Roughly two months after the events of the Scouring,
Dipper…isn’t dealing so well. And after a summons gone wrong, the
entirety of Gravity Falls is trapped in Dipper’s Mindscape, which has
fractured. Now they need to gather all the parts of Dipper together that
they can find and try to find some way to put their friend back
together, or risk them all being trapped within a demon’s mind forever.
(Reading The Scouring is not necessary to understand this story.)
I’ve been teasing this one for awhile now. It’s not 100%
complete as I post this, and I’m not sure about some parts, but I’ve
teased long enough.
I’ll be tagging at the beginning of chapters for
their contents – if I miss something, please let me know in the comments
and I will add the tag. (The self-harm tag in the summary is primarily
for one chapter and doesn’t come up in other chapters, but will be
tagged for if it does in the beginning notes, for example.)
And on
that note – this chapter contains Dipper’s breakdown and the cause of
the Singularity. So tag for panic attack, and mental breakdown.
Dipper Pines floated in the mindscape, watching his Flock as they
grazed and ambled around the filed he’d created for them. The Dreams,
as usual, were close to two or three nightmares apiece, cuddled close to
their sides and being nudged toward choice bits of energy, which in
this part of the mindscape looked like wildflowers, ringed about by the
nightmares.Dipper himself didn’t match the rest of the tranquil scene. He was
curled into a tiny ball, arms wrapped tightly around legs pulled tight
to his chest as he stared sightlessly over his Flock, his wings in
constant flutter and ears twitching.At the back of his mind he could feel his family’s faint worry for
him, and he couldn’t blame them for it. Ever since the incident two
months ago – which people were already calling ‘The Scouring’ for
reasons beyond Dipper (a mass migration of that size wasn’t something
that could be ignored, and though the questioners had been kept away
from the Pines family for now, and Gravity Falls in general, word was
still leaking out about just what had gone down) – he’d been
feeling…off.It was like he was full of knives, an emptiness and heaviness to his
stomach, slicing sensations every time he moved, jittery and unsettled,
and he was trying his best to ignore any summons he did get.He couldn’t explain it. The physical wounds he’d gotten from it all
had faded before morning (one of the very few benefits to his state) but
inside, in his head…it was all shattered hurting tearing wrong wrong wrong .
