You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll wow at some of the things he does with the Tumblr and [=DeviantArt=] formats.

| 18 | ** Tags: Stories tend to be about Dipper, Mabel, and Stan, most of them set in imaginary seasons two-five, with the kids growing up along the way. The author loves Wendip, but not explicit, and the tales range from funny to angsty. My favorites: "A Father and Daughter Talk," with a 19-year-old Wendy and her dad sharing beers as she confesses her feelings for a 16-year-old Dipper. There are also "The Big Con," which brings the GF crowd into the real world, where they enter a Masquerade at a convention, hoping to win first place, "Trans Pacifica," which has a hilarious ending, and "A Taste of Ashes," which is surprisingly moving at times and reads like one of the darker episodes. As of Dec 2016, there's one called "Christmas at the Shack," which is remarkably sweet and emotional. It's different from Super Grover Away's "Christmas with a Corduroy," but just about as good, especially if you like a kind of innocent Wendip. Update: as of March 2020, this writer is the Energizer Bunny, with in excess of 2,000,000 words of Gravity Falls fanfiction. The range is astonishing, from laugh-out-loud to tragic. Check out "Markers," which did the impossible and brought tears to my eyes. The author seems to be doubling up, and his stories are also available at the other fanfic archive as well. |

| 30 | ** Tags: He's written quite a few Gravity Falls fanfictions, but my favorite one is "What Do Angels Look Like," which focuses on a young girl named Avy who Dipper finds and takes in after finding out her father abused her. It's one of the most emotional and heartwarming fics I've read, and I think it deserves more attention. When you're done with that, another fic I'd recommend is "Dipper and Mabel Jr," though it hasn't been completed yet. He's also written a few Pinecest stories, but I'm willing to forgive him for that. |

| 34 | ** Tags: Has written over 70 Gravity Falls stories, mostly one-shots, but also the multi-chapter "Little Shack of Horrors", a [[LittleShopOfHorrors Little Shop of Horrors]] parody. Many of the stories are humorous, but the author also expands into horror, hurt/comfort, family, and angst, among others. Does an excellent job writing Dipper and Mabel's sibling relationship. Has also started a "future AU" series of one-shots, with the twins as adults. |

| 52 | ** Tags: This author has written a handful of delightfully quirky Gravity Falls fics, some of which focus on character speculation, and others that explore rarer pairings. Laced throughout all of them is an interesting use of metaphors and creative narrative. It's a bit sticky in some places, especially their first story (a Recess crossover), but the overall characterizations are great. One that especially stands out to this troper is Never Eat Soggy Waffles, a fluffy and wonderfully peculiar narrative about Stan and the twins driving around in a harebrained scheme that ultimately has them crossing paths with the still evolving character of Pacifica after Northwest Mansion Noir. |

| 74 | ** Tags: Dipcifica, New Generation, OCs |
| 75 | ** Comments: This author has created a Dipcifica-focused, next-generation continuity, and it is those characters who the stories primarily focus on, however, the canon characters are still very much involved, and there are a number of stories focusing on Dipper and Pacifica's relationship. Thus far there are three completed chapter stories, with over sixty shorter stories sprinkled in between, fleshing out a detailed and consistent continuity. The writing style is very literary in feeling, the characterisation is very consistent, there are plenty of fun callbacks and references to the original series, and the author has ''really'' done their research into almost any topic that will appear in the text, particularly codes and ciphers. Very enjoyable. |

| 81 | ** Sypnosis: Bill Cipher gets resurrected as a human, and the Pines Family must keep him prisoner in the Mystery Shack until they figure out what to do with him. |
| 82 | ** Comments: Ckret2 has written an amazing Bill Cipher redemption AU. They nail Bill’s characterization, getting the balance just right between him being an emotionally manipulative mastermind and a narrow-minded, egotistical fool. The redemption arc is both realistic and slow burn: even after befriending certain characters, Bill is still a long way from giving up his manipulation or admitting his guilt, and the Pines are a long way from trusting him. Every chapter has a creative subplot and well thought out character dynamics, not only between the Pines and Bill but also in the healthy communication within the Pines family. The witty dialogue feels just like the show. This AU will have a main overarching plot and several subplots. |

