Hey, people stalking the Transcendence AU tag. I’m that person continuing the My Immortal crossover/ripoff/thing. Now I’m going to continue as much as I can, but I do get stumped on “what character should be who” when it comes to it all. If anyone wants to pop into my inbox and suggest things, it would be welcome.

The Incident with Mrs. Peterson, please!

:claps hands:

This one changed a lot from conception to execution. I had planned, initially, for Belle and two friends (who ended up only making a cameo at the party) to basically have to storm the Church of New Canaan after one of Dipper’s teachers figured out that something was not right about that Sterling boy and tried to have him exorcised, but that was way too similar to something seiya234 had written, so I decided to change it up. Having Onika come with (honestly, having her exist in the first place) was a surprise, but a pleasant one.

The glitter bomb spell, which was the product of a stroke of inspiration when I was trying to think of what sort of spellwork a reincarnation of Mabel might gravitate towards, and then presented itself as an elegant solution later when I was trying to figure out how she could do destructive magic if her primary forte was decorative and illusory magic, also initially came earlier, when they needed to break out of the stairwell; luckily, I realised that it was too good to waste on that and needed to be saved for the end.

[1:39:00 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: There are definitely going to have to be the kind of shenanigans that require dropping the human disguise in this fic
[1:39:18 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: because Dip was kind of out of commission for most of the last one
[1:39:37 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: and I need a little bit more ‘awkward kid suddenly dropping all the awkward and turning terrifying’
[1:39:56 AM] Seiya: I NEED SO MUCH OF THAT LIKE YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW
[1:39:59 AM] Seiya: I LOVE THAT SO MUCH
[1:40:01 AM] Seiya: esp in rrr i think
[1:40:14 AM] Seiya: in this time in dippers life its a given that everyone knows hes a demon
[1:40:19 AM] Seiya: (in his life that is)
[1:40:32 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: but  they don’t necessarily all KNOW know it
[1:40:37 AM] Seiya: true.

[1:41:28 AM] Seiya: OH MY GOD YES
[1:42:05 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: and it’s funny because much as everybody in GF kind of brushes him off as ‘oh yeah the kid with the sweating problem’ that can be almost as bad as people in Piedmont just. not. believing it?
[1:42:13 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: sort of depending on the circumstances?
[1:42:23 AM] Seiya: oh my gawwwwwwww

[1:42:39 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: but like
[1:43:14 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: just that then they’re not scared. they’re nOT SCARED. THEY SHOULD BE A LITTLE SCARED. not a lot scared. BUT A LITTLE SCARED.
[1:43:36 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: (and then part of him is just like, no. you can use this. they all underestimate you. you can cheat them blind. you can use them.)
[1:43:55 AM] Seiya: imded
[1:44:30 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: (and then he goes and sits in a ball in a tree for a while and everybody notices the forest is all lit on blue fire again and just kind of sigh because. dammit pines your kid is freaking out again.)
[1:44:55 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: (yes he’s your kid we all know how you feel about them you’re no good at hiding it.)
[1:45:37 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: I don’t know, I don’t know if this even works or makes sense. Blahhhhhh.
[1:45:49 AM] Seiya: NO IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE OMG YES
[1:46:10 AM] Seiya: dipper being conflicted because part of him wants that fear and part of him doesnt
[1:46:22 AM] Seiya: part of him wants to abuse that trust and part of him is sick at the thought
[1:46:46 AM] Seiya: (a miniscule part of him wants to go ahead and eat mabel’s soul because he knows it would be the most delicious thing ever
[1:47:11 AM] Seiya: henry comes home that day to find dipper covered in golden blood and all the forks gone from the silverware drawer
[1:47:36 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: yeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss
[1:49:33 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: Dip is lying at the bottom of the stairs with his head at a weird angle and he looks up at Henry with his eyes somehow more catlike than usual and says, calmly, “Have you got any chocolate? I’m not done hurting yet.”
[1:49:49 AM] Seiya: oh.
[1:49:49 AM] Seiya: oh my god
[1:49:53 AM] Seiya: mary mah heart
[1:50:22 AM] Seiya: sometimes henry is like “omg bro it k stop hurting yourself”…and sometimes, esp if its just going to be the two of them home alone for awhile….
[1:50:26 AM] Seiya: he gets dipper that chocolate
[1:50:34 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: yeh
[1:50:53 AM] Mary Mary Quite Contrary: because honestly he doesn’t really want to find out what happens if he doesn’t

Give me a fact about the first(?) fic you wrote for the Transcendence AU with Leigh?

haberdashing:

Yep, The Summoning is the first fic I ever wrote for the AU! First Gravity Falls fic I did, actually. The beginning of an era.

I came up with the name Leigh as a reference to the Stanley theory, though it hadn’t been mentioned in the context of the AU at that time.

Also, it was written well before the triplets’ kids were known entities. In fact, it might’ve been before the triplets; I know the first fic mentioning the triplets was published around the same time, but I’m not sure which came first. Leigh is not one of the triplets’ kids in more recent canon, but rather than dismissing the fic as no longer canonical (which I’ve had to do on occasion, though more for Twitch Plays Pokemon than for Transcendence AU) for that reason, I’ve headcanoned that Leigh is one of the Pleiades. A tenuous claim to canonicity, but a claim nonetheless.
