If you’re still doing 3-sentence fic – Belle and Onika on their first date?

marypsue:

A whole year’s worth of plotting, planning, daydreaming, and anticipating had all crumbled in front of Belle’s eyes when Onika, eyes sparkling and wearing a smile to rival the sun, held up her invitation to the finals of the robotics competition she’d entered, with the same date as the night of prom splashed across the bottom of the page; Belle had swallowed her disappointment, though – the girl she’d been planning to ask had just gotten the opportunity of a lifetime, and Belle was going to be at least as excited about it as Onika was, dammit.

She’d agreed to come along mostly to be a good sport, since all her prom night dreams were dashed anyway, but Belle was pleasantly surprised to find that instead of the glorified math class she’d expected, the competition was a series of battles to the death – or at least dismemberment – between bots with cute names and impressive weaponry, and she found herself cheering almost as loud as Onika when her team’s creation won the final bout.

And when Onika turned to face Belle, her eyes shining, and scooped Belle clean off her feet, spinning her around once before planting a huge, deep kiss square on her mouth, Belle had to admit that this was better than any prom night romance she’d been imagining.

If the OCs (like Lionel, Bentley, Belle, Mira, etc ) were ever to meet Dipper from before he became a demon, what would they think of him?? What would be their views on him in general??

In a sense, Lionel and Belle did meet Dipper pre-demon, if you consider the fact that he sealed his powers and memories and was, for twelve years, more or less human in practice. So it’d be nothing new for them.

As for others – it would really vary, and not just from character to character, but also in terms of the exact situation. For instance, do they already know about Alcor’s backstory at this time? Do they know that they’re meeting a fully human him through some weird quirk of time travel or dimensional magic or the unexplained power of our collective fandom imagination? Do they have any expectations of the meeting beforehand? It’s really hard to say. In fact I can think of exactly one initial impression which would likely appear across the board:

Oh my god he’s tiny!

Mother’s Day with the Sterlings?

marypsue:

The twins hadn’t been very old when they’d started asking, wanting to know what the holiday was about, why they never celebrated. Lionel hadn’t known what to tell them, had avoided the subject and dodged the questions for as long as he dared, knowing even as he did that, sooner or later, he was going to have to face up to the facts: Maya had left a hole in the centre of their small family, a hole that, no matter what he did, he’d never be able to fill.

He hadn’t considered the possibility that the twins might be ready to face it before he was until the year they turned nine, when he woke up on the morning of the dreaded day to find her photo cycle in the frame-screen by his bed bedecked with bright flower stickers and Belle, sheepish, caught in the act of sticking one to his forehead; it had occured to him as he was following her down the stairs, inhaling the smell of burnt toast and frying eggs, that they didn’t need him to fill the hole that Maya had left.

izaswritings:

Notes: Long story short, I stumbled upon the transcendence au a few days ago and immediately wanted to write fic. Mostly because Dipper vs himself is the most tragic thing I have ever witnessed.

Warnings for death, murder, blood, a bit of gore, etc. Basically the norm for this au, right?

the light we cannot see

Synopsis:  Death would be a mercy, he thinks, so maybe
it makes a strange sort of sense why he keeps murdering all the fools who
summon him with another’s blood.
Dipper and Alcor: where does the demon end
and the boy begin?

Five Stages of Grief

Denial

No, she couldn’t be dead. He refused to believe it. She wasn’t dead. He would return from a summons, and she would be there, calling him bro-bro and Aldork and make him try on a sweater before selling it on her Etsy store.

Mabel Pines couldn’t be dead.

Anger

There he was, lying on the ground, and Dipper could tell by the fading aura that this was it for him.

He looked up at the cultists, and his body darkened, and golden lines broke through with blinding light.

“H͏̵é̷͘͠ ̸́҉͜d͞i̡̡d̸̕n̸̴̵̡͟’̷̧̡́̀t̶̸̶̡ ͜҉̷̸́d͘̕e͏́͢ś̵҉̡e̸͢͝r̶͜͡v̴̶̧̀͟e͢͏ ͏̢͢t̨́͘ǫ̕͢͞ ͞͠ḑ͠҉ì̀ȩ̵͟ ̧̧͘y͏̀̕é̶t̡͟͡.́͜͠”

Max Oliver had died too soon.

Bargaining

Dipper pleaded with the universe as he sat next to the bed, clutching the hand of this girl who meant so much to him. He begged and pleaded, wanting her to stay with him, even for just a little longer.

“Please don’t go,” he sobbed, and his golden tears stained the bed. The universe doesn’t do favors for demons though.

Belle Sterling deserved a little more time in this world.

Depression

Letting go was so easy, and Alcor let himself forget. He couldn’t bear to think about all the ones who died, about his son, who would never understand that he loved him, and his daughter, who had a connection bigger to him than humanity could comprehend. Too many Mabels, and Stans, and Fords, and Henrys, and Sooses, and Acacias, and Hanks, and Willows, and Cassies, and Malalas, and Torakos, and Lionels. Even Bills dying hurt him, because he ended up liking many after Ian, more than he wanted to. And he feels the guilt of those whose souls still remain, like Wendy’s, who remains trapped in that ruin for eternity, thinking that he was going to betray her.

So, he let himself go, and Alcor became a name to be feared again. While human sacrifices remained taboo for him, no one was safe from his unholy wrath if they dared summon him.

And yet Alcor didn’t understand this lingering emptiness and sadness. Despite his lack of empathy, he still despised himself, and often wished he didn’t exist, that it was possible to destroy himself and let his soul continue on. And he couldn’t remember why he wanted this so badly.

He felt a little pang of intense sadness throughout the next few millennium, never understanding what was causing it. It could be a few years apart, or seventy, and there seemed no way to solve it.

But everything hits when this girl opens the journal, and begins reading the words of the first person he ever really cared about, and every single loss he has ever felt comes crashing down on him, and he can’t help but sob with guilt and self-loathing, because he let himself forget them.

A girl whose soul he has never encountered ends up hugging him, the unholy demon he never should have been, feeling sympathy for a monster that could destroy her in a minute.

And that just makes it worse.

Acceptance

He looks at Earth, and can feel everything that every person there is dreaming.

He can feel the death of a Lionel, and there is that sadness that rises, up, but also the knowledge that he lived a full life.

Besides, there is another soul being born.

He feels the first breath of the twin that possesses Mabel’s soul, and smiles.

Who knows what life she will have? Maybe causes unknown will cause her to die before she can experience the world. Or maybe she will live on, growing old and getting married and having plenty of kids, grand kids, and great grand kids before she breaths her final breath.

Dipper smiles, and he closes his eyes as he takes something in his chest, and pulls.

As he, finally, gets the chance to move on, he smiles.

Everyone dies, but he is proud to know that some of them loved him and cared about him as he fades away.

The former demon and former god is reborn as Penelope, almost exactly a century later, and the doctors are all confused when she doesn’t cry.

When she is born, she laughs like she has all the joy in the world at this new cycle of life.