| 113 | ** Pairing: Pacifica and Dipper |
| 114 | ** Comments: Despite its uninspired title and a description (on ff.net) that says absolutely nothing about the story, it's well worth a look for any fans of the pairing. The individual stories are short and sweet with plenty of fluff, and all the characters feel very real to their cannon counterparts: it really feels like they're all the people they should be three years later. My only real complaint about it is the absence of certain characters whom I'm rather fond of: Wendy has yet to make any appearance whatsoever, and Soos and Stan are both almost entirely absent, themselves. Despite that, it's still far and away the best Dipper/Pacifica story that I've ever read, and I highly recommend it, even to non-fans of the pairing. |

| 121 | ** Tags: Aged-Up Characters, Explicit Content, Magic Use, DarkFic |
| 122 | ** Comments: All of the characters in this fic have been aged up to college, and the twins have been to Gravity Falls every summer until graduation when Dipper decided to move there. The events of "Not What He Seems" are incorporated into it. This fic has a very nice balance between plot and shipping. Very good characterization for Bill - even though this is a shipping fic, Bill is definitely not the fluffy, cuddly type, and is still very much a dangerous, sadistic and selfish dream demon - but apparently, even demons have feelings, and Bill can be nice when he wants to. Also, Mabel is a protective sister and poor Dipper is just a mess of anxiety and feelings.

Each story has a Gravity Falls style mystery element, but the overall arc so far is Dipper dealing with the awkwardness of being 13 with a crush. The first story is about new Northwest family ski resort and the second is about a cult of Bill Cipher fanatics. The character writing is excellent, particularly Pacifica. |

He should be in California, at West Coast Tech, showing the world that he's more than a freakish waste of space from Jersey; showing the world that he's more than the scrawny, brainy half of a dynamic duo. He's angry, sure, and he's sure-as-fuck tired of being just one-of-two-Stans. But who isn't angry right now? The world is in turmoil, they're sending our boys to Vietnam and if it wasn't for this stupid school, Ford would have probably been sucked into the draft himself. But then he meets Fiddleford Hadron [=McGucket=], and everything is different now." |
| 170 | ** Comments: Even if you're not a shipper of this pairing, this fanfiction is a fantastic theory on Ford's first year at Backupsmore and his emotional state. There are some twists and turns in the second act that make it a delight. Paired with discussions on Vietnam and the early history of the gay rights movement, this fic is gold. |

| 211 | ** Synopsis: Once, a brother and sister went to a sleepy town in the backwoods of Oregon, and their views of the world were changed forever. Now, three years later, they must return to answer the call of that mysterious town. Old friends, new dangers, and dark mysteries await Dipper and Mabel Pines as they Return to Gravity Falls. |

| 216 | ** Synopsis: The Pines twins have been steeped in mayhem, mysteries, and magic every summer since they were 12 years old. Coming back home to Piedmont, going to high school, acting normal? All those things make them stick out like a sore thumb. When you ask outsiders about the Pines twins, you get a mix of strange stories and casual observations. |
| 217 | ** Comments: This is one of the first Gravity Falls fics I read, and I keep coming back to it. It's a series of oneshots with plenty of original characters interacting with Dipper and Mabel. The twins also have quite realistic reactions to their experiences in Gravity Falls, especially Dipper. |

| 222 | ** Synopsis: For the first time in as long as she can remember, Wendy doesn't have to spend the end of December out in the woods doing the usual annual survival training with her family. The twins have invited her down to Piedmont so their friend can finally have the first genuine Christmas of her life. However, it seems that not everyone is happy to have a tomboy over for the holidays |
| 223 | ** Comments: It's fascinating to read a story without much supernatural interaction, yet still be full of the series charm. It's largely a story about Wendy finding her attitudes are less tolerable to a suburban mother, producing a conflict that fills you with laughter, tears and joy. |

| 233 | ** Synopsis: Join the full-grown Mystery Twins and the rest of their family as they try to handle the endless paranormal absurdities and other ridiculousness that life continues to ceaselessly and inexplicably throw their way in this collection of one-shots from their near-future. Even as time goes on, there's still nothing that brings down the Pines clan. |
| 234 | ** Comments: This is a wonderful ongoing saga into the potential adult lives of the Pine twins. Starring Mabel Pines with her twins, Gladys and Finn along with Dipper married to Wendy. A mix of humor, good moments and the occasional action are mixed very well here with plenty of callbacks. |

