Stan goes through the portal instead of Ford. Unfortunately, Bill finds him-and he's not playing around in his desire to get into our world. Torture is ahead-you have been warned.

UPDATED. When Ford buys Mabel a pair of tap-dance shoes at an arts-and-crafts fair, Mabel shows her appreciation for the gift by dancing and doesn't think she can stop. Literally. Season 3 idea. I DO NOT own the cover image. It was made by Skaleigha at DeviantArt.

"Peter nothing is more important than family and you saved my daughter's life. I'll never forget that but you know I can't have you interfering with my business right?" Tomes doesn't give Peter another chance in the car.

INFINITY WAR SPOILERS Tony tries again. And again. He won't stop until he saves Peter.

That Scene from Infinity War. Spoiler alert.

Peter had a knack for keeping things to himself, causing an unnecessary amount of stress for an greying Tony Stark.

Ford has a duty to perform. He was only doing what he thought was best. Tw: Suicide attempt and pure fluff. Credit/ Thanks to Keleficent who inspired this and the redo!

Her whole life Star has dreamed of playing flags with the rest of her family, wanting to prove herself, vowing to let nothing ever get in the way. But as it turns out, flags may not be the fun game she always thought it was and that the cost of winning may end up hurting someone she is closest to, someone she can't life imagine her life without. Alternate ending, One-shot.

Dipper and Mabel get mugged and their great uncles are the only people available to comfort them.

Stan remembers that something happened after the prom. Something horrible, that Ford has suppressed until now, but after 40 year it comes over him, like a wave of memories, which he can't handle on his own. But he is not alone anymore. Will his brothers help be enough to overcome the pain from the scars, which that dreadful night left on Ford' soul when his innocence was stolen?

Steven has a lot of thoughts going on in his mind and finally tells the gems. Takes place a few days after Joy Ride.

"Stanford held the blood in his mouth. It was thick, pungent, tasting of copper and bile. He resisted the urge to spit, to gag, to choke on his own tongue. He waited." A drabble.

It was hopeless. Like a desolate, lonely wasteland, my life had faded into a mere shadow of its former self. Official sequel to Lab Rat.

Mabel's one wish when she returns to Gravity Falls for the next summer is to continue things from where she left off: having fun with her friends and family, and strengthening her bond with her great-uncle Ford.

"I'm old! I've lived my life. Sure it wasn't much of a great one but I've still lived it! Those kids haven't even gotten a chance to start living! I'm not letting them die if there's something I can do to prevent it! So help me Stanford I'm not letting you take that away from me! So suck it up! Shut up! AND START STRIPPING!" My take on what happened when the Stans switched clothes

When a house burns, you can build a new one, but you can't get the old one back. And if it's cursed, doubly so. In which there is no getting back a mind once it is erased because Bill made sure of it. And all Stanford can do is try to preserve the burnt pieces.

When Ford gets into a little disagreement with his niece, he must figure out a way to make it up to her and prove just how much he truly appreciates her.

Mabel wants to give a small but heartfelt poem to Grunkle Ford but he snaps at her for entering the basement without permission. Can he cheer her up after seeing the broken state she's in after his outburst.

Ford isn't feeling well, so Mabel takes it upon herself to take care of him. Mabel and Ford fluff.

Mabel wakes up from a nightmare that scares her deeply and makes her self reflect. Ford sees her up in the middle of the night and tries to pry open what nightmare Mabel had in hopes of cheering her up from her sad mood. Mabel X Ford fluff.

In which Stan and Ford are only able to talk about their issues while standing half-naked in a hell pyramid prison. Which, for the record, was not where Stan expected to end up when he woke up this morning. Typical. Just typical.

Weirdmaggedon may have ended, but it's a long way to go before everything's fixed. Stan and Dipper are just learning that the hard way.

[Gravity Finale] The good thing with memories is that you can always make new ones.

*One Shot* In the aftermath of the Real World plot line, the Turtles learn about the horrific world Donatello was forced to endure. **Bro Fluff**

In a burst of anger Mabel says something to Ford she instantly regrets, and she's not quite sure how to fix it. Angst, then fluff.

Stanford was terrified and for once wasn't too proud to show it. Because his brother was in danger. HUGE danger and he couldn't help him, couldn't do ANYTHING. There was nothing he could do but watch as he slowly started getting less and less air. -Counterpart/Sequel oneshot to Fallen. Second in Rock Falls verse. No shipping but feel free to let your ships sail.

Everything was so hard to understand. He probably had a dangerous concussion, and he wasn't sure how he able to breathe at the moment, so it was also extremely hard to think. But Ford was here so everything was going to be okay. Right? -Oneshot, first in Rock Falls verse. No shipping but feel free to let your ships sail.

Imagine the Pines brothers when fighting over Ford's last Journal. Imagine Ford kicking Stan into the blazing hot console. Imagine Stan crying out in pain as the symbol gets branded into his skin forever. Imagine all that. But what if Stanley doesn't punch Ford in the face? Can one little change effect their future and their relationship? {No stancest, Please Read&Review)

Stanley doesn't think very highly of himself. Not really, not truly. On the inside, deep down in his soul, Stan Pines doesn't think he deserves to be happy considering all the bad he's done. That his whole soul and mind isn't worth much. We've always have known that. But this is the first time Ford is hearing about it though. {No slash, please take time to Read&Review!}

The day Stan was kicked out was not the last time Filbrick Pines heard from his son.

