Summary
Fiddleford McGucket loves his wife. He loves his son. He’s got a truck, a house, a plan, a project— but there is something distinctly... missing. Stanford Pines is finally free. There is nothing tying him down, he has his own home, a grant that keeps him funded, and research that keeps coming— but a lack of human companionship is something even his muse cannot quite provide.
Fidd jumps at the opportunity to assist an old friend when Ford finally calls him after years of nothing but letters. In a Shack away from prying eyes, with the companionship of someone that interacting with comes so easily, it is just as easy to fall back into old habits for better or for worse. As much as Ford adores his old friend, he doesn’t trust he won’t be misconstrued as a madman should the truth come out, and as much as Fiddleford is willing to open his eyes and try new things he can tell there is something very wrong with this idea he is helping Ford accomplish. "Impossible Year" follows the events of Fiddleford’s year with a “visiting researcher” and Ford’s writings of inventing the portal with his assistant, F. From the mundane moments of grocery shopping and pulling gnome hair from machinery, to the portal incident and the aftermath.

Summary
“Anyway, I called to let you know that—that is to say, I’m gettin’ married.”
The tapping of Ford’s foot comes to a stop.
It feels like the rest of the world should stop, too, then. He even sits there, perfectly still and with bated breath, giving Gravity Falls a picture-perfect opportunity to unshackle any of its regular irregularity. Any moment now, some supernatural being could intercept their call, or the laws of physics would be inexplicably broken, or maybe some gargantuan, never before seen beast would just barge through the cabin wall in a homicidal rampage, and Ford would welcome it all with open arms.
But the clock keeps ticking, the crickets keep chirping, and the world keeps spinning. It’s only him and his heart that’d stopped.
(Or: Fiddleford chose Ford to be the best man at his wedding. Neither one of them are particularly happy to be there.)

Summary
“You remind me of someone I knew from back home. Haven’t seen him in a while, but he was sorta like you. Awkward to all hell. Tried to cover it up by bein’ mean, but it didn’t come naturally. He was one bitter son of a bitch, I’ll tell you that.”
“You don’t know me.” Ford says spitefully.
“Not yet, I don’t. I certainly wouldn’t mind getting to know you.”-OR-
A series of oneshots depicting Fiddauthor throughout the years.

Summary
A stream of FiddAuthor college life to the early days of Gravity Falls, including but not limited to DD&MD and homemade moonshine.
Originally a oneshot, but it got kinda cute. Individual chapters can be read standalone when they're out!
