Here’s my angst-riffic fic for the anniversary. Fair warning: it ends on a cliffhanger and the second part may not be out for a while.

It was supposed to be a summoning just like any other.
It wasn’t.
Part 1: Dipper
It was a fairly ordinary night in for the Pines family.
Henry was out for the weekend at some kind of librarians’ convention, and Mabel
was grocery shopping (and with seven people to feed and one of them a demon,
long trips to the grocery store were common), which left Dipper and Stan to
watch the kids.So, naturally, they’d summoned Dipper to the physical plane
with a bag of lollipops and were playing Monopoly.Technically, Dipper was only the banker, because house rules
said that no one with omniscience could have a pawn, but that rule said nothing
about auctioning off hints or specified rolls of the dice to whoever offered
the most candy in return.One far-too-easily-purchased Park Place and a couple trips
to Jail later and the game had devolved into more of a shouting-and-auctioning
match with the occasional throw of the dice, but the kids weren’t running wild
over the entire house, so Dipper considered it a success.Of course, it wouldn’t have been a weekend night at the
Pines house without a summoning.