Snapshots of the life of the youngest Pines sibling, born 16 years after her brothers, she is left to grow up in the wake of a family torn apart. Chronicling how a unimpressive skinny Jewish kid, from Glass Shard Beach, New Jersey got to be a successful Journalist, Activist, Mother, Grandmother, Matriarch, and the effect her brothers' falling out had on the whole Pines family. |

| 279 | ** Comments: One of my personal favorite Bill-centric fan fiction that expands his backstory on how he become a bored citizen of his own dimension into one of the greatest dimension conquerors to have ever appeared. One of the best parts here is Bill's brother whom despite being dead early on, remains a critical driving force in Ciphers motivation that somehow humanizes Bill as in spite of everything, cares about his brother. |

Four times one of them got into a fight with one of their great-uncles, and four times their love for each other only grew stronger in the aftermath. |
| 285 | ** Comments: A fluffy and family-centric story that revolves around the teenage twins having a fight with their Grunkles with believable scenarios and consistent characterization. The arguments felt natural and I never felt a sense of ConflictBall that occurred in this fic although the whole spanking thing is a bit too childish for my taste. |

| 290 | ** Synopsis: A little over a year since a car crash claims her life, Wendy Corduroy is summoned back as a ghost with a plea to help a certain first responder come to grips with what he had experienced, and to tell him that it wasn't his fault. The only problem? He has to be the one to initiate contact, and he is terrified of the prospect. |
| 291 | ** Comments: Beautifully written, and a very interesting concept--and it earns major bonus points for what, by all rights, should be a cliched twist ending feeling completely natural and incredibly satisfying. The characterization is spot-on, and the OCs fit in seamlessly. A long read at over ninety thousand words, but more than worth it. (Do mind the content warnings, though--they are there for a reason.) |
| 292 | *** The author also wrote a spinoff fic, [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/5809219 If It's The Last Thing I Do]], that is equally excellent, though Flailing Spirits should definitely be read first, in this troper's opinion. |

While the amateur aspect of the project shows in some of the voice records[[note]]As several people recorded them at different point and in different places, some of them have better quality than others.[[/note]], the art is rather good and the story captures the spirit of the show very well.

| 353 | ** This is, hands down, the best Gravity Falls fan fiction I have ever read. Everyone is in character and it makes for a very moving story as Pacifica joins Dipper, Stan, and Ford to hunt the supernatural. It is rated T as Pacifica's abuse from her parents is amped up from the show, due to the fact Preston used to [[spoiler: put out his cigars on her if she acted up]] and the fact that they [[spoiler: tried to force her into a marriage with a man she just met just to get their wealth back]], but it's still a great read. |

As of Chapter 2, the fanfic suddenly becomes one of the most incredible, edge-of-your seat suspenseful fan-works I've ever read. The connections to other fandoms start showing up, the mystery deepens, and major characters are actually, and mercilessly, '''{{Killed Off For Real}}'''. Suffice to say, only two chapters in and so far it's nothing short of fantastic. It really does feel like what would happen if Disney Television Animation did a TV-14 series. |

Both new ones, and ones he was deeply familiar with. But whatever games those in the shadows expected him to play, he'd win them all. It's time to duel! |

| 484 | "Your sister is a valuable asset to the Universal expansion process."\ |
| 485 | At least Bill knows he's a jerk. |
| 486 | ** Comments: Kyubey comes around to Gravity Falls and makes a contract with Mabel. Set at the start of Season 2 and ties the new elements to the canon episodes al a 'for want of a nail'. Another interesting element is how other supernatural entities regard Kyubey. (i.e. Bill, the TimePolice, the Love God, etc.) |
| 487 | *** One of the other elements of the story is that the majority of the characters in Gravity Falls, [[spoiler:bar Ford and some of the supernatural entities]], are unaware of the AwfulTruth of forming a contract with Kyubey, specifically [[spoiler: Kyubey rips out the souls of those magical girls and places them in Soul Gems]] and their [[spoiler:inevitable fate of becoming Witches]].

