History Fanfic / TranscendenceAU

* ShrugOfGod: The mods often stress that the canon of this 'verse is flexible.

* OriginalCharacter: [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters A lot of them]], but notably Henry Pines ([[TheMaidenNameDebate nee Corduroy]]), the triplets Willow, Hank and Acacia, Brian the Organ Duck, Cassie, Malala, Jeremiah Gleeful, Justin, Lepus the Rabbit and the demonic sheep.

* The first Bill reincarnation (human) that brings about several important revelations for an older Dipper.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Within the community, “Toby” might be referring to one of three characters: Toby Determined from original Gravity Falls cannon, Toby the troll, or the Toby who's reincarnated from Bill.

* BornUnlucky: Toby, thanks to Karma racked up as Bill Cipher. When his orphanage burns down, he loses his sister and eye. Then gets adopted by an abusive family. He runs away and lives on the streets until he's taken in by a demon (a.k.a. Dipper) who holds a grudge against him he doesn't understand for crimes he can't remember committing. Things do get better, but he ultimately dies at a fairly young age.

** This also occurs with reincarnations of Bill, such as [[spoiler: when Ian cut out his eye in Reincarnation Blues, or Toby, who lost his eye in a fire.

* FanVerse: A bit of an unusual case in that there's no central fic. The closest thing would be a blog on {{tumblr}}, the mods of which are the main authorities on what is or isn't canon for the verse (particularly Mod Z, a.k.a. Zilleniose), but in general the verse's canon is pretty loose and open to contribution from anyone, which is probably one of the reasons why it's growing at the frankly astounding rate that it is.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: InUniverse in regards to Dipper/Alcor. Mabel and people close to him still see him as her lovable and dorky twin brother despite him being a demon now. Most humans regarded him as a horrifying dream demon who caused the Transcendence. Several of Alcor's cults and followers revered him as a literal god. Children see him as their protector and guardian.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: Sure, he is a demon now, but he is still Dipper.

* EyeScream: Acacia ends up losing an eye; she just collects fancy eye patches to deal.

* GRatedDrug: Yggdrasil is this for Dipper possibly because of him being a former human. It makes him animalistic alright but instead of going on a [[KillEmAll killing rampage]] like all demons would, he acts like a disgruntled cat until it wears off.

* TheHunter: If demons and other supernatural creatures exist, there sure will be hunters.

* EldritchAbomination: P'logh of course.

* EyeScream: Acacia ends up losing an eye; she just collects fancy eye patches to deal. Dipper suffers this when [[spoiler: a young Acacia accidentally threw a bottle of holy water on his eyes during "The Quest For Blood Valley"]], but as a demon, he soon heals and recovers his sight.

* [[EquivalentExchange]]: In every [[DealWithTheDevil demon deals]] one must offer something to the demon in question which depends on what they ask for. It could range from a sacrifice, memories, a favor or worse [[YourSoulIsMine their souls]].

* EyeScream: Acacia ends up losing an eye; she just collects fancy eye patches to deal.

* EvilIsNotAToy: In most cases of demon summoning, demons are more likely to screw with their summoners through their deals. Although not evil it also applies to Dipper too, as his more ill intended summoners would learn it the hard way.

** Explored and deconstructed with one of Mabel's reincarnations Bentley Farkas, showing just how unhealthy and emotionally draining it is to Bentley especially after an incident that strains his relationship with Dipper/Alcor. It takes both talking out their problems to each that they reconcile.

* It's been nearly forty years since The Transcendence changed the world. In Gravity Falls, things have mostly settled down, and life is good.
Quite a few people outside Gravity Falls still aren't happy, though. And there's a certain exile from Gravity Falls more than willing to help them achieve their goal...Namely, the undoing of The Transcendence - and their plans are finally ready to be put into motion.
