Bill Cipher's Unhelpful Guide to Reincarnation
is The Owl House and Gravity Falls crossover story where Bill is reincarnated into Luz, and Hilarity Ensues.
Bill Cipher's Unhelpful Guide to Reincarnation contain examples of:
- Accidental Hero: Luz opens up a portal to the Boiling Isles, inadvertently allowing Vee to escape Belos.
- Adaptational Early Appearance: Thanks to a portal Luz makes, Vee and Belos make appearances much earlier than canon, before Luz ever heads to the Isles even.
- Break His Heart to Save Him: To make her daughter from her time as Loki, Hel, go back to her land and avoid dying from too much time in the world of the living, Luz engages in this trope.
- Composite Character: In this AU Luz is the reincarnation of Bill Cipher, with all her memories from the start.
- Dramatic Irony: When Luz accidentally opens a portal to the Boiling Isles that Vee escapes through, Belos assumes from her room that it's some demonic realm and that Luz is merely posing as a human (when she's actually a cosmic being reincarnated as a human), not realizing that it's Earth before she closes the portal.
- Enfante Terrible: Luz might have been tempered a bit by living as a human, but she was still Bill Cipher, so she's still a creepy child a lot of the time.
- Good Feels Good: After Luz secretly heals Manny's cancer, when she sees how happy Camila and Vee are at the news she feels oddly satisfied.
- What Is This Feeling?: Luz regularly has to deal with this in her time as a human.