| 537 | ** Comments: An AU where Dipper and Mabel are two of the Loud siblings (birth names Lucas and Leia respectively).

| 538 | *** Okay, this sounds good on paper and has a lot of potential (and I do like the clever ''Franchise/StarWars'' ShoutOut). Unfortunately, what I've read so far is riddled with typos and spelling errors, not to mention how Mabel/Leia is occasionally called "Lyra". Otherwise, it's decent enough. |

| 559 | *** Seconded. The author's work can get a bit over the top in terms of mature content, but usually in a way that CrossesTheLineTwice and becomes impossible to not enjoy, even if you're not particularly a fan of the fandoms being portrayed. Recommended. |
| 560 | *** Allow me to disagree. The author is horrible: It doesn't accept arguments against her works, would ignore cannon conveniently just to continue her hate, she spends money to write FUSION FALLS... She is the Creator/DakariKingMykan of Gravity Falls. Plus, she thinks that if a character gets naked, it is comedy gold. |
| 561 | *** Seconded. Her works are like this: Dipper gets laid and obtains an harem just BECAUSE, Mabel is the worst human being since Hitler, and a character gets naked and becomes the best thing on the comedy since The Marx Brothers. And what happens if you criticize her works? She will tell you "She has issues because my aunt died and a cousin was like Mabel" instead of, you know, act like a grown-ass woman and deal with the reviews. |

| 641 | |
| 642 | ** Comments: As crazy as this grimdark story deconstructing Mable and Dipper's relationship during a post-Cleaved world where everything's gone to hell in a handbasket is, it's nothing compared to the apparent 'story-behind-the-story', there was clearly some drama behind the scenes when this was made, the thing at times reads like two wrtiers fought for control over what went where. Whether or not that makes it better or worse, I'll leave it up to you. But it's defniently an EXPERIENCE. One I recomend you give a read! |
| 643 | *** Tropers/ZimFan89: Seconded. Admittedly, this story won't be for everyone because it tends to deconstruct just about everything, but I suggest everyone check it out if only to form their own opinion about it firsthand. And if nothing else, seeing this many characters from so many different fandoms interact is something of a treat. |

| 661 | ** Synopsis: For three years, Mabel has been in a horribly abusive relationship. She suffers countless injuries and severe trauma at the hands of her abusive boyfriend, Josh, while doing all that she can to pretend that nothing is wrong. However, when the abuse only grows worse and Dipper appears to be catching on to Mabel's lies, Mabel finds herself trapped. Sure, she wishes for the abuse to end, but does she want to risk others getting hurt? Will she be able to let herself get the help she needs? |
| 662 | ** Comments: While this is an incredibly well-written story that is sure to get an emotional response out of any reader (Cryptic is not lying when she claims she's trying to write the most angsty and emotional story on fanfiction; surely it's at least one of them), and it does an incredibly job portraying domestic abuse in a realistic light, from the abuse itself to Mabel's damaged emotional state and desire to cover up the truth of her situation at all costs, be warned- this story certainly earned its T rating, and anyone triggered by domestic abuse should avoid this story. That being said, the beautiful writing and the sheer amount of emotion put into it is remarkable. It's not an easy read, but it handles abuse realistically and manages to put our heroes into a dark predicament. For anyone who enjoys dark fics where the darkness doesn't come from supernatural elements, but rather from real-world situations, this is a must-read. |

| 681 | ** Comments: A Horror/Suspense story written by the same author who gave us ''Dipper's Birthday Rumble.'' A surprisingly dark and sinister tale that could almost seem a bit Lovecraftian at some moments. Characterization is good if not a bit off a few moments and also portrays the psychological impact these encounters could potentially have. |

Altogether it's definitely a good, but very dark read. |

The first chapter's a little rough, but subsequent installments just keep getting better and better. I'd recommend trying chapters 3, 6, and 7 at least, as they showcase this AU and story's unique strengths at their best. The writing style is also worthy of praise. It's very straightforward and quick to the point, but it's detailed where it counts so all the jokes, action scenes, and character beats stick the landing in very easy-to-follow and visualize sequences. |

