Regrets, Faded Memories, and the Dangers of Impulsive Wishes by Bookwormgal for sacklunch
Fandoms: Gravity Falls
03 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
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.

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
It felt like Bill’s entire existence was defined by him accomplishing things that should be impossible, for good or ill.
It should have been impossible to have been born and survived; his single eye in the middle of his body instead of a pair on opposite edges and all of his organs getting shoved around to accommodate that rather major change shouldn’t have worked. It should have been impossible to see the stars and the third dimension. It should have been impossible to show all of Euclydia those beautiful and impossible stars and everything that surrounded their dimension.
...All right, that impossibility did end fairly badly, but he did accomplish it.
It should have been impossible to take over the Nightmare Realm. It should have been impossible to slow the destabilization of the Nightmare Realm enough to give them time to find a solution. It should have been impossible to find and convince any of the humans to build an interdimensional portal. And even if he could manipulate one, it should have been impossible to find one capable of putting together the technology to actually succeed.
It should have been impossible for a night of karaoke and drinks in Ford’s mind to have any actual consequences…

Summary
With everyone returning to Gravity Falls during Spring Break for Soos and Melody's wedding, they should have expected at least a little chaos. But they would have expected it to be something like gnomes trying to kidnap the bride or maybe someone from the future coming back to interrupt the ceremony. A portal abruptly opening up and dragging them to another dimension wasn't on the list.
But Ford recognized the dimension as one he'd visited before. He'd described it as a "better world" in his brief Journal entry. And while they sort out the return trip, which should not be that difficult with their working portal, there shouldn't be much harm in showing his family around. He might even be able to learn a few more things about the place; the last time he'd spent most of his visit in an isolated lab working on the Quantum Destabilizer with the parallel dimensional version of Fiddleford.
Though it became clear rather quickly that it might not be a "better world" in the ways that mattered. And they also realized that they should definitely hide the fact that Bill had reincarnated into a human and was currently with them.
It might also be best not to mention that Bill and Ford were together.

“A Summary of the Biology and Culture of the Second Dimension Prior to the Euclydian Massacre” by Dr. Polly Gunafile, PhD by Bookwormgal
Fandoms: Gravity Falls
13 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
While studies of various ancient or even extinct species across the multiverse have been made by numerous paleoxenologists, those studies have been focused on intact dimensions. Even when individual planets are destroyed, it is still easier to find evidence and draw conclusions. The complete collapse and destruction of Dimension 2 (Euclydia) has made it difficult to properly understand the people who inhabited the dimension prior to their near extinction one trillion years ago.
This study will attempt to fill this gap in knowledge about the Euclydians before the extinction event. Drawing on secondary sources and less-detailed studies, comparing similar dimensions that still exist such as Dimension 2-D (Exwhylia), and extrapolating based on Bill Cipher while taking into account the established differences between him and the rest of his species, it is hoped that this study will provide a comprehensive overview of what the Euclydians might have been like.
It is not, despite what certain colleagues have claimed, proof that I find shape-people attractive. Just because my species has tentacles does not mean that we’re all kinky. This is purely scientific interest.

Summary
(Based on 1spooky2me’s Fixer Upper AU)
Bill Cipher has made enough progress in ten thousand years of non-time in the Theraprism to destroy his protective shell of denial and lies that kept the past guilt from ever touching him. Unfortunately, that is about the point where his progress stopped: where he admitted to his mistakes, but not yet willing to try atoning for them. Why bother? It wasn't as if he could ever fix anything that actually mattered. And even if he did, he would be reincarnated into a very primitive creature with no memory of his previous life and wouldn't even be himself anymore.
Except outside and foreseen circumstances yanked him out of the Theraprism's dimension and dumped him back into a different and very familiar one. While also shoving him into a newly-created alive-ish human-shaped body.
The Axolotl decides to take advantage of the new opportunity this presents to see if "community service" and being productive would produce better results. He does want Bill to heal, recover, and have a chance at a new life.
And thus Bill ends up stuck working in the Mystery Shack for Soos. Right as summer begins and the Pines are due to return.
No one is happy about this.

Summary
Most of the memories that did belong to him included Ford. He wished so badly that Ford was here so Stan could say goodbye, so Stan wouldn’t have to be alone when he died.
“Stanley?”
Now he was hearing Ford’s voice. Must be the blood loss.

Summary
After shattering Jasper Steven worries he is too much of a danger to those he loves to stay in beach city. Instead of running off to Homeworld, he ends up finding himself stuck in a little town called ‘Gravity Falls’, where he is taken in by a sweet little family who are visiting for the Summer.
With Steven’s mental state decreasing, his family panicking over his whereabouts and the Pines family having literally no idea who he truly is things can’t really go so well. Oh stars, what has he gotten himself into this time?Update: Sorry, I’ve sort of put this on hold and I’m not sure if I’ll finish it or not. I love Steven universe and LOVED writing fanfics (might continue in other fandoms) but unfortunately my watching of the show coincided with a not so great part of my life, and I’m not 100% comfortable with watching it or thinking too much about it at the moment. I might be in the future (joke only partially intended) but for now until I get over it all I’m happier leaving it. I’m sorry if anyone was still reading it and feel free to use ideas/plot from this to inspire you if you wanna write something similar of your own.

Summary
Pop hadn’t done Stan many favors even before kicking him out, but he did teach him the most important part of a scam: a good handshake.
Look ’em in the eye. Shake their hands firmly, like a man. Stand up straight and lie until you what you want to be true becomes true, whether it’s this watch is solid 24k gold or the Rip Off won’t give you rashes or I choose one brilliant mind a century.
(or: the Same Coin AU where Stan remembers during Weirdmageddon)

Summary
“Go ahead. Blow my brains out. I know you want to. Besides, Stanley Pines has been dead for years anyway.” Stan felt dead long before he took his brother’s identity. “Bringing you back was the only reason I didn’t off myself years ago.”
Ford just stood there with his mouth agape like a deer in the headlights.
“Just do it! Pull the trigger! PULL THE TRIGGER, STANFORD!”
