Summary
“You don’t have to,” Ford hedges. “But I’d read that nightmares are statistically less common in experimental test subjects sharing a bed, as opposed to the control group who sleep alone. I’ve only found a few studies, as the topic isn’t well researched, but at this point I’m willing to try anything. That is, if you're willing.”
Stan blinks at him, sure he’s heard wrong. “Did you just use science words to tell me you wanna snuggle?”
Or, in which Ford is exhausted, and Stan's determined to fix it.

Summary
Ever wondered why Stan Pines is scared of heights? Well, there's certainly a backstory for it. But it's not as silly or wholesome as you would assume.
---
Stan is nervous to see Ford after ten years, but he knows he has to see his brother one last time before he says goodbye forever. All he wants is to ask for forgiveness and to know that is isn't hated by the only person who ever loved him. But when he gets to Gravity Falls, he is hit with disappointment. Ford made him come all this way just to tell him to get out of his life?
---
Ford is not particularly looking forward to seeing his brother - the man who ruined his only chance of escaping the poverty cycle, but he's desperate. Tormented by Bill Cipher, he has barely slept in weeks and feels himself losing touch with reality, becoming more and more irritable and short-tempered.
All he needs is for Stan to take the journal and leave, but the idiot refuses. As days pass & tensions rise, Ford learns a terrible lesson. Sometimes you forget to appreciate the people who love you the most - and worse - by the time you realise, it's too late.
The only question left is whether Ford will learn his lesson in time.

Summary
You meet a female Stanley Pines at a bar one night, and try to work up the courage to go and talk to her. You chicken out at the last second, but not all hope is lost.
First chapter is build up, second is smut (nothing too freaky, honestly it's slightly fluffy).

Summary
“I’m just…thinking.”
“Well, can you think out loud?” Will gripes, sounding tense and unhappy even as he settles back against Mike’s chest. “You’re making me nervous.”
Mike laughs a little. “I’m not sure I should; I don’t want to freak you out.”
“Mike,” and Will sounds supremely unimpressed, “I just took control of three Demos, two of which were miles away, and proceeded to snap their limbs and kill them with my mind. Not only that, I just told you that I did it by drawing strength, in large part, from being your friend. You’re worried about freaking me out? Really?”
“Yeah, and I’m the guy who watched you do it and thought that it was the hottest thing I’d ever seen in my life, so what does that say about me?”
There’s a long, shocked silence.
“See, this is why I don’t think out loud,” Mike jokes weakly.
--
Mike falls a little bit more in love with Will because, at this point, who wouldn't? He just saved Mike's life, after all. Unfortunately, the others don't quite see it that way, and it's getting to Will a little bit. Mike intends to remedy that.
Immediately following the ending of season 5 episode 4: Sorcerer