Dipper, split from Mabel, now faces a suffocatingly ordinary life as an outcast in an average middle school...but he soon finds that Bill Cipher isn't finished with him yet. Rated for future violence. Post Society of the Blind Eye. |
| 721 | ** Comments: A nice mix of continuation from "Society of the Blind Eye", which I guess can also count as an AU (and part-Dark Fiction) because of certain parts that've been revealed now ([[spoiler:Not What He Seems]], anyone?) and a good idea for a potential conclusion to the series. When Dipper and Mabel return home after summer, everything's duller and worse for Dipper, though Mabel seems perfectly happy to be back. That is until Bill comes back into the picture and tells Dipper that the world will end and everything he's loved and cared for will be lost forever unless he returns to Gravity Falls. What happens is a fun, exciting reunion of friends and family fighting the demonic dream triangle and his cult one last time. Highly recommended and deserving of its own page here. |

It really captures the mystery, supernatural, and over-arching themes of family from the original show, all to the extent that there were times I was at least mildly certain that the author was somehow in contact with Alex Hirsch. Confusing at first due to lack of reader knowledge, it draws you in, with more and more details being added each chapter, with a thrill of excitement and terror as it becomes clearer and clearer that Stan really ISN'T what he seems. This fic is almost complete, we're just missing the last chapter. Definitely worth reading, though, and, amazingly enough, currently stopped at a point that won't leave you with the desire to strangle the author for stopping there. Though the last chapter would definitely be nice, there's still a few things left to sort out. |

| 799 | ** Synopsis: After the brutal deaths of their parents, the Pines twins cling to each other as they fight a hostile world. Between Dipper's cunning and Mabel's charisma, they've come to dominate their foster home and middle school - until one day, their great-uncle shows up and takes them under his wing. Now a whole new playing field has opened up for them. |
| 800 | ** Comments: Long story short - ''the'' best takes on the MirrorUniverse FanFic/ReverseFallsAU I've read so far. Dipper and Mabel are cunning, violent, and borderline sociopathic, but it's not [[FreudianExcuse without reason]], and their (familial) love is just as strong, if not ''stronger''. Features numerous clever remixes of canon adventures, culminating in ([[spoiler: the kids willingly summoning Bill... at which point they promptly [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu kill him]] and [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu steal his power]]]]). If there's one flaw to be found it's that the kids border on InvincibleVillain at times, facing few genuine threats (Gideon and Pacifica, while heroic, are side-characters and mostly ineffectual), but if you just want to kick back and watch them go to town on... well, ''everyone...'' |

Trapped in Stan's mind, Bill must make a deal with Dipper to escape his prison and make it back into the real world for Weirdmageddon 2.0. As it turns out, however, Bill Cipher is more than he seems, and Dipper is determined to make the best of a bad situation by trying to truly understand the entity that was willing to risk the entire universe for the sake of a party. Bill is determined to stay on his path to destruction, but can the child of the stars change his course for good? |

| 835 | ** Synopsis: The official summary is, "Stanford Pines was going to make his legacy by becoming the man who changed the world. Children weren't really part of the plan. At least, they weren't supposed to be." For slightly more detail, the story starts in June of 1981 - after Ford met Bill, but before he started work on the portal - when Ford has five year old Dipper and Mabel abandoned on his doorstep. They're his kids from a one-night stand he had shortly before moving to Gravity Falls that he didn't know about until their mother decided he should be the one taking care of them from now on. Soon Stan is brought in to help Ford take care of his new kids. The story depicts their developing relationships as a family while moving through the major plot events of Journal 3. |

| 875 | ** Synopsis: Stan threw a rope to Ford as he was being pulled into the portal. He let go of his journal in favor of grabbing the rope and it was lost to Bill's dimension. Stan had saved him and for that, he was grateful. They talked and forgave each other for the past and all seemed well for as much as a day. That was when Bill's ruthless anger became apparent and he took full advantage of his deal with Ford. Thirty years later, the demon is still punishing him for his refusal to rebuild the portal. |
| 876 | ** Comments: This AU fic is long and dark but amazing. It's very character driven and while it seemly follows canon, things soon take a very different turn. |
