Another transcendence au ficlet. This one’s based on this ask and this one, and sorry to the first anon but I didn’t (overtly, at least) make the quadruplets part of the family, so if you or anyone else wants to write a continuation or another version of this please do.
“YOU DARE SUMMON ALCOR THE DREAM BENDER?” Dipper, his form somewhat obscured by shadows, bared his teeth in the approximation of a grin, looking at the four children in front of him and wondering why they seemed so familiar. The kids all took a step or three back from the summoning circle they’d drawn on their basement floor with chalk. They looked panicked and about ready to cry, but none of them were hyperventilating or sobbing yet, which was good or annoying depending on how you saw it. Dipper’s more demonic instincts encouraged him to traumatize the kids, but he shoved those ideas down in favor of banishing the shadows around him.
“We need your help.” One of the kids said once she’d found her words, the patch over her right eye half-obscured by her bangs, and oh, how history recreated itself ever so nicely.