Mabel can't sleep, and when she ventures downstairs discovers Ford in the middle of a nightmare. Ford and Mabel fluff.

You have two options. Just two choices. One will cause devastation to everyone on the planet and the other will cause the death of someone that you've known your entire life. So which is more important to you, IQ? The life of your world or the life of your brother?

Nightmares rouse Mabel, and she can't handle her guilt anymore. She just wasn't expecting Ford to find her when she pulled out the matches. Ford and Mabel fluff.

When Rick disappears on an adventure without Morty and is gone for weeks, Morty presumes him dead. Unable to cope with being 'special', school, his parents fighting, and just life, without Rick's guidance, he decides the only way out is death. But not everything is what it seems. Trigger Warning; contains attempted suicide. Feedback appreciated.

13 year old Soos wants nothing more than to forget that it's his birthday. Good thing his boss hates birthdays just as much.

Steven has a question for the Crystal Gems. This question is very sensitive though, but he wants to know their answer. He needs to know.

Pearl and Amethyst remember a time where Garnet had not been so casual about others seeing her eyes and how a certain Steven Universe had changed all of that

Garnet allowed a near imperceptible smile to settle on her face. "Open wide." Steven still refused to turn his head. "Here comes the choo chooooooo." Steven peeked around. Maybe it was an actual choo choo! But no, it was just Garnet with that green goop. He didn't like the green goop. Why did she want him to eat that stuff? He just wanted his juice!

Stan attempts to cash in on a peculiar creation from his great niece. However, it doesn't take him long to realize that he may have crossed a line.

Dipper needs to be patched up, but the hospital will ask too many questions. This leaves few options. Takes place after the events of Sock Opera. No ships.

After too many energy drinks and too many hours of work, Dipper finds himself incredibly desperate. Warning: contains omorashi.

A desperate moment leads to a difficult choice, and Danny must deal with the consequences. A collaboration between Anneriawings and Haiju. Complete!

One month after Darkly Dawns the Duck, both Drake and Gosalyn are finding sleep difficult to come by.

Some weird late night chat between Dipper and Stan- I wanted to get in on this post sock opera fluff business. Reposted from my tumblr.

"P-please dad, please d-don't kill T-Toothless, h-he my only f-friend, m-my best friend, d-don't take away my d-dragon away". Stoick's heart was breaking at the pure pleading words. Aftermath from the Red Death.

Gosalyn has a nightmare that stems from an experience in a nightmare world. A nightmare that brings out her deepest fear. Can her father comfort her and put that fear to rest? Oneshot set after 'Time and Punishment'.

When Dipper goes out looking for the Hide Behind, he encounters something a whole lot worse. Mabel is guided to her brother by that innate sixth sense possessed by twins, but finding him might just endanger him further.

With firearms, it's all about control: she holds death in her palms of her hands until it can't touch her anymore. But this, this is not control. This is holding the killing thing so it has power over him, and power over him is power over her. But she can't lower her weapon, because she made a promise. And even though it's killing her, she's going to keep it.

What happens when a demon flies off with precious cargo in its' talons? And better yet, what or who is this precious cargo? Can InuYasha get the demon and the girl? Terrible at summaries, but if you love Inu/Kag fluff then this is the place to be! Cute with a bit comedy, but all about love.

"I was patient during my training with the Ancient One. I never once asked to go home, knowing that he would tell me when it was time. But I never thought it would be like this." Ficlet. A missing scene from 2k3 season 4 episode "Scion of the Shredder".

Have you ever wondered what was going on in Phil's mind during the attack of Hades and The Titans? Or what he said to Meg before her final breaths? If you have; please sit back, relax, and click away. If you haven't...well, you've already scrolled down by now. ;)

Henry's relationship with his son can be summed up in four words. AU. Character death, much to my surprise.

When Grunkle Stan says goodbye to the twins as he puts them on the bus, he never realized until that moment just how much he loves them and how much they had become part of his life. Very short drabble/my attempt at taking a step into the GF writing world.

Even as a creation of destruction, Stitch couldn't understand the concept of 'death'.

Clamping his eyes shut, Mikey waited for the impact... Opening his eyes he looked forward and expected to see a smirking foot ninja and a blade sticking out of his plastron. What he saw instead made his heart sink. The blue bandana fluttered in the wind. The figure had their arms outstretched to protect him from the hit, twin katanas in hand. He stumbled backward slowly, "L-Leo..."

A short song fanfic about Darkwing and Gosalyn.

April O'Neil and Teng Shen never met. They were two women, who lived completely different lives. Two women, two love stories, two very different endings. One thing in common: no regrets. A poem.

Oneshot; She loves him, and he was to die for. Too bad there's only one way it could end.

Karai can hurt me, torment me, deceive me, kill me… but she cannot make me choose. It’s the typical enemy plot, to offer the chance to save one brother and only one. The choice is easy: there IS no choosing. No longer a oneshot.

A promise broken. A choice made. Thrown into a whirlpool of sorrow, can he find what he is searching for? Will hope shine a light?
