->''"I just want to know the truth."''
-->-- '''Gwen Pines'''

''Deal'' is a short webcomic by fan-artist Creator/TurquoiseSpace35, set thirty years after the events of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''.

The tale starts with a young teen, Gwen, desperate for answers. Bill Cipher, eager to make a deal, offers her the answers to all her questions in exchange for something only she can provide. At the last moment, Dipper appears, demanding Gwen to leave. Though struggling to get through to her, his intervention sparks Bill to attack, leaving Gwen to take the deal out of fear. Getting what he wants, Bill shows Gwen the twisted nature of her upbringing, and all that entails.

Story starts [[https://www.deviantart.com/turquoisespace35/gallery/69543018/deal here]].

!!This work contains examples of:

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Dipper and Pacifica become a couple sometime after the events of ''Gravity Falls'' and have children together. Gideon and Mabel are also implied to be couple, as Mabel now lives in the Gleeful's house with a sign out front welcoming the newest Gleeful.
* AdaptationalSympathy: Preston Northwest maintains his worst traits from canon, wishing to see an end to the Pines family, raise "the perfect child he never had", and staying as greedy as ever. However, being forced to work with Bill clearly takes a toll on the man, and he at least shows enough care for his daughter to ask Bill not to hurt her anymore.
* DemonicPossession: After showing Gwen the truth about her brother's existence, supernatural being Bill Cipher proceeds to possess her, needing her as a host to bring about Weirdmageddon once more.
* DistantSequel: ''Deal'' is set thirty years after ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', showing a world where Dipper and Pacifica have children and Bill Cipher returns with a vengeance.
* GoryDiscretionShot: When Pacifica strikes Dustin with a golf club, the frame goes to red and black, only showing a silhouette of the blow.
* OneWordTitle: ''Deal'''s title refers to the deal Bill forces on Gwen, wherein she learns the truth about her brother in exchange for her role in bringing back Weirdmageddon.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Gwen is a dead ringer for her mother, Pacifica. Gwen's model is almost identical to her mothers' at the same age, save for her outfit and darker, messier hair.
* WouldHurtAChild: Though working indirectly, Bill is not above tricking Pacifica into killing her infant son through blunt force.
