sounding board for all your complaints than someone who never talks back?

If Home Is Where The Heart Is (Then We’re All Just Fucked) by FallOutFandoms
Fandoms: Gravity Falls

Summary
Ford is back after Stan activated the portal, and they’re both settling as well as they can. Which is, unsurprisingly, not well at all. When Ford tells Stan that he needs to be out of his house at the end of summer, Stan…doesn’t take it very well.
Emotions run high, traumas resurface, and Ford realizes just how much Stan has gone through since they were eighteen. It’s not pretty.
(AKA a rewrite of the ending from ‘A Tale of Two Stans’ with a significantly angstier, yet somehow far more hopeful confrontation.)

Summary
The Duchess Approves is terrible. He wants to bleach every brick of his body just to purify himself of this three hour experience. He wants to pluck out his eyeball and treat it to a ten-day spa as reparations. He demands a sequel from the Axolotl during their next therapy session.
The Axolotl tilts their head. “There's no sequel. Only one movie has ever been made.”
Bill glowers. “But what happens after?”
“Production went into debt after casting big name Grampton St. Rumpterfrabble,” the Axolotl answers sadly. “Rumor has it he charges fifty thousand per letter.”
“Wonderful,” Bill drawls. “Real useful information. So what am I supposed to do now, doc?”
The Axolotl’s eyes gleam suspiciously. “I suppose there’s always fanfiction.”
Or: Bill hates a certain fanfic author almost as much as he hates the man who killed him. Crazy, wouldn't it be, if the two were the same person.

Summary
Stanford turned the postcard over in his hands, and the picturesque vista of New Mexico gave way to an all-too-familiar sloppy scrawl.
It simply said, "PLEASE COME."
Perhaps Stanley could be of aid one last time...
(or, very has once again injected Ideas into my brain. today on the hyperfixation show: what if ford wasn't the one who sent the postcard?)

Summary
Ford is hung up on his brother, Stan, and it's getting in the way of the portal's progress. Bill has the bright idea to show Ford exactly how Stan's doing nowadays, in hopes that it'll drive the wedge between them much deeper.
--
“See, Sixer, I’m not telling you this because I think it’s funny. I’m telling you that Stanley doesn’t care about you because I do. I care about you, Stanford, and I’m the only one who does. I’ll give you the chance to see for yourself. How’s that?”
Under most circumstances, Ford is elated whenever Bill offers to share his vast knowledge with him. The proposition of an experience firsthand is something Ford always accepts with a bright smile.
Now, his brow twists in confusion and worry.
“H-how, my muse?”
“I know where he is. I can send you to him, and you two can work out the details from there.”Bookmarked by Salty_Sandy

The phone calls start almost immediately after Ford moves out of Glass Shard Beach.
They don't stop when he moves out to Gravity Falls. They certainly do get more interesting, though.

Summary
Stan tries to blink his eyes back into focus, but he’s still seeing white. Fuck, did that thing blind him? He waves a hand in front of his eyes, a little surprised when his fingers clearly come into view against the white. Okay, he can still see, but if he’s not blind, then that means…
Horror dawns on him as he realizes he’s staring at the snowy exterior of Ford’s house. His trembling hands come up to rest on the steering wheel. He’s back in his car. What the fuck?
Stan’s mind is racing. How did he get back out here? His eyes dart to the clock on the dashboard, but wait, that can’t be right. He doesn’t know exactly how long he spent in Ford’s place, half an hour? An hour, maybe? But no, the hands haven’t moved an inch.
OR
Stan finds himself stuck in a time loop on the day that he visits Ford in Oregon after ten long years apart. Stan struggles to keep Ford safe and figure out what's making him so paranoid while also trying to understand and escape the time loop. He's beginning to think that he's doomed to be a loser, but he's not sure which is worse: losing his brother or losing his mind.

Summary
He groaned. “Listen, kids, I don’t know what’s going on, but I can almost definitely assure you that whatever is going on with Ford is nothing to-“
“P-Pa?”
All three heads snap towards the bush, where a full head of floppy brown hair and a pair of large dark terrified eyes poked out of it. The boy removed the too large glasses that refused to sit on his nose and wiped his eyes with a sleeve that went beyond his arm, the sweater also clearly too large for him.
Stan was pretty sure his heart stopped. “Ford?”
